Bow Hunting

What I love to do during the off season is hunt, especially with a bow. I use a PSE Bow with aluminum arrows and a whisker biscuit. On the bow I have a Tru Glo sight, which is perfect. Last year when i was hunting I would usually go out in the evening. I would hunt on the edge of a field so the deer wouldn't come out until right before dark. It would be light enough out for me to see the deer and get a shot at it, but because the sight I was using was not a good one... the pins were not lit so I could not see them to put them on the deer. But this year with my new Tru Glo sights, the sights have much more fiber optics on them to collect whatever light is available, the pins are visible until it is just about dark out, giving me a much bigger window to hit a deer.

This year, I have also started using Muzzy 4-Blade Broad-heads. I have not seen the impact they have on deer yet, but I'm sure it will be good. They have a 1 and 1/4" cutting diameter on them and they are razor sharp. I shot at a 6-point last week and missed, the arrow went right over the back of the deer and into some hard mud on the other side. I pulled the arrow out of the ground and there was nothing wrong with the broad head, now that's durability.
