I joined up yesterday.
My name is Matt, I am originally from Helena, Montana but now live in Georgia. I am 29 years old, married to the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world. We have 3 kids. My oldest is 6, my middle is 5 and my youngest will be 1 on the 24th of this month. I am an avid bowhunter, but dont get to hunt as often as I would like. My middle kid has a very rare genetic disorder and requires a lot of attention. My wife is a stay at home mom and I am a civil designer.
I recently bought my wife a bow and she really enjoys shooting with me and is hoping to be good enough at judging yardages to go hunting with me this season. Well thats about all I can think of for now....feel free to ask me any questions you may want to know answers to.

I am shooting a Redhead XSC 33 it is made by Parker, with a Muzzy Zero effect next Generation rest, Tru-glo micro-adjust sight, STS front mount, scott release and Beeman ICS 340's. My wife shoots a Mathews Ignition with a tru-glow micro-adjust sight, whisker bisquit rest, Easton carbon Areo 500's, truball release. I was able to go a few times last year. Saw 3 or 4 but only closed the deal on 1. It was nice doe, about 24 yards, she might have run 20 yards. Ive got one pic but it has alot of blood in it so I am reluctant to post it on a public forum. PS - Us Army guys have a rivalry thing with Marines, I prefer my units slogan.... adapt and overcome.  |

Don't let that pic keep you from posting here. This is a hunting site first and foremost and we have all seen blood. You'll get a better idea what we are all about once you have gone through the site  Army it is |

I am always happy to see beginners here It's good to be able to help .... I think thats one of the most enjoyable things about archery and also something that all archers share in common ..... the want and willingness to help |
