It sounds like we were raised much the same. I’ve passed on my fair share of animals, no matter what I was hunting with at the time—firearm, compound, recurve. My father always in the moments after would ask why I didn’t take the shot. But as soon as I mentioned whatever reason I was uncomfortable with taking the shot he’d nod his head in understanding. There was never any negative feedback or pushing to take shots I was uncomfortable with. I also agree with all three being important. There are so many things to take into consideration and so many factors that need to come together for that perfect shot. Great answers, and as always, so much extra information I never thought of. Thanks!

Tophat adapters
Does anyone here have any experience with those tophat screw on adapters for wood arrows? They seem pretty sweet, I dont know if id use them on big game but being able to change heads on my stumping arrows from stumpers, to field point, to broadheads just in the truck sounds pretty cool. Curious how they hold up.

Following. I’ve looked into these as well and am still considering.

Maintaining instead of replacing
I have in the past cost myself more money by trying to continue to make use of something rather than replace it because I just hate throwing things out. Im not a hoarder, I just hate throwing things away I could use for something. So I find myself looking up ways to recycle things I can't recycle if that make sense. One of my favorite things about making my own wooden arrows is I can repair them. More of my woods for my 3d bow have been repaired than not at this point. I've had guys tell me that my arrow is a write off just to be amazed at how easy it is to repair them with this nifty thing. I love this part. I don't even try to hide the repairs, I think it shows the character of the arrow. This arrow has been through some stuff hahaha. I broke one more this morning but I just make some repair footings sometimes and keep them on hand so it took five minutes to fix it when I got home. At this point when im hare hunting or grouse hunting my quiver is a mixed bag of mismatched patterns and feathers, and different size repair footings. And I think that's awesome. I've been shooting and repairing some of these for two years. Thats not an option with my carbons.

What’s the repair process like? I have to admit I haven’t looked too far into the whole footing process.

What shot opportunities do you pass on now that you didn’t early on? What matters more to you in a hunt: distance, angle, or animal awareness?

@Grant Richardson My week weekend is booked with away games. But, my week looks okay.

Smoked Cheese
instead of wild game. I recently got a new pellet grill and one of the first things I tried was smoked cheese. I tried gouda and 2 different flavors of cheddar. I used apple wood chunks and kept the temp at 80F fro about 2 1/2 hours. After a couple of days of aging in the fridge, talk about flavorful as an appetizer with a apricot habanero jam on a cracker.
