Yes awesome...Congrats to everyone so far. Great thread. Seems to be alot of good mojo at that ranch. Terry that pic of Chris' memorial with your stand location in the back round gave me goose bumps.

Jeff...my PCH didn't like my regular Trads....don't know why....only bow I own that didn't like them....so, I tried the Trad Lites....perfect.
Being that that bow is lighter than all my other bows at 58#s, I also dropped a little head weight. Along with a lighter head, and the lighter shaft, I kept the same speed I was use to for TX with one of the Steel Force 150 grain 4 blades. Didn't want to worry about where I aimed due to a different speed than I was use to.
I had some heavier lites in my quiver for the larger hogs in case they showed.

Don't want to get overly technical, but probably applicable to the Texas Deer hunt... How heavy did the Trad Lites weigh in at? As compared to your regular Trad Heavys...

508 Jeff vs 580....508 moving at 183ish is NO PROBLEM for deer anywhere in the country as you well know.
My heavier lites were about 560....with WWs and No Mercy 4 blades.

Very similar to the setups I use there... 480 grain arrow Magnus 1 and Delta 4-blades out of my 60# Shawnee. Haven't had a shot there yet that didn't have 2 holes...
Anyway, back to the hunting!

Great stories, I cannot help but notice David seems to have dropped a few pounds, looking slim and fit.
