These days I use my SlingPack, and I have to be careful not to overload it. On Day #1 of the season, it is pretty packed.

By the 3rd week, I pretty much whittle it down to:

CATT Tourniquet
Drag rope
Knife
Blood trail tape
Compass
Leatherman Tool
Headlamp x2

I still use the SlingPack, because I may stuff a jacket or vest into it.

I told a friend I was gonna try my hand at leather work and make some arm guards, he instantly requested a hip quiver so I thought I'd give it a try.

Majority of my hunting these days is on my farm or a friends. Never more than 3/4 mile from home or truck. I use a haversack and have for a lot of years. It has a knife, small folding saw, pruners, flashlight, gloves for field dressing, turkey calls, and maybe a length of cord. I can just pick it up and sling it over my shoulder and I'm gone along with my bow and binos.

thanks, everyone, for the info. I had bought some 400 spine shafts thinking they would work, but they were proving to be exceedingly stiff, even with a huge amount of weight up front at factory length. on a whim, I decided to try these 3555 Goldtip trads that were already cut for a similar poundage bow. they flew so amazingly well that I really want to use them. I didn't realize until afterwards that they were so light. hard to give up on such well-tuned arrows, haha!

I think I am gonna try the weight tubes, as well as some paracord (should be much quieter than Weedeater line), and see if I get similar flight.

You were one of the first customers Gary....THANK YOU!

That is what I was going for, Love the profile of your bow what backing do you have?
what glue did you use? 

Any news on Morrison Archery?

I have used leather that I cut to fit and sewn on and have used tennis racket wrap.  The leather does have a nice look, but the tennis racket wrap makes a great grip.
