My son and I were able to double up during Nevada's mule deer archery season and in Montana for cow elk. He did one up me with his first Nevada antelope.
I was able to fill my tag Saturday. I just started this stick and string thing in April after we got tags. Son had been on me for a couple years to try it. Glad I did.
You might want to check out the Vortex Diamondback. I have been very pleased using these in Nevada, Montana, and Wyoming. You won't have to mortgage the farm either!
My son did the same. Got his bow back on a Wednesday, dialed it in Thursday, took off on Friday, and warmed up on this prairie maggot before spotting and stalking his deer. It has been a pretty good August for him.
