I'm just guessing, but: Center had the ball, lost it. The opponent scored. Then Center had the ball, the pass was intercepted, the opponent scored. Then Center had the ball and by the grace of God they actually went 3 and out without losing it, but the opponent returned the 10 yard punt 15 yards to the house. Final score: A whole lotta to nuthin'. :) ?

No offense taken! I am just impressed myself with this bow. I bought it because of it's low price tag because It is my first and I knew I may not like it once I tried it and was expecting a generic bow and was suprised by what I got in a good way. I really don't see any need to upgrade from this yet.

Well the first offensive drive for Carthage was 3 plays for 90 yards and a touchdown, one of those plays being and incomplete pass, the other 2 runs. It was never a game. I left at halftime. Carthage won't go far this year though the way they are playing. Penalties left and right and quarterback throws to covered guys a lot when he has other recievers wide open for would-be touchdowns. Plus he sails the ball a lot, which if he hasn't figured out how to fix that by now, I doubt he will.

Thanks!

Okay, I chunked the hand strap and haven't had a problem with the string burn lately. It's just getting the proper steps down in my mind and memorizing until it becomes habit and I don't have to think about it. Much in the same way as when I first started driving an 18-wheeler and had to think about each shift I made while changing gears. Now I don't even have to think about it. I can be thinking about something totally different because it is committed to memory. As far as the stabilizer bar, if that is all it does is stop the vibration of the bow after the shot then I don't need it. I thought it might have something to do with shot accuracy. But it has absolutely no vibration and is very quiet when fired. My Uncle was suprised that it made very little noise when shooting it. I just can't believe how accurate the sighting is on it. And this is a Diamond Kronik by Bowtech, which I read on the internet was a cheapened down 'generic' version bowtech made. I feel certain that if I have a doe or buck in my sights or hog for that matter that I won't have any problem with placement of the shot. Both my uncle and the guy at bass pro taught me not to put the death grip on the bow so I am loosening up and relaxing and only holding it steady with the front 2 fingers. Sound good ? Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for the Advice guys. I finally got a day off today and was able to get it all done today. I got 12 arrows (Carbon, Beman 400's ICS Hunter) and I got 3 broadheads, Tight Point Shuttle T-Lock 100 grain. I first went by recommendation to Wulf Outdoor Sports in Center, Tx, but the guy said it would be a "few days" before he could get to setting it up for me and I wanted to shoot it today, so I called Bass Pro Shop in Bossier City and they said they could get to it today and for free since I bought it from their website. So by recommendation I had the Whisker Biscuit installed and I guess he kept the old one. But the guy was great and fast. I even got to go into their plexiglass archery room and practice right there and he sighted it in for me! I also got field points, a cobra mamba r-1 swing away easy adjust release, $35 hard case for my bow and arrows, a square target block, and had to pay $316 for all of this! But I am set and got the opportunity to practice there and when I got home, then took it out to a friend's house who has been a bow hunter for many years also because I noticed I was still shooting about 4 inches down and to the right from center consistently so he fixed that for me and then adjusted the 2nd and 3rd range peeps (I guess the green is 20 yards, the yellow 30 yards and the red 40 yards)?? All and all it has turned out to be well worth everything I have paid thus far for it and the only problem I am having is evident on my left arm with a huge red and blue whelp. I hit it 3 times at Bass Pro Shop, and twice since. But I'm just hard headed, I'll learn to move that arm out better! The only other question I have right now is do I need a stabilizer bar on the front and if so then why? It did not come with one and the only place I see that I can place one is where the rope/leather band is screwed into for the wrist strap for the grip of the bow. ??

Who does Gilmer play next?

Who let them dawgs out??

around 1 minute left before halftime, Nacogdoches has the ball. Remember they are running behind because of the 30 minute delay because of lighting issues.

I think I already am. I've a lot of Indian blood in me, so I think it will come natural. I don't even have an arrow yet, but just can't wait to shoot it!

I don't know why you would even take a poll where only East Texas is voting on whether Green Bay will beat Dallas or vice versa. Most everyone on this site are Dallas fans. Do you think you will ever get a majority voting for the other team? Of course we think Dallas will when. But the odds aren't really that great that they will. For Starters, they have NEVER won on Lambeau Field. #2 - They are coming off a short week in which they went all out against a powerful team on Monday night and will probably not firing on all cylinders with a big hangover. But I still take the boys because I bleed TRUE BLUE Dallas 42 Green Bay 23

Okay, thanks guys. I did familiarize myself with all the names of everything on it last night on the internet and found out some more things. I appreciate it. I have a friend that bowhunts also and he recommended I take it to the guy he uses down in Center, Texas at Wolf Outdoors so I am going to take it there Monday and get all the other stuff I need for it as well. Thanks again!

Now that was funny! You must have been sitting close to wear I was. I want to know how the dude even made it onto the field without anyone seeing him!

Well, I actually got the bow from Fedex Today!! It's not a 'Redhead' bow, but a Diamond Kronic by Bowtech. I am going to have to practice to build up my arm strength to pull that sucker!

Fish and Wildlife Department has started releasing black bears into Panola County a couple of years ago when the story was on KLTV's website and Gary is just south of Carthage in Panola County, so I wouldn't doubt it. I heard they were releasing them on some International Paper lands or Louisiana Pacific lands over this way. I spend a lot of time on backroads as I work in the oilfield here and have yet to see one though. But I sure will let you know if I do!

Thank you guys very much. It sounds like great advice. The bow is a Redhead Kronik Right-Hand - 25"-30" - 60-70 lbs. Here is the description and item number. Engineered to be compact and lightweight with lots of advanced features for top performance at an affordable price. The 4" idler wheel and aggressive single cam produce top speeds while the moderate axle-to-axle length and brace height make it extremely forgiving. Adjusts from 25" to 30" in 1" increments with no bow press required. Polycarbonate 2-piece grip is specially engineered to reduce hand torque. Tough machined-aluminum riser, parallel limbs. Color: Realtree Hardwoods Green HD®. Package includes: TruGlo® 3-pin fiber-optic sight, Hostage® capture-style rest, and a 4-arrow, 1-piece quiver. Kronik™ features include: 80% let-off (adjusts 65%) Brace Height: 7-1/8" Axle-to-axle: 30–5/8" IBO Speed: 304 fps Weight: 3.4 lbs. What are the "brace height" and "anchor point"?? I am guessing the anchor point would be the position you are in when you shoot it?

I don't either. I think player comraderie is great, even if they are the enemy come game time. But that's not what I said he was doing. He was introducing himself to the opposing teams COACHES. Now that I personally have a problem with. He is under contract for one team, that means he should be loyal to one team. No cheat on his wife in other words. If you don't have a problem with that then you are a small minority. And of course he wants to play well against a team that he is interviewing for. Let's see if he plays so well against a Cincinnatti Bengals or a St. Louis Rams?? Now that would be interesting.

I went to the Dallas vs. Philadelphia game last night. And was disgusted before the game ever began. During pregame warmups Greg Ellis came out onto the field and was over sucking up to the Eagles coaches and shaking hands with them. Looked like he was wanting to interview for a job. I posted this on the Dallas Cowboys website and they removed the post. Guess Greg saw it and told them to take it off or they didn't want it publicized.

I left Carthage last night to come to Tyler and stay with my sister who had power. If someone is in Carthage will let me know when the power comes back on please!? I live close to the ballpark. What other areas are without power in East Texas? I heard the whole city of Lufkin was out??

I just ordered a bow from Bass Pro Shops but I have never used one in my life. Does anyone have tips for a beginner with one of these things? I was torn between a compound bow and a crossbow. I guess the obvious advantage of a crossbow would be that it can be drawn and locked and loaded so to speak right? What about maintenance on bows? How much money am I going to spend to keep it up and working. Does it require a lot of practice to get skilled at it? Thanks!

Well originally the game was scheduled to be played earlier, which as it turns out would have probably been perfect as the weather here has been great for it all night. But almost all of the Carthage gas stations are out of gasoline or "can't sell it" for some reason. I am just wondering if our next game will be homecoming then or will we wait until October 3rd to have homecoming?? And also, it will be the game before district starts now. Why not just cancel the game alltogether and not play it at all, because it's a game that doesn't matter anyways. It just may get some players hurt before district. But then I guess they would have had to refund my $28 for my 4 season tickets for that game. hmmm.
