Quivers
In an ideal world, you would not shoot your bow with a quiver full of arrows hanging to one side.

The perfect bow quiver must have tight arrow grippers. And, if you are going to use mechanical broadheads ...

Trail Cameras
Trail Camera Tips Mount your camera so it is not facing the rising or setting sun. Cameras facing the sun will have a couple of hours of washed out pictures while the sun rises or sets.

Fifteen to twenty feet in front of the camera is usually best. Be sure the camera is mounted above the eye level of the game you're scouting. Camera flashes from above resemble lightning and will ...
