Wear a safety belt. Please...Always...AMEN...even Mark made a comment without being a wiseass...and that is a minor miracle.[hihi]

Oh...keep your elbows DOWN, it leads to more accurate shooting[up]

Title was a joke because we were shooting from the attic..... Thanks pathman you seem like a nice guy. Thought the pics were pretty cool, o well sorry for getting excited for this upcoming season. Like I said, if I was hunting there would be a safety harness on so lighten up its only 14ft high with a ladder going up to it.

i dont see why everyone is making a big deal about it, yeah its important but its alittle ridiculas to put it on everytime you get up after retreiving your arrows, ect; nice shooting and good luck this year!!

Thanks kid, I'm sure you're a good guy too. The pics "were" cool, and it's great to see you young guys getting excited about the upcoming season and shooting already, That's a great start! But...do it safely! listen, all of us guys with a "few" years on you have all been where you are right now. We weren't born at this age you know! LOL Indestructible, no fear, nothin can happen to me, it's only 14 ft! Well, I have too many stories of fellow hunters that felt the same way, and now they can't enjoy their once favorite pastime because it's hard to climb a tree in a wheelchair etc. Sorry to be so blunt but sometimes that's what it takes to get through to young invincibles' Good luck out there kid!

Cool...looks like a lot of fun.

Just wanted to point out too...Young man in the red in the middle of one pic might need to shorten draw length. Reason I say might is...

Z type form. Head/neck is zigged back, and upper body is leaned way back too, but front shoulder is hunched very high and front elbow very bent. DL might be close, but front is collapsing, causing draw side to have to lean.

Not trying to be a dick, just pointing out some things that young man could fix if they wanted to.

After seeing the photos I thought the same thing about the safety harnesses. im not some old goat (33) but im never in a tree without a harness. but since that's been beat to death.....

congrats on getting out to shoot. i just started myself.
but i just got my bow re-strung and my peep is twisting. got to work that out. plenty of time.

dont be sour on the old-timers. they are looking out for your best interests.

Well hell, if you ain't a kid (at 30) I ain't an "old timer" at 50! LOL You don't look 30, but I'll drop the kid thing anyway. Dam, I thought you were around 20 judging by the pic...I better get these old friggen eyes checked!
