    Personal Locator Beacon (PLB)?

    Annual PA donation....

    PA's game commission must have lost my number cause I didn't get a call. Anyone a lucky holder of a PA Elk tag?

    How tall a boot?

    Bowtech Icon carbon

    I have a Carbon Icon and love it. I am shooting the G5 Montec. They are great. I have also shot Muzzy Trocar and have killed a few deer with that set up. Highly recommended!
