About This Site

Not everyone can afford to hire expensive guides and outfitters; some of us just want to do it ourselves. The purpose of this site will be a cooperative effort between Team DIYBowhunter.com and every other Do-It-Yourself Bowhunter, helping each other with fresh DIY articles and a forum where we can help each other hunt smarter, and get more information about an area without having to drive 500 miles.

    When you put something in a safety deposit box, you want to be sure it is safe and secure, insured and that you can be sure of what's inside every time you open it. As a bow hunter, I want the same thing for my gear, especially my bow. SKB Cases makes the safety deposit box of bow cases and I was fortunate enough to field test the SKB ATA Parallel Limb Bow Case.

    Do you remember when you started using a peep-sight on your bow? I remember it very vividly. At the time, using a peep-sight was a new gimmick. Little did we know that the 'gimmick' was going to aid in our focus and help us bring down more animals by improving our shot placement.

    Vuvuzelas. I don't think there's anything more annoying than those things. If you don't know what they are, Google it. Black flies and mosquitos buzzing in your ears and biting you while you are hunting can be just as annoying, a bit more painful and have more of a health risk. I am not a huge fan of spraying down with bug spray before or when I hit the woods. It can get smelly, wear off and may not cover all areas. What do I use? When I hit the woods I bring my trusty ThermaCELL mosquito repellent.

    Gadgets, gadgets and more gadgets! I love gadgets and things that make my life easier. I am constantly striving to find good products for me and my fellow bowhunters that will make life easier  in the long run. Time is valuable and I want to have more time to hunt and less time working on my gear. For years I have been fletching and re-fletching my own arrows with a single-arrow fletching jig. It has been time consuming, mediocre and sloppy.

    When I first moved to California I had a very difficult time finding areas to hunt. I was also intimidated by the maps that you can buy at the local sporting goods stores. They cover a very large range and it's difficult to find specific locations to scout, let alone hunt. I am not sure how I found out about MapCard, but it has proven to be one of the best tools for my trip planning in the past year. It is limited to only the United States, so if you are traveling abroad you'll have to find different maps.
