    Last years bull looked like he just finished rolling in a wallow about 20min prior. He stunk. Would not want any piece of that hide in a game bag with meat.

    Have the stratus and fanatic set. The stratus with proper layering is good for me to around 25 maybe a bit lower depending on wind. Fanatic it has to be below 25 before I will consider taking it out. Alot of bulk there. But dam nice when u need it. SD Temps and winds.

    Current State Of Your Gear/Gun Room?

    Pure Chaos. All my gear is in the basement. Bad time to be replacing the furnace... Currently ripping out out the old flooring. Removed the old diesel tank for the burner over the weekend. Let's just say it always seems to be something creating chaos right before the season gets rolling.

    Broadhead tuning

    I'm not as smart as alot of the archery guys on here. But I'd start with dropping your point weight back to 100. I shoot the montects for a fair number of years. Both the 100 and 125s. Always had better luck with getting constant flight with the 100s. After that guessing there is something...
