What did you do today to get ready for archery season?

Yesterday put together truck packing list.

Today started to gather it all together.

Less than 5 weeks to go.
 
Got the bow tuned post-break in. Switched to 125 gr points and heads to bring total weight up to ~450gr. Bought my broadheads, 1.125”, 3 blade Montecs. Shot two dozen arrows when I got home. Im not in quite as much of a hurry as many in here - I think I’ll just be hunting whitetail this year in October and December.
 
Took a part-time job in our local archery pro shop. Im in my 4th week there and am learning so much about tuning, maintaining and shooting my bow. I always had the shop do most of the work on my compounds and its great to now know how to do it myself. Plus I get to hang out with a few nationally ranked shooters and pick their brains. All in all, I cannot call it a job, just a great opportunity.
 
Currently working on getting myself a few Programming certificates so that I can earn a better paycheck which in the long run will allow me more hunting opportunities, These things cost money after all!
 
Put new Threadz strings on my V3 31 , retimed it , broadhead tuned it , then shot the African half of the R100 in Yankton SD
 
Took cams off VXR to top hat tune and both bearings in bottom cam r shot. Guess this should b in the "what I was gonna do thread"
 
Yesterday, push mowed under all our trees. Learned a great lesson about checking your socks for balls of lint. Swam at the pool with the kids. Shot the bow.
 
Just finished the Tradquest interview with Jerry Stout. I happened upon it, don't shoot a trade bow, but it would have saved me years of effort if I have found it when it was new.

If you are a desert mule deer hunter you owe it to yourself to find it and pay attention.
 
Just put another 200 shots downrange today, (daily workout) gotta keep those muscles tuned!
 
I had some cookies.....gotta get bulked up before it gets cold.

Pick up my painted ambush green traverse riser tomorrow and the start to reassemble my traverse X.

I mean build my bow.
