Vertical bows used to almost always lead their advertising or sales pitch with how many feet per second the model pumped out arrows. Sure, the “need for speed” was, and remains important, but brands today seem content with about 350 feet per second. They emphasize, however, making their flagship models quiet, with reduced vibration, and more user-friendly.
This evolution makes a lot of sense because the models are still really fast, but a bowhunter doesn’t have to be an expert archer to shoot them.

Steve Carney: ‘Bleeding’ walleyes and the shallow mystery

Features, Fishing, Minnesota, National Fishing / Steve Carney

I have become a big fan of a technique called “bleeding” for walleyes I catch and plan to keep. This so-called bleeding requires a 1-inch cut between the fish’s gills to expel the blood in order to give you beautiful, white fillets.

He seemed to appear out of nowhere. I was scanning the overgrown pasture from my observation point when I spotted two giant, velvet-covered main beams hovering above the tall grass about 100 yards in the distance. Even now, I’m still not sure where he came from. All I knew in the moment was that I was watching the biggest buck I had ever seen … or at least I thought.
