 XFire ProStaff Shooter Joe Magrogan with the win in the Hunter Class with a 299! Joe also won the new Hoyt CRX with a clean round in the Iron Buck competition.
 Here I am trying to spread the word about yardage judging in 3D....  Over the years, it seems like folks get out of shooting 3d because frustration over yardage judging. I always like to help people learn about it, once you understand the basics and practice it as much as you practice shooting, it becomes easier with time.. 
 XFire Pro Staffer Joe Magrogan winning the Iron Buck challenge! Note.....to the folks at Whitetail Outpost...  and Danny Calloway especially, That is the coolest Iron Buck I've ever seen! Good Job!!

Easy tips to maintaining your D Loop!

The last thing you want to do after your bow is shooting perfect is to replace the D loop! It's the center of all things right with your bow!

I always purchase high quality release aids, but even high quality releases will often have micro burrs around the contact area with your dloop...  Sometimes it takes a month or longer for the burrs to finally make enough of a small mess inside the fibers to cause fraying..  I've seen as little as 10 shots cause burrs with new releases..

Instead of the shipping hassles involved it, fix it yourself in as little as 5 minutes...
All you need is a rotary tool...craftsman,dremel etc. with a little soft polishing brush attachment..
A block of Jewelers Rouge (came with a knife sharpener) but you should be able to google some and find it quickly!!

 and alcohol or acetone and  a Q Tip to clean the residual Rouge off the release calipers or dloop attachment.
Just polish away and you'll remove any micro burr that will over time cut into and fray your Dloop..   Also I like to put a little silicone based bowstring wax on my loop as well..
