possibility of having gradline overlays for maps
Possibly.. I’ll look into it. I’m also looking into see how difficult it is to port the program to Droid and Iphone. Right now you can’t add a grid.. But I bet we can add that.

possibility of having gradline overlays for maps
I hunt on a club located on a timber company lease.  The area is rough............some of the folks have been hunting there for over 30 years but most hunters don’t know the area and only hunt for a few days a year.   Stand locations and deer drives have acquired names over time the problem is that the majority of the hunters don’t know specifically where the stands and drives really are.The question is it possible to have a grid overlay say of 100 yards that could go over a map?  That way every grid could have a locator alpha and numeric locator.  The grid could be further broken down when giving the location to a person say being put on the "old rock stand" in quadrant A of grid F-17.A map could be printed and given to the hunters a the scale which would include the most features in a specific stand, and or drive.  Given the fact that this lease has zero food plots the majority of the hunting includes drives.Will Connor   Marcellus NY   wilcocsc     wilcocsc@aol.com

No options for MAC users?
The problem is.. None of the developers has a Mac.   If I could find an emulation program that was reasonably cheep, I would consider it. There are windows emulators  you can get for the mac that are free. You could download a windows emulator for your mac and then you would be able to run our software on your mac.

It is always a good idea to read the rules before you start hunting. You can checkout the hunting crossbow regulation list for all 48 US states here:

I often wonder where they come up with these weights for hunting. In Canada the law states you only need a bow that can shoot a minimum  39.7 lbs at or less than a 28" draw  for deer and turkey, and 48.5 lbs for bear and moose! I am comfortable shooting at 59-62 lbs which i do.

I agree with Deer Crazy in SC however a word of caution. You should be very careful with useing low poundage simply because of laws. In Arkansas you aren’t suppose to shoot a bow with less than 50 pounds however Arkansas is one of the few states that will allow you to hunt with a crossbow without some sort of disability. Just try to keep up with the local laws the best you can.

       In reply to the forum claiming that only 55lbs. of draw weight is needed to kill a deer, draw weight has nothing to do with being able to cleanly kill a deer.Their have been plenty of deer killed with bows of lesser draw weight.The amount of kinetic energy that is delivered by the arrow at impact is most crucial.A bow with only 40-45lbs. of draw is capable of killing, backed by a razor sharp broadhead and a well placed shot.So its not in how much you can draw,its more like how well you shoot.

The most important thing to remember when shooting a bow is that it only takes 55 pounds to kill a deer.  That being said if you cant draw your bow smoothly then the draw weight is too much for you. Another thing to remember is that when your shooting you want to shoot a about 50 yards to start. This might sound insane to some people but when you get down to the nitty gritty of it you will be lucky to shoot at a deer over 20 yards. shooting at that distance makes all your closer shots that much more accurate. accuracy is the name of the game when bow hunting.

I have mine set at 73lbs while hunting. I can shoot accurately at 100lbs but I don’t hunt with it because it can be hard to pull back when your cold and got lots of clothes on and sitting down. My rule of thumb is if you can’t pull back your bow sitting down with ease then you should lower your poundage.

You should be able to point your knocked arrow at the deer and draw your bow back smoothly without having to strain much or raise your bow (or point) your bow to the sky.
