The Captain

Safety issues aside. 1) Is it legal to shoot your bow on your property within the City of Phoenix? I searched city code and came up empty. 2) Where is the closest place to Sportsman's Warehouse (I17 and 101) to shoot out to 80-100yds with a bow that is not Ben Avery? Used to be able to shoot in some of the big open lots off 7th Street/Deer Valley and they are all fenced off. Thank you!

Same issue w heavy boots like Kenetreks. Blisters from lift can ruin a hunt. Picked up Altra Lone Peak 4.5 trail runners for a 100 mile section of the AZT. Loved them. 20 miles/day no problem. They have a rock plate so your feet hold up on the rough terrain. I added a short pair of the Kenetrek gaiters and now I brush beat w the Altras. I won’t go back to lugging around a five pound weight on each foot in the form of a hiking boot. I wore this setup this year for my rifle mule deer, 23n rifle rut elk hunt, and all my OTC archery coues. I don’t hunt roads and I don’t cruise trails. I like brush beating and hiking hills. The thistle was high this year and the addition of the gaiters was key. I used this same setup for cold weather PA whitetail hunting and packed a pair of booties to slip over my Altras when I got to my stand. I have a size 14 pair of Kenetrek Mountain Extremes with a 100 or so miles on them. Dust collectors.
