Best Shot Placements While Hunting With a Crossbow
With more state wildlife agencies legalizing the use of crossbows for everyone during regular archery deer seasons, there’s a lot more hunters heading afield during those seasons these days.

The Art of Upland Hunting: Explaining My Concept of “UplandJitsu”
Is upland hunting a sport? Or is it an art? Semantics aside, sure, it’s a little of both. Is it more one than the other? That’s where the argument never ends. When I think sport, I imagine opposition and a need to keep score. I think there are people who are actually really good examples […]

Into Antwerp Final, Auger-Aliassime Inches Closer to First Trip to Nitto ATP Finals
The Canadian is picking up the pace this month. By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Saturday, October 22, 2022
Felix Auger-Aliassime is closing in on his third title of 2023 – and a first trip to the Nitto ATP Finals.
The Canadian, who took down Richard Gasquet in straight sets on Saturday in Antwerp, 7-6(2), 7-6(3), created some distance between himself and Hubert Hurkacz and Taylor Fritz in the race for the final spot to the ATP’s prestigious season-ending championships.
Auger-Aliassime now leads Fritz by 240 points; he leads Hurkacz by 355 points.
If the World No.10 wins his final on Sunday against Sebastian Korda, he will add another 100 points to his total.
The 22-year-old has never qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals before. He is 47-24 on the season with two titles in 2022. He is also 18-4 indoors.
Back to back finals mood 😁👊🏽
One more step to go 💪🏽 Let’s keep pushingSee you all tomorrow 😉🎾

In the final week of the season, all three players will take their place in the final Masters 1000 event of the season at the Paris Masters draw.
Cameron Norrie, Matteo Berrettini, Pablo Carreno Busta, Jannik Sinner, Marin Cilic and others still have a mathematical chance to qualify as well.
Rune Secures Final Berth In Stockholm
#NextGenATP Dane Holger Rune reached his third tour-level final of the season Saturday when he edged Alex de Minaur 4-6, 7-6(1), 7-5 at the Stockholm Open.
The 19-year-old showed his fighting qualities as he battled from a set and a break down against the Australian to advance at the ATP 250 event after two hours and 52 minutes. Rune has now won his past five matches that have gone to a deciding set. He overcame Cameron Norrie in three sets in the quarter-finals in Stockholm.
“It was a brutal match from the beginning to the end,” Rune said in his on-court interview. “Super long rallies. Really exhausting. He takes the ball super early and puts you under a lot of pressure but I am super happy I was able to raise my level towards the end of the second set and I started a bit better than expected in the third. I am super happy with how I fought until the end.”

In an attacking performance, the Dane stepped inside the baseline and fired 45 winners to earn his 28th tour-level win of the season. Rune, currently No. 24 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings, will face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the championship match after the top seed defeated Finn Emil Ruusuvuori 6-2, 6-2.
Earlier this season, he captured his maiden tour-level title in Munich before he advanced to the final in Sofia. Rune will compete at the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals in November, having qualified last month.
De Minaur was aiming to reach his second tour-level final of the season after winning the title in Atlanta.
Medvedev Cleared by his Medical Team to Compete in Vienna
The Russian will take his place in the Erste Bank Open draw for the second time. By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Saturday, October 22, 2022
Daniil Medvedev, last seen retiring from the semifinals of the Astana Open against Novak Djokovic due to an injury, will play next week’s Erste Bank Open in Vienna.
His agent, Olivier Van Lindonk, confirmed the news in an email.
“Today, Daniil decided with his medical team to play Vienna,” he wrote. “He will get there this weekend.”
While facing Djokovic in Kazakhstan, Medvedev said he felt a pop in his adductor during the second-set tiebreak. His retirement left Djokovic surprised. But Medvedev, who had won the opening set from Djokovic, knew he was in trouble the moment he heard the pop.

“It’s the second time in my life I retired like this with a pulled muscle,” fourth-ranked Medvedev said after the match. “So here, on the second point of the tie-break, I felt a little bit [of a] strange pop in my adductor. I first thought maybe it is cramp and after the point I was like, `No, probably not a cramp.’
“And during the tie-break, I felt I can play like five, 10 more points but that’s it,” he said. “If I play one more set, you can do it, but you can probably miss half a year instead of one month.”

Turn Your Pond Into a Duck Honey Hole
