I've had my CTX since mid-May but have been sitting around all day every day since recovering from hip surgery. But today my doctor gave me the green light to do just about anything I wanted. So what did I do? I took the CTX for my first hunt. I only hunted for about an hour but got to know the machine a little bit.
The first 20 minutes were torture for me. Not because of the hip, but because the dang thing was really messing with my shoulder. 15 minutes in, I was telling myself 'crap this beast is going to be on Ebay'. I was aching and fatique was really getting to me. But after about a half hour, I had learned to relax and let the thing swing the way it wanted to and that changed everything for me. I actually forgot I was swinging it. I didn't find anything good, but I was really impressed with the ergonomics. That's good enough for me for a first hunt.
