Waterfowl, and archery deer hunting is all I live for. I have taken 3 nice deer this year, and been duck hunting 3 times so far this year, Limited all 3 times. Have only seen a few green heads so far this year. I hope this snow will push a few more down.

Yes, what is happining is that it gets caught in the weather molding, and the safety clutch assembly starts to slip. If you play with the window molding a bit, it will work fine. I had fits with this untill I finally got the top of the window to quit catching on the weather molding.
