I always send them to Myself...this way your email Program will ask you if you want to resize them....and then just choose "More Options"...Then Medium Size....and there you have it....send it to yourself...save it...and add it to your Post here....The Photobucket Thumbnails are way Puny....if you use Photobucket...then copy the hyperlink and add it to your post....this way it will be the full sized picture instead of the Thumbnail....hope that this helps....

Bryan, On Photobucket re-size your pics 640x480. Put the cursor on the re-sized pic and right click on the IMG line(bottom of window) and and choose "CUT"...come back to PA and right click and click on "PASTE" and the link will appear. You can put up to 6 pics at a time on a post.
   Hope you had a good hunt this weekend. You will be able to post those hero shots now! ;D

You could hit an elk here in Western Montana with that weapon. Nice job and bookmarked under Sept Self Bows for BOM fun.
