Thanks Troy,

Boy you ain’t kiddin, it is a lot of fun and really addictive. Its like the crack cocaine of archery:shock:. I can’t believe it has taken me all these years to do this. I can’t stop thinking ” what if I where to do this, or that.” If there is anyone out there not doing this, They should be. Chris

ReadyHawk, there is nothing wrong with that. I believe that is respectable, as killing is not for everyone. After all these years of hunting, and taking many game animals, I still feel a bit of remorse every time I do. I have always gave thanks for the animal giving its life to sustain my family. When I was 6, my Grandfather which was a full blooded Cherokee, caught me shooting the beak off of a woodpecker with a .22 . After a good dose of hickory tea, he explained how the bird would suffer a horrible death by starving. He told me that birds spirit would haunt me forever, and he was right. I am now 41, and that woodpecker haunts me to this very day. I believe the old man put some kind of Cherokee voodoo on me. Anyway, I have nothing but the utmost respect for a man that is honest and follows his own path. Chris

Well Wildschwein, I am looking for a business partner as well as investors. Being that you are in Canada, You can handle all sales North of the border. We can even extend our line to include moose drawers and bear as well. We can have different filters, as well as a universal call. We will just have to include a list of what foods one must eat the night before the hunt to produce the the correct sound of the animal being hunted.- Chris:P

Dave, from what I read, the reviews are not that good. The way I understand it, the red light fuses over green to give a somewhat yellow light that is supposed to make the blood more reflective. the reviews said it made the blood look darker. I have heard of so many little tips and tricks like misting hydrogen peroxide and the such, but I have always stuck to a flashlight and moving very slowly. I was a deer and turkey guide in Kentucky for almost ten years, and this would be perfect for the type of guys we had show up at camp looking like the poster child for Cabelas. Just another sales gimmick like you said Dave, as if we don’t have enough of that on the market. But as you and I both know, people will buy it. I am currently working on a new pair of hunters underwear that allows you to pass gas through a filter that converts the odor into the scent of deer pheromone and there is device built in that will produce grunt’s, bleat’s, and snort-wheeze’s as well. I think I will finally make my fortune.

Morning Doc, you may be right, I may just be looking at them wrong. So if it is, I would do the exact opposite of what I said the first post. Chris:lol: I guess that’s what happens when your blind in one eye, and can’t see out the other!

Good morning from Florida, I would say by looking at the last pic, there are a couple of issues at play. The first is a low nocking point, and the second would be a weak shaft or maybe a clearance problem. I would start with the nocking point first by adjusting it up 1/16″ at a time until the low tear is gone. After that, I would probably try increasing my brace height a twist or two at a time and see if that gets rid of the tear to the left. I would try that before I made any adjustments to my arrow weight, but that’s just me. Good luck-Chris

Hello Earl, I had an arrow question the other day, and these guy’s gave me some great information. I also read Dr Ashby’s report on this, and learned a lot. If you have not read it yet, take a look at it. I believe between Dave and the other fellas on here and reading these reports you can get the answer to just about any question you might have. I know that I will be paying more attention to FOC, and shooting heavier heads from now on. Chris

Gentleman, I truly do appreciate all your input. I am glad I joined this board as I am sure I will learn a lot of good stuff from y’all. I am heading over to Arrowhead Archery in Tampa on Wednesday, and I am going to pick up a few different shafts, field tips of different weights, and some brass inserts. I will get this thing right even if it hair lips all of Georgia. Thanks again fellas, I appreciate ya. Chris

Mike,
I sure do appreciate your suggestions. I will take a look at what Dr Ashby/J.Wesbrock/Troy Breeding have to say. I will also try adding weight to the front and see what happens. I did shoot bare shaft on paper, and the back of the arrow is ripping about 3 to 4″ to the right facing the target. Once again Mike I sure appreciate it.

Chris
