While I wave not used a hole critter, I have used a dab of liquid trappers scent on the little nob on the top of my hat. With good results.

P.S. Don’t bring your hat in the house……Wife with sharp objects.

My thought behind this, is to have a arguing point with the wheelies that you have to have a heavy bow to harvest a deer.

99% of the bow hunters around here shoot nothing but deer and think that the TV junk is gospel…. speed, long shots and mechanical junk…

I like to argue with them 😆

Just an oldfart who likes too stir the pot.. 😈

Just checked KY Game book ” no weight limit”.

I Was surprised.

Just talked with a bow hunter last week whose son shot 2 deer W/ 35#……”24″ draw = 23#”. one was a good size doe arrow hit the shoulder blade on the opposite side, feathers just showing. Saw photo of kill. Very interesting.

Just picket up a used Black Creek Banchee Hybred at the All South shoot in Alabama. 38# @28 62″.

Just go back from stump shooting, and I was very impressed.

Thinking about deer hunting with it??????

Got my 1966-67 copy of Archers Bible from Kittredge Bow Hut here.

At 28″– #6 = 45-50#, #7 = 50-60#, #8 = 60-75#,

#9 = 75-90# This is the target chart. (We always thought these charts were high.)

I have a #11 w/ a 5/16 fish arrow inside that I use on our bigger fish around here 😀

The green hunter shafts had standard BH adapters.

Doc. We didn’t have screw-in back then.

in reply to: Micro- Flight #13386

Hey Doc how ya doing. These are the yellows too. The green were in hunting sizes. Yellow were a better quality shaft. They were sized from 00 to 12s

I have a couple 8s left that I hunted with back in the 60s that were rated for about 45# very tough arrow wish they still made them.

I have lots of grand kids that will get more use out of them.

Thanks Mates, I was mainly thinking about the tiller on a new bow I have ordered.

I am sure 3under will help my shooting.

I have found that I like 3 fletch left unburned, they are a tough bird. I have had several bounce off hits with blunts. I now use old 3 blade BHD with rounded points and unsharpened to protect the dogs.

in reply to: Single Bevel #60744

Been thinking of using the old “standard BHD adaptors” as we used to call the non screw-in type. So that I can use a heaver head. I am shooting 45# R & D longbow.

I hunt whitetail mostly, bear and some hogs. To old and beat up for the high country.

Are BH adaptors made for small dia. carbons? Who?

What is the max BH wt. and total arrow wt. I should be trying to achieve? ????

Thanks

Family left Lancaster Co. in 1760.

Ended up in KY about 1810.

Got 180,000 ac. Down the road to hunt. “Land Between the Lakes” near Cadiz KY. Lots of room. Great place to retire.
