“The closest thing I can relate it to would be trying to hit a living golf ball that had a chronic case of paranoia and was strung up on cocaine.” lol haha… I know what you mean… I shot one a few years ago with a “C” word bow (before i started shooting a real bow) anyway they are fun and hard to shoot… nice bow by the way….

in reply to: who carrys a backup gun #28735

24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 day a year i have a gun within arms reach of me. when i was a teenager hunting in Missouri i came across some “farmers crops” out in the middle of know where and i did have a shotgun on me then (squirrel hunting) but the thought came to my mind “what if they had seen me and what if i didnt have a gun?” ever since any time i’m in the woods you better bet i got at least a CCH pistol with me. And no i didnt help my self to any of there “crops” lol

in reply to: been awhile but i'm back… #23337

oh i am only starting out with about 20 minutes at the range (back yard) to get back into it, but i was reffering to even when i shot everyday, i dont know i just feel like i would be more accurate with a lighter bow… now does any one have a suggestion on a good arrow weight/spine for a 45# longbow? i have a 28″ draw and i’m shooting 2117 30″ aluminum arrows with a 220 gr point right now for my recurve…

well i looked for just over 3 hours, it was driving me nuts at work so i took off at 12:30 and went looking… i dont understand where she went off to… however i did find a huge shed, 6 points (only found one antler) and i cant touch my finger tip to my thumb at the base!!!

i wish i could and i couldnt agree more Dave but i have to work tomorrow at 7am and there is no way i can take off or come in late i have to give a meeting at 7:30 am… i will go back out straight after work though, the thing i’m worried about besides the coyotes is the heat, it is still getting into the 80’s in the mid day here in Kansas…. this sucks! i mean i’m going to find her no matter what but i got a bad feeling she aint gonna be any good….

Well like Dave said they best (cheapest) place to get your hunting attire is places like good will or any resale shop.. at good will pants are $3.50 and most shirts are from $3 to $5 and every time i have been in there that have a bunch of greens, browns and BDU’s. i got a night almost new pair of thinsulate 1,600 gram hunting boots for $8… just saying its worth a look…

in reply to: Treestand Safety #9761

i once was using a climing tree stand and i got about 30 feet in the air and some how it didnt catch onto the tree right i guess and i slid down to the ground at what felt like about 100 miles an hour, i didnt have any kind of strap on and was VERY lucky not to get hurt anymore then bruises and scrapes but it could have been much worse, and honestly getting into a tree now scares the crap out of me so i dont but i will say everyone is right on, where a harness not a waist band and dont use climers they suck lol

in reply to: differant weights? #8443

Steve and Ed i agree 100% with going with carbons but do to my evry tight budget i got some aluminum arrows (i can buy 3 dozen aluminum arrows for less then the price of 1 dozen gold tips, but next year i think i will invest!) i also got 75 grain glue on point adapters and a 11/32nd point test weight kit, so we shall see!!!
