My money is on BHA! it is also on elected officials who champion wild, public land. They do exist! In New York we had gov. Pataki.

In their shows and ads, the High tech hunting industry loves that paramilitary look and tactics and goes to “war” with animals, so I’m not surprised we arrived at the drone stage. Sad.

Oh yeah, Alex, do you ever go stumping in Central Park? For years there was a big, old, dead, beautiful tree in Washington Park, but they took that down several years ago.

Huh, I don’t think the NYPD would be too pleased to see me stump shooting in Central Park. It could definitely give me some free publicity on the local news. I can see headlines:

“Musician playing hunger games instead of frisbee in city park”!:D

Thanks – got it.

Do you hire out your Human ATV services, drop camps/game pick up etc — haha – there have been times in the past I sure could have used the help!

PS sending PM

Not for hire! Private services, only, sorry, man!!:D

It happens to me very often, with multiple batches, but mostly while stump shooting .

Way Cool ! Shooting inside your house in Harlem and 25yds to boot! I am curious at the term “floor thru”? like a studio apt/house?

Scout,

brownstones are townhouses. A floor-thru place means the apartment runs thru the depth of the structure, usually from the street-side front, to the backyard-side back. Most of them are 17 or 22 feet wide, and 15 to 25 yards deep, and have 4 stories.

bow, arrows, gloves, leafy suit ( in case of a quick Jersey hunt) arrow making stuff, Black box target etc.. stay in my NY city apartment. I live in a floor-thru Harlem Brownstone, 25 yards deep between front-of-house window and the back one… plenty of distance to practice!! 😀

Hunting clothes are stored at my daughter’s house in the Hudson Valley, in plastic bins. Wool clothes are stored in an old rigid cardboard round bin with metal lid. I don’t know how you call those things, but they work great!

Dave,

Are you talking about the inside arrow insert or the broadhead adapter? my aluminum inserts are one inch all the way inside the collar of shaft and enveloped by carbon shaft and 1018 aluminum. Nothing ever happens to them. I’ve shot arrows into rocks and trees, and yes, I had steel adapters bent at 90%, along with points or broadheads, but the inserts just stay… inserted… inside the shaft. Nothing happens to the insert unless a shaft explodes at impact. 🙂

TomBow,

I use 400’s with 50gr brass inserts, 175gr brown bear, and 43gr aluminum adapters,

Once I lose or break my last 400, I will get 340’s with regular ( lighter) aluminum inserts, and 100gr steel adapters, still with the Brown Bear head.

Sometimes, this carbon arrow number game gets to be annoying, so I pull out my Hex shafts from Whispering wind that are great and fly like my MFX

Happy New Year to you!!

Alex

I glue a 1″ piece of 2018 aluminum shaft around the front of all my MFX arrows, and it’s really working for me with the Abowyer Brown Bear heads:

I never cared for his hunting style much, especially hail mary 40 yard shots at moving Elk! But I admired his constant championing of access to public land for people like us, out West on National Forest Land landlocked by surrounding private property, and in NY, where he showed that landlocked beaches are public places accessible by boat. I really liked that!
