Well, I’m back a day early! We didn’t see one whitetail in 3 days. We froze our butt off in the mountains! waking up in a small tent in 17 degrees weather before light and no fire was…. challenging :shock:! We later moved East in the Lower farm land WMA’s. a little warmer, but It seemed like the whole state of virginia was filled with guys riding around with dogs and muzzleloaders in the back of their pickup, chasing deer, bears, coons and rabbits. I heard hunting dogs barking 24 hours for 3 days, everywhere we went! I even saw a truck decal with a dog chasing a deer!!! Gorgeous rolling hills farm country though, with lots of History. Good times camping out with a good friend, eating the some back straps from my NY deer, so all was not all lost, but if I ever hunt in VA again, it would have to be in archery only/ no dogs allowed private land.

PS: when I bought a 3 day license + archery permit at Dick’s

I wasn’t asked to show my hunter’s ed and bowhunter’s ed card, just driving license. I was surprised.

Roger Norris wrote: [quote=bullseye]OK Guys, I understand that the position of the broadhead on the shaft is important, especially if it is a 2 blade. The blades need to be in a vertical plane to your bow handle. Up and down as you look down the arrow. Not side to side (or flat). I was told to do this for 2 reasons. 1. So you can feel the back edge touching your bow grip fingers and not over draw 2. The angle of the broadhead blade (at the bow) will match how it strikes the target as it hits. Now, I was told this a long time ago and have stayed with this form of mounting and shooting my hunting arrows. In my few tests on targets I have found it to be true. YMMV, and I may have been told wrong? But, thru the years it has worked for me and it does make it harder to mount my broadheads as I don’t settle for any wobble. What’s your thoughts??? Bullseye

It makes absolutely no difference how your broadheads are aligned, as long as they are straight.

I just mounted some steel inserts into Tuffheads last night. I use hot melt, and was able to get perfect spin without much trouble. Perfect spin, no wobble, is key.

No it doesn’t make a difference. I mount mine at a 10 o’clock 4 o’clock angle. Just because I like them flat when I cant my bow ( LH)

Yes the jacket is great!! It’s a Pendleton I stumbled onto while surfing Ebay a little over 2 weeks ago, and I just had to have it! my other hunting Pendleton jacket and 3 plaid shirts are from also from ebay, and cost me between 20 and $40. I went all out and spent the big bucks on this one, $90 !!

David Petersen wrote: Roger — This is a different looking bow from Gregg’s usual. That’s to say it has neither the extremely streamlined handle-forward look of his Shrews, nor the Mongol horsebow look of most Java Man bows. Looks like a good solid shooter. How many of Gregg’s bows do you have now? Hundreds of just dozens? 😛 I’ve owned four Shrews, loved each one, but down to one at the moment. But happily, I have another on order from his forthcoming greatly expanded Java Man line. IMHO he should be building bows only for his own line, not someone else’s. Just too darn special a bowyer not to be putting all his talent into his own line. Since Gregg will have a booth at K-zoo, I’m saving my pennies and counting frequent flier miles to try and be there in January. I am dubbing Gregg’s growing fan base the Coffey Club. You and I are charter members. 😀

Yes, Gregg is da’ man!!!

That’s waaay too much compliment, Dave! Sorry I haven’t been on tradbow this year as much as in past year, but you know that my mind was not too much into Bowhunting…. But Now I am !!!!

I’m so bushed after today’s hunt. Tomorrow, I will try my best to concoct 1/2 a decent story for you!! Thanks, man, I couldn’t have done it without you..

Nice Elk!
As far as I’m concerned, it was a great hunt, even if the Elk played hard to kill…hear… see!
I might have paid back some bad karma from last deer season, where I shot 2 bucks by mistake. I had the tags but only wanted one:(

Don’t give up man!! Its not hard! Once you understand the concept of fishtailing&porpoising, you’ll be just fine! And make sure you read Troy’s advice CAREFULLY, for he is the Truth!
Good luck

in reply to: Eagle's Flight Quivers #44577

I just went to their site. You guys are right, they revamped the straps. I bought mine 5-6 years ago and it didn’t have any buckle. Just a velcro flap on bow backside that you had to pull to the belly side.
Cool! Thanks Hammer and Scout

Smithhammer wrote: Hmm, maybe they’ve changed the straps/rubber. Mine feels as secure as a bolt-on and doesn’t move at all (maybe even more so since the bolts were always loosening).

If you say so, I shall try again then, because they are cool quivers!!!

[Alexandre Bugnon]

in reply to: Eagle's Flight Quivers #44486

I had one. I really liked everything about it except the straps. The non-sticky rubber was not gripping the limbs tightly enough and the quiver always slid down the limbs, to the point that I had to duct tape the thing to my bow.
