in reply to: Got some work to do….. #34575
“Arrows that hit all around the spot” I think its my taper tool not centering the tapers on my shafts…..:lol:
“How far yah shootin'” 15 and 20 yards, about my skill limit. If I was in good shape with my practice I might go 25 yards.
Went out with 2 arrows at first light. Drilled the spot with the first 2 shots.

in reply to: Snaked my bow #33754I love the snakes with the wood in that riser. That is a beauty!
in reply to: My ugly bow #33751I like it, is it a take down?
in reply to: glove with cardovan? #33731I shot a Damascus until it wore out. I bought 2 gloves from 3 Rivers, the cordovan glove you mentioned and the one with the Denier over the fingers. The codovan glove was too stiff for me but the slickness of the Denier glove was amazing and it is a bit thicker than the Damascus. I also like the Neet finger tabs.
in reply to: Where do you get your tradional supplies from #336623 Rivers Archery has good customer service. Bass Pro has a few traditional items. There are others you can find with a google search.
in reply to: Eastern North Carolina? #33626Although my family has some coastal property near Jacksonville I’ve never hunted the area. As for bow only clubs, my guess is that since the area is a heavy gun hunter area there may not be any. Check the NCBA website for members in your area. You might be able to hook up with other archers in the area. As far as hunt opportunities, there are tons of public lands. I can vouch for Holly Shelter and Croatan National Forest. Both are vast pocosin forests and tree farms cris-crossed with logging roads. There are designated camping areas in both forests. In archery and muzzle loader season it was like hunting nirvana to us. Once gun season starts the dog hunters come out but you can probably still find a place where they are not. During Archery season and ML it is a good idea to wear snake leggings, there are some considerable “buzz-worms” in the area. Good Luck!
in reply to: Surprise Tree stand dangers! #33604An Eco-friendly way to kill wasps, yellow jackets and spiders is to use boiling water. For wasp and yellow jackets wait until dark and pour the boiling water into/onto the nest. For spiders like the black widow that might have a nest with a trillion little ones, the boiling water will cook them all without disturbing the nest. Of course this only works if you have the time and means to boil a pot of water. And be careful with the boiling water as it could end up burning you.
in reply to: A visit to the Great Lakes Longbow Invitational #33584Great pics! Looks like you guys had great time out shooting.

in reply to: Saying Howdy #33556Hello, and welcome!
in reply to: Surprise Tree stand dangers! #31566White faced hornets often build nests at eye level. Years ago I hunted a cypess swamp, picking my way in in the dark. On our way back we noticed a large hornet nest along the path we had taken. Luckily neither of us ran into it as we stumbled through the cypress knees in the dark.
Another treestand tip involving critters. Keep a close eye on birds of prey, especially if you are wearing a camo headnet. I’ve had Acipiter sized hawks like the Cooper’s nearly take my net off my head. They spotted my slight head movement and thought it was prey. I raised my arm on one that came so close its wing brushed my sleeve. Yikes. But what a thrill to see these magnificent birds so close.
in reply to: Stalk in these? #31558A pair of vintage all black Converse Wrestling shoes would work as well in the early season. Cheaper too, if you can find them. Otherwise, there are some sneaker type stalking shoes availabe from the mail order catalogues. I just use LLBean hunting shoes. They are more versatile from one season to another.
in reply to: Bear S/S Super RazorHeads…thoughts??? #30532The SS with the blue ferrule heads are harder to sharpen but once sharp, they do hold an edge. I have about a dozen that I use some of the time. They also hold a coat of paint well. I painted mine OD green years ago and the paint has stayed intact.
in reply to: Arrows Lost Per Year #30482I might lose 6-8 per year. I gets harder to find them once the leaves start falling.
in reply to: whats everyone favorite BOW ? #29309Umm, I can’t decide. See list below….
