in reply to: Public, Private or both? #8250
Almost exclusively on private.
in reply to: Target Panic #8249Thanks everyone. Another interesting aspect is when I’m experimenting and/or just after changing gear I don’t experience it. I’m sure it’s because my focus then lies elsewhere. BUT, as soon as I get everything squared away…WHAMO! 👿
I’m DEFINITELY going to get that book.
in reply to: How much bow and arrow for hogs? #64053I most certainly understand, but COMPLETELY disagree with you. A 22LR will NOT perform as well as ANY high powered centerfire rifle at 150 yards UNLESS your goal is to merely prevent pelt/skull damage for mounting…ESPECIALLY on a head shot.
500 Nitro’s, and the like, are not used only on “Mac truck” sized animals because of their inaccuracy, it’s because they pound the [beeeeep] out of ya!
You’re missing the point again and going off on ANOTHER tangent with the sniper thing. MY POINT: snipers use larger calibers than standard infantry in Vietnam (and forward). You brought up the scenario, and it proves the point. There is a distinct reason for using a larger caliber.
Scopes don’t make a rifle more accurate. They help the rifleman shoot more accurately.
I’d love to get into this discussion more, but tendinitis won’t allow.
You crack me up StandingBear!

in reply to: How much bow and arrow for hogs? #63942Greatreearcher wrote: I agreed with alot of what you have said, but I have to say that your statement here is false. I can say that a 22 can outperform a 500 nitro. If I am not mistaken I have never seen a 500 nitro with a scope, probably because it is a beast and the kick on that mother is unbearable. But if that is the case then the effective range is limited dramatically compared to a rifle with a scope.
In vietnam a study was done saying that it took 10000 rounds from a marines M-16 to kill one vietcong, and an average of 1.25 bullets from a snipers rifle!
:shock:GTA, you are WAY wrong here buddy! A 22LR cannot “outperform” (whatever that means) a large caliber centerfire rifle. YOU may be able to shoot a deer in the brain and kill it with a 22, but that doesn’t prove a thing. Other than your ability to handle a 22 vs a large, heavy recoil gun. Your sniper analogy proves this point as well. Snipers generally use a 308 Winchester or a 50 BMG. Infantrymen use a 223 Remington. I’m using the civilian designationS, since those are the designations used for hunting rifles, etc. You are comparing other variables and not THE one and only variable that is meant to be part of this discussion all the way back to the begining: Taking the discussion back to where it was intended: Kingwouldbe is saying use as much as you can handle AS OPPOSED TO as little as you can get away with. Very simple and makes complete sense

in reply to: For those of you that hunt with wood arrows #60580OK, you guys have me on the verge of trying woods :shock::). If I buy, say, 100 shafts, how many should I expect to be usable, provided I don’t screw them up? 😆
Edit: Oh, and would you recommend feathers or vanes? :lol::lol::lol:

in reply to: Hunting camp set-ups #59349SB (and any others with experience),
Sorry for possibly taking this on a tangent, but other than nostalgia, what do you like about the teepee? I’m asking out of complete ignorance.in reply to: How long should I just sit there? #59201If I’m not seeing anything (acutally, even if I am) I will scout during the day, when time permits and if I find something better, with fresh sign, I’m outa there!
Oops, yeah I should have included that as well.
I want something for up to a week. I would like to be able to use it as a daypack if possible.
Packing meat, hmmm…well deer would be the practical answer, but part of me wants something that would handle up to elk for the hunt(s) that I will do…someday. Probably should just get something large enough for deer. Then, if/when I need one for elk, get a larger pack (or no?).
in reply to: How much bow and arrow for hogs? #59029When I first sought out advise on the poundage I should shoot when I switched to traditional archery. EVERYONE I talked to told me all I need is 45#, and that’s what they recommend I shoot. Prior to that I had a lot of experience with compounds, but zero with traditional, so I took their advise. If I would have been in the know at the time I purchased my bow, I would have bought a bow with a 60# draw at my draw length. Not because what I’m shooting won’t work. It’s just that I can handle 60#’s and would rather have the extra horse power. Simply because I can, and there are advantages to heavier poundage. I think so many people need others to follow their lead in order to justify what they use due to an inferiority complex.

lol! None of the above. I’m just thinking ahead. Actually, I’m going to be giving my current longbow to my son. The poundage will work perfectly for him by the time I get the new bow. 😉
Oh, and I NEED a new backpack 😀
in reply to: The Line In The Sand: Traditional Equipment #58985snuffornot wrote: I’m trying not to be a Traditional snob Okay?
Sorry if I came across as brash. I didn’t mean to. Just my lack of skill conveying my thoughts via writing shining through. I’m positive noone would think that of you. I certainly wouldn’t. Well, unless you said “I use xyz, and those who do not are lesser beings than I.”
I’ve never heard anyone call a compound a “stick and string”, and I worked at an archery/gun shop for 9 years. That is pretty ridiculous…and funny.

Have you shot them at 20 yards in any breeze? Got piktures? Sounds like sorta a Gillontine for lopping off turkey heads. But for deer? But maybe you’re shoot a hundred pounds! Please post piks, bb
A friend of mine shoots them with 2-5″ feathers on his arrows and gets great arrow flight. He’s had great success with them on deer. I think he shoots 55# with a 26″ draw length.
