in reply to: taking off nocks #58248
When I used aluminum arrows I would heat the nocks with a lighter then grab them with pliars. USUALLY it would break the bond between shaft and nock and they’d pop right off. I don’t think you’d have a problem doing the same with wood arrows as you don’t have to get them very hot. Then again…I’ve NEVER done that with wood arrows, so maybe it’s not such a good idea. 😆

It is that diverse spread of knowlwdge that bonds us and makes us strong. Your Tradition is yours but you can share it. I can’t condemn someone for using an aluminum riser as long as there are no wheels attached!
DuncanNOT TRUE! it’s very, very easy! The question is simply where YOU draw the line. No strings attached, no disclaimers, that’s it, nothing more. Not where you think it SHOULD be, or what you think should be imposed on others.

One man might go back 20 years, another 50 years and yet another might go way back to just wood and stone.
Don’t let someone else tell you what you must shoot.
I’m not asking to help me define it. It’s just pure curiousity and conversation. Nothing more to it than that. 😉
Oh, and that is a SWEET photo!

in reply to: Target Panic #58015Hiram wrote: Hey Patrick do not believe for minute that this is an insurmountable problem.I would approach this thing with a positive attitude towards a good outcome. I shoot pretty good without a clicker and have used the bale and the confidence exercises I mentioned. I would just not “FIGHT IT” as some have mentioned. Relax and enjoy your recovery exercises and you will come back in time as a better shooter than before. Do not join the Pessimistic attitudes, be positive and enjoy you shooting.:D:D
Thanks Hiram. Serious.

It took 10 days to get to you. The countdown begins:
9 days, 18 hours, 15 minutes, 10 seconds….:lol: (It’s like Christmas in November).EDIT: 6 days 😉
EDIT: 4 days 🙂
EDIT: 2 days 😀
EDIT: I can’t wait to check the mail when I get out of work!!!
EDIT: Pretty unbelievable, but it arrived in EXACTLY 10 days, but I wasn’t home to sign for it so I picked it up this morning. SB, you truly did an awesome job. Plus, I’ve NEVER felt a knife as sharp as this one is now. I am NOT exagerating.in reply to: Target Panic #56972JEVANS wrote: It hurts me to say it, but stop shooting for a few days. That has always helped me.
Someone once told me that it takes 21 days to create or break a habit. Maybe keep that in mind when putting these remedies into practice.
:shock::(Unfortunately, I think you’re right. ESPECIALLY unfortunate this time of year!! I’m still hunting though, I just won’t shoot as far.
I definitely need to follow Hiram’s suggestion of acquiring aim on the target, doing the figure eight, then letting down. I know I need to incorporate that into my everyday practice to help keep TP at bay.
I was reluctant to post about my target panic because I was afraid I wasn’t going to convey it properly and cause more frustration by trying to explain what amounts to a feeling. Not one of my strong suits. ESPECIALLY if noone undestood because noone else experienced it. It’s good to know I’m not the only one who suffers or has suffered from it (misery loves company :lol:). Makes it less likely that I’ll follow option #2 (throwing in the towel, and taking up drinking as a hobby).
From the posts I’ve read it does appear that there are different ways it affects people and/or rears its ugly head. TP for me is very much THE problem. It’s not a form issue or anything like that, that then becomes TP. In fact, if form issues occur, it’s usually BECAUSE of the dreaded TP. If it weren’t for TP, I’d be a world class shooter :lol:. Before you think I have a big head, I should also say that if I had wings, I could fly too! 😉

THAT is an awesome bow on so many levels.

No joke.
If you don’t know if you have it, you don’t. Mine isn’t caused by another issue, it IS the issue. It seriously has caused me to want to just throw in the towel at times and take up drinking as a hobby .
in reply to: Target Panic #56302Thanks guys. Hiram, I think you nailed I’m trying it tonight. I’ve tried the other suggestions, and they don’t seem to work for me.
snuffornot wrote: Well said Steve. I find my struggle with this is worse when I put off shooting or don’t shoot regularly.
I’m the opposite. It’s when I shoot alot that it gets worse for me.
in reply to: Not a trad kill but….. #56161johnny2 wrote: What really makes me proud about the second photo is that it was not posed. She didn’t even know I took that picture till afterward. She was just looking at the does ears, fur, etc. and I took several pictures of it.
I’ve gotta say, when I first saw that second photo, I thought it was WAY over-the-top. BUT, now knowing it wasn’t posed COMPLETELY changes that in my eyes, and makes it a GREAT photo. Regardless though, congrats to both of you.
And like the Greatreearcher said in so many words, it’s nice to FINALLY see the face of my adversary. :lol::lol: (I know…I joke too much.)
in reply to: Gun Season with a Bow? #56107SteveMcD wrote: Anyone else Bow Only? 8)
Yep!
2 years ago, i intended to but my son wanted to hunt with me, and wanted me to use my rifle…so I relented, and used a rifle a couple times. Last year I hunted the entire deer season with only my longbow. I probably will not deer hunt with a gun again.

LOL! I was going to ask how you keep the smoke from lingering in those things.
