no but one could if if they wanted to the life of the target would be much shorter

we just use target points i found that the sharper pointed ones do less damage then the rounded bullet style points

Caribou is waiting for its skin… then the Moose it will be 72H 8ft long with 40in removable legs

thanks guys

getting the shape right is harder then it seems

at 20+ yards the carpet looks more like hair

the next ones will look alot better

also my buddy shoots a 70lb compound and they stop his arrows just fine

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets

angry, he’ll be a mile away-and barefoot.

I will always go with powder burns over pepper burns on a bear sorry not going to trust my life on a can of Seasoning

but in the 18+ years i have been up here i have had way more close calls with cow moose then i have a had with bears

bears do respond better to warning shots then cow moose and with that said you dont always have to shoot the bear it self you can warn it first with the 1st shot.

I am not really afraid of any of the beasts that roam this land Wolves I couldnt care less about as for the bears I carry because I like to hunt alone and if I find a Boar I will try and make a stalk on him at that point I need to be My own backup gun

and if I am packing out meat 150-250lb of fresh meat on your back makes You a walking free meal

adjust your brace height that will change the size of your groups most strings stretch so you have to check it from time to time

have you ever done any bare shaft tuning?

when i got back into shooting after more then 8 years off i didnt know anything about tuning i was always told theres no tuning a stickbow if you miss its you not the bow

but this time around i looked in to it more and started tuning my bow and then i looked into how to bare shaft tune my arrows and my groups got tighter then ever

just my 2 cents

hogup wrote: Great post Steve. I too have been eyeing the Black Widow line and frankly, I just don’t like the way the bows look. I know that’s silly but to me it’s a break point and will stick with Bear.

Thats not silly

A Bow is as much a work of art as it is a deadly weapon the act of shooting a traditional bow is an art in its self

the look of a bow is the main deal breaker for me i love the look of all my bows even thier Scars

Yea and wouldnt have tasted as good as the first

Your story is has a underlining message it is true that some folks think that bows are toys

When I was about 15 years old I got shot in the hip by a 6 year old kid who was playing around with a little 15 lb bow while I was pulling my arrows the kid pulled back about 1/2 draw and let it fly from only a few yards a way it didnt get in the meat thanks to my jeans and the fact that it was a rounded point but it hurt like hell and did bleed a little

I told his dad about it and He still let him shoot alone outside in his own yard but still without any Adult Supervision

I got my niece and nephew into shooting bows and made them respect them the same as they would a gun and they both are very safe when shooting but that is also because i am always shooting with them they never shoot alone

We hunt for meat right? the 2nd kill would have had more meat than the first 😆

in reply to: Meat in the Freezer #10489

I am with you man i love the taste of wild game because thats the true flavor

Alot of folks say caribou taste like crap i like the flavor My favorite is the heart

also enjoy cutting all the meat myself that way the hunt comes full circle

i like the heart tongue but not the liver
