      in reply to: Gap shooters #59691

      What is “Gapping” the Bow?

      I generally shoot “point on” and “gap” for longer distances.
      For arguments sake though, I’d say I shoot like Howard Hill’s style of split vision. I see the arrow in my perhpipheral vision but focus on the spot. I shoot split finger and anchor on the upper lip.

          Scottish Venison Steak Fry…. simple, quick and can be done with just about any preserve to your liking & taste.

          In a small sauce pan add a cup of Strawberry preserves to melting butter and heat to a zimmer. In a separate frying pan fry venison steak to liking, place on plate and add strawberry sauce.

              Venison Sauerbraten (The German New Year Good Luck Dinner).

              3-4 pound roast

              1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger mix and rub over roast. 2 & 1/2 cups of water, 2 cups of cider vinegar, 2 medium onions sliced, 1/3 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of pickling spice 8 cloves and 1 teaspoon of whole peppercorns, (some recipes call for a couple of bay leaves, I never use them myself), Bring to a boil in a pot let cool and then pour over roast in sauce pan, cover and refrigerate for 48 hours. Turn roast over 2x a day during this time.

              Remove roast and pat dry in a roasting pan Brown roast on all sides first. Strain marinade and reserve half of the seasonings and one cup of marinade to pour over roast. Save strained marinade you will need it for gravy later.

              Cover and reduce heat for 3 hours or until meat is tender.
              Strain cooking liquid andadd reserved marinade to equal 3 cups of liquid place in a saucepan and add 14 crushed gingersnap cookies for gravy, bring to a boil.

              Enjoy!

              P.S. Potato Pancakes & Red Cabbage to make the meal complete! And a Good Winter Boch Beer. I prefer a good Cabernet Savoungon – like the kind I get from Lemon Creek Wineries during the Compton Rendezvous in Berrien Springs.

                      Thanks DD… one comment on spine and I’ll let it go. Yes, you’ve confirmed what I’ve heard previously, if you buy in gross, even as advertised for a given spine, you’re lucky if you can get a dozen matched shafts out of 100. BUT, not having or wanting a spine tester, if I am paying a premium for a given spine and matched weights, I may be gullible, but it is fair to expect to get what I pay for. Given that, sure I’ve found a flyer or two. There’s usually at least one in every dozen. Thanks!

                        DD.. first of all thank you for doing this. I would love to see what it is that other arrow makers do differently and perhaps better than myself. Question.. have you noticed any difference between buying shafts in bulk say by the 100, versus buying a “matched set” of 12 shafts. I would assume the set of 12 shafts are going to match closely in weight and spine, because you are paying more for them. What is your opinion? and experience with this?

                        Thanks,
                        Steve

                          Me too Clay. The USGS pricing on the website is about the same, depending on the type of map you’re looking for. Which is good. But, I’m the same way, before I go into an area, I study maps intimately. Happy Trails!

                            That was sweet, George! Reminded me of Waylon Jennings.

                              Ah, answered my own question – I found the source for “Official” paper maps and ordering in case anyone else is interested.

                              http://topomaps.usgs.gov/ordering_maps.html

                              P.S. I love digging through maps during the “off-season”. great way to plan pre-season scouting.

                              ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – I found that on the USGS Website the State / COunty Map Locator is somewhat limited. But, if you use the “Map Locator” function and follow the directions, it pretty easy & quick. Once you establish an account, ordering is very simple.

                                Well, I was already told.. very condescendingly that I was unworthy to make such comments. So.. I think this is Goodbye. I’ll keep my opinions and such to myself from now on.

                                  If you videod your hunts would anything ever happen that someone could say man you shouldn’t be bow hunting?

                                  All do respect.. I resent those remarks. Quite frankly, I’ve been at this for over 40 years. I don’t need to be preached to about “stuff happens”. As I have said in the past, I have taken a shot or two that I have regretted, but I have never regretted, not taking a shot!. This show and his actions were out right wrong. And it is not just the shot, it’s his actions and total lack of compassion and respect.
