in reply to: Back stops #28592
Has anyone tried Ames Pillow Targets. They are easy to fill with Plastic bags or construction plastic and they have the targets on both sides. They do stop arrows and are easy to hang. Cheap and long lasting. When the center gets worn out I add another piece of burlap to that section and so it on my hand, Cheap way to stretch its life cycle and save money!
in reply to: Man Eaters of Kumaon #36334I understand that although Jim was a professional hunter that he was known as the Father of Conservation in India because he would not shoot the tiger unless he confirmed that it was a man eater. His stories are so simple and courageous. He must have had no fear at all in him. His descriptions of hunting and tracking are right on the money! You could tell that he was the real deal.
in reply to: Brace Height for a NMorrison 58" Long Bow? #32142Thanks. I tried the web site. Maybe I will call him. Thanks for your suggestion!

in reply to: Where Would You Live? #23362[
I left New York in 2005 and moved to MIchigan near the City of Detroit. I miss the hunting opportunities in New York. I do not miss the high cost of living in NY but Michigan is not much better. I do like the flatness of the land in Michigan compared to the mountains and hills in New York. I think that what I miss most is living within 8 miles of my hunting grounds as opposed to 65 miles away here in MIchigan.

I’m a native New Yorker. 8) And we have it all. Three mountain ranges, flatland plains, superb trout and salmon rivers, beautiful mountain lakes, the great lakes and the Ocean. I have no plans to leave. 🙂
Having lived and hunted in New York for 60 years or more, I agree that hunting and fishing is great. I used to hunt Stewart Airport State Wildlife area and the hunting was great. Lots of deer and other game. NY also has fantastic fishing and small game hunting especially for Turkeys.
I live in Michigan now and it seems that hunting and fishing areas are so far away. Especially with the high gas prices. Unfortunately, when I lived in NY, it seems like their were only a few traditional bowhunters. Here in Michigan, there are lots of traditional bow shooters and traditional leagues to shoot in during the winter weather.
in reply to: Quick question on Vapor Carbonwood arrows? #41017I keep my vapor carbon wood 3000 full length and use 175 grain field points and they fly great out of my longbows. I was looking for more of them and I could not find them. I did not realize that they were no longer being made. These are great shafts maybe a swap meet or a garage sale would be a place to look for them. Perhaps the swap meet at Denton Hill?
in reply to: Cheap targets #40993Another homemade target that is great to shoot at is a burlap bag stuffed with plastic. Draw a target on the front of it and when the arrows begin to penetrate through the bag. Take it down and step on it to move the plastic around. It works and lasts a long time. Burlap bags can sometimes be obtained from feed stores or from farmers markets(usually in 50 lb. bags of potatoes}.
in reply to: Interesting Waste of Time #7844I actually went to the Cabelas in Dundee, Michigan and since they revamped the store, I visited the archery section again. I found almost nothing for the Traditional Shooter. I don’t even look at their catalog anymore. If they are not interested in Traditional archery, then I don’t need them. Just my two cents on the matter. I would rather deal with the advertisers that are listed in Traditional Bowhunter Magazine.
in reply to: One piece or Takedown whats your favorite? #19435I have both types of longbows and the Take Down is outstanding for travel. However, my go to bows are all one piece. I like to feel the string bending the entire bow rather than just the limbs. You can never have too many bows.
