In washington state crossbow allowed during archery season for disabled hunters.Must have doctor sign off that you can not shoot a compound or trad bow. No scopes must be iron sight.
Check out three rivers archery they have trial packs of arrows and tips that you can order .Whats nice is you get diff weight tips so you can try diff weight tip and arrow combos find what works then order that.
For saltwater head to westport out on the coast they run a lot of charters out of there.For the rivers I got a few buddies that fish the rivers I will see what I can set up for you for one of them to take you out for a day or two of fishing if you want.Feel free to im me anytime and I wll see what I can set up for you .That is if you want .
Blues is alittle south and east of yakima.As for the salmon want to fish salt water or the rivers.Its the year of the pinks means there will be some good fishing going down.
And so the search goes on .I want to thank you all for your help.Just wish i had a good trad shop in my area that would make it easier to try out some differant makes.
So Mr. Petersen would it be save to say if I am in that draw weight with a arrow in the 650 gr range and high foc . I would be good to go on elk with my compound never had a problem with penatration on game .I am wanting to make sure that I do all that I can to make clean kills with my trad gear .
I like shooting with a glove because never drop or lose while out roving the hills .But found finding a glove that fits good is hard for me . So i shoot with a tab and keep a extra in the pack .
Up here in the Pacific Northwest usually start shed hunting in late febuary to march depending on snow levels .Last year found a nice 6 point elk shed that I am going to use as handle matirial on some knives I am making.
a few years back shot a deer hit a little far back so gave a little extra time before tracking it .By the time I found it a big tom had already claimed it for his .Thought about shooting it in the end just left him to his lunch .Funny how something like that can be come one of your better hunting memiories.
being a fellow compound to trad shooter i went through a lot of frustration and was ready to give up for the same reason but a freind had me try something all i can say is it worked for me first pick a spot what i did was go to your local store and buy a bag of water ballons blow them up tp about five inches pin on your target then i started at five yards and shot for a whole week week after move back a couple yards and have fun it took a while but i now have confidence that i can make it in the zone out to around 20 yards but the big thing if you start getting frusstarted step a way for a few mins
being that I live in the wet pacific northwest try going to your local fishing takle retailer and get the spray for dry flies it works good easy to apply and being it is a small bottle fits easy in a pocket
