The only problem that I have with them is with practicing with them. They seem to wear the end of the arrow where the nock attaches. What I like about them is that they are very bright but they do add weight to the back of the arrow which sometimes must be countered by more weight forward.

Was sighted to 50 yards with only 7 shots. It was shooting 3 inches to the right at 20 yards. The first 2 shots(checking starting point) cut the same hole. Adjusted scope 3 inches to left, shot twice, again cutting same hole only this time in the bullseye. Shot once with field tip at 20 and with a ...

did the media ever ask a man running for president if he could handle running the country and also tend to his family??? This left wing media is really over the top. There is such a lack of common sense among them. They aren't interested in reporting facts.....they are interested in distorting fact ...

. They may feel safer in a group and a strange noise will not bother them as much. Scott While the deer might feel safer in a group it sure makes me shaky knowing that any of those deer might spot my movement while I am concentrating on just one of them. During a hunt where I was in a tree stand sp...

Thanks Sumner.......very good input along with your field testing shooting a stump next to a doe. This has been a very good thread which started out with Kelly asking about distance shooting while hunting. I had previously asked about the affect of arrow drop shooting out of high treestands which of...

One million teenagers get pregnant every year and over a third of those terminate the pregnancy. This young lady made a mistake and is willing to take responsibility by having the child and marrying the father. This isn't 1950 when a pregnant girl was disgraced forever and the child forever consider...

[quote="sumner4991 dougedwards . . .the answer is yes. Wind, rain, and other natural sounds help a lot. For those of us that hunt in suburban areas, construction work is great for covering up a hunter's movements/sounds. I hunt an area close to a construction site and a school. In the a.m., the...

OK.....I won't be able to witness your responses today as I am off to hunt doves as it is opening day of dove season here in Va. I will be using a super duper Franchi Variomax 12 gauge gas powered automatic shotgun but I still promise not to take excessivly long shots lest I might wound a bird and n...

sorry about the diversion. Let's stick to the original subject which originally arose from a question that I asked in another thread. Here is another question. Do you think that the sound of rustling leaves, falling acorns, mooing cows, squirrels playing in the leaves, and other natural sounds might...

However I am currently having a custom made muzzleloader assembled in .375 caliber which should shoot close to 3000 fps without a sabot. Here in Virginia it is illegal to hunt with any less than 45 cal during muzzleloading season but that doesn't stop me from hunting with a .375 during regular fire...

Doug, if ya used black or a sub in your guns I would not have an issue but your guns as it stands with smokeless powder are not muzzle loaders as intended by those who set up primitive seasons for loading seasons. Hey I am not for banning any guns but in this case it is the powder I have an issue w...

Doug, we are all entitled to use the equipment of our choice within the hunting regulations but I would have to disagree with you that public demand brought modern muzzleloaders into the hunting mainstream. It would be more accurate to say that the lobbyists for the manufacturers are the real reaso...

Doug your not going to agree with me because you love your Savage rifle but Your gun is no more the average muzzle loader than a Patriot Missle. No you are wrong. We totally agree on this point. To me this is totally getting away from what a muzzle loader season is or was intended and I am not the ...

I don't see where the subs are anymore powerfull than Holy Black I have shot 777 and Pyrodex and Clear shot and Clean shot before. then go farther if your going to shoot farther. quote] The days of shooting the powders you mention are over for me. One of the loads that I shoot is 75 grains of Allia...

What I have not said on this forum and will do so now I cringe when I hear folks talking ultra long range with muzzle loaders too as their rainbow trajectory does not bode well for long range shooting and while some of the so called experts can shoot that far and do the average guy who sights in hi...
