do any of you reload for 44mag I do and have for quite a few years but have always used jacketed bullets and have shot the 270 grn gold dot out of my tc encore for quite a while now, this year I shot a doe at 30yds and I hit her a just a little farther back than I should have, my fault kinda rushed ...

it seems that most like the carbon type arrow and I as well shot them for a couple seasons but have had some break and have seen pics of other carbons that had splintered in the animal so with that being a possibility I switched back to aluminum 2216's for health reasons..... mine not the deers. I d...

bstout you are right as the magnification goes up field of view goes down with 4x at 20-30yds it is hard to pick a spot on a deer all you see is hair at those close ranges and for my 44 I don't want a variable I think a fixed 2x or 2.5 would do very well

I have taken 1 deer and 1 wild boar with the 270gr gold dots and I load them myself and my encore 44 barrel has a leupold fixed 4 pwr scope on it but at close ranges 20-30yds its just a little much so I am thinking of going to a 2pwr. Now don't get me wrong the gold dots perform good, and I have use...

do any of you handgun hunt? I have a tc encore with several barrels and I do deer hunt with it in 44mag. what kind of ammo do you use for deer hunting in your handgun? I have been loading 270grn gold dots for several years but I am thinking of loading up something in the 300gr hard cast variety for ...

so does that mean the day you box it up and take it back?

Us yanks here in the U.S. don't have this holiday so just what is boxing day?

I love to rabbit hunt and they are quite tasty although I use my trusty browning 20 guage stuffed with some #6 shot

I too would like to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving and would encourage all to take some time today to think about all the things we each have to be thankfull for

hunting with crossbows since 1990

well mike I gave it a shot this morning till about 1030 and the rain started to get a little heavy, but I did see about 15 turkeys but I havent bought a fall turkey tag. I live up in richland county and I usually start seeing things get going around the 28th up here. good luck to all.

that was some good info limbs and bolts. I have been looking at bh209 for a while I think I will be giving it a try this year

just to let everyone know if you shoot broadheads from new archery products, such as spitfires, if you log on to their web site you can print off a 10 dollar rebate form, just thought I would pass this along broadheads are expensive and its nice to save a few bucks

I could be wrong but if I were to string my exocet it would only be getting the 200lb force on the string only if the bow is cocked and I don't want to leave it cocked for long periods of time and at this point I am just trying to get some pre season stuff ready and right now I just don't have a lot...

For those of you that remember my last attempt at pre stretching a string, it didn't go so well. ha ha ha but after another attempt with another string I have found that as long as I make the weights immobile all is well so after hanging 90lbs for 3 days I got one half inch of stretch on my string. ...
