That's no fun at all! You know the Charger is ambidextrous. Just putting it out there Keith buddy! :wave:
That's right! I was wondering if I could switch it around somehow....forgot about this feature. Nice. That'll do quite well.

OT-Broke my Arm...Trad bow season gonna be off to a slow start

I wish I had a better story but.....I was hanging curtain rods for my wife and well dang it...the ladder is ALL the way in the garage. And these handy bar stools are right here. Was standing on one hanging the last rod until I wasn't. Broke my right arm down by the wrist. Thankfully it's not displac...

If you have a hummingbird season in your area, and that is going to be your target species, go for the flatest trajectory. Go for speed.
Hahaha! Classic line right there!! :clap:

Re: Shooting the VPA 3 Blade fixed???

The VPAs and he tuffheads are pretty similar. The 300gr 3 blades i bought have that pyramid point. But i was talking about the 2 blade single bevels VPA does the tip a bit differently

Re: Well i bit the preverbal bullet

Congrats on the 440! That's a BEAST! My thinking is not to waste energy trying to quiet down a crossbow. IMO you just go from SUPER loud to REALLY loud, so what's the point. Unless that loudness affects your ability to shoot accurately. The sound certainly does not bother the animals. Adding weight ...

Re: Shooting the VPA 3 Blade fixed???

I tried a few different "large" heads last year and a few hung past the stirrup on my current arrows. Not a fan. I'm always setting my bow down on the stirrup and you can't do that with that long point on. A point about total arrow length.....it can affect accuracy. Might not but could. Th...

Re: Shooting the VPA 3 Blade fixed???

Building or having arrows built with shaft inserts, ***Thank You Norman!!**, seems the logical choice. However, I understand a lot of folks are NOT going to spend upwards of $100 bucks or more for 6 arrows. :shock: I do think Dave at Wyvern's is buidling 500g Excal arrows these days for somewhere i...

Re: Shooting the VPA 3 Blade fixed???

Keith, do you remember when SEW used to post on here? Some of his experiments were how to get arrow to shoot flatter with same weight. I thought that he claimed that lower FOC would shoot flatter, but he also played with different fletching applied w less offset etc. , so it may have been less drag...

Re: Shooting the VPA 3 Blade fixed???

Hey AJ, I'm 100% with you. Adult arrows are the way to go. Last year I hit a nice buck a bit low behind the leg. Really kind of right behind the leg. I was at about 425 grains total with a 125gr RamCat on the front. I've blown through so many deer with this exact setup...until I didn't. Now for sure...

Re: Shooting the VPA 3 Blade fixed???

AJ, Great minds I guess................I bought those in 300gr for my Trad bow and in 200gr for my Crossbows. I got the 1 1/4" models of both. The 300gr versions fly great out of my recurve and I don't have any doubt they will fly great out of my crossbow. I used the 200gr single bevels out of ...

Re: Squirrel hunting

I hunt them with my air rifle. It's a lot like bow hunting. More challenging and you gotta get close! Most of my hunting spots are too close to houses for me to feel real comfortable shooting a 22. Especially if they are in a tree.

Re: OT: July 13 - The Biggest Supermoon of the Year

I woke up at 2 AM and looked out at the moon and it was definitely full and bright. But it looked almost exactly like it did the night before and I couldn't say it looked any larger at all. https://earthsky.org/moon-phases/closest-supermoon-2022-july-13/ This says it won't look larger just brighter...
