Re: 380 Adjustment

I just got done building a tripod/stool set up for my son to shoot off of and ran the 380 thru its paces at all yardages without a hitch .I will wait till after season to adjust anything I think. It finally got cold here .First frost last night so we will hunt hard till the freezer is full. My son h...

380 Adjustment

Anybody try a 1" brace height(front or back of string ?) on a 380 then space the bumpers to get your 2 string clearance? I already trimmed 1/3 off the ball of the mount .Shoots dead on at all ranges with scope set at 370fps w/375 gr arrow . Anybody see any gains with more Brace height? I would ...

Re: Do You Use Deer Decoy's?

We had a problem with Bucks beating the hell out of 3d targets left out over night /on days we did not shoot. One Buck stuck his antlers in a 3d target so bad he carried it 100yds. Bet the other Bucks left him alone after seeing that :lol: I have killed a few with decoys but many more with out. If y...

Re: Stringing aid

I plan on making one .I use a C2 Crank which I used with a stringing aid (borrowed) to adjust my string. I already made a few things for my 380 and enjoy tinkering. I have stuff in the shop so cost is moot. $20 is not that bad but add shipping and it's money I can use for something else. I only buy ...

Re: Vacuum sealing testimonial

I got a Food Saver when they first came out. We grow a 1/2 acre garden, raise rabbits for meat, pigs, quail and put up as much Deer as we can (10+) a year. The Food Saver is too costly for all we do .Bags even on sale cost way too much. Saran wrap /freezer paper and canning is the way to go for volu...

Re: R.E.D.S Modification

Boo we shoot a lot .(daily unless it is raining)That being said how often will a Flemmish string need to be adjusted? I heard horror stories about them needing constant adjustment. If they last longer and are quieter I'm all in. Faster is great too . If cat whiskers don't cost but 5 fps. or so great...

Smallest dot you can see.(aim small miss small) Off a bench, Seated, Bipod, Rear bag, Level ,Square to target. No wind. Take as much Human as you can out of the shot. Same arrow for every...
