Where can I shoot my bow around toronto?

Hi all I'm from the Toronto area and I want to get more practice with my bow. I understand toronto has some sort of legislation against shooting bows (or so I've been told). My question is where can I legally and safely shoot my bow without running into conflict? As I don't have a backyard to practi...

Slicktrick 1st impression

I just picked up some 125gn slicktrick magnums f9r spring bear! I jumped on the band wagon hearing nothing but good reviews. Straight out of the package I was impressed with how sharp the blades were and how sharp they looked on my zombie slayers! Now hopefully I get a big bruin at my bait to presen...

Re: Pa. Gobbler Season, well maybe???????

Catclr a little off topic but how do you like the #6 Longbeards? Do they really hold a pattern as well as advertised? I got myself a box the other day and I'm waiting for a gobbler or coyote to come within range.

Ps. Good shooting! Nice yote

Turkey shot placement?

Hi all I'm just wondering where you all try and put the bolt when you have a gobbler in your cross hairs? I aim for a broadside shot and try and keep the arrow in a spot where it will go through both wings and hit vitals aswell as take out it's legs. I'm just curious if this is bad form and how many...

Re: Toxic broadheads for black bear? Thougts/advice?

Lol one bear :lol:. But I'm probably not going to see a bear each day.. Changing bh's gives me the random option to use whichever one on the bear I choose to take plus I get to shoot my bow more and practice while I'm at my camp :lol: 8)

I'm looking for an every day target for field points but I also want to have the option to shoot broadheads at the target during hunting season so I can tune my scope to my bh's

Re: Toxic broadheads for black bear? Thougts/advice?

Block xbow target vs excalibur xbow target?

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a new target and I was wondering what would be my best choice? I've narrowed down my selection to either the excal xbow target and the block xbow target. I'm curious as to which one will give me more target life. Any advice or pointers and personal opinions would be gr...

Re: Toxic broadheads for black bear? Thougts/advice?

My xbow has a 280lb draw weight so I don't think I'll have an issue there. I also strategically placed my baits close to my stands (15 and 23 yards) so shot placement shouldn't be an issue either if I do my part and the bear give me a nice broadside or slight quartering away shot. Thanks for the inp...

Re: Toxic broadheads for black bear? Thougts/advice?

Hankenhunter that's my thought exactly, I have no doubt that they'll do damage I'm just concerned with fat/skin/hair will clog the wounds making the blood trail weak.. My 2 tree stands are situated about 15 yards and 25 yards from my bait so I don't think distance will really come into play. Thanks ...

Re: Toxic broadheads for black bear? Thougts/advice?

Thanks for the reply gents! The 7/8 inch cut is what is throwing me off..I own some that I bought for deer hunting but I had some arrows made up for me that were recommended to be used with 100-125 grain BH'S for optimal KE and velocity....Decisions decisions, I like the toxic's based on their accur...
