I have a dumb question.

If you cook your beef thoroughly, is the danger of getting sick from "mad cow" eliminated?

Dunno how much wood you cut, but you can "over-bow" yourself in the chainsaw department real easy. I gotta Stihl 029 Super (aka Farm Boss) and while it's a great saw after you cut with it for about an hour it gets really heavy. Husqvarna's are good saws, but I've heard complaints about the...

This may not be true of anyone else - but to me, the various scoring systems like Pope and Young (or Boone and Crockett, or any state sanctioned point system) only makes for great suppertime conversation and is wonderful for those who view hunting as a competitive sport... ... I'd rather discuss a g...

I use a Vari-Zone scope with my crozboo - makes me more accurate than I deserve to be. Field points are a good idea till your hold improves. I had to build a "supplementary target" for the Black Hole target I've been using to prevent burying the fletching. Haven't shot with the "suppl...

Guess I'll jump on the wagon too. I was able to A/B my Exomag with a Vari-Zone to a friends Horton Legend (175# I think) with a red-dot: - Exomag feels much lighter and better balanced. - No comparison with the trigger pull, the Emag let's go with just an easy squeeze. This helps me hold on target b...

Thanks for the ideas gents - and wabi, that kit sounds like the way to go - might start with a little low-end deal first. Fishing gear doesn't seem to retain its value like Excalibur Crozboos - so I hate to spend a bunch and end up not liking it! :lol: :lol: :lol: And yes - ultra lights are a hoot -...

Thanks for the link Partikle - it wasn't there, but those were neat just the same.

I'm pretty sure the one I'm thinking of was just a series of still photos - maybe 3 or 4 that showed the moose starting the jump, mid-air over the fence, and landing on the other side.

Other post notwithstanding - the August dates are good - might even be able to bring the whole family. Other than the day, what are the differences between the Saturday "non-club" and the Sunday "club" shoot? Also, will there be draw weight/speed restrictions? If so, I'll need to...

OT - Fly Fishing

OK... I know exactly jack squat about fly fishing, but a buddy at work wants to go. SO... I see where fly rods/reels/line are various sizes and whatnot - what's a good weight or size for a real "all purpose" type outfit... by "all purpose" I mean that it won't be used exclusively...

Anyone still have that Jumping Moose link???

Seems like a long time ago someone posted a link or maybe a series of pictures that showed a moose jumping over a fence.

I want to send them to a couple buddies of mine.

If you have them, thanks in advance for your time and trouble.

Well, if you're shooting both with a scope or are using a peep sight on both, I guess it would help you - at the very least it's good practice on crosshair placement and holding on target - though I'm guessing a rifle might be a shade heavier than a crossbow. Excalibur triggers are nice for that too...
