Nice letter, I got mine to. I just want to tell the Dude that it looks really strange in Gmail (googles quite common mail client/system). Someting has gone wrong with the layout, but it still readable :(. You had to scroll one "screen" before the first text appeared and then you had good l...

Game anatomy and shot placement.

Are there any good site or book that lists/shows different game anatomy so you can see where to place you shots in different angles. As I undestand it you aim for the upper tip of the heart and the lungs, but have to avoid the shoulder blade. Different animals are quite different adn not always easy...

ehh.. What was that video made to show? Different setups shoot differently? Can't see how you can compare a bow & xbow and from the beginning have differences in speed, arrow length, weight etc. A really hard comparison to make. The longer arrows of the compound fly better and thereby will drop ...

I had problems sighting in my Lumi as I thought the screw in the speed ring was to fix it so I kept loosening it before twisting. This effectively disconnected the speed ring from the system and made me make no change to the zoom. When I realized that the screw should not be loosened before changing...

Parking garages can give quite good distances. Try to find one that isn't open during evnings (company parking garage maybe) and talk with the owners to see if you can rent the right to use it. My archery club sometimes borrow the local buss garage if we want to shoot long distance shots during wint...

I love 3D shooting. One of the things that made me buy my xbow (as I can just dream about hunting). Didn't you have problems pulling out the arrows? The reason I got a phoenix and not a Exomax was that my friend had one and had real problems geting the arrows out of the 3d-animals. It must have been...

I didn't know they had implants in the 1500's. Me and my friends are working on a theory. If you look at the perfect symmetrical line from the cleft to the arm pit it is obvious that the breasts are implants. Our conclusion is that this is a male time traveler that has had plastic surgery in our ti...

I guess getting longer bolts that goes through both the STS and GP-mount should solve it.

Re: page 4

go to page 4 ready to hunt and look at the pics May I ask what page 4? The thumbhole stock versions of the models they're available in have shorter overall lengths. Since the main frames and the risers/limbs are all the same, (Exomax same as Equinox except for stock) this says the thumbhole stocks ...

To hijack this thread. About climbing the stands. Does anyone of you use pole climber shoes? Like for example these? http://images.tradera.com/512/69085512_1.jpg (Two of them) Or this version that seems to be more common in the states. http://www.specialized.net/ecommerce/shop/images/060x547_PMI.JPG

O/T Ugliest portrait in the world?

I just stumbled upon this marvelous painting done about 1515. It is called The Ugly Duchess by Quentin Matsys. It might be the ugliest portrait in the world and is quite disturbing... :?

Who would buy this and put it on their wall?
