Re: Bowhunting and speed

. Fast bows have a downside most folks don't consider: everything, esp the arrow, has to be just right to get consistent accuracy. I agree 100% I still like a fast arrow. I like to get close, that part will not change for me. The speed just help me make a better shot and I can add weight to the arr...

Re: Leupold scope question

I have a 2X7 I got from Danny Miller a couple of years ago.

I used to have to check my scope and recheck it because it would be off one way or the other all the time.

The Leupold is awesome, I zero'd it once and it's been perfect since.

Re: Ideal shot distance?

Ideal . . .ideal shot distance is where you have your crosshairs set. No joking. If your crosshairs are at "zero" at 20 yards, then that's your ideal distance. I set up for a 20 yard shot when hunting and that's the distance I practice the most. 20 yards is my ideal shot distance. String j...

Re: Use two rubber bands with expandables

Actually you can dispense with ALL extra bands and in-flight deployment: Slick Tricks std or mags. my thought exactly.. Rather off topic, but, you guys know I can go into a three page rant on why expandables, even with their imperfections, are way better at killing deer than a fixed blade . . .and ...

Re: Use two rubber bands with expandables

There is a large difference in quality between the dental elastics and the rubberbands that come with the broadheads. There is also a difference in the thickness of the dental elastics, I use the thicker ones. Using two of the elastics is OK, it works. However, using two o-rings is not recommended, ...

Re: RIP Harold Webber

Sad to hear of this . . .I only got to meet him once at Boo's cottage. I remember how stinking good he was at shooting his crossbow, off hand bullseyes everytime. Fun to talk to and as everyone else knows, a great guy.

Prayers for him and his family.

Thanks for the post Don.

Re: Point restrictions

I just wanted to clarify, I am in favor of the restrictions. We did some self imposed restrictions on our property . . .and that's how I found out that it can be hard at times. But, I tend to forget about those restrictions during bow season. :lol: I can't seem to get my cousin to hold off on shooti...

Re: Point restrictions

A couple of years ago, in VA., I shot two bucks and thought both were 8 pointers . . .they were both 6 pointers, no brow tines . . .so, I can understand your frustrations.

I personally am a meat hunter . . .a deer is a deer.
