That buck probably came up to her and ask what time it was since she was sporting that nice shinny watch.Big Al wrote:There seems to be only one rack in the picture, looks good enough to eat.
I wonder which rack won the contest? Never mind, I'm sure it was the one still living . . .
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

BowBug's do work
I used bow bugs on 2219 bolts last year out of a 150 lb. horton crossbow. I killed four a buck and three does with them. They worked great on the buck and two does, but didn't work on the last doe. I was using spitfire xp pro broadheads and on the last doe one of the blades of the mechanical head opened up and broke the bow bug. I made a good shot on the doe and recovered the deer and the bolt, so I know that this is what happened. The darned thing is neat but the range is not as far as they say.
The real problem for me was getting them to stay in place on the bolt when it is launched. I kept my shots under 20 yards.
I switched to rage 2 blade expandable heads this year hoping to avoid having a blade folding over and breaking the transmitter. The problem for me is that I am now using a excalibur exomax and gold tip bolts. These go much faster than my old set up with the horton. As a result I haven't found a way to keep them in place on my carbon bolts and they shoot too poorly to use for hunting. If I ever get them shooting straight I would very much like to use them again.
Also the practice head they give you is a good bit lighter than the actual transmitter with a battery.
