Re: Big Buck Down...M355 Strikes Again!
Beautiful buck Drew! Give me a hint on where abouts you were hunting. I have property in Washtenaw County(Irish Hills),also relatives who have property in Brooklyn,Mi by the MIS Speedway. Those are the type of bucks I see on all the farm lands(private property). Am I close?
Re: Big Buck Down...M355 Strikes Again!
Maybe there's just something about those VPAs.
Re: Big Buck Down...M355 Strikes Again!
>>ScareCrow, I shoot the 150gr and 175gr unvented. Perfect arrow flight from both with the 175gr being about 1.5" lower at 40yds. Used both in Africa to great affect and all would be reusable other than the two that drilled rocks after pass-thru. And those would just need a steeper bevel at the tip to be back in business. All still spin true. My brother in law also uses the same head after I got him to drop the Rage and some other mechanical that he sheered the blades off of last year on a doe. So far this year its 13 heads of game taken with the VPA's without a failure.
Here is my arrow recipe...
18" ZS
92gr insert
3.5" wrap
2" blazers set with the AZ Bolt jig 1" offset from end of arrow (if I recall)
half-moon Lumenok
150gr VPA 3 blade
462gr and 20.4% FOC
>>jd4223, yes this is a private property buck, from Oakland county and that's about all I'll say as to where.
If you have property in Washtenaw County and relatives in Brooklyn, MI, you are in some of the best trophy deer habitat in Michigan. A much better location than I am in.
