New toy.

Just what I need. Another addiction.

I started hunting with a 28 pound Fred Bear bow which I still have. Used it for squirrels and grouse for years. Never could use it for deer though.

Now, Mississippi Lake, that's right near me. Just down the road from where I hunt. Do I dare go and see this guy and put down a few bucks. I think I might.

PS
My first crossbow deer, my first buck, my first deer EVER, and my biggest deer (290 lbs) was a gift. He walked up to me and looked me in the eye from 20 yards, and waited there until I stopped shaking....10 yard recovery.

Grizz . . . nice collection . . . however, I don't think there is enough space on the www to post Don's collection. I counted 35 different bows at his cabin alone . . .

Don . . .I expect to see some mighty fine midnight shooting next time we meet up.

Stop on by, Sumner, and I'll send that 80 pound flatbow up for y'all to play with. It only stacks a little.

Now you're talking Grizz . . .can we throw something at those bears of yours? Hey Don . . .what do you say, a little midnight bear hunting?

Scott, you can keep your stinkin', dirty, dangerous, stupid, ugly, garbage eating, flea bitten, tick totin', scary bears! I don't want to see them in the day let alone at night! Shoot first, ask questions later!

Why does that not surprise me??

I can't imagine!

Don, it's a pretty bad feeling when a bear walks by your treestand heading in the direction of your truck and it's only 15 minutes before dark. Hmmm... is he somewhere between me and the truck . Better walk out with the gun loaded and your finger on the safety. NOT a good feeling.

NOT a good feeling.

Ray, that's called "pucker factor" ... and if that spirals out of control, the result is called "skid marks"! LOL

I used to shoot a Bear "Brush"recurve @ 65 lbs.---and i had to work out with springs years ago just to comfortably shoot the thing--dropped down to a Bear 55lb.--best shootin recurve i ever shot--they sure are a light tool to carry on those walkin hunts

Sweeet looking bow's !

[Canabow]

Ive hunted and owned 5 bows started out with a Onedia Screaming Eagle. It was fast and very loud. It was very hard to keep the recurve limbs in sync. I currently own a york compound at 65lbs nice shooting but prefer to hunt with my 56# Mamba recurve very light to carry in the woods. There is just something about shooting a bow with no sights that appeals to me. Have taken many grouse, rabbits and one black bear with it. I was given an old Fred Bear recurve have never shot it or strung it for that matter. I no longer have the time to practice with my recurve to feel comfortable to shoot at big game with it so I bought my xbow. I target practice with my guns alot and find the xbow not much different other than the range I shoot at.

I took a guy to the blind to hunt the other night and a hog made a loud scarey sound about 75 yards from us right at dark and he said"Can we sit here a while?
I said NO.
He was shaking when we got to the Jeep.
Guess we should have waited.
He had a PF of about 10

talk about pucker factor-----when you walk by a hidden bobcat or lynx--and just after you pass it by a few feet---it lets out one of its bloodcurdling screeches----of course this all happens in total darkness--talk about raising the pulse rate.

[Canabow]

I cant count the times I have had grouse break from cover under my feet when walking out at night. Makes me jump everytime.
