well the hunt for a .019 pin is going better than expected...theres a TON of shops up here around school that ive never known about. got 1 major shop to call in a half hour that just might have it...but found one in another shop if i need it...only kicker is it is red. i love the red for regular hours...but low light, its the first to go. to me, that red is the brightest till its about dark...going to wait for the other shop to open before i decide....might just leave it alone...i KNOW if i was shooting on my black bag id beable to see it no problem...when i shoot my white foam at home, and my buddies white target here yesterday, i just loose the green and cant get a float....brown deer? no problem...but the .019 will still buy me more time being slightly larger...ive kicked around the idea for a while...just never ordered them...less than 2 weeks before the season i want one........lol...if i cant find one today im not changing this season....doesnt matter about resighting...that needs done anyway...i forget my backyard is only 15yds since we got the fence lol...

would like to goto a shop anyway today...loop is slipping pretty bad which is killing my peep(another excuse for last nights poor shooting lol) and i had "something" hit me in the side after a shot last night...it was an arm on my Fuse string shox(mine are like the shox but have the "leeches" too...lasted over a year...i liked them. so im heading to a shop reguardless today i think...

well, the hunt for a .019 viper pin has ended! only found that 1 shop that had the red....it was actually a nice color..wasnt red or yellow...i think it was an orange but it was a Viper....i liked it and the guy was installing it....CRACK! uht-oh! he pulled out a tube of .019 viper pins and said no worries! i asked if he could throw green in and he said no problem!

left it stick out of the tube just a haiiiir longer and boy, that sucker gathers light! it is BRIGHT. those .010s i have are nice and small, but dont gather the light like the .019 does. huge difference....going to try to shoot here shortly....i just lifted a little bit ago, but hopefully i can get it close...

also had a new loop tied on(lost all my material somewhere and havent ordered more) and had new string shox thrown in since both mine were shot...

they had an awesome looking indoor 3d range...might have to head there this winter when me and the buddies are bored...ive never shot indoor 3d. never been to that shop...surprised they have viper pins...they didnt have a whole lot of anything else really...and they were in the absolute middle of nowhere...heard them talking about business being slow...:eek: but real nice people...

wish i headed in that direction as a freshmen here...the land out there is amazing looking...big rolling hills with tons of fields and nice woodlots...everywhere around here is FLAT swamp land or fields...never headed that direction in search of land though......beautiful looking country screaming DEER...

well, i redeemed myself big time tonight. exhausted from lifting, and i still shot well. i shot probably 30 arrows before the buddies showed up...i was dialing in my 30yd pin when they showed...not that i ever try to impress anyone with my shooting...i dont..i know im not great...but to guys like them im amazing...

20yds i shafted one....was almost a true robin hood...arrow put a hole about dead center of the nock, split the nock in 2 but then glanced out and ripped carbon fiber off the back end of the nock....thats what i get for group shooting at 20yds...

30yds my buddy put a snuff can on the target "lets see who can come the closest" he said....WHACK...WHACK...i drilled it both times....

the .019 pin made a huge difference...as light wa fading i could hardly see my 30, but my 20 was fine....smart move for me IMO....

It feels good to finally get back in the field. Season opened on Monday, and my wife has been hunting with the ML. We had a real close call on a big buck last night, at last light, but couldn't get a clear shot. We have other plans tonight, but will be headed back out tomorrow evening. I think we've figured out their feeding routes though.

I probably won't be out with the bow until around Oct 13th or so. ML Hunting & a trip to Canada will take up the rest of the time until then. Good luck to you guys out hunting!

RE: Official Team Elowapi Thread (15)
 

I wouldn't mind that full schedule! Good luck to you!

Nothing new here with me. Just waiting on my new 101st limbs to correct my bonehead mistake I made the other day. Hopefully this all works out or I won't be in a tree opening day[&:]

Rob, i knew Viper is said to be a great company to work with from reading your posts and some of the others....just didnt have the time....it was a real wierd light situation and target color that was screwin with me....the last 2 evenings ive been able to see my .010s fine :eek: but that .019 on top is nice to have....ive been impressing the buddies every evening since...lol "i bet noone can hit this snuff can at 30yds" WHACK...WHACK...both of them in there..."i bet noone can hit the little plastic egg the stuff animal easter bunny is holding" WHACK...."i know noone can hit the stuffed easterbunny at 40yds" (noone but me has pins past 30 lol...) WHACK...."well if we all had 1000$ into our bows we could do that too......" :eek: or is it the hours and hours of practice i put in.....theyve all admitted that this year has been the most they practiced....only 1 of them is somewhat consistant but even he still has some wide flyers...i hit full draw and i have eyes watchin me from every angle "look at his grip""look how steady he is" "i think that level helps him"

drhntr...congrats!! have a safe trip!! with any luck we'll be on the board by the time you get back! most all of us aughta be hunting by then!

like Rob said, not long for us PA boys now.....i gotta get the rest of the gear dug up this weekend and i'll be ready to go...even got my first cold under my belt...well...fighting it now...so thats always nice to get outta the way! lol.....been a miserable couple days but im finally feeling somewhat better...

RE: Official Team Elowapi Thread (15)
 

Great deal , congrats and have a great time in Greece. [&:] LOL Seriously have fun but half your man card stays home. I would not allow my wife to schedule me a trip during hunting season. I made that clear when we met. LOL. There are too many months when archery season is NOT in. Be safe and we'll look forward to your return and your buck on the ground!

PA teammates, 1 week and counting!
