First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

Well i got to my stand late tonight and as i was climbing up i seen a fox. I race to the stand and pull my bow up while i keep making noises to keep it in my lane. I nock an arrow with a practice tip and let it fly. I learned that It is hard to guess distances. I put it right behind it it leg and low. Clean miss thank god If i had a better bow my 20 yard pin would be good at 25 yards or mabey close to 30 yards.

You'll wanna use a BH next time you try to kill a fox Jimmy.

Judging distance is one of the hardest things to do. I like to practice judging distance every time I practice. A fox is a tough target. You will get it next time. ;)

Hey Jim, don't use a field tip for a fox, that is not good. I'm glad you missed it too.....remember small game heads for small game and birds, broadheads for everything else.

No bow has enough speed for the20 yard pintoshoot the same as the30 yard pin.;)Next time use BH.

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

ok i will use a BH but i dont want to ruin the pelt. I think ill take the ol 17 out of the cabinet.

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

The pelt wil be fine with a broadhead shot. I have sewed a bunch of them up after they are skinned.

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

yeah but i want to get the most money for this. If i have to use a gun thats fine.

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

You're gonna need a lot of fox pelts to get that $2000 bow.

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

Dude its not always about money. I would be happy with anything i got.

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

If it's not about the money, then why did you say this:

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

Jim, two days ago you said you could outshoot anyone in a league shoot. Now you are telling us you miss at 25 yards...? Your stories make me laugh little guy. :D:D:D

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

You will have to wait a few more weeks to get the most money, as they are not quite prime yet!!!

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

i never said that i could outshoot any1 but i would be some competition.

And well i think that i said that i had an error in range estimation.

And i was in a hurry because this fox was not going to stay around much longer because i had it paused in my shootin lane for about 3 mins looking for me.

You see i always have a comback for you calling my bluffs so can you plase lay off, just please dint reply to my post anymore because you have too much fun calling out a 14 year old.

Thank you both, you are the only ones that actually helped me.

RE: First Shot Taken in the woods.
 

Jim, I was 14 once and I thought I knew it all too once, but sooner or later you'll learn to just sit back and take the help from others and let the ego chill. I dont mean to hate on you so much, its just that every message I read is of your ever-wise 14 year old knowledge.
