I should definately be there as I've told you Jeff, when you were conjuring up this idea. Mapquest says it's about a 2hr and 45min drive. Not too bad, if I can get RD to drive me I'll be there in an hour lol. Interstate knocks out the majority of it. Looking forward to it, my Hoyt will be shooting with a bunch of Bowtech, hopefully I can hang ;). Just got my 5th Robinhood with it 3 days ago.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Damit it Jeff, you just made me hungry after reading that :Dbring it a little closer to Indiana and ill be there. Yes i do love chocolate labs, i have had one, but got a yellow now. As far as ribbing, i can take it with the best of them and can even serve some myself :DHave fun guys!!

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

I can bring my 3D deer since I'm only 1.5 hr away. For some reason it's kind of a pain in the arse to pull arrows out of. Got soap??[8D]

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

I've gotone of those silicon tubes you put your arrows in to make them pull easier.....and an arrow puller. It'll be fine....and thanks for bringing the target. We'll set some kind of little course up.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

If you've previously talked to me about bringing a 3D animal......keep it coming. I'll have 4 or 5 here, though. We should have enough to set up and shoot a mini course.....or just have some fun shooting.

Looking forward to it.:)

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

I sure am too. Only a few weeks away

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Hell, the way I've been shooting lately...I don't even think I'll bring my bow.

Just kidding...she's coming with me.:)

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

You mean THIS STUFF, NY?.....:D





[:'(][:'(][X(][>:] That looks very familiar. Except there were live things moving at the bottom of farms jar and stuff growing on the outside. That's some potent stuff. I can handle my booze with the best of them, but dang 10 shots of that stuff and you're in trouble :D:D:D

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Is my Matthews gonna have to hang out by itself with all the Bowtech's? :eek:

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Well, I was going to try and make the venture to this little shindig, but looks like my plans fell through. I am on vacation next week and was going to head to NC to see a good friend, but things didn't work out with her so I guess I'll just be staying in Maryland to hunt. Would've been fun to meet up with some of you clowns... I mean good buds from the site.;)

Hope you guys have a good time.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

I am OFFICIALLY locked in and ready to go!


I'm pretty excited about it :)

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

To anyone within driving distance......everyone's welcome to come have breakfast and shoot a while with us. The more the merrier. If you haven't PM'd me for directions/address yet....please do so.

We're looking forward to seeing all of you guys, Sunday. Hopefully....Rob will have him a NC deer under his belt by then! We'll be hunting them, here, Thurs., Fri. & Sat.:)

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone as well. I appreciate everything Jeff is doing with this. I'll be bring the new General, Marquis and my Allegiance if anyone wants to shoot them for the first time on Sunday during our shoot and plenty of PA Whitetail Bologna to snack on. MMMmmm MMMMM it's good....goooood!

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

We're "set" here, too. Anyone needing directions shoot me a PM.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

wish I could join in on the fun Jeff, But I will be working. SOunds like a fun time and if I were not working would be there. I could paty a visit to my Dad in Greensboro. Have fun pig out and most importantly be SAFE!!

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

So Rob, which one is your favorite?

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Probably the whitetail bologna...lol

No seriously, the General is a awe shooting bow. Everyone that's shot mine from Switchback shooter to a Trykon shooter just goes.....OH MY G.. and WOW...

All my life I've never shot a bow like the General, the Guardian was awe inspiring but the General...WOW!

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Dang Rob does it tickle your pickle as you draw it back? Thats one heck of a bow you got there.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Besides the BH differences Rob, what's the difference between the General and the Airforce's? To be honest I haven't really read up and the new Bowtechs. Other than just glimpsing at pictures. If I can manage to shoot it backwards I might be interested Sunday ;)

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

MOHO,...Almost.;) I've never said that about any other bow, I've owned some dandy's. Always the top of the line Hoyt when I shot for them, My Allegiance, the Drenalin, Switchback, Trykon, Tribute, Vectrix and a few others, it's simply awe inspiring when you release the string.:D

C09, I haven't had the honors to handle the Airbornes...yet!

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Well since working in the shop, I have gotten to shoot just about all the bows, except the Bowtechs. We used to have them but gave them away to another dealer, because I think they were having trouble out of them. I have gotten to shoot the Tribute, and it was an OK bow. The one thing I do love about the Bowtech's are the amazing back wall they have. I do like that.

If I can keep making the push to get them, I could see me hunting with a Synergy Extreme next year. I have gotten to shoot the Snyergy quiet a bit, and I like the way to Elite's shoot and preform.

But my Hoyt is just a sweet shooter for sure, I just think it's a perfect combo of smooth draw and speed. After tweaking it a little bit. I've got her really shooting. It might be hard for me to get rid of this bow.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

I've shot a lot of bows....and the new General is undoubtedly head and shoulders above anything I've shot for the "smooth" factor. I don't know how that will equate to performance, but it IS a smooth shooting bow. It's not as fast as my Allegiance, but it's likely plenty fast for the game we're hunting.

I have a history with my Allegiance, now. It'll be hard to put it on a shelf. I might get one of the new Bowtech's next year for 3D.....but I have a feeling the Ally will go with me into the woods again, next Fall.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

I will try and be there. Everything I have been planning has been falling through but hopefully that will change. Lost my cell yesterday in the woods, not sure where but I have to find it.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

I'll be hunting with my Alley when I'm down there too Jeff, the General's, nor the Marquis's modules haven't come yet and they are a little long right now at 29". I'm going to shoot the General at 28 and the Marquis at 28.5".

I'll have them there for anyone who wants to shoot them tho.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

That Marquis looks like a nice bow. I've always had a soft spot for single cams. I'm getting to the point now, though, that I want a bow that I can shoot "MY" setup and get what I want to out of it.



For instance, I may NEVER get a #70 bow. Just from playing around with bows for the past few months and expiramenting with stuff. I have been able to get EVERYTHING out of my Vectrix XL. For example. It has a 315fps IBO, on #63 maxed, 28.5" and a 360gr arrow I'm getting 285 out of it. 287 out of my hunting arrow weighing in at 354 w/ feathers. That beats my boss's Vulcan set at the same exact setup. With a 5gpp arrow, I'm in the 307ish range.


It's amazing what a twist here and there can do :D



So if I can get a Synergy Extreme. I'll really be smoking.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Sorry guys, bad news. I started back to work today since my surgery. I had to move 3 days vacation from a couple weeks ago and I scheduled them for this week to come/go to NC and hunt with Jeff. I didn't think it was going to be an issue because no one takes this week off. Well it turns out, 2 guys schedule Thursday and Friday off for some reason before I got back and I cannot have them off. I won't be coming to NC this weekend. I already bought my license too. It'll be good for the spring when I come down to hunt spring birds with Jeff. We can reschedule the get together for spring or Jeff said all of you guys can continue without me. It's up to you guys and Jeff right now but I won't be coming down.:(

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Well, I guess we can reschedule it for later. That would be Ok, but if the rest of you fellas want to keep on with the plan I'm all in.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Damn! bummer for both You guys and your wives. I'm sure you were looking forward to the "time spent" as much or more than the hunting!

Life ...huh! [&:]

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Hey guys.....I just got back online.

Let's reschedule this for the spring.....when Rob can be a part of it. Rob...don't worry about it. I'll take my camera into the woods and take photos of the deer you'll be missing....lol.

You other guys....shoot me a PM. We CAN still get together and eat, but I think it would be better to wait. GR8.....Jenny wasn't coming down on this trip, anyway.

We'll do this in the Spring....if that's OK with everyone.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Rescheduling is fine by me. Sorry you lost your vacation Rob.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

G, what town is it want to see how fare? I guess you can tell me instead since you lived here?

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

You're 4-4.5 good hours from here, SF!

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

G a few weeks ago I was in West Jefferson, in a cabin with the girl before my big trip. Is that close?

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

W-Jefferson is 1.5hrs. I have a great friend there. Good deer hunting, too!

You can get here faster than you can get there from Mt. P.

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Springtime suits me. I will have my new bowtech by then! Im leaning torward the new 82nd airborn!:)Count me in for the springtime. It will be about 8 hours for me but worth a vacation day or 2!

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Well there goes a three hundred dollar plane ticket. [:@]

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Heck with that, Chris. Come on over! I have Thurs., Fri off....and hell I'll buy your license.;)

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Sorry again guys. I was really looking forward to it. Jeff's bucks are hot right now and after working just one day, I'm ready to be off again....LOL

I was really looking forward to meeting you guys as well. Sunday would have been a blast. I hope even more people might be able to make it in the spring. I think I'll make plans for a fall get together here at my "lodge" too...maybe prior to hunting season, perhaps Sept 08 we can have a mini NE get together. ;)

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Sept. 8th is DANGEROUSLY close to our opener!,......lol

I'm gonna hit the woods I think anyway, this week. I need another doe or two out....and I'm gonna try to get 'er done.

We'll have a good time in the spring!

RE: HNI Mini "get-together".....NW Nor. Carolina
 

Called off after people bought plane tickets and all that???? No No NO... you guys just don't understand how this works. That's a bummer.
