Default RE: My First Hunt

Once you go from field tips to bheads, you might not fare so well at the longer ranges as the bheads often steer the arrow from the front. Hogs are real tough animals to take w/ a bow of any type,but usually offer close range shots, same as turkey. I use Zwickey grapplers for turkey to keep the bhead in them in the event of a marginal shot. I won't shoot at a deer past 35 yds and would much prefer 35 feet, lol. Not bragging here as I've spent tons of time experimenting w/ stuff, but I can hit a poker chip from a rest at 40 yds w/ both of my Excals w/ field points. Bheads open that up quite a bit to about hardball size groups, which are okay for alot of non-spooky game. A range finder is a big plus, imho.

Way to far for me. Turkeys havea small vital area. At that distance I think the risk is far geater than the reward.
My 2 cents.
