RE: Expandable Broadhead malfunction

I should have added that the last deer I took was with a 40/45 pound bear recurve and cedar arrows fitted with 2 blade Zwickeys at about 25 yards also from the ground. Also, I would fully agree that...

RE: Expandable Broadhead malfunction

Poor shot placement? Behind the shoulder blades and centered in the lung area. All that was there were ribs. It was light, I was in a ground blind with very good visablity with nothing between me and...

Expandable Broadhead malfunction

Yesterday was the first time I ever tried an expandable broadhead and it will be my last! I hit a big doe with a perfect shot while she was broadside and it hit with a really loud thunk with barely...

self bows

Are there any other folks here that build bows or shoot with "primative" equipment?.. I hate that term by the way cause it makes the bows sound like they are tree branches with bailing twine for...

RE: dan quillian

Arrow cast is a funny thing though: Guys that only shoot 350 fps crossbows have an advantage over slower compounds, have an advantage over folks that shoot laminated longbows, have an advantage over...

RE: worst hunting experience ever! whats yours?

It was more goofy than anything. I was hiding behind a brush pile figuring the deer would walk past me one way. The doe I wuz after didn't go in front of me on the game trail but behind me. Between...

RE: Who Chops Their Own Turkey Feathers?

Turkey feathers are cool cause they are about the only feather that you can split cleanly by grabbing the ends and pulling them apart. It takes a bit of practice but it saves you from scraping the...

RE: Gonna go with a single string .

It's just my opinion but a trad bow just doesn't seem happy shooting vanes. I personally hunt with bows I've made from trees shooting off my hand, a very old 40/45 pound Bear recurve that's take a...

RE: Longbow Kits, anybody built one ?

RE: Longbow Kits, anybody built one ?

RE: So what is everyone doing lately?

Hey There, I'm new to this forum but everyone seems like good people. This is what I've been up to and please don't think I'm here to sell bows: I sell enough and I'm here just to hang out.
