RE: Ahhhh!!! I did it again!!!
 

BD,
We're doing an outfitted hunt and the outfitter supplies the ground blinds over a large area at really productive waterholes.
Pretty sure he has the largest style Eastman blinds which I think are 67" center height. 62" would really be pushing it even with some cant I think.
I could probably get away with a 58" comfortably but really wanted to be sure I'm not taking something I can't use out of them.
I don't really like the idea of spot and stalk because my true effective range is probably 18 yards and under. I tried stalking them last time I was out and for me to get 18 yards from a good buck undetected would be about a miracle. We're going first week in September so the rut really won't be kicking in yet and decoys won't really be an option but I appreciate the offer. I know he has some nice small intimate waterholes where they can get under 10 yards while they drink. That's what I'm really hoping for. [:-]

I know I shoot a shorter bow actually pretty well. I can stack arrows with my buddy's Bear Kodiak Mag and it's only 54". I didn't realize that some of the take down models are sensitive at the connection points.

I'll figure something out! :DEven if it's buying or borrowing some 58" limbs for my Black widow.
I think those extra 4-6" is going to make a big difference in shot opportunities all around the inside of those blinds.

hell just take a crossbow and be done with it :)

outfitted hunts they probably don't want you decoying and spot and stalk much because it'll run the 'lope around a bit and all. Maybe not, depending on land they have to hunt etc.

decoying and spot/stalk is the funnest way to hunt by far, I imagine waterhole is more productive over a weeks period.

if you shot that Kodiak Mag well, buy an EBAY one, hunt with it, keep it a few weeks then back to EBAY and not lose a dime.

offer stands on that decoy BTW, just let me know

Well I got the Morrison in today, and yeah it's really nice. Nice lines, nice tones to the woods, great feel and I CAN'T USE IT!!![:@]:([:@]:(:eek:

Seriously, I tried drawing it slowly and it feels like I'll pull it right off the hinges if I bring it back to 30ish".
It's just not going to do it without me breaking something.

I like the style and feel of it better than my Black Widow so it looks like Frank got himself a nice yet "cheap" custom recurve,:eek:and I'll take that $$$ and see if I can find a 60ish" Morrison or Robertson to play with.

BUMMER.

I wonder is a Zipper Extreme can handle that 30" I know of one for sale as of today for $425 shipped (the one I sold my buddy, bocote limbs, flared riser- sweet bow)

RE: Ahhhh!!! I did it again!!!
 

You have any pictures of the extreme? Whats the riser?I thought you liked it?

I can't believe how good my zipper shoots. I wouldn't mind to have oneof thier standard curley maple models.

RE: Ahhhh!!! I did it again!!!
 

I had it, loved it ....... my buddy wanted it at the same time I got my all bamboo Zipper and I let him have it

I can't afford 2 bows right now, or I'd buy it back.

Bocote/purpleheart/cocobolo maybe in the riser ? bocote veneers, like a matte instead of glossy finish ..... 9.5 of 10 best I remember - NICE Zipper

RE: Ahhhh!!! I did it again!!!
 

Uh oh........I've struck again. LOL

My best friend loved the Morrison Shawnee, so much so that he shot roughly 3 million arrows Saturday when I showed him it. I couldn't pry it out of his hands so I pried some cash out of him instead.

So with cash in hand, I've added another bow to the stable. totally different direction vs the little 56" Shawnee recurve.

Stay tuned.LOL:D
