Sharp Shooter

Who else shoots archery? And what kind of bow and set-up do you have. Mine is in my signature. I hunt antelope, deer, turkey, and possibly elk with my bow. How about you?

That bow may not be legal to hunt elk with. I know some states have certain requirements.

I had a PSE Fire-Flite. I put it in my press and let it out too fast. I am getting a Bowtech Allegiance soon.

archery sucks

I don't see the fun in shooting a deer 300 yards out. You can have a tv in your shooting house with the volume on high and still shoot a deer. There is nothing more fun than getting a deer within 20 yards and waiting for the perfect shot. The reason I do it is because I love the tuning that's involved. It is a lot more harder than shooting a gun, but to each his own.

Calm your nerves people, archery is no more challenging than rifle or vice versa. Each has its own special approach and no one method is better than the other. You cannot compare apples to oranges if ya know what i mean. I hunt archery as well as rifle and feel i am challenged equally in the two areas. Archery seasons here are usually in the prime time of the season, therefore making more likely to have activity and a possible shot. Rifle seasons are usually a few weeks after archery sometimes when the rut has finished or the animals have been heavily pressured by bowhunters previously. For me rilfe hunting is just as much of a challnege as archery. I have only been at the archery for 2 years now so I am picking things up here as I go along. I shoot a mathews ultramax, easton carbons, 100gr wasp 3 fixed blades, tru glo sight, string leeches and limb savers, nap stabalizer and i think thats about it. I usually only archery hunt elk and mule deer. Took a elk in 2003 and 2004 and a mule deer in 2004. I still love my rifle whitetail hunt though.

Though Zak wouldn't know too much about having deer in that close. [:-]

Just kidding bud. Hey, look at it this way, having your PSE get messed up just gave you an excuse to upgrade to a more respectable bow!

Yeah, I love archery. My setup is in my sig as well.
