Archery Talk

Yes it is exciting.....

 

@40yrds getting better

 

My max sight in is 40.
My max hunt is 30.
I’d be happy with that.

If I can get that group my first time out this spring I’d call it good. Lol

 

Im elk hunting in Montana this year.. from everything ive been told (from others that bow hunt elk in Montana and Colorado) its a good idea to be proficient out to 50. Some argue 60 even.. Dont know that I would take a shot at 60 but im going to practice. with the current environment, i have plenty of time to shoot the bow lol

 

I don’t have the equipment for that range.

But dam
Even 40 yards is a long ways for this old fucker..

 

I probably don’t either but I’m gonna give Er hell

 

shoot out to 60then 40 seems easy

 

After this year the compound will be put away I think anyway.

Crossbow for everything...

 

Why?

 

He made a reference of being older. Hell, I’m 34 and 40-50 arrows a day has my busted shoulder hurting pretty bad. I’ll prolly be shooting a crossbow by 60

 

Yeah mine is jacked too. I dont shoot much. But i did get a doe with my bow last season

 

Give em hell, man! I like your energy!(This coming from someone that likes shots at 12 yards)

 

I took a 6 point at 14 yards last season with my .308
Doe walked right up on me and never saw or smelled me.. stayed still thinking a buck might follow her and sure enough..

I’ll take easy meat any day of the week

 

Got any pics? I mean, I believe you, I just like deer pics!

 

There you go. Plus a knife handle I made out of its antler

 

I actually cooked the tenderloin of that deer last night and made fajitas out of the leftovers tonight when I got home

 

Great pics! Thanks for sharing!

 

Bob you get your shoulder mount back from last years bow season?

 

I like that knife

 

God willing if i can get through this pandemic I’ll be 65 next year. Like DD said shoulders ain’t what they use to be. Back has issues too. I could maybe get some new equipment which might help but the investment may not be warranted.
Plus more range, speed, and also they opened up almost all seasons for the crossbow.
I still love the compound. But I only throw about a dozen per session.
