Archery Talk

LOVE slick tricks!! The blood trail from my buck last year was crazy. Blood was spraying from both sides!

 

I've been trying to start a TW archery meet local to me. I'd be down with a 3d meet. Meets are hard to setup sometimes. The range by my house had 10+ lanes full every weekend almost all day. Was quite annoying.

 

I would probably be down for a 3D TW meet!!!

 

Where do you live?

 

Chandler Az. There is a 20 lane range 3 miles from my house. It's part of a huge park that has 2 dog parts, Frisbee golf course, and kid playgrounds.

 

I'd have to make a weekend trip outta it, I live in a super small town in the middle a nowhere, not many TW members around me! It sucks!

 

Well if I set something up you can stay at my place for the weekend if you drive down. Just gotta like dogs, I have 6 of them....

 

I have to find a range near the new house. I guess there are a couple places in Tucson, but was hoping to find something a little closer.

 

You live in tucson. Walk outside about 10 feet and start shooting!

(I shoot in my backyard at times).

Also just picked up a PSE Long Bow. Only 25lbs as my arthritis doesn't allow me to pull much more weight. Still fun to learn the real basic bow. It's so much harder to shoot!

 

Moving to Sahuarita, right in the middle of a development. Im sure I can shoot in the desert nearby, just have to find a spot.

I used to shoot in my backyard out to 60yards

 

where are all the socal archers at? I'm always down for a 3D shoot, and go to most of the local ones.

 

Got a new release. Ended up getting a trufire hard-core max. Love how I can adjust the trigger on it.

Also sighted in my new sight to 30 yards. The level was off and a buddy helped me get that setup right. So loving archery.

 

Got to check out a buddy's new Tenzing Packs today at the range. Pretty nice packs.


Also got one of my coworkers to come out and shoot which was nice. He hasn't shot in a bit and his bow has been gathering dust.

 

I love Slick Tricks. 100 Grain standard. This blood trail is from a doe I shot in 2013. She went about forty yards, leaving a blood trail Stevie Wonder could follow.

At the hit site....




About five yards from the hit....





Maybe fifteen yards....



Twenty yards or so....





Still shoot 100 Grain Rocket Sidewinders as well.

 

Just for fun I have this 80lb crossbow. Got a red dot sight for it.

 

Oh I thought this was a link to AT

 

It is. Not much going on in here.

I'm still having peep sight issues. Damn thing never wants to stay in place no matter who messes with it.

 

any idea what strings are on your bow? you might be needing new ones. super quality strings do not move ever.

 

Whatever PSE installs stock. I'm looking at new strings right now. We got it rigged so it won't move, but it can't be adjusted ever again due to the rigging. Either way I was able to sight in at 30yards, but I can tell the peep sight if off a bit.

Any suggestion on what string to go with?

 

A quality shop will make custom strings and cables, should be around $100. Unfortunately I don't know anyone in the area, I send mine to a guy in NH. Best tuner I've ever used.
