  1. You'll be fine with a 20 ga as long as you pattern it. I shoot both 12 and 20 ga. My 20 ga is a T/C with an Comp-n-choke XXFull and I am shooting 3" #5 Federal Premium Mag Shok and I am getting good shot out to 53 yards. I also have a Benelli SBE 12 ga with an Comp-n-choke XXFull shooting 3" #5 FP Mag Shoks and I am getting good shot out to 65 yards....and the yardage is the only diff with the two gauges. I the only bad thing I have found is you spend a lot of money to get the gun or guns to pattern the way you want. To do it right you really need to buy a few diff chokes and a few diff brands and size and #shot and try them all out till you get the pattern you want with that guns. Learn the gun, Know the gun, Be the gun! Hee Hee best of luck and happy hunting!
  2. I would like to think Bill and Realtree is a Christian Manufacture....Family, Friends, and the Outdoors.....can't get anyomre Christian than that. I would also think David and Michael wouldn't be a close to Bill and Realtree if he wasn't!
  3. Whitewater.com has realtree camo you can try there and Cabelas has a coat and bibs from Walls that are Realtree Hardwoods on one side and the snow camo on the other. Don't remember if the Whitewater's are fleese or not. Good luck I had a hard time finding them in stock when I wanted some.
  4. Well, I can tell you this I live in Maryland and about 45 mins. outside of Washington DC where that bill was sign into act and the gun killing hasn't stopped there. Untill this year they weren't even allowed to own guns but that didn't stop then one second. So you tell me if he is right or wrong?!?!?

    WTB...Rest

    I think I still have my wisker bisquit that I took off my Mathews Switchback that you can have if you come get it or pay for shipping. Still like new! I went to a fall away rest this year. I see your in WV, where abouts we might be able to meet on the line? If not close, you pay I'll ship! Just let me know!
  7. Oh, I am still hunting just not on that land anymore. Washed my hands of that place. Found a new spot been having a better season then ever. No problems so far!!!!!!!!
  8. I went to Canada for a bear hunt not to long ago. And I drive a red Ford just like the one in the pic. I wonder if that was us???? LOL!!!!
  9. Great info and idea might just have to try that one out. Thanks for the input!
  10. Naa, its not that bad!!! Like I said before just had to vent!!!
  11. Well its like this its not my land. Its land that I have perission to hunt on. 8 guys plus myself have had rights to hunt this farm for years. The land owner says no one else has rights. the land is posted and we are the only ones who can hunt it. A few years ago we had our stands stolen.....we don't know for sure who took them but some of the guys said they had ideas. Then we would just ask the owner if he let anyone else hunt and he'd tell us no and to tell who ever it was to beat it. But see, this is the thing they would only go there when we weren't there. So who ya going to tell to get off the land. But we all have seen them leave there and had been told they were there by poeple that live near by, we'd find gut piles. Last year we called DNR they came asked them if they had rights to be there or not and they said they had notes.....I told DNR that they maybe fake but was told o'well they are not into finding out that as long as they had notes they were happy. The farmer says he didn't give anyone a note to hunt but us......but what to do since DNR dosen't care!!!! And the season hasn't even started and now we have had some of our cams stolen!!! As far as being threatened or feeling like a target on my back....not even close. I don't play that game!!! That is weak. Only weak people stoop to that low. When it dose I'll face it head on standin on my two feet.
  12. :mad::mad:I just can't take it anymore! I think I need to find something else to do these days.......cause I just can't take the BS anymore see here in Maryland we can take six bucks and 30 does. In the archery zone you can take as meny does as you want. This is no joke you can take deer till your blue in the face!!! Well, this is my problem the farm I hunt...plus the town I live in, has this group......we call them "the outlaws" that come onto everyone land and hunt, pooch, do whatever they want. When you try to turn them in to DNR they have some way of getting out of trouble. I just don't understand why they do this, there is lot of land around to hunt alot of deer to hunt and take but its like they want everything for themselfs. Well, this Monday is first day of Archery and I went to the farm last night to pull the cards on my trail cams.....well looks like "the outlaws" are now into stealing!!! I just don't under stand it with all the deer we can take here and the all the land in the area that you can hunt why is there so much breaking the law going on?!?!? It really just takes the fun out of hunting anymore!!! I don't care if I get meat to fill the freezer or a big rack buck to hang on the wall...shoot I don't care if I don't get anything just as long as I get to hunt!!! But, I guess not everyone can be like me!!! Sorry Guys and Gals just need to vent!?!?!?!:(:( p.s. Sorry the spelling and gramer it early!
  13. What sucks about this thing is that thanks to this **** one day hunting will come to a end for us guys and gals who do it by the book! And this **** and others like him will still be doing what he (they) do best.....POACHING!!!!! Thanks to you for turning him in and thanks to everyone who turns anyone who poaches in. I know I do every chance I get. If I see some **** breaking the law I call it in!!!!!! Here in Maryland the state lets us take deer till they are coming out our ears!!! But we still have guys breaking laws left and right!!! We can take up to 6 bucks, 2 at bow, 2 at muzzleloader, 2 at firearms.....all you got to do is take a buck then kill 2 does and you can have your second buck. Its the same for each season! And to top it off you can kill oh most all the does you want to. In some parts its unlimited doe during bow and bow runs from Sept. 15 till Jan. 31. But I know, I know its about the BONE thats what they want!!!!!! Maybe we need to open a season on Poachers! With an unlimited bag limit..........naa just playin with ya! I'm sure we wouldn't have much poaching at that point?!?! Thanks again for turning the **** in. I hope he gets the book thrown at him!!!!!
  14. Thats right the DXT is shorter then the Switchback. The Primos bow sling comes out of the box short like it will fit a bow with an axle height of 12 inches but it stretches out. It fits the 31 inches of the Switchback and looks to have alittle more room. Steve's right you can always take it back.
  15. its fits my switchback very well. I don't see why it wouldn't fit the DXT!
