Honesty with an older bow like that, I would stick to the aluminums. They didnt have the technology they have now back then, so even if you get an increase in speed, Id stay with the aluminums for the increased penetration.

Then to me it dont matter what it scores!

If your implying shooting them anyways, I think your in the wrong place. We dont stand for breaking game laws, even if they are foolish. You have to play by the rules, no matter how stupid they are.

The instinct isnt going to be avaialble next year. The code was last made last year if I remember right. I have an instinct and its honestly the sweetest shooting, questest, most forgiving bow in its class. I have 800 bucks in mine and that with the bow, a double case, and the best accesories money can buy. Pro's are the cost, the speed, the generous brace height, the super short axle to axle, and the lack of noise. the cons, I havent found one yet. As for the code, Im pretty sure they dont make them anymore. My proshop guy (and friend) says that Fred Bear inc has said that there worst bow this year is better than their top of the line bow last year. They have some real humdingers ligned up for next year according to their website.

That happened to me two years ago. My new bow had a regular peep on it and it turned twice now, so I said the heck with it and had plastic thing mounted above my peep and then the tubing attaches to it. For the few feet per second I lost, I want the peace of mine knowing it will be there when I need it. Im willing to lose even 10 fps to not have to worry about it.

I dont know the whys and hows, i just know that Ive used it for two years, shot an 8 pointer last year on the same trail I walked in on, and then sunday night I shot a doe (unfortunetly I didnt recover her) directly downwind of me and had sweated a fair amount on the walk in. Im sure there are other recipes, but this seems to work and its cheap. For a savings of 2 bucks, why leave out the peroxide and soap?

What an offer guys, my bow has them and they are saweeeet! Better get on this one fast!

Excellent, I was wondering where the rest of the team was. We should get a couple of names and do some voting on what we like, and maybe an avitar that we can use in our signatures like the ohter teams. Its time we start representing!

Thats great!!!!

I hear ya, I had that same thing happening to me all summer and its still going on. It typically only happens when Im at work, I think its the pour ventalation. Im on about every allergy med that has ever been made. I have to have one of those tests done where they expose you to tons of allergies and see what bothers you, and they said ill more than likely be on shots each week soon. Ive missed a ton of work because of this, it does no good when your in customer service to be sniffling and sneezing and runny nose and eyes watering all day every day. I hope you get to feeling better, it sure sucks dont it!

Well I went and looked for her at first light this morning. I found my arrow and the little bit of blood that was on it had washed off. I saw several peices of gray hair on the fletches, and a fair amount on the montec. The last 6 or 8 inches of the arrow had white tallow or fat on it. I knew there was no chance of a blood trail isnce we got over an inch of rain last night. I just started gridding the area and looking in all the brushy spots. I did not find any sign and eventually abandoned search. I tried for several hours but it was just about impossible to cover every inch of the hill as its so brushy, but I give it my best attempt and hopefully she lived. Im thinking being there was little blood, and gray hair and white tallow, I think I hit her low, maybe in the bottom of the brisket where all that fat is. I hate losing a deer, but I felt like I did right by backing out last night even with the rain, because there was maybe an hour from the shot until rain, so I figured pursuing her right away might just push her further and then Id have even less to go on. I feel bad and guilty about not finding her, I just hoped she lived.

Im trying to put us on the board, I shot a doe last night but had to back out because I think I gutshot her, so Im heading out here in a few minutes to go get her. It poured last night so its going to be a hardtracking job I think.

Trails end 307 and primetime two drop supreme are real good right now.

I forgot to mention, I was shooting a bow set at 65 pounds, and I had an easten full metal jacket arrow with a 100 grain montec on it, so where ever I hit her, she has a 1 1/8 hole in her. I feel good about the shot, and then a second later I feel like crap.

Long story short, I had a nice doe come in tonight and gave me a broadside shot at 35 yards. I had to kneel on my platform to clear a limb to get an arrow to her and it wasnt a real easy shot. As soon as I shot her she turned and ran back up the hill at a 45 degree angle from where she was. She didnt run far and I didnt hear her crash, but I didnt hear her run up the rest of the hill either. I got down right away as it was nearly dark and I found my arrow, and it had some real slight pinkish watery blood on the feltches, and some gray hair. (put it this way, when I first found the arrow, I thought it was clean, but then when I picked it up I saw the blood and hair. Now heres the dilema, I treated it like a gut shot deer and I backed out immediately and decided to give her the night. What I didnt know at the time was it was about to storm. So now I have what I think is a gutshot doe, and a thunderstorm going on, washing away any blood she left. Its also around 60 degrees out, although the rain cooled it down a little. Im going to go in first light in the morning and try to find her, but what else should I do. The closest water was 100 yards from where I shot her, and she ran the opposit way, and the next water from there would be 500 yards or so away. Anyone think she'd head there, or do you think shed bed down and stay put? When I first shot it sounded like a crack, then she acted hurt, then she trotted off like nothing happened. The hill she went up is fairly steep, so hopefully it will be toomuch for her. Also, assuming I find her tomorow morning anyone think the meat will still be good?

Heres two very important tips to remember as a first time bowhunter: 1.) dont judge a succesful hunt by a kill, judge it on seeing deer and getting close, the shot will come sooner or later. 2.) Watch your scent and be concerned about it at all times, take every scent precaution step that you can, it will help seal the deal. Once you learn those two tips, the deer will start hitting the ground. It took me 5 years to get my first bow dear, and surprisingly enough, I shot one the first year I didnt care aboot shots, instead I just wanted to see deer and get close. That same year I also started watching my scent, and guess what, that year it all came together!

p-38s were always my plane (and to think Im 23 lol), and the mustang was my second. Ive seen them fly at EAA in Oshkosh, but yet to see the p-38 lightning fly. Let me tell you, bowseason can wait one day to watch them warbirds take flight. You have goot to remember that these are becoming more and more rare and opprtunities are becoming harder and harder to find.

My gf asked why I was laughing, I told her a guy got chased by a squiirel! I can laugh, but dont dare tell her why I was laughing!!!!

I have a bunch of reloading equipment that I dont use anymore, so I thought Id put it out on here. I have the following: Lee load all II' presses in 12, 16 and 20 gauge (these new are $58 each, the 16 gauge has never been used) lymon scale (estimated used value of $30) lee powder dippers($11) case trimmer (its really old, not sure of the brand) several manuals, one is the abc's of reloading (super informative), the other is a lee book, and there are several recipe books roll crimper (for loading slugs or loads with roll crimps) I also have lee classic loaders (hand presses that hold world records for accuracy, but they are slow) is the following calibers: 30-30 win,.243 win, 30-06 springfield,.357 magnum,.30 carbine I also have case care tools (champerfing tool, lock stud and cutter, primer pocket cleaner, etc)) that are worth around 10 or 12 bucks new). There may be more that would further make this deal even better that I havent come across(the stuff is at my parents house, Ill have the complete list tommorow) If you bought all this new, youd have around $410 bucks in this operation (and Im sure there are more that I have forgotton that I had that Ill also include for the same price. All of this stuff is in great shape as I took very good care of these, but just dont have the space or the time to reload anymore. I am looking to get $225 plus shipping, or I might be open to some trades (Im for sure open to a bitzenburger fletching jig, other fletching tools, hunter safety system harness, atv accesories, or Id also trade for a scent lok or scent blocker suit or possiby other stuff of equal value). (I also know there are some cast bullets for .30 cal, and possibly other calibers) as well as tons of empty shells(500ish) and wads. Everything except powder and primers go (they are hazardous and cant be shipped without special permits).

Im using a ground max eclipse. I would say this is the next best blind in line behind a double bull. It has rock solid hubs, fast set up, decent size inside, and its 100 bucks. From what ive found with the spring steel pop open blinds(Ameristep), they flap a lot in the wind and they dont fit back in there case very well. The other thing is the hub blinds (pick a brand), seldom need to be staked whereas the spring steel blinds almost always have to be staked.

I bought some last year, never again. Yeah they are cheap as dirt, but they only last a week or so once you crack the seal. I had intended on using it in a dripper over a scrape, a week later it didnt have hardly any smell to it at all.

I bought one this spring, and I picked it over bows that were a lot more money. I love how short fast and smooth it is. I had the money to buy a Hoyt or Matthews or bowtech, but picked up an instinct and fell in love immediately. I gave it a team extreme sight, whisker biscuit droptine rest, alpine stabilizer (the one with the bullets in it), an alpine cable slide, limbsaver cable dampener, a satilight bow quiver, and some of the mini limbsavers. this bow is kicking out arrows at nearly 300 fps, and it is 32 inches axle to axle, and shes smooth as butter. In all honestly, it is truley the best bow fitting bow Ive ever shot. I have around 800 in mine, thats with the bow (399) and the rest was all in the accesories. I think it is very smiliar to a Matthews with half the pricetag. Fred Bear really outdid themselves on this bow.

I would recoomend a .308. Its very comparible to a 243 with a lot more oomph, but around the same recoil. I have used a remington 742 semi auot 308 that a friend of mines dad has, and its a great little gun with hardly any recoil, the semi auto part of it further abosorbed some of it up.

3 777 pellets are too many, thats eq to like 180 grains.
