I don't know, dang thing flew off before I got a shot!

Funny Todd! I love to make a little woodie shrill and watch their ears perk up.

Ttt

You can always just shoot them in the spring and pose for a pic to get some forum props.

Now figure out what you can pull. You will end up with either 50-60 lb limbs or 60-70 most likely, unless you get one of the few models like the razor edge with way more adjustment.

Very good! Like others have said, you'll always remember your first.

Sure is, click the link and sign up! Need one more to make team 8.

Nice Chris. I have a couple buddies that are also addicted to junk yard trips. With the high price of scrap iron these days, folks are dragging in old farm implements like crazy for a little cash.

I wouldn't give them the time of day. Check out your local/state forums and find someone nearby to help you out. It's not rocket science, but having a mentor makes a world of difference. You may not have a shop close by, but there are gobs of folks that do bow work out of their garage that would more than likely help you out for nothing. Most likely you also have an Iowa bowhunters association forum as well that would be helpful. Anyone true to the sport should be glad to help another sportsman to get started.

They are foolproof and very tuff. Killed 2 does last year with them. I was impressed with how strong they were, one blew through a legbone and the blades hardly looked like they had been shot. I was not impressed with the blood trail/wound channels though. Not a bad head, but not a keeper for me though.

Good luck young man, looks like you're prepared!

Was camping once on the river. We were doing a little bass fishing when I got a hard pull on the line. Fought for the longest and finally got "it" up before my line broke. I couldnt believe it but when it rolled at the top of the water, I saw fur. I thought, ok, no big deal, probably hung an otter or beaver. After the line broke though I saw a trail of bubbles headed for the bank. This thing crawled up out of the water about the size of an otter, but when it got up on the bank, it stood on its hind legs, then walked over to a tree and climbed it! We sat in the boat speechless. I decided to go back to the camp, which was close by and get a light and a 22 (it was getting dark) and go back and shoot the thing to figure out what it was. We did just that. When we pulled the boat up to the bank and got out, you could see the eyes shining in the light. I raised the rifle and found him with my scope.

We need just a few more to sign up to make one final team, sign-ups are here: http://www.realtree.com/forums/announcements-online-contests/109352-2012-2013-realtree-forum-deer-contest-sign-up.html

+1 with squirrels/rodents. Too bad you didn't get pics if the perp in action!

Any shop that wanted to charge for telling you draw length should be ashamed. What a crock.

Alan you really need to get to a shop and find out your draw length. True enough you may find out a bow has so many inches of draw length, but you will also find out many models require modules to change draw length. Narrow your search by first getting more details of what fits you. Lots of folks out there like me that get rid of perfectly good equipment for a fraction of what we put into it. You should really do your part first and find out your length and draw weight. What happens when you buy a bow with 60-70lb limbs and you discover you can't draw 60?

Yessir, and he will have a big gun too. Running is bad for you, knees are only good for so many miles, trying to keep mine in good shape lol.

Amen brother. The list is not something that can be finished at my house, always something to be done. She just realizes things are going to be done at a much slower pace come 10-1.

Don't be a pansy. Good luck chasing cats.

Personally Alan I would wait and keep looking.

Post a pic Alan. Diamond and Darton are two different brands. Draw length and weight are what you need to find out first.

Have a safe remainder of the trip Steve! Glad you had some fun, you've been through the ringer lately, you earned that break for sure.

Almost got a full team. Need two more, all the other members are participating, so hopefully we won't need any more alternates. Pointingdogsrule MikeBohio toddyboman Bowmadness2186 bowhuter42 Wgumz Smitteke
