too_pointer Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: Need Suggestions Luke, first of all, you need a coonscin hat for your top. Then you need a camo jacket made of skunk so you blend in. I don't care what you wear for the bottom, the rest will take care of it !! Now, you don't have to wear this at the range, just hunting good luck bud !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: Need Suggestions LOL! Don't forget to have your gun dipped in your favorite Realtree pattern. It will shrink the groups by at least 30%. Along those lines if you add a Realtree license plate or sticker to your ruck your milage will go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: Need Suggestions [ QUOTE ] A new bow You guys seem to buy a new one every year !! Pick out a good one LOL. [/ QUOTE ] LOL.. Mine will be 3 yrs old this fall.... And my youngest nephew (13) wants to give archery a try, so he's going to inherit my Alpine which is just like NEW.... Luckily he's a Lefty like me so he won't have to have his parents spend the extra on a lefty bow... but he's been told already that this isn't a toy and needs to practiced with under my or his grandfathers supervision, so the bow will stay right here until his parents and I feel he's ready to bring it home..

Guest iamuzzyhunter Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Re: Need Suggestions I have a Huntsman like that only blued finish. Mine likes 100gr of Pyrodex or 777 loose and 250 gr. T/C Shockwave. I agree with a previous post to start with 80 grains of powder and work up to find the most accurate load. Just because you gun can shoot 150 grains of powder doesn't mean that would be the best load for your gun. Have fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
