    Too much bullet?

    Nope I agree. If I find nothing today, I am gonna sight in my 7-08. I still think its too much bullet for these small deer. When I get a chance will re-work up my 308 and see if anything is wrong.

    Too much bullet?

    Sorry it might not have been clear in my post. 308 Win. Shooting Federal Edge TLR 175 gr. I am guessing based on barrel length and ballistics that mine is shooting 2500 fps at the barrel. Have not chrono'ed it but the shots I have taken seem to support that muzzle velocity.

    Too much bullet?

    Thank you for the lecture... Not what I was asking for. Maybe you should get your facts straight before doing so. The gun has been used for 2 years straight with a known load that shoots .75 MOA through it. It is either kept in a hard pelican case or in my safe. I built it myself and know it...

    Too much bullet?

    About a week ago I took a shot on a deer at about 200 yards. I normally can tell immediately watching through my scope if an animal is hit. This one stood still post shot (oddly) then walked into a trot off. At the time I thought the reaction weird. I walked down and walked around in decent...

    Doe Pruning - 200+ standing, unsupported off-hand shot

    Friend needed a herd of does pruned a bit on his farm. Was walking the back pasture when they popped out the opposite side and ran to the back fence. Took a nice easy 200 yard standing, unsupported, off hand shot. Dropped in place. Good day of hunting and shooting. Yep that's a Caldwell Carbon...

    6.5 Banned on Elk by Outfitters?

    I am sorry, but I said THAT part of my response was slightly baiting... Not in a trolling sense, but in a "please know your sh!t before you reply" sense. And playing DA (devils advocate) is trolling as well. Was it additive or informative to the thread? No. I would be happy for you to do that...

    Saddle Hunting Lightweight... Huh?

    I thought the same. Had a nice climber and a hang-on. But after I got use to saddle hunting I love it. It may be a gimmick, but it is one I will stick with. I am a big guy and those small lightweight tree stands were just miserable for me. Saddles aren't.

    6.5 Banned on Elk by Outfitters?

    And you might try coming out of the closet as a 6.5 fan boy. I am only an AH when someone reads what they want into what I write then acts like an AH first... Good luck with that though. There are those of us out there who put on our big boy pants every day and are tired of the trolling.

    6.5 Banned on Elk by Outfitters?

    Check your glasses.... You either misread or didn't freaking read. I guess "BIG CALIBER" means 7-08 - which is nearly an identical twin to the 6.5 CM?? If so, then yes I said BIG CALIBER as I SAID that was my favorite. Or is BIG CALIBER the meager 308 Win? Really?? The only place I supported...

    6.5 Banned on Elk by Outfitters?

    The 6.5 fanboy crew kills me... You would think any comment not of the genre "God created the 6.5 and it is THE best" they jump on with both feet and big spiky golf shoes!! You would think I just said, that god doesn't exist... Cracks me up EVERY time... Calm down fan boys. I said it was a...

    6.5 Banned on Elk by Outfitters?

    Ok gonna start a caliber war here... Look, I have nothing against the 6.5C - actually my favorite all around round is the 7-08 which by the way WAS the 6.5C not too many years ago. And if you look at the ballistic closely those two bullets are neck and neck except where you get to "paper...

    .001, .003, .006 Arrows Technically Why?

    Amen brother... I wasn't going to throw that variable into my argument, but considered it. Not just wraps... try all these: 1. Tip to Insert edges; insert to shaft edges 2. Wraps 3. The variable glue thickness of the vanes on a shaft 4. nock to shaft edges 5. Various size nock protrusions...

    Bowtech Support - Does it have to be this hard?

    Maybe, maybe not... I have big sausage fingers. It's why I didn't become a brain surgeon :)

    Now that's a decent point. Thank you BG!

    Bowtech Support - Does it have to be this hard?

    Not asking for a barrel. Do you always use exaggerated extrapolations of things to justify lashing out? I asked for a string replacement for the sting that was bad. More like asking for the triggers that Remington ARE replacing because they killed people... Or even more like a trigger guard...

    Bowtech Support - Does it have to be this hard?

    I have the materials and tools to reserve... But that is my time and energy on a new string that should be "right". And it is not a skill I have practiced much to date. It's kind of like you buying your latest [Kuiu, First Lite,...] greatest $500 jacket and then you realize they screwed the...

    Bowtech Support - Does it have to be this hard?

    That's a rather dickish comment on the surface, but I will bite... Why would they not want me to press and replace my own string?? While I am not awesome like you with bows, I have replaced enough strings to know how - more so it is not rocket science. Furthermore, why should I have to take the...

    Bowtech Support - Does it have to be this hard?

    The bow industry is retarded... My nearest Matthews dealer is over an hour away. My nearest Bowtech right at an hour away. Most people have it that way unless they live in a big city or a archery/hunting mecca. I have worked with shops from NC to Montana and the quality differs greatly among...
