Hi all, I'm having trouble hitting too high. I'm shooting a CVA Accura PNW with a 209 primer conversion - I just liked it with the fiber optic "Iron" sights. So I'm shooting 100gn of Blackhorn 209 under a 290gn Barnes spit-fire TMZ. I have the back sight backed all the way down but I seem to...
Mild flavor, quite dry unless you baby it. I d
Mild but good. Very lean bird so easy to come out dry unless you baby it. I made a Mexican Posole with the legs that came out very good. I'd recommend brining the breast overnight and either slow cooking or going for a schnitzel recipe. I'd repeat...
I had a little adventure hunting Peacocks recently and learned a thing or two, but am just scratching the surface. Here is the read: https://timetogowild.com/stories/peacocks-in-paradise . Enjoy!
I agree with @Macintosh about the premise of the question being off. If you have any leanings against trad gear for the effectiveness argument at all - you can't stop there, you'd have to throw out ALL archery, and pretty much any hand-held weapon. If your measure of success is swift, sure...
That's some low density area there - good work on tough public land! I've hunted near there but never in the forest itself, it takes some good scouting to find the right spotst there. Beautiful bow too, did you build it yourself?
It may seem like pointless info to write down until you have many years worth of local data to compare long-term weather changes and such to. You can learn a lot about what did and what didn't work in your area over the years. Warren Womack kept scrupulous records and his journals became a...
Find the "Masters of the Barebow" series - they are priceless, I think you can find several volumes together on Ebay.
Check out Tradgang.com and search their forums - they run very deep and long. If you have questions as you come up, they've all been asked and answered on the "Powow" forum...
Now now everyone, you can disagree but play nice.
The thing to remember about Ashby is that he ranked perfect arrow flight as No.2 and total arrow weight as No. 6! Not even top 5! All he said was it makes a difference, not that it was a total necessity.
Having a perfectly tuned arrow (as...
I think the best I heard on this one was from a target archer who said that ALL Olympic-level competitive archers - ALL OF THEM shoot both eyes open. Not saying you can't shoot with one eye, but if you had to pick a rationale for going with one over the other I think that's pretty solid...
I've been tossing one of those around in my mind for a while now - have you tried different loads? Can you load a slug in that puppy?
My secret desire is to take one of those to the skeet range and jump in the rotation with a few folks and obnoxiously reload between rounds and hold everyone...
