Archery Terms You Hate

[Rob5589]

It feels like pure laziness and it infuriates me. It may also be about getting the light needed for camera footage for a show. That just encourages bad sportsmanship. The meat is spoiled by the time many of those animals are recovered and it is totally unnecessary.

Plus the fact that leaving it over night could very well lead to it being stolen by a WKR.

 

[LostArra]

"The arrow hit A LITTLE BACK"

Dictionary.com : Gut Shot, get all your flashlights.

 

[TheTone]

Master class, e-scouting, summit, camp or any of the other pay for the secrets to success events being sold by insta-famous hucksters

 

[enemyway]

"shot broke low" (or high or left/right). Nope u missed.

 

[Geewhiz]

Im not sure if were still or terms or just excuses in general. If we're on excuses, one I hear often is that the shooter didn't take into account the steep uphill or downhill angle. Sorry, still your fault.

 

[>>arrow>]

Xguns used in reference to bow hunting.

 

[Trumpkin The Dwarf]

Not archery specific, but I want to dry fire the bow of whichever knucklehead popularized the term "rip"... seriously. "Like, lets go for a quick rip, brah". Shut up. Hand me that Hoyt, and stand back.

 

[Billy Goat]

I'm still laughing about the stumping with field points.


Maybe we need a, dumbest chit you have done thread.

 

[Billy Goat]

Glad you guys think that’s funny. I had to dig my arrow out of a black hills ponderosa pine for 20 minutes and then pry my insert out with a knife, “ 10 ringed” that stump though.

There's your ten ring...

 

[Finn16]

"Let the air out of him" for a double lung shot.

 

[Btaylor]

"Let the air out of him" for a double lung shot.

#kilt him to death

2. While I get the meaning…the context of “I have history” cracks me up. Just makes it seem like you two play cards every Thursday.

With elk, it's more like chess several times throughout each season.

I'm still laughing about the stumping with field points.

Rookie mistake. Everyone knows you've got to use your BH's.

 

[Finn16]

Not sure if this one was already listed or not but the all time favorite excuse when someone has elk spook is the wind switched on me, "Everything was going as planned until I felt a slight breeze on the back of my neck and it was all over within a matter of seconds. All I needed was for him to take one more step".

 

[OR Archer]

Ok this one isn’t archery but hunting. Comparing Turkeys to elk. “Bulls of spring” just stop that nonsense

 

[Btaylor]

So how ya feel about "yelped up a bull this morning" ??

 

[Billy Goat]

Man around here guys are like, it's just like turkey hunt, but bigger animals.



Just a matter of perspective.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

I don't know what the term "smoke shot" means, but I'm pretty sure I hate it.

 

[AkRyan]

If you “run” 2 pink fletchings and one brown, you can call it the shocker

Omg

 

[Stevendearden]

I’m going to be running a ‘insert arrow name’. What spine do I need for 28% FOC with a COC. Ill be shooting 76# with a 25” draw. I’ll need to tune my form and bow in order to get my FP’s to hit with broadheads out to 111 yards. Though my effective range is 30 yard if I want a for sure pump house double lung booya smoked him ethnical organic harvest. Should I run a slider or fixed pin? How long should I wait to let him expire if I only found poop on my arrow?

Just a random compilation of jargon I see in the archery world.

This has to be the funniest thing I’ve read all day
