Hunting Fun

@edstar83 eah,…. my interests of the bow lie in the same legue as the windlass, the matchlock and th culverin.

@elgostine an arrow isn’t a bullet, its not going to go clean through the skull for instant kill. anyway thats what another hunter said. I wouldn’t know. I love achery. I love my recurve. but i’ve never shot at an animal and I never plan on doing so. peace.

@edstar83 that seems contradictory, if you hit the head you, can break into the brain, and almost make it lights out instantly

@ViralMessiah haha! ok whatever.. good luck turkeys have been clocked running 27 mph.

@hitshitthefan If you want a real challenge,why don’t you chase him down and kill him with a stick? people who talk about “challenge” are mostly full of shit,if you want it to be challenging,get rid of the camo,jumo out of a tree,and strangle the deer to death

damn perfect shot

@fishnkid1923 i dont like tabs. I would go with a three fingered glove if i were you.. much more comfy.. dont even notice it, and it stays on no problem.. they’re also pretty cheap.. i got mine several years ago and i think it was like ten bucks or so

i hope you know that most people DONT shoot at 60 yards..or farther..
the longest shot i will take at a deer is 40 yards…and im pretty good.
about 75% of shots are under 40 yards…
btw i killed my deer from 7 yards this year…my first deer..and first with a bow…and first buck…and i killed a coyote from 40 yards a week later…(with bow)

I am trying a recurve this year…i practice with it everyday,i dont have a shooting tab,and i can hit milkjugs at 20 yards..haha,need a tab!!

@fishnkid1923 well they are easier than recurves. im pretty good with a recurve so im good for hunting within around twenty yards.. most people with compounds can shoot up to 60 + yards at deer and such… i gave my compound away and never looked back

compounds arent “lame”…
and they are not easy either…
300 win mags with 10 power scopes are easy..the reason bowhunting is challenging is mostly just getting in close…
I shoot a compound and it is not very hard to get good groups,but compounds are different than recurves..compounds are more precise,you have to know,or geuss the range to know where to put the pin,it causes stress that makes you miss sometimes..recurves are mostly instinct,no stress,draw and shoot

dicks,mcsports,bass pro shops,cabelas,gander mountain…mayb walmart….buy a box call…easy to learn

going on my first turkey hunt so can anyone tell me where to buy a turkey call but not online any sporting goods stores

@fishnkid1923 exactly why traditional is better.. plus we do have issues. String issues, wooden limb issues, things like that..
compounds are lameeeee

@fishnkid1923 ha these only go like 70 yards look up a flu flu vid

i would NEVER shoot an arrow up in the air…well,never again…haha,those suckers go HIGH…i cant even see them when they go up

@fishnkid1923 nope got it in january so i’ve been
just shooting the target and made some foam
things to throw in the air and shoot with my flu flus
shot some suckers bowfishing with this old
compound i have on sunday though :-p

haha,i made a bow a few days ago from an oak sapling and paracord….it is not very good,i MIGHT b able to hit a rabbit from 15-20 yards..hav u killed anything with ur recurve or watever u have

@fishnkid1923 no haha i shot like 2 feet high above the target lol

cool…bet you didnt have to worry about any pins…haha

@fishnkid1923 plus i made a target to
outdoor olympic specs for ranges up to 90 meters and its pretty fun i was shooting at like 70 yards or so and its really hard with wood arrows HAHA :-p

@Donohuet7 see like i’ve been trying to tell him
there is like a mountain of challenges with trad gear than with any compound

@fishnkid1923 yah we have to worry about stuff like that too we can tweak the string a lil with our shooting glove or finger tab.
now that i’ve started shooting more accuracy doesn’t seem that tough anymore its the choosing the distance or conditions to take a shot at a deer where they aren’t going to jump the string. cause like i said i can see my arrow rotating its so slow

o,damn..i read that “donohuet7″ guys comment because i couldnt find urs..haha
ive shot my dads recurve (bear)
and i could get several 4-6″ groups at 20or 25 yards..i dont remember, but i can tell you that if you have been shooting a recurve for a long time then it would b really easy .. with compounds u have to worry about string creep,torque,pins(which to use and where to place it),etc.
if u were using a recurve all do is pull it back and use instinct and let it fly..no stress

dude i do not use a compound where are you getting this from no it’s not easy for me i can see my arrow rotating its so slow

i dont use a mathews….thats y it is easy for you…can you kill a deer almost every time you get in range of one…probly,,,i shoot a parker sidekick xp..it is a youth bow…short draw lengths,…50 lb draw wt….

i can hit a basketball from 60 yards with it..pretty hard,but i can…still,i cant kill deer from that far,and i wouldnt try…i have to get in close to get good penetration and a quick kill…it is tougher for me
