I've always thought it made the arrow less forgiving? I remember being told the longer vanes were better for hunting situations due to the increased forgiveness and the shorter vanes were more suited to target shooters? Is that true? JIM> Yes this is true with most small vanes. But the blazer vanes were made for broadheads. I did not believe they would work until I tried them. I have shot 100gr Montecs at 300fps with blazers out to 50yards with no problems at all.

Hey Bret They do what the long vanes do but with out the added weight of the long vanes. Less weight at the nock end makes more F.O.C. weight and better arrow flight. Also makes the arrow a little lighter for more speed or flatter shooting bow.

If you do use alcohol use denatured alcohol. This is what we use and it works great.

Good to here you all were drawn! I got some more points this year.Woohoo!!

Hey Dave I ended up 404 for the weekend. Just tried to play it safe for the Triple Crown buckle and did get that. I think I ended up tied for 4th or 5th for the Happening. There were some great shooters this year. Got to hang out with some new and old friends it was a great time! Iam sure I will see you around sometime.

After the comp. shoot and a bite to eat I will be in the first booth on the right as you come in the tent most of the day. I will be the good looking blond guy in the black Hoyt hat.LOL!! Hopefully I will still have a smile on my face after shooting. Hope I can meet some of you in person.

Could post some pics of ourselves on here or a new thread. I will let someone else start it though!

Thanks Dave Maybe I will see you up there.

Dave I find it much easier to catch up than stay in the lead alot less pressure. I love the lake its the other course I don't do as well with.

Red Rabbit, I am sitting in first for the Triple Crown in the Hunter Class by 15 points. It would be nice to get both but would be very very happy with one. But as we all know in this sport anything can happen as I learned this weekend in Sunrise. Just need to shoot my best and what happens happens. Dave, I wish I could have added wrong in my favor but they double score!LOL!!

Red Rabbit, I shot 2 the first day 149 with 2- 0's and 3 on Sun 170. I can not remember the last time I missed a target completely let alone 2. The up and downhills killed me I think. Redman, That was my truck parked behind the building all weekend. Kinda funny the fun shoot courses got lots of rain and we just got a sprinkle on the comp. course Sun. just over the hill.

This was great shoot. Some of the best courses I have shot. Just wish my scores showed it. I did ok the 2nd day but the first day was a humbling experience. I did not get a chance to shoot the fun courses but sounds like you guys had fun. I hope to get off work to go next year but the holidays are hard to get off. This was my first year to make it there and can not wait to go back.

For those who don't know each other we need to carry big sighn's BOWNUT FROM CW.COM

Whats wrong with USO I book hunts with them all the time. NOT!!!!!! downthebarrel17, Welcome once again. I think the next 5 years or so will tell a lot. I for one feel that what we enjoy "I hate the word "SPORT" will get to the point were the average guy will not be able to afford to hunt. You know the population will continue to grow but I do not think jobs in the state will keep up and the growth should slow down. I hope. We keep growing Monster Bulls and Huge Bucks here and we will never get drawn or be able to afford it! LOL!!!!

OUCH!!!!

Thats An Awesome Coues, Congrats

There were a few guys from NM there the last couple years. The guy that won the hunter class last year is from Farmington I believe. He is in second this year there are some great shooters there in NM. Usery Mountain Archers is having a warm up shoot the Sunday before the Williams shoot if anyone is interested let me know. This will be an early morning shoot before it gets to hot.

I can not wait myself. BUT always remember the little guys. Keep your local guys in business.

Mr. Daily, Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you! If you can send me your hunt number we will make sure it gets added to your application. Tammy O'Brien Automated License Systems Phone 1-888-773-8450 Fax 1-615-263-4271 tobrien@als-xtn.com This is the e-mail I got back from the web master when I sent them a message that it was not asking for my license number. I just quit and made the trip to Game and Fish and put them in the bucket with all the other pink Stetson Rhinestone Cowboys That was good DesertBull I think I saw that guy down there.

http://www.worldhunt.com/ Just wanted to let you all see this. I find this kinda disturbing myself but wanted to get some more opinions. What will they think of next! Hunting for MONEY!!!!!! I found this on another forum and there has been on overwhelming response. Also there are a lot of major hunting manufactures that have jumped on this as sponsors. Please let me know what you think.This is totally against what I was taught about hunting and the reasons I hunt.

Just to let you know G5 and all the sponsors I posted earlier have pulled out and will not support the World BLUNTING Assn. in there new TV show!!!
