Siwash

I have tried it with Slick Tricks and not noticed any major issues. Just make sure you get the mesh as TIGHT as it can be across the window.

Nice bear congrats! There are archery permit hunts in a few of the southern units right now.

SOLD.

another PM sent.

I have an Infinity. Great bow: fast, quiet, balanced. Did you buy it online? I think there is only one dealer in the entire state.

I tried hunting the OTC archery hunt for a weekend on the Rim last May. We had Toms call back right at sunrise but none that would come in...except for the one making a beeline to us that suddenly stopped right after we heard a loud shotgun blast in the same direction he was gobbling from Anyway, If calling them in isn't working do your best to locate a flock or gobbling Tom and find water in the area. They have to drink every day. Find out where they are doing it and set up a blind or stand and wait. I didn't get a bird last year but did get to see a small herd of timber antelope come to the tank I was on as well as a lone cow elk. Watching those animals made the weekend for me. Good luck.

Revolver SOLD. Dies SOLD

This is always an awesome shoot and everyone is very friendly.

This is a good deal. Where did you get that tripod mount?

One more to the top. I will be brining this bow to the Desert Archers shoot tomorrow at the Tucson Mt. Park in anyone would like to shoot it.

The Desert Archers are hosting a fun 3D archery shoot this weekend at the Tucson Mt. Park. The shoot has two 15 target courses and you are welcome to shoot each course as many times as you like. Registration begins Saturday around 10am and the courses close around 5. Sunday the courses open at 7am and close around 1pm. We hope to see you there! For more info and directions please visit desertarchers.com

It doesn't look pretty but the price is right and these things work really well: http://www.amazon.com/Limbsaver-Slip-On-10545-Recoil-black/dp/B000W8FOME/ref=pd_sim_sg_1

Then avoid the Berger VLDs and Nosler Ballistic Tips. In my experience they shoot really well but they act like grenades on Coues deer. If you are going to buy new dies go for the Reddings over RCBS...I sold my RCBS and got some Reddings and they are much easier to use. My Tikka .300WSM likes R22 and IMR4350, I'd start at 60 grains and work up but 62-62.5 grains of either powder seems to be the sweet spot for me with 150-180 grain bullets.

Sweet pics. No expert either, still trying to learn myself, but the gap between the ground and his stomach make me think it is a younger bear. At the same time his ears seem to be fairly well offset from his head, which makes me reconsider. Curious to hear what others think.

Bump. I know there is a lefty out there who needs a nice recurve.

Do you handload or shoot factory? I have tried several handloads in my .300 WSM and finally decided on 165 gr Nosler Accubonds as my go to bullet for everything in AZ.

If you do buy a Triclawps make sure you check the action screws and scope mounts following shooting. I have the older model, the "Claw" and have experienced some issues with action screw movement...it was on a 50's era Model 700 BDL wood stock that probably should be pillar bedded or replaced period, but still something to be aware of when you are using one.

Man that's the dilemma with hunting with a single pin site. I think if you are in a blind or hunt out of a stand it is a good option. If you spot and stalk you know its inherent flaws. If you shoot a really fast arrow you could try keeping your slider pin at like 35 and learning the holder under-over from 20-50yds if you have to take a rushed shot and don't have time to change the pin, but personally I don't see that as an ideal compromise.

Post updated. Also have a Jimmy's Rest for rifles that screws into a tripod head, same as on the CWT store. $15.

Cleaned out my closet and have a few things for sale. Everything is in Tucson. Not really interested in shipping. 1. Sold Slik compact tripod head with one quick release plate.

140 grain Accubond. If you handload try it over H4831sc.

Congrats on your tag. The PSE Vendetta goes to 32" and has a 7" BH and the Evo 7 is also 7" BH and goes to 31" They are both very quiet. If you are in the market shoot a variety of bow brands and find out what is best for you.

Got hit for $228. I put a friend and cousin in for cow, and separately I put my pal and I in for trophy bull...I'm hoping to see $228 turn into $456 soon!

one more time to the top

I have a very nice Longbow for sale. Bow is a lefty and is 66" in length and draw weight is 50# at 28" Limbs and tips are in excellent condition. This bow was made by Gene Barrick out of Phoenix. I bought it at Corner Archery many years ago. I always receive compliments on it from the trad. crowd but I am thinking about switching to a recurve for the times when I get the stick and string bug. These bows go for $400 new. I'm asking $225 for mine. I'm in Tucson but may be in the Valley in the next few weeks, or could arrange for a sale at the Rumble in the Rocks 3D next weekend.
