    help tuning bow

    I skipped the beer and went for the Jack Daniels. I took the bow to the local pro shop and they looked it over and measured everything and couldn't see anything visually wrong. Put the wisker/Broom back on and got it a little better but not perfect. I have no more patience left. I messed with it for an hour and it was 114 degrees outside so I just about got heat stroke. I could get bullets most of the time on paper and even got a pretty good pattern at 20 yards but occasionally one arrow would stray off and even the ones that patterned well visually flew funny like with a wiggle. Gonna check the arrows and try again in the morning when it is cooler. Thanks for the help. 1.Mathew LX 2.5575 gold tip hunter 3.Whisker 4.montek g5 5.67lbs 6.100gr 7.27" Does anyone shoot the whisker with G5 that pattern well?

    help tuning bow

    Thanks for the quick response. I just last week took off the whisker and put on the octane rest to try it and I am wondering if I am having some clearance issues now. The paper tuning was also not exactly perfect. It took forever partly because it was way off to start but mainly because I'm an idiot and I kept moving the rest the wrong way. I did finally get it to make bullet holes sometimes but about every other one was slightly off left or right just figured it was me. Any way I guess I am gonna use the powder test to see if the fletchings are contacting the bow also will spin test the arrows. If that doesn't work I am gonna sell my bow and offer someone a bunch of money for theirs.

    Mullins boys do it again!

    Holy Cow there are a ton of Rabbits up there! I would also love to go shoot coyotes. We probably saw at least 3 coyotes per day and heard a ton they are thick up there.

    Mullins boys do it again!

    What a hunt! To start with everyone needs to save there typing I already know that my dad is the luckiest guy on earth to win that elk raffle. He just got home on monday and is taking the elk to Lyons and Ohaver in Sandiego to get mounted today. We had an awesome hunt with Jim and Matt and also Christian makes some mean salsa. We went up towards the end of July and stayed nearly the whole time untill He killed Sunday evening. We scouted every inch of unit 9 and Jim and Matt took us along as they set up trail cams which we checked each afternoon. Jim and Matt know that unit like the back of their hand and they are some hard working dudes. What a great bunch of guys and a great bull. I dont know much about scoring but he was just a freak toad of a bull that my dad loved. I am like you all....... waiting for Jim since he took about an hour and a half of photos and we dont even have any yet ourselves. The rain obviously didnt help but it sure was an awesome feeling to stand outside glassing while the rain came down. We completely totaled out my dads truck on all those muddy roads. We found the bull on saturday night about a mile away in a medow rolling around in the dirt, which we have great video of. Dad was on another 400 at the time that he ended up passing on. like I said before, I cant really score em so I took the video back that night and let the pros look at it. Matt and Jim and Christian each looked at the video and gave estimates of 404,407,408 off of the video, he came in right around 405, they are amazing at what they do! The next day we found him again but he was beded deep in the jungle with no shooting lanes and all we could see was his horns move about every five minutes. After the Mullins vetoed my suggestion that we use the Storm Trooper Method we backed off and made a plan to get him in the evening. That is exactly what they did, he fed out, they worked in about 400 yards and Jim said what distance do you feel comfortable shooting at? Dad said he was so excited that when he threw the gun up it was shaking so much that he said gonna need to be closer than this. They snuck in about as close as they could, 300 yard, and dad made a great shot. Thanks again to the Mullins they are a great bunch of guys. We spent almost a month camping and hunting with them and I could spend another month with no hesitation.
