Tonopah Thanks for the help guys. Maybe I am expecting too much too soon. I'll keep after it.

+1. And buy the best glass you can possibly afford. Glass is one area where the saying you get what you pay for is true.

Target Panic. Maybe.

Her thermometer is probably not in a good place. She is always 3 degrees hotter than mine. I hit 129. Regardless, it was one miserable day and today isn't going to be much better.

Hit 129 at my house, 133 at my daughter's a couple of hundred yards north of me. I think those numbers are probably pretty close. We live in a hot spot.

OK, so at 10:45 it is 120 degrees. The school down the road will be 3-5 degrees hotter. My daughter's house will be 2-3 degrees hotter. I live in a cool spot. I have no idea why I live in this he!!hole. Retardation maybe, lack of common sense, stupidity? I will go with stupidity.

The last hot spell hit 127 at my house. My daughter who lives a couple hundred yards from me had 130. I am a native and it's only the 4th time in 60 years I have seen it 130 or more. I work outside in this stuff and freakin hate it.

Prayers headed your way Nick.

Picked up one of these back in the 70's and still have it. It isn't free weights but it can certainly strengthen your bow muscles. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bullworker-Classic-/301593679351?hash=item46386255f7:g:FeEAAOSwfcVUBSvA

I have seen the same thing. I have been hunting desert muleys for 50 years and have seen it several times. Last January I saw a 140ish 4x4 with a doe, 3 cows and 5 burros. Saw it again later in the season.

Nothing. But I guess that is OK since my wife has an October cow tag and I have an early archery bull tag.

My elk app has changed several times in the last week or so. From order 123 to 213 to 123 yesterday back to 213 this morning. Here's a link to a thread I started on the national bowsite the other day. Lots of interesting theories but I don't expect anything to come of it. But if it is true along with my 5BS early archery bull tag I drew unit 15 NM first archery bull. http://forums.bowsite.com/TF/bgforums/thread.cfm?threadid=452654&messages=78&forum=5#4205192

This thread has almost got me talked back into shooting feathers again. Not only do they shoot well they look really awesome too!

I shot feathers for years. Accuracy is superb and speed is good out to 30 yards. It starts to drop off and out at extreme distances there is a huge difference compared to vanes. They need to be waterproofed. There are several ways of doing it but I used to spray them with Snow Dry and carry a baggie with me. I always thought they were noisier than vanes but that didn't bother me. They get beat up pretty good but unless there is a big chunk out of them accuracy isn't affected that much. I tried the 2" razyrs but didn't think they handled broadheads all that well. If I went back to feathers I think I would try the 3" shield cut with a good helical and get as much offset as practical. I think it would be a good compromise between the 2 and 4" feathers.

I had a run in with a guide in 5BS a couple of years ago. We had been on a bull straight out of camp way before daylight and were getting close when he shows up with who I presume was his client and tells me that they had been on this bull all morning and basically I should back off. . I told him we had too and that he could go chase other bulls. I was pretty sure from his attitude he thought about getting a piece of me. He eventually backed off because I wasn't going to give an inch.

heck will freeze over before I would apply for another tag there. Dealing with military Barney Fife's and government regulations is BS

sold

65lb limbs, #3 cams, currently set at 30" but I have modules for 29 1/2 and 30 1/2. America's Best strings and cables were put on in early Dec of last year. Still have a lot of life left. Also have a factory Hoyt back up string in good shape, 4 pin Montana Black Gold sight, RipCord code red rest with an extra launcher and a Sims stabilizer. Selling a Plano hardcase with it. Ii am asking $550 with sight, rest, stabilizer and hardcase or $475 barebow and hardcase.

Thanks guys. If it doesn't go this time around I will keep it and unload an older bow at a much lesser price. I have no need for three of them.

One more time......bump

Thanks guys. If it doesn't sell pretty quick I will keep it. I already have 3 but can only shoot one at a time.

What he said. I have been shooting Hoyt for years and continued to buy them even after the later models didn't feel good to shoot. I just went into Ross and shot several and walked out with a Prime Rival. I doubt the quality is any better than any of the other top end bows but it felt good.

I think the only thing that would be better than our system is throw the whole point system out and make everyone play on equal ground. I like the fact that I can draw every year regardless of how many points I have.

$500 with accessories or $450 bare bow.
