BASS

I post mine through google video, it's also free and is alright in quality.

That sounds like fun. I've met a few members either out in the feild, or at their homes/work. I'm going to even try to remember everyones names because I know I will forget one.

Man, there are more and more of us on the East side.

Better yet, is it white?

Hey now, that rest was state of the art in it's time! I use to have a couple PSE' that looked just like that one. You shouldn't have too much of a problem taking that one to a shop and having it tuned up a bit.

Which model WB are you using? Does it have the stiff brown "arrow support" on the bottom? Mine does, and I had to rotate my arrow so that the fletching cleared that, or else the fletching would start to come off.

I use a WB on my bow and love it. I'm sure it hurts accuracy a bit, but the trade offs are hard to beat.

I know there has to be a few others dead down the 81A road. A large herd crossed the road in front of me, so I grabbed the camera and took off chasing them. Once they settled down a little I was trying to get closer for some video when a rifle shot scared me half to death, it sounded so close. The herd took off again, and two more quicker shots followed. I got back in the truck and drove the roads for a while looking for a camp that maybe was target shooting or something but found nothing. I reported that, but never heard anything else about it.

That might have been my camp then, we'll have to see. Is he still up there this weekend too? If so that same truck may be up there again. CouesFanatic, there are a few of us on the East side, I'm in Chandler (Alma & Elliot). DTB17, the site has gotten a lot bigger than when I first joined and it can only keep getting bigger. One day when we are old we are going to say, I remember when CWT.com only had 1000 members and even some of those were e-scouters or salesmen.

I can almost tell you right now that almost any shop you go into is going to give you some grief over it. I've seen it more than a few times in the last two years or so with friends who were in the same boat you are now. They are going to try to sell you a new bow because "that thing should be on a wall somewhere." Don't listen to them, tell them that you would love to have a new bow, but want to get this one setup first. Insist that, and they will listen. Have them check it out to make sure that it is still safe to shoot, then have it setup for you. Nothing in archery is ever outdated, heck people are still shooting recurves arn't they? When you get the bow you can check out the wheels, and string to see if they are in good shape, but have a good shop check the limbs out for any tiny cracks.

I opened my mouth too soon and agreed to help out for an old teachers archery cow hunt in "6A." He told me it was 6A South so that's where I have been scouting, but turns out he has the North hunt. Anyone care to give me some ideas on some areas that I should check out? I'll trade info for the Southern part or some other area up North.

Yeah that sounds familiar. I do not know if his dad tagged out or not, as I had to come back home Sunday for class, and won't be able to get back up there until tomorrow night. His dad didn't know until after we had already loaded it up and were heading back out again. They left a note on the truck, but we took it with us when we went out to help. That had to be the cleanest kill site I have ever seen, everything but the gut pile was hauled out, and even that was hidden. A great group of guys to be around.

What a whopper!

shoot me the photos, and I can get them up for you, or you can go to the photo section where there is a how to for posting photos. surfinbandit@hotmail.com

Just make sure you use it when you are right on top of them, and are hung up like you said. While playing around calling elk during the rut, I have found that glunking too soon will make them round up, and head off in another direction quickly. I use a termanator bugle, and use the mouth piece as a cow call as well as a bugle, but anyways, if you have a tube, hit the palm of your hand on the end of the tube and it will make it perfect also.

I love Scouts

It is a strange sound to say the least. I heard it last year on a tank in 6A when a nice 6x6 came in. At first I thought he was sick and was going to puke because it sounded like what our dogs do before they revisit their last meal. It wasn't until later that night that I realized what it must have been.

Some one needs to send that one to mythbusters, so they can try to hit their own arrows for a third time. Neat video, thanks for posting David. the code for that smilie is ph34r which is "l33t" (spelling words using letters and numbers) for fear. Or I guess it could also be a ninja who just got kicked in the balls or something.

Yeah, that dog needs to be dumped off somewhere far, far away. He got your binos, two of my video cameras, cell phones, a wallet full of cash, shoes, under wear, and too many new clothes. And yet we still kept him.

Do you have any pics? It sounds like a dandy! How did you stain the antlers? What brand/name did you use? What are the steps? Sorry for the questions but I have a couple sets of racks that I would like to clean up.

Yeah, but those hunts cost me too much money! Last year I busted up three arrows chasing those pigs in one morning, I had to go back to camp during lunch to get some more for the afternoon.

Who would dump a lab off somewhere? Okay, missedagain may have wanted to dump my dog off some place a couple of times but, wait... where's Buddy!?! I don't think I would be too worried about the owner coming back to get "their" dog, he's probably happier being with your pooch and your family. They are great dogs.

That may have been my truck, did he say (or do you know) what road it was off of? I also was stopped on Guadalupe & Dobson a while back, but the light turned green before we could exchange names.

Do you feel that you are becoming a better (maybe that isn't the best word to use) archer from this? I know that when I change sights, arrows, or rest, I do almost the same thing. I don't make it last so long like you are doing, but I will stay at five yards for a while before moving back to maybe ten yards. But unlike you if I miss, it's a brick wall and not just some sheetrock that is stopping the arrow.

YOU SHOT SIMBA!!! You must be on cloud nine right now! So how close was the final shot? You said it was about ten yards, but it came in a bit closer then right? Are you planning on getting a mount, or a rug? I really want to get a lion and have it mounted laying down with it's rear leg hanging down just a bit.
