Awesome stuff...huge congrats all around!

I’m not sure how to answer this in terms of bloodiest. From a literal standpoint the only thing that still has blood on it is my Z7, but that’s not a gun. LoL in terms of volume of blood shed... Remington 870 12ga Browning A5 12ga

Frustrated newbie seeking advice
bigorange replied to Calebwalter's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
And Outdoor Writer is being modest...he’s one of the authors of that book along with Duwane. The book is the absolute best coues deer resource out there...in my opinion. I re-read most of it every season. You’ll learn a ton from glassing with Duwane just too bad it’s not before your hunt one helpful glassing technique I think I picked up from the book...to pick apart an area pretend you’re walking around on the hill you’re glassing. Look under every tree, next to every rock, etc...When glassing a large area it’s very easy to glass ay too fast and just scan. Going back and “walking” the area looking for movement and parts of deer has helped me a lot especially finding bedded deer. -

Sounds interesting...may have to give these a try. From the subject I was expecting another poaching or dirty guide story... -

Pretty sure you’re feeding a troll spammer...if not that was a rude welcome to the site. 😂

Trying to obtain high FOC - without killing velocity
bigorange replied to Buckwheat893's topic in Bows, arrows, broadheads
It’s fun to tweak numbers and figure stuff out like this...if you like this stuff. Sort of like reloading vs shooting boxed ammo. I ran through a bunch of numbers, weighing arrows, and determining the balance point to measure my FOC. As others have said a simple change from 100 to 125-grain heads did the trick for me. Numbers showed a decent increase in FOC that I can’t remember (again if you like numbers like me you can run the calculations LoL) but more importantly my groups at longer distances tightened up almost immediately. I’m more interested in the improved accuracy that resulted and less about any impact or change to speed. -
Pretty ironical...makes for a good story though. Congrats to your son!

Not hunting, but I’ve listened to a LOT of his music in camp and around the campfire. Early idol in my life and an amazing artist. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/eddie-van-halen-dead-200051/

I picked up some free old powder
bigorange replied to ctafoya's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Powder burned signs is a good idea...there are artists now doing a lot with powder burning and would probably buy it. Don’t know any off the top of my head though. -
My buddy is looking for one for his kid if there’s more than one...

But you keep SHOUTING about IRRELEVANCE and throwing definitions at me when I “tangent away”...I guess that’s what I get for such risky behavior.
