Crap, I have bad luck with arrows...

[samoth]

Sliced my right index 2" long and 1/3" deep pulling a gamestopper-tipped fieldhead from the target. Last time I got stitches from sharpening a broadhead, but this time they used a medical 'glue'. Damn gamestoppers don't slice like a broadhead, either, they bloody rip the fleshg.

On the bright side, tjhe doc said that peripheral nerves in the fingers can regenerate, lol.

So much for either finger shooting or release-shootimng for 1.5 weeks. Meh.

there you go

 

[samoth]

There's lots of gun humters, but I figure it doesm't take a man to pullk a trigger. Now holding 60lbs at full draw for 10 seconds whilst keeping the pin on target, hindsight on pin x and the bubble level level takes strength and skill.

And, obviously, for me, a good doctor...

I learned my lesson very quick. I suck on bow and went back to what I am comfortable with. If you are good and responsible then go for it. Sorry for your injuries.

Yep, PSE Coyote 55/60 equipted with Toxonics 5-pin fiber-optic front sight, hind sight (I hate peeps), Golden-Key Futura arrow rest, 11oz. Doinker front stabilizer, 7oz Cobra rear stabilizer, and plenty of limb and string silencers. I shoot primarily carbon arrows with field points and game-stoppers and 2-edge cut-on-impact 125 grain broadheads.

You're hunting with a frigging 60# recurve?! See you K Message!!!

Many, many moons ago I used to shoot a recurve bow, but it was only 35#.

You da man!!!

Bow season opened here last saturday....I got a spike and a doe last week. No pin, no hindsight, certainly no bubble level or pendelum site! No condemnation bud.....but please don't proclaim your manliness and skill so unabashedly while listing your technology!

I just too,k it uip this spring. I was shooting off the shelft for a good month but kept loosinbg arrows in the brsh behind the hay bails, so I switched to some technological advanbcemenbts to work on before going off the shelf more. But your poinbt is very true, sans strength aspect of holding 55# at full draw, lol.

HEY! Where's Needto here? He's a bow hunter too! (but compound, but still, it's always good to find fellow archers and bowhunters!)

No laser target? How could you miss with all that stuff?

I also received stitches this weekend after running through a recently harvested tapioca field. The cut tops are like punji sticks, had to actually pull it out of my shin.

55 or 60...who's counting! Just having fun widja! I went from shotgun up to rifle down to muzzleloader down to compound down to recurve...then lost the release, then the rearsight, then the pins......eventually made my own bow and then my own arrows: Then got tired of losing them and went back to carbon arrows and eventually back to a custom recurve (85#, 34" draw: I'm 6'6" with a long upper body and arms!)....no sights and I shoot it canted and with no hold (instinctive shot...pull and release in one motion) . It's all good. Next year I'll probably get into handgun hunting. I only eat red meat that I kill so I still use the muzzleloader to collect the 4 deer that I MUST have for a year's worth of protein!

wtf... as if a bow puts you on a more level playing field... ? u kidding me? If you are doing it for sport, you'd better be out there bare fisted vs the damn thing.. else, use a gun and spend your extra time on dinner.

Who the fuck wants a level playing field???? I want to kill deer and make it challenging at times. Who kills your protein bubba?

I love youre bow man.I use a racurve to but I allso have a compond.I started out with a compond but said fuck it and had my father get me a PSE cacurve as well.pse makes a dmae good bow.cuple mods and you got one powerful wepon.

 

[ZKaudio]

you're just creating inefficiencies in the killing process to make it harder for you...

I'll allow you a knife. But only a knife, you have to go barehanded cept for the knife... else use the best means possible... i.e. a gun, be efficient.

That makes no sense: "Be completely inefficient or use overkill." I'm not claiming any sort of moral high-ground for using a bow! I am completely superior to my prey due to my brain. The deer has superior hearing, eyesight, smell, speed, etc. My brain allows me to choose how I harvest my prey.

Don't assume inefficiency because of the weapon, both are lethally efficient, accuracy of the shot is up to the hunter.

And on the plus side, how often have you heard of some trigger happy, drunken bow hunter accidentally killing his hunting buddy? Pretty much impossible to shoot a bow when you're half shot in the ass ...

It's all about the challange of stalking your prey within 20 yards. 300+ FPS bows with a broadhead will kill just as easily as a gun.

It's a tradition, it's history, it's an art, it's skill, and it takes a real man to stalk a prey and hold at full draw for a perfect shot. A gun? Point from 100 yards, aim, kill. Don't have to worry 'bout camo as much, don't have to worry about scent protection, et cetera. Where's the "hunt" in that? A 60#+ bow will take down a 400+lb bear (yes, I can reference that one for you easily), so don't dismiss bows as petty toys... they're dangerous weapons used to hunt and kill just like guns.

Well said!!! I've actually never encountered anyone who had no respect for bow hunting but to anybody who doubts the power of a bow, or how demanding it can be, I assure you, you go to an archery range, you shoot a recurve bow, you'll feel it, I don't care how in shape you are.

Anyway, Samoth, the guy whose range I used to shoot at had an interesting trophy, it was the arrow that he'd brought down a bear, with from a tree stand, with the vertebra of the bear's neck still skewered as it had hit. It was perfect, like he'd had a site drawn on the back of that bear's neck. He was good but his daughter was better, she was actually on the Olympic archery team ... that was a looong time ago ...

What kind of let off does your bow have??

 

[samoth]

What kind of let off does your bow have??

Recurves and longbows have 0% let off... if it's a 70# longbow, you hold 70# at full draw.

Compound bows, on the other hand, with their wheels and cams, give up to 80%+ let off, so a 70# compound with 80% let off means you're only holding 15# at full draw. The cams store the potential energy for you, whereas recurves and longbows do not have this function.

Gotcha. . .so your a bit more of a purist than me. I remember shooting a recurve. . .once. . .in Cub Scouts. Been shooting a compound bow ever since. I can't imagine leaning out of my treestand with my safety harness, on a freezing cold morning, with my muscles stiff from the cold and from sitting motionless for a while, trying to hold a recurve a full draw for more than 10 seconds. . .you're a better man than me, bro.

I've never been interested in treestand hunting. I'm more into stalking and still-hunting. (And I never said I was that good a shot, either, lol!)
