  1. I have only shot a crossbow once at 40 yards . I wouldn't hesitate to take a 50 yard shot at a deer with a crossbow . Dial one in with less than a dozen shots and you're ready . I wouldn't try to shoot a deer at that distance with a compound . According to an interview with Ottie Snyder who is or was a Representative of Horton , a non archer could be proficiant with a crossbow in a 1/2 hour's time . Minimal practice required .

    wtf snow!!!

    I heard the roads are crappy along our "104 Corridor" . We have to pick up friends and drive them to the airport this morning . Yuck !
  3. Happy Birthday Geno ---- have a great day !
  4. Wouldn't work because the poor little kiddies would have to sit in the cold .
  5. Sorry for the loss of your friend .
  6. Rather difficult to respond to a survey that you don't get .
  7. That marriage was a set-up . Her husband to be was taking over her kingdom and he conspired to plan the death of her son Bjorn ( Axexander Ludwig) .
  8. Hey Doc --- How about Labor Day weekend when there is no school and no one else is deer hunting . That would give the woods 3 weeks for the woods to quiet down before the Bow Opener .
  9. It doesn't matter to me if someone needs to use a crossbow as no one does on any property that I hunt on . Actually if it gets women and kids out there , great . Kids will get bored and most women can't go without perfume or hairspray so maybe they will spook deer from the adjacent property over to me . That would be a big plus . I don't support crossbows nor do I fight against them . I couldn't care less !
  10. Two years ago I had a Sheriff's deputy waiting for me when I came out of a field in Walworth when I was using a Crop Damage Permit . He said he got a call that there was a lot of shooting close to homes and asked if I got a deer . I told him I shot once , missed and was over 200 yards from the road . Houses were on the opposite side of where I was parked He asked how I knew and I told him that I ranged the distance to my car at 200 yards and the houses were 50 yards or more beyond that . Then I showed him my single shot 25-06 .I told the deputy that I could show him where I had set up my chair blind that I shot from . He said it wasn't necessary as he saw me break it down and start walking to my vehicle . The deputy said that I had all the right answers and that he had to respond to the call and was on his way . Glad I had the Range Finder ! Where I felt bad is the land owner had to be called and was there also . Farmers spend enough time working that they don't need this sort of thing to bring them out . The farmer told to to stay at it as the deer were devastating his soy beans .
  11. As someone asked earlier , where the heck are you located ? There is so sense for someone in Buffalo to try to suggest a place to get roadkill if you are in New York City, east of Albany , etc. ! Once again , WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED ?
  12. And ...... they didn't use scopes or Range Finders .
  13. Those damned French with their cross-bows !
  14. The new shows come on at 10 pm but each week the previous week's show comes on at 9 pm . You could watch a double header next week . If you GOOGLE Ragnar Lothbrok , some say he didn't exist but there is information on his sons .
  15. I have been watching the show since it started . Don't want to be a spoiler but someone isn't coming back next season . Rollo is a changed since he married into French Royalty and learned to speak French !
  16. Happy Happy Happy Birthday ..............
  17. And ..... the same goes for the Crossbow shooter .
  18. What makes Ruger Magazines so expensive . I wanted an extra mag for my .380 LCP . I couldn't find one for less than $39.95 . There is nothing to these to make it cost that much !
  19. My oldest son takes his kids ( one at a time ) during gun season when it is snowing and blowing . They either sit in a blind or in the tree house in Italy Valley . I think letting kids hunt with a gun during bow season because they can hunt in warm weather is a joke . I don't know any other fathers that take their kids out during gun season , when it is colder , because it might spoil dad's chance of shooting the big wall hanger . If the kid doesn't shoot a deer during the Columbus Day weekend does he / she get a Participation Trophy ?
  20. I use one when Bow Hunting . Mine is a Halo with the ARC .
  21. I will stick with my compound . Unless I get too old ( I will only be 75 this season ) or at a point where I can no longer draw my compound , then I would go to a crossbow . They are easier and more accurate than a compound . And yes , I have shot a crossbow but only once . Put 3 bolts in a pie plate target at 40 yards with a PSE TAC15 .
  22. After King Barack left Cuba , Castro thumbed his nose at him . So much for diplomacy .
  23. Two hunters had been out for several hours and one of them was growing uneasy . Panic finally overtook him . " We're lost" he cried to his buddy . "Whatever shall we do" ? " Keep your shirt on ! " the other hunter said . " Shoot an extra deer and then the Game Warden will be here in a minute and a half " . Sounds about right to me .
  24. Happy Birthday John ! Enjoy your day .........
