  1. If you have say , a 28" draw ,add a D-Loop and pull your string back until it hits the wall , it's still a 28"draw . What is affected is your anchor point . Your draw length would be the same .
  2. More instructions .......... http://unofficialatfaq.tripod.com/dloop.htm
  3. I changed from the metal D-loop to the string . As bad as my hearing is , I could hear a "Ka-zing" noise when I released an arrow . There are various string material for the D-loops . I bought a kit at Dicks and the string was limp . I later bought a length of stiffer string material and it has worked great on 2 bowstrings . It was a stiffer , heavier string .
  4. Here is one video ......I have it on a PDF but don't know how to post it .
  5. I will have to look up the directions . If I can do it , anyone can . It was quite easy .
  6. Doc , I think you took the Bait ! Why bother responding to his post !
  7. You snooze ---- you lose !
  8. If Punksatawney Phil sees his ahadow , it means 10 more weeks of basketball .
  9. Happy Birthday ...have a great day !
  10. I shoveled the driveway about an hour ago . About 1" of the light stuff . We are only 2 miles south of Lake Ontario and expect to get hit with the Lake effect crap . It's snowing pretty good now .
  11. Don't tie those to the roof of that tank you are driving . The material would get trashed driving down 390 . It will cost you more in gas to drive back and forth than the material but still well worth it .
  12. Darn ... by the time I could find the link and post it CCHC had already posted the link .
  13. Lyman puts out a couple of excellent reloading books . One for rifles and one for pistols . Read the book a couple of times before getting into reloading to see if you feel you are up to the task ., If you get into it , check Craigslist as sometimes there are some decent reloading equipment for sale on there . Lee has some excellent starter kits . RCBS puts out a RockChucker reloading kit that is supposed to be good but more expensive than Lee equipment . There is another Reloading thread on this site
  14. A box of 50 might be $1.99 but a Brick is 10 boxes ....... just for clairification
  15. Contender --- what are you looking for ? Maybe call before you go . If you call , the message will ask you if you want to call a person by name and give you an extension . Try Dave Fladd . He's the only guy I can think of off hand .
  16. Lawdwaz --- Beikirchs is local , supplies most of the gun stores around and has the supplies right there . No messing around with shipping and waiting . It's not too far from the expressway either .
  17. Midway , Midsouth and Natchez were out of 158 gr Hornaday XTP bullets for reloading but Beikirchs had plenty on the shelf plus American Eagle 357mag loads for $25 for a box of 50 . I bought some of the cheaper 380 bullets just to shoot up at the range to get used to the Ruger LCP . The store wasn't packed like it has been the past few weeks .
  18. I was into Beikirchs today and bought some 357 bullets for reloading and some ammo . Things have slowed down . The ammo panic might be over .
  19. Okay , thanks for the input . What they offered sounded too good to be true and when that happens .............. it's usually too good to be true !
  20. After I retired , I reverted back to my childhood and decided it would be fun to hunt woodchucks again . I checked with a couple farmers in Walworth and they welcomed me with open arms . I switched from my Marlin lever action to a NEF 223 and was able to shoot longer ranges . Checked with a couple other landowners and got welcome responses . The most chucks I got in any season was 112 confirmed . If I hit any and they still got to their hole , I didn't count them . One guy that had a Christmas tree farm gave me a free tree for getting rid of his woodchuck problem . Another gave me a pint bottle of Homemade Maple Syrup and a bag of potatoes . I never asked for anything in return for hunting any property except for asking one farmer for a deer crop damage permit . I hadn't filled the permit and he asked for it back as one greedy hunter has used up 3 and needed another one . I told the farmer's son that his "deer shooter" could kill the woodchucks from now on and didn't shoot any more on his property . When gas prices got up around $4 a gallon , I stopped driving to Walworth to shoot the chucks . Anyway , if you ask several farmers to allow you to shoot woodchucks , it may open the door for deer hunting property .
  21. Is anyone a member ? Is it worthwhile to join ? I am guessing it is similar to the North American Hunting Club but don't know for sure .
  22. I think my latest bow is 4 years old ( not sure ) . It works fine so I don't plan to change anything . It's a Ben Pearson TX-4 . My backup is a Parker EZ-Draw and nothing wrong with that bow . If it works , don't fix it ! There is a lot of Hype trying to make people think that they need the newest , latest equipment .
