TYing in a Tubeless peep

The 50 cal rifle really knocked the snot out of the barrel !

I took my bow to a shop where I had purchased it to have the draw adjusted from 29" to 28" . I had put a drop away rest on the bow and had the cord fastened to the down cable . The shop owner fastened it to the cable slide . I shot it a few times and was having a problem . The rest didn't drop fast enough . I bought some cord and fixed it the way I had originally set it up and was back in action . A lot of this stuff you can do yourself .

I have always used the closed eye method for setting peep sight height. 1) Hold the bow as you would if you are shooting at any target 2) Start to draw the bow to your anchor point 3) Before you get to you anchor point close both your eyes 4) Once at full draw , open you sighting eye and look through the peep sight you will be able to see if it is high or low. 5) Adjust the peep up or down as needed and repeat until perfect. 6) Have someone who knows archery , check your form , if there is a problem

Ditto on the BINGO ! The peep should be moved "down" , not up to lower the POI .

I found this interesting

I would try another sight on the bow just to see if that is the problem or something else . If another sight also shoots high , then you have a problem elsewhere . Is the string nock set right ? If you are using a Peep , is it placed properly ?

Sheesh ! They even have a Hog Weed Hotline ....

NY Fees aren't bad , even if they were increased ... Take a look at the Fee Schedule for Tennessee --- http://www.tn.gov/twra/huntlicense.html

Exactly ! But how many will be willing to plop down $1500 for a quality crossbow ! You dont have to plop down more than half of that for a quality crossbow. Most people are not going to buy TAC15s lol. Why not buy something that will reach out there rather than settle for a 20 - 25 yard shot ! Back to the gun hunting . Don't give the gun hunters the shaft . They deserve their time in the woods also .

I was shooting Black Hawk Vapors and had good results but wanted a heavier arrow and switched to the Arrow dynamics Big Game Hunters . http://www.hornhunters.com/nitro_stinger.htm

I'll have to wait and see if they come up with anything faster than 410 fps before making a choice . Also would like to know what kind of penetration there is at 100 yards as one of the crossbow manufacturers claims softball size groups at 100 yards . I see no reason to use one in gun season so I will wait until the crossbow gets moved into the Archery season .

I don't know for a fact but ...... I would wager that there are more gun hunters than bow hunters . You shorten their season and a lot would probably drop out causing the DEC to lose money .

I think "wiped" is a "southern-tier term ! :

Looks like you had some tresspassers that may have had their pics taken , realized there were cameras and eraced the evidence . Just a guess .

All of my reloading for the past year has been for my oldest son . My youngest son doesn't shoot enough and I told him to buy the powder , primers and bullets and I would make up some .270 rounds for him .

This is the only .280 Barnes load i could find . Drop a few grains to start . I don't know if the TSX is the same as the TTSX or not . http://gunloads.com/modules.php?name=Gunloads&cmd=Gunloads&did=654

Nice pics , as usual !

Some Aechery and CrossBow history http://www.centenaryarchers.gil.com.au/history.htm

I passed on some spikes , a couple fork horns and a 5 point last year and ate my buck tags . I was okay with that and shot a doe opening day of gun season . A young guy who bow hunted with me one day shot a button buck and said he knew it was a button when he took the shot and was estatic over his bow kill . To each his own . If they do or don't do AR's the the areas I hunt , it won't matter to me . I have never shot anything larger than a basket racked 8 point and would like to have the opportunity to do so but my time is running out . As long as I can shoot does , the little racked bucks won't matter ( but that could change ) .

C'mon guys ! Spend the money and buy the licenses , etc .. I bought the LifeTime Sportsman's for $50 and my ML & Archery will be free this year . Someone has to put money in the pot !!!

When I had a smooth bore . I shot the Federal and /or Winchester cheap 2 3/4" rifled slugs . When I bought my rifled barrel , I shot the same slugs . Didn't see a need to change even when folks told me that I shouldn't be shooting rifled slugs in a rifled barrel .
