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 ....

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 .

Arrows, what are some good ones? Anyone buy new ones recently?

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

Antler Restrictions - What are your thoughts?
fasteddie replied to TheHunter's topic in Deer Hunting
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 ) .- 1885 replies

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 .

sbuff --- some folks don't like the NEF in-lines because of the Primer Holder . I have arthritis in my fingers and the Orange primer holders make it easy to use plus if you see the orange tab , you can figure it's raedy to fire .
