Heck , that has to be almost in your own back yard . It usually falls on a weekend when other stuff is planned . Anxious to see what the date will be this year . Nothing to do with hunting but I like to hit the big Flea Market in East Avon about once a year .

That's an excellent idea Doc . You can continue to tweak the size of the peep until you get it just right .

Every once in a while someone will mention having a tree saddle and loving it . The saddle looks to me like a swing seat and if anyone has ever sat in one of those for long , I would think your butt would go numb . I can only imagine what it would be like . I think I would stick with a chain-on , ladder stand or permanent stand ..........

We switched from the M1 to the M-14 which I thought was a POS compared to the Garand . When I go to the gun shows , I always have to pick up / touch an M-! ......... ;D

I think this is one of those 99% letoff bows ..........

Took these pics in Irondequoit a few years ago near my daughter's house

I was able to get this one at my son's camp several years ago ..........

Does anyone attend this in September . They have a lot of activities for kids and adults . It's also like a Flea maket for hunters . It gives you a chance to talk to some of the DEC officers . I have missed it for the past 4 years ........... :-[ .. :'( .. :'(

The M1 Garand is a great rifle . The Marine Corps never shold have let it go ! 500 yards in the prone position with a peep sight . Awesome rifle !!!

I may take it off but I added an Ultra Nock to my string . I like how the arrow nock fits on without any wear to the string plus I am not wearing down the serving with my release . My son has a Limbsaver DZ32 and it came with a string loop . He never had a loop before and likes his .

When I had the shop put my string & cable on , I told him to put a new peep on also . He suggested a 1/4" but I went with the 3/16" and glad I did . The bigger peeps just give me too much to see .

I am not knowledgeable enough to do that . You could run a longer speaker wire though ..........

Why not just change it to Small Game & Varmints . It might be a bit redundant but ......what the heck !

The wildView X-treme 2 or the Stealth Cam SC23IR .......Both are $49.99 for a limited time

The 25-06 is considered a wildcat cartridge . Regular ammo is much more expensive than say 308 , 270 , etc .. Since 30-06 brass is easier to obtain , would it be okay to run 30-06 brass through a 25-05 full size die . I would think this is how it was originally done but not positive . Waiting to hear your reply , Bubba !

Sounds like a great idea Doc !!!

It's one of the ways that the Gene Pool gets thinned out ............. my 2 cents

Here is what I would suggest doing ............

I have only used corn cob media with a little bit of Flitz polish . I then user a primer pocket cleaner and keep a paper clip handy in case there is any media in the flash hole .

Here is a better view (hopefully) I couldn't get it to show up any larger .........

Here is the Custom Wrap that I had made up for me ..........

What's best to use in a tumbler to polish brass ......... corn cob or walnut media ?

I have never bothered to try arrow cresting . I did purchase some arrow wraps but only bothered to use two of them .

I shoot the bow with both eyes open . I also shoot a scoped rifle with both eyes open .
