  1. At least the home owner had a sense of humor .......
  2. I shoot at least 4 days a week . The max distance I can practice safely in my back yard is just over 35 yards . I have a 10' high ladder stand that is 30 yards from my backstop and have a 3-D plus a home made target that I can move around The digital thermometer read 97 degrees at one point today and it is forecasted to be in the 90's the next 3 days . I don't thin I will be shooting .
  3. Here is the next step after crossbows ............... http://www.swivelmachine.com/html/rimfire.htm
  4. Muzzy --- That dog is still wearing it's collar ! ... ... Nice mount
  5. I wonder how many of you carry extra shorts in your backpack ! : I have walked along a trail in almost pitch dark and heard something take off in the brush . The initial reaction is huge goose-bumps ! I have a headlamp with the colored lights and also white light . I also carry a mini-maglight for just in case . Quite often ther is just enough light on the horizion to see where I am going .
  6. Here is another DIY video to bore you with ................
  7. Stealth Cams are very reliable ........
  8. I have practiced at longer distances but I try to keep it under 35 yards . Too much can happen in a split second . Targets don't move . Deer do . ???
  9. I have a NEF 50 cal Huntsman . I use 90 gr of loose 777 powder and a 240 gr TC Hornaday XTP sabots .
  10. Lookin' good . One of the Food Plot Gurus said food plots should be shaped like an hour glass and the treestands should be placed at the narrow spots wher the deer would be closer when passing through .
  11. I heard someone slipped it into the stack of papers that Governor Patterson was signing as Vetos ............ ??? ... ??? ... ???
  12. This was my last job . Not really but it seemed like it !
  13. The reason for our wait is that they wait for the pile to stack up before anyone breaks out a pen to sign them . I wonder what he/she does the rest of the time !
  14. I stopped off at the bowshop in Williamson this past spring . My youngest son was ready to drop $ 1200 - $1400 on a Bowtech Admiral with sight , rest , quiver , bowcase , etc . I talked to the owner's dad and another guy behind the counter . When the owner arrived , he spent his time on the phone and never talked to me . I pee'd away an hour and decided to leave but I left a list of what I wanted , my home phone # and cell phone # . I never got a call . Apparently the guy is well off and didn't need my son's money . I talked to a friend on another site and was able to get my son a Limbsaver DZ32 at a great price . My son picked up an EXtreme 4 pin sight and I found a Trophy ridge drop Zone and I set that up . It's shooting great . Maybe the bow shop did me a favor by not taking my money ! :
  15. Personally , I had never felt it necessary because many of them overcharge to make up for lack of business . I wanted a string and cable replaced on my Ben Pearson TX-4 . I was going to to take it to one of the larger shops but remembered there is a shop on the Walworth-Ontario road and took it there . Dave (at Trophy Taker Archery) did an excellent job and was very reasonable in price . He didn't charge me any more for the peep than it would have cost in the Big Box Store . Kinda restored my faith in the small guy .

    bows

    Rock ........ Click on a member's name and it will show what they are shooting . That is , if they completed their profile .
  17. There is a lot of work to making a footed shaft , especially when you don have a lathe .
  18. My oldest son makes his own arrows (footed shafts) with various hardwoods . Here are a few pics . Some of the self nocks have a piece if antler in them .......................
  19. I think I have seen a few of those bottles along 390 on the way home ..........shame on you : .. : .. :
  20. In 1998 , I had to wait for 16 weeks to get my original pistol permit . It was a 44 mag Thopmson Contender . Since then i have purchased 3 more barrels and am required to have a permit for each barrel even though there is no serial # on the barrel so each one is registered to the same frame . Kinda dumb . A Sheriff Deputy friend said all I had to do was register the pistol as multi-caliber and use one permit . I checked with a neighbor who is a NY State Police Lt and he said individual permits and the County Clerk told me the same thing . When I bought my 22/45 Ruger pistol , I got the permit in the mail in less than a week . I purchased a pistol 2 1/2 weeks ago and was told not to bother calling the Clerk's office as the person they deliver them to waits until he / she has a big stack and then signs them . The guy ahead of me in the store was from Livingston County and walked out of the store the same day he purchased the gun . I can wait but it makes no sense as to the way each county processes the permits . In many counties , all the permits are on one paper . In Wayne County there is a separate paper for each pistol . Go figure ! : .. : .. :
  21. Goodness gracious , are you implying that you know more than the Media Specialist for Horton ? ??? ... ??? ... ??? 30 minutes of practice and you are good to go ........... Set out my decoy at 90 yards and i'm all set .
  22. The Game Tracker / String Tracker (from what i could find out) has a string attached to the clip at the base of the broadhead that I guess you follow to find the deer . Apparently it didn't work with this buck . I shot this deer on Lima road in Geneseo with my 50 cal NEF Huntsman inline .
  23. Now - If you can only figure how to get it out of the crate so you can use it ! .. ..
