Time to start a new project. I thinking of doing a sign/ banner for over the fireplace. This should be great for the hunting cabin. (Wish I had 1)!

Ok, I finished the challenge coin board.

Tacks, I can't shoot next week. My Sunday hockey game is 8:30 am due to the SB. Can anyone just tag along? or do you have to join the league? I would like to join you guys once in a while, where do you shoot in 2 weeks?

I think you guys shooting in the winter league are true die-hards! AKA, you're NUTS!

What yardage can you shoot inside/

I have some tickets for the Niagara Frontier Chapter NWTF banquet next Saturday Feb 2 at Banchetti's on N. French in Amherst. Dinner only tics are $25. PM me if you're interested. Thanks, Tim

Happy Birthday Boys! Enjoy the day!

I don't need a new bow, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my Elite Hunter, but i find myself watching some nib Elite Impulse 31 on ebay. They're are 2017 models so they are not the newest but there are about 4-5 years newer then my hunter and the reviews are good. i can't see me spending the $$ on a brand new 2018 model but I can be convinced to spend a lot less on a new older model. Does anyone have an Elite Impulse 31 and how do you like it? I hesitate to buy one without shooting it first. The 1 thing I was disappointed with my hunter is the speed. about 260 fps. I had a GT500 before the hunter and it shot 290 fps. I don't know how much faster is the Impulse?

I have a droid, sorry it doesn't do the same things as an I phone. Other than make calls!

After i made it I thought "I should have used some of the wild turkey breast i have in the freezer" It's very rich so next time I will cut back on the cheese and use some skim milk to thin it a little. The red pepper flakes add some good heat.

I love jerky done both ways(sliced vs ground) I usually use ground as it is easier to make and I can get better consistency. I always get lots of different sized pieces with sliced and a lot of little pieces that dry up too fast or fall through the racks. Plus as said here before using ground is a lot faster.

Awesome pic, but what I want to know is how to you highlight a pic? I just goggled it and see that you do it through photoshop.

I see the adds that pop up on the site and i understand why they are there. But i just saw an add for a reading glasses website (yes I'm guilty of looking for a pair of cheaters on line) and the pair they were listing was called "the Bishop" , is it me or what but, who wants to look like a bishop?

Pygmy?? are you sleeping?

Kudos to all that said it was oak. It's actually white oak, I had 2 guys I know who are pretty good woodworkers look at it and they both said white oak. I haven't had much time to work on it lately but here is a pic of it roughed in. I am going to burn in the image, glue in the bullets, and trim the edges.

I'm so sorry to hear this, prayers sent for you and your family.

I'm thinking of getting lighted knocks for my bolts. A friend gave me 1 to try but it didn't fit my Victory bolts. It was too loose. I was looking on ebay and there are lots out there. My bolts are .300 inside dia., i see some that say they will fit .297-.302 bolts. Does that sound like too much play? I'm hesitant to buy them as i'm sure they are imported knock offs. (no pun intended) What do you guys/gals use? Anyone use the cheapies with any luck?

Lawd, I have a pile of those bags in my garage you can have. They smell like cigarette smoke for some reason! I have a FS and we use it all the time. My wife cooks up chicken, burgers etc. and we freeze them in 2 person serving sizes. Pull them out for dinner in winter and they taste like they just came off the grill. Also works great for meals when we go camping. When I need to freeze stuff that has liquid or excessive moisture I place the it on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer for 10-20 minutes then vac seal. It helps keep the moisture out of the vacuum. For soups I freeze the soup in a plastic bowl then pop the soup out of the bowl, put it in a bag and vac seal.

I'm guilty of this, I just recently bought a 360 heater for the blind/shop and just threw a 1lb tank in it and lit it up. It worked fine. The next day I went to use it and I couldn't get it to light. I returned it and picked up a second one. When I went to use it I re-read the instructions only to find out I was supposed to turn it to the start position for 30 seconds and then try to light it. Apparently you need to purge the gas line before it will light. It works fine and I assume the first one would have worked fine if I would have read the directions! DUH!

518Bowsayer, I would be curious as to how it works for you. I shoot a single pin adjustable site and I usually keep it set at 20 yds. The only time I move the pin is if I'm shooting 3d at different ranges. I also have "getting old" eyes and have compensated for the blurry pins with a lens set in my peep site. This helps keep the pin a little clearer but not strong enough to affect my view of the target. I can see the point of the open picture as the V eliminates the pin, I just think it will change my concentration of the target from a point on the animal to an area on the animal thus changing my whole concept of aiming. (I hope that makes sense) After years of practice with standard sites this might take some time to get used to? It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks! Having said all that I'm still curious/interested in trying one of these sites out. It could be a game changer if it really helps with accuracy and not having to make a guesstimate of the range of the target.

Zeus, I have a similar smoker, I installed a regulator in line between the tank and the smoker because even on the lowest setting the smoker was too hot. I couldn't maintain a temp around 200-220. Now I can control it much better. I second the probe and thermometer as you will need to watch the internal temps. Also remember that most meats only absorb smoke for about 6 hours after that you are just slow cooking. So as Turkeyfeathers said finish it in a crock pot. I usually use our electric roaster as I do 2- 8 lb pork butts at the same time and they fit better in the roaster. Have fun with it, it's always a learning experience and soon you will be loving everything you put in it. I've done pork butts, venison stuffed with italian sausage, venison pepper sticks, chicken thighs, Baltimore pit beef, and more. I have always wanted to do chicken wings, just can't seem to justify the cost when thighs are so much cheaper!

Thanks, but I', good. I stopped in at Wolcott gun range on Waldenand picked up the casings I needed. Now it's time get the board done! I'll post pics when it's finished. Thanks!

Happy Birthday to all the New Years Babies! Seriously 56 of you? Happy New Year to all!

I always lock my stands with a bicycle cable and padlock or a chain and lock. And I always take them down asap. I have them all in my garage waiting to be put away till next fall. I believe the stands will last longer not sitting out in the elements rotting away. Plus I think the scum that see them in the off season figure that no one is around so nows a good time to grab it. It's worked well so far. Knock on wood!

If he'said turning 70 he probably already has all that stuff!
