    Wait a minute, didn’t you kill one with the xbow at 59yds through the heart? I have a very vague recollection of you mentioning that once.

    Oil level is reasonably stable. I may add a bit every year. I will really have to take a closer look. I have been pretty lazy about maintaining that machine, unlike most machines I own. Growing up we beat the crap out of our lawn tractors with minimal maintenance and then bought a new one when they died every 10 years or so. I guess those bad habits have continued.

    It does not appear that bow poundage or speed was factored in on the study. But there was a 7% increase. I suppose one should know whether they have the required equipment to use a mechanical. Kill em with whatever you like, but you do need to release an arrow!

    According to the study, about a 7% increase in recovery rate.

    Completely understood. My father still drives a Model T ford for the same reason. Just kidding Biz.

    Be sure to add a shelf below or next to the shooting window so that you don't miss any deer while watching TV - it requires skills in multitasking.

    Heading off to Alex Bay. Sun and fish to catch - I hope. Thanks for covering my utility bill or we could not have gone!

    car battery, solar charger, inverter, inexpensive flat screen and a digital antenna. The boys will love it. lol

    Forget all about mechanicals Mr. Culver Creek - you have a job to do with fixed heads, a stick and string!

    It runs strong Bryan. One of the reasons I have ignored the smoke.

    Thanks guys

    No biggie. I have not been very diligent about addressing it.

    You think it’s the charcoal grill I run on the hood? Never considered that but a fresh burger is nice when cutting. Not giving it up.

    Not over full. Didn’t check air filter. Maybe that’s a good place to start.

    My tractor seems to be puffing smoke occasionally. More of a dark gray smoke than white or blue. Some days worse than others. Doesn’t seem normal but has run like this for over a year, maybe 2 to 3. No oil consumption. My son complains about the smoke. I tell him to ignore it but probably not wise. Thoughts? I am not a mechanic but May have to find someone to look at it after this year. I haven’t done anything because it just keeps going. It’s a 46” 22hp Troy Bilt. Maybe 8 years old.

    That buck is on steroids - time for a random drug test!

    I remember shooting 50yds with the recurve. I didn't lose any arrows, but hitting the block was an iffy proposition. I suspect it would be the same at 100 with a compound.
  18. moog5050
    You mean everyone started with 29 arrows?
  19. moog5050
    Agreed. One can only tune within the range of their consistency. The better you shoot, the more reliably you can tune.
  20. moog5050
    Ok - we will call it 90-10 if it makes you feel better. lol

    Says the guy that spent 95% of his working time sleeping or eating! I will give you that the other 5% was real work!

    Or you can hunt private next to public where every season I have joggers or walkers stroll by within bow range as they veer off course and pay no attention to the posted signs. I am always amused at how startled they are when I politely ask them from my tree stand to head in the other direction. That said, I like my private parcels. Best of all, you can pre-arrange entry, exit and stand locations.

    Phew - I guess I can now cancel my amazon order. Did not want to be out of hunting fashion.
  24. moog5050
    I thought you had to be special forces or over 80 years old to wear a bucket hat?
  25. moog5050
    I have spent far more time than I care to admit tuning both compounds and trad bows. Good enough is usually good enough (unless you are obsessive like me) but 3-6" difference between BH (any BH) and FP at 20yds is not near good enough IMO. Definitely losing energy there. Walk back tuning is the easiest for most people.
