I rattled two in early season this year but passed on them. Saw them about 100yds away and they did come to me after some ratting. I know phade rattled one a few years ago while using a decoy and shot him. I have had far more success with grunts than rattling.

Nice find. Looks like a 2015 death being so bleached out. Maybe early season.

Good, I will have someone to shoot with. We can do some 300 NFAA shooting a few nights a week. When you can score 240s plus regularly, the deer better be nervous!

Border Covert Hunter and Morrison wood 15" ILF with Max 4 limbs, please!

Not one you want to lose for sure. Nice job on the repair

Got mass? Nice!

Biz You are probably drawing with your arm and not your back. The draw arm shoulder rotates out and down. Some call it a rotational draw because you rotate the shoulder, not just pull back with the arm. When you hit full draw with proper alignment, you can really feel it lock in because the stress from bow arm runs through the bones all the way to the rear shoulder. Bone on bone pressure and very little muscle used. It becomes easy to hold. hard to explain, but you are definitely not in proper alignment yet - which is completely normal starting out. Check out BEST archery practices. http://www.mfaa-archery.org/Tech-Support/Archery_Form_Handbook.pdf They really explain well how to use the proper muscles to achieve alignment. Its simply not intuitive. And TCIII is right, the nock should line up with the bottom of the eye (vertical line down) when fully drawn. Alignment and drawing with the proper muscles are critical. With a compound I shot fine at hunting distances just arm drawing, but I really began to learn to draw more correctly when I moved to a recurve and began studying it a bit. Then my compound shooting improved too. Good luck!

That works. Didn't realize it was adjustable.

PM me. I have tons of it that I am not using. Useless soft metal.

Biz If you are holding a full 70lbs at full draw, using this to learn to shoot a bow may do more harm than good. Its like buying a recurve and being over-bowed. Impossible to learn good form. Most of the time, it causes more harm than good in terms of proper form. You should use a weight you can manage easily and no newbie nor most experienced archers manage a full 70lbs at full draw well. Just something to think about. Frankly the same advice applies if you are only holding 45-50lbs. Its a lot for a new archer.

I am now officially declining to attend any get together with Pygmy!

It's that good. Local beef, local made cheese, home made pretzel bun! Oh man, I might have to get back there soon. It's a micro brewery to for those that enjoy beer. Funny part is that it's in the mall. Lol

There is a capital district in New York? If you are cooking TF, I will find it. You make some good eats. Or Biz just buys dinner at one of the high end places. Best cheeseburger in NY - skewed brewery in Watertown. Good enough that I have driven 2 hours both ways just to eat there several times. Good fried pickles too!

Great story and buck!

I suspect your pops will be very happy! Nice job Law.

You might want to shed hunt that first area. lol

Looks even bigger there. That is a big cat.

I have tried logging every hunt twice and gave up both times. Just too much work. But maybe if I limited the log to successful hunts I would stick with it. I have much fewer of those to log. lol

Great buck. Congrats coach!

Happy B-Day!

Congrats to the young man! Now on to the second buck of a lifetime!

Hey Coach

Not sure FSI but the scoring sheet says that for typical an extra point can be measured but is not included for score. Agreed that there are no deducts but it appears extra points don't get included. Check it out. Maybe I am misunderstanding what that means.

I think a typical with an extra point/tine does not include the measurement of the extra point for SCI scoring. So, its not a deduction like PY and BC, but doesn't include all of the bone. At least, that's how I read the scoring sheet.

Good eye, that explains it
