  1. I will looking into learning all I can after the season
  2. Doc I would have much rather have a honest opinion. This guy isn't the only shop in town. I just we there bc I took my bow coarse there and my brother said he's good
  3. Shawnhu. I have no idea what paper tuning is. If the bows not ready tomorrow should I take it from the shop and see if one of the big box stores can just throw a D loop on and the other stuff I need done?
  4. So I bought a used bow off the interweb and shot it last weekend (first time shooting a compound) I thought it started to sound funny so I brought to a local shop to have it tuned up. Also the sight was loose and wanted a d loop put on it. Dropped it off Monday and the guy said it will be ready by Wednesday. I thought great I just need it for the weekend bc I'm heading to camp for 4 days and I want to sight it in and practice. Well stopped in today and he hasnt even touched the bow and said well it may be done tomorrow if not Tuesday for sure. I khow that this guy is prolly swamped right now this close to the season but I hate it when people tell you one thing and do the opposite. Well I told the guy what he had told me and he said he'll have it done tomorrow morning... ( was planing on leaving tonight) guess my plans have changed. This guy seems to have certain customers that when they stop in he'll drop what ever he is doing to help them out. I just hope he does everything he told me he was going to do otherwise I need a new bow shop lol Sorry for the rant just hate when plans change
  5. Go to a bow shop. That's the best way or you can get a rough Idea by using a tape measurer
  6. I was just shooting my bow last weekend. First time ever even shooting a compound. I bought a Fred bear element used This was my best group at 20 yards. It's a little low and right but I am still working out the bugs to get it dialed in. It's at the shop now getting tuned up
  7. Not sure if this topic has been covered in another forum but here it goes. The fall gun raffle season is coming and I was wondering how many of you go to raffles? I go to 3-4 and buy tickets to some other ones but don't attend. Also what do you guys look for in a gun raffle or what do you consider a good raffle? Me personally it's all about the food seeing as I hardly win a gun. Actually I have never won one. My cousin who is 12 has one 2.
  8. I put the trail cam up after I was done putting the stand up. I did see some buck tracks on the intersection but the bucks around here have bad genetics so I'm not to hopeful the deer will look like some of the others on here.
  9. I put my stand up today and it looks to be in a prime location on my property for archery. Lots of tracks near it. I put it at a cross roads of 5 old logging trails at the bottom of my hill. Walking the property today looked for sign I didn't see any clear cut deer trails but I did see a lot of tracks all over and kicked up a doe. Bonus was seeing three turkey. Didn't see one all spring and the neighbor who lives across the street and is here year round hasn't seen any yet.
  10. I cannot wait for rabbit season. I just hope my spot isn't a gravel pit yet. Our best day last year was 18 rabbits with 7 guys with no dogs.
  11. Anyone been out or heard if they are coming in yet? Heard they were starting to come in slowly at the salmon river but heard that a week ago
  12. Just do research before you do sign up with anyone. You can go to .http://www.newyorkpowertochoose.com/ and they list all the suppliers that are available in ny. Also list what there current rates are and what the utility's supply rate is. There are like 30 at this point. Some good some not

  14. I just passed my test as well. Test was hard. The instructor did a review before it and gave all the correct answers before we took it
  15. I bought a tree stand a few months ago and have yet to put it up. It's a ladder stand. I was wondering if it makes a difference when I put it up. Now or closer to the season? Or does it not matter?
  16. When I was 12 I volunteered to cut my spare lot because he had a riding lawn mower. Well after the first time cutting the lawn the mower broke. That was a long year of mowing the lawn
  17. I need a new cable and string on my 2006 Fred bear element any recommendation of a buffalo area shop that does decent work but also won't break the bank? I'll be calling around today but a heads up would help. Thanks in advance
  18. Anyone own one? I'm looking to get into bow hunting this is in my price range is it worth the money?
  19. It says that the law will only be used for pistols and assault rifle caliber weapons. And that the coding will be etched in the base of the round so reloaders will be able to reload. <- was not trying to sound supportive of this legislation at all. You know no ammo manufacturers will actually do this so that means it will be even more difficult to find ammo
  20. Do you need a bow to take the test?
  21. Do you have any neighbors that live there year round
  22. Any local gun clubs in the buffalo area offer skeet or trap shooting to the public?
