I have been using Montec G5's for years since they first came out. Thought I'd give some mechanical a try. I have read and heard that they are tough. Anyone using these?

Another method that is very close as well is: Stand 90 degrees to a wall. Place your closed fist against the wall. Turn your head toward the wall and look at your fist. Measure from the wall above your fist to the corner of your mouth. I just measured mine this way at 28 1/4 and my draw length is 28" I just measure my wingspan at 70.5 and divided by 2.5 = 28.2 Certainly between the wingspan divided by 2.5 and the method I described it should by accurate.

Trust me... many don't consider FOC.

This where most hunters/people go wrong. I can't speak for any one else but I bet most of us did just this above the first bow we bought. Some bow shops really do care about setting up a hunter properly and others just can't wait to get on to the next customer. Some of us just bought a bow... slapped some accessories on it... shot it 100 times and went out hunting. The best time to get your bow ready is in the Spring of the year at a bow shop. They have time, they are bored and that's when you can get there undivided attention. If you go to the bow shop in August you will probably get the quick and out the door and on to the next customer. A good bow shop with consider arrow weight, FOC when setting up your arrows in addition to guiding you in the right direction a far as a bow within your budget.

PERFECT!!

Geno, see my PM I sent you.

I would think twice about this outfit. See link, a crook!! http://www.timesobserver.com/page/content.detail/id/564070/Grand-Valley-man-indicted-in-Ill---.html

My son now shoots the Diamond maxed at just over 60lbs.

To me, there are 3 factors when building a hunting arrow. 1 - Total arrow weight 2 - Front of Center (FOC) 3 - Spine I have researched this til the cows come home and actually made a tutorial that can be viewed here on this forum at: http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/5030-how-i-built-my-arrows/ Speed is great but Kinetic Energy is better. A heavier arrow, especially an arrow that is balanced with the correct FOC will out perform a fast and light arrow for hunting purposes. They are more forgiving if the shot is a bit off... they fly better in windy conditions (more like a dart)... they will penetrate bone better, etc.

I know most people seem to like the CVT transmissions (belt like snowmobile) but I find for hunting and quiet I like the 5 speeds better therefore I recommend you look for a Yamaha 400 Big Bear. Mine is a 2002 and has been great since new. I put a silencer on the exhaust and it's perfect for hunting.

Some vulgarity! Turn down around children. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acLW1vFO-2Q

There is your answer. Record their dogs and when they are home play it loud through your speakers and leave for a couple of hours. They will get the message. They will probably eventually call the cops and then you tell the cops - " well this is what I have to listen to all day. this is their dogs on the recording". Brilliant!!!!

The day the mom's went to work was the beginning of the end. When the mom stayed home the children got the proper upbringing. This was the start of the decline of the Family Unit. This all started in the 50's. The 2 parent family began to fall apart. Mom and dad both worked, the kids went to daycare. The parents came home tired and less time was spent raising the children. The fathers would cheat now and then on the wife b/c she was too tired to take care of him sexually but the day the wives went to work it just got worse because now both sides cheated. Alcohol became more popular and then it was followed by pot and then other drugs followed. Addiction fuels crime and once you are busted for drugs and DUI's you become marked and never get a decent job again. Then people thought marriage was no longer necessary, it's is just a piece of paper they say and living together became the normal. Marriage was no longer the sacred institution it once was and couples did not work at and just divorced. Then a woman has a child with a man she lived with for a few months... they have a fight and tell each other to Frig Off and then the cycle continues. The woman has another boyfriend and he moves in or visa versa and another child is born. The women signs up for assistance and never gets off it again. Another man moves in the cycle continues. Look at the Births in the paper... it's running about 60% to unwed parents or single mothers. No father figures, No stability. TV becomes the parent. The TV is filled with violence. The child gets desensitized to this violence. There is no one tell him right from wrong. The homosexuality is shoved down our throats in the news and in TV programs. They say they should be able to get married and have children like heterosexual couple do. They say won't grow up any different living in this new era family with daddy and daddy or mommy and mommy. Well we will see how this whole thing works out soon enough. blah blah blah and the beat goes on...

excellent!! try Yingling Porter or Black & Tan. Both really good. Personally I like both better than the Saranac Black Forest.

I have 1 pin set at 25 yrds. I practice out to 35 and hold just at the top of the back and it drops into the kill zone. 1 pin IMO, Is the way to go for hunting applications.

Get a Single Pin sight. Set it up for 25 yards. If you need to shoot out at 35 yards aim high. Too many pins mess things up and you might be sorry. Practice on a deer target at various distances and you will be good out to 40. I use a Tru-Glo single pin Pendulum.

I have taken the 8th and the 12th off all day. I have some mornings and afternoons open and will probably just take them as I can rather than take as vacation days. I do prefer mid week days as there tends to be less likelihood of other hunters messing things up.

Oh I have other times to hunt as well... weekends, short mornings (go to the office late), early afternoons where I can be in the stand by 3:30. My schedule this time of year can be more flexible and my staff and superiors know this. If was going to take a few days which week would be best. I'm leaning toward the later week, 11-15.

I am planning on taking a week off in November. I was planning on either Nov. 4 thru 8 OR 11 thru 15. Here is a link: http://wiredtohunt.com/2013/07/02/2013-rut-predictions-prepare-for-a-late-whitetail-rut/ Your thoughts?

My son and I use G5 Montec's exclusively.

Shot this little guy again yesterday. It does not like standard CCI 40gr 1070fps ammo. I shot about 25 rounds through it and it failed to eject about 4 times. Shot 50 rounds of CCI 40gr Velocitors at 1475 fps and ran flawlessly. Hear this to be true about the gun and it was. Pretty accurate at 30 ft. Shot a few inches left and there is no adjustment. Confident at 15 ft or less it's deadly though.
