Let's see how close you can get to one before you shoot it, I think I still hold the distance to beat at roughly 9ft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, once agin I am against full inclusion but I have to laugh at your response. So it's ok to use the most modern compound, with an electronic rangefinder, scent lock clothes, cover scents, shooting carbon arrows, lighted pins, lighted nocks etc because of its "perception of tradition?" What in the hell is traditional about most bow hunters today? I am opposed to inclusion because bow season was something you had to earn. Although compounds are way easier to shoot than trad bows you still have to put a little time and effort into killing critters with them. An Xbow is a sight in and hunt weapon, zero practice needed. But like everything else in this day and age people don't want to put in work but still want things. Part of this is people's lives changing many people don't have time to shoot for weeks or months before season. In my opinion too bad, should have chose a different career if hunting was important.

I have been there as well, I used to have a 300lb rule but that went out the window at midnight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My recommendation, try and find a used vx3, the I series is cheaper than the original 3's really only 1 way to make scopes cheaper that that is the glass. Maybe the new cheaper glass is as good I don't know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been around a lot of dead bears and usually guess a little low but I don't think that's a 200lb dressed bear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't speak for the new I series but I have a bunch of vx3's and VX2's the 3's are worth the extra money in glass alone and 1.5oz won't be noticeable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just hedgerows and a 10acre ravine that's too thick to hunt. There is a small chunk of open hardwoods but deer don't bed in it because it's very open. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not even a pull up rope for your bow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand that but my point is how is it worrisome about Xbow technology but not other aspects of hunting? Like it or not Xbows are here to stay we can only hope we don't get full inclusion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Question for everyone. The last 400acres of corn within 5 miles are getting finished being picked today they said around noon. I can Hunt all the fields as well as the surrounding land. Do I get in the corner of the hedge row where I can cover 4 fields or do I hunt the green fields around them? Daylight sightings have been down since that has been the last of he corn so I'm assuming there was a bunch of deer in it. There isn't much cover around close by other than an I hunt-able ravine that is too thick to see your nose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No big deal just tie a bow hook to your pull up rope and fish it up, done it a bunch of times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a beautiful morning to be in the woods! Now I just need to see some deer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Crossbow hunting has been the second fastest growing hunting weapon since the 70's. We were shielded from it here in NY because it got its legs down south. Crossbow technology has been making big gains for over 20 years. Now I am totally against full inclusion however technology is changing hunting at a very rapid pace and not just Xbows. Compounds are quieter and easier to shoot than ever before. You can buy a rifle and scope for under 400$ that will shoot under 1moa regularly. Trail cameras that send pictures to your phone the second it's taken. An ozonics that masks your scent while in a tree, the list could go on for days. All of these things are technological advances that were unheard of 10 or 20 years ago. If I remember correctly you are on your first crossbow. Many of the guys that have been in the Xbow game for a long time have realized that speed doesn't matter, many of them believe the same thing I do that 340-360fps is the sweet spot for a crossbow. Look at the new mission that just came out its their top of the line bow that costs 1700$ and it's rated at 350fps and they can't make them fast enough. Most of the scorpyd guys I know are using the 100lb limbs because that's where they shoot the best and are quite. One day technology will have a breakthrough and we may be shooting Xbows at 500fps and by them compounds will be over 400. Both XBows and compounds are against a wall with technology. Xbows want speed while being narrow and compounds want speed but have to find it with 70lb draw. The ravine was a game changer but in a 2 second Google search you can find that they are having a ton of problems with them and the company is in trouble with a ton of lawsuits against them. Scorpyd' shave been around for over 10 years and have been the speed bow since they were new and most people have never heard of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Enjoying a nice cool walk in the woods. Wish it was colder but 35 will work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's called technology doc, the computer you're typing in doesn't look the same as one from 30 years ago. The cellphone I'm typing on doesn't look the same as 30 years ago. The truck I'm about to drive to go go hunting is the same as they were 30yrs ago. Everything I have listed has become more efficient doing more in a smaller package "minus truck," becoming faster and/or lighter is the name of the game for nearly every item we buy today. I'm assuming you're not a Mennonite or a Amish given that you're posting on the Internet but approximately what year's technology do you think was good enough to stop at?

Found some deer, let a small buck go that I could have shot in his bed. In a stand till dark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Longest sit of the year and only saw 2 does 2 hrs apart. Putting some slop in my gullet and getting back out there for an evening walk with the rifle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a bottom end Xbow, many I owners like you are realizing that a sub 300$ bow can cost double that by the time you get usable bots and optics yet you still have a sub 300$ Xbow with a terrible trigger. Makes a much better 5-600$ Xbow not seem so bad in the long run. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ehh, kinda. Still should be confirmed at all ranges you intend to shoot at. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not a lawyer but to me that email says you're "ok" to carry both. Would a field officer after reading that email change his mind on writing you a ticket? I don't know but I don't put much faith in them. This coming from some who was written a ticket for not having a plug in my shotgun while hunting doves in NC, I was using an over under... Would it be worth it for me? HELL NO, and not because I'm afraid of the legal BS but because carrying both would be a pain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And that is why I don't buy guns from box stores, glad they had someone to help them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess I misunderstood you. If someone is out hunting with and expecting to use a bdc and hasn't confirmed distance for hold points than they absolutely shouldn't be using it. My point is generic bdc' are fine as long as you know the 3rd line is dead on at 252yds and not 300. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is she big enough to shoot a full size gun or does she have to shoot a youth/woman's rifle? If so it will be difficult to find a compact chambered in 270-25-06. I have a 270 and a 25-06 in the same rifle and I don't see any noticeable difference in recoil between the two but I feel they both have more recoil than a 7mm-08. If she shoots a 243 now there is very little difference in recoil between that and the -08. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
