This nut job is going to be nothing but problems. He is trying to intimidate you to get what he wants. Will no doubt cut straps on stands, steal cams, and any number of nasty things, to ratchet up the intimidation factor. To either get you to leave, or get his way. In his twisted mind, he's been there longer than you, and it's "his" land!!! First thing, is to tell your landowner what happened. And that you were threatened. And that you'll be filing a report with the authorities. Then follow through with the report. They have dealt with this kind of stuff before, and most times will handle it professionally. Use exteam caution while scouting, hunting, or any time you are using this lease. And don't let your guard down. Most of all don't give in to this A-hole!!

Now that is something to celebrate! Good for you my friend! All your hard work and determination has paid off! And you are reaping the benefits of a healthier you! Two thumbs up and a high five!!!! Congratulations!

Don't count steps!!.....lol I take my grandsons old soccer ball and have him give it a kick in the air. Where it lands, he will place the target. Sometimes he'll mess with me and really kick it far, and laugh when I miss.

Yes. FP's were shooting great. Shot six arrows with field points into a nice tight group at 20 yards. Picked the "best" arrow and installed a lighted nock and broadhead, and the next shot was way high and right. With or without the lighted nock made no difference. Even tried different broadheads and arrows. Still all over the place. I will try some stuff this weekend. see what that does. Again......thanks to everyone trying to help me out of this!!!

Thanks so much! I appreciate the offer my friend. Going to try a couple things before I really hit the panic button. My time just got very limited. So I'll have to shoot when I can.
-
Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy your day sir!

Treating clothes with Permethrin is a small price to pay, to keep safe. No matter where you may be in NY. Deer ticks have been found in every county in the state.

Thanks again my friend! Not too much can go wrong with a longbow. Just an off morning for ya perhaps?
-
Not sure of the insert weight. But I did shoot some Bemen weight forward arrows with the same results. Thanks for the suggestion though. Like moog said, it's likely something simple. Just have to find what it is? I will work on it over the weekend. I do love this bow. And do have time to get it right and rebuild my confidence. I still plan to get some blood on it this season! Just hope it's not mine!!..lol

Da Bears still got beat. Even without a Double Doink!

Exactly!!! Biz was the best with the countdown!!! Guess he'll only count down when the Sox are winning?
-
Just saying..... You were so spot on with the countdown last year! You are much better at it than I am. Was hoping you'd keep it going this year too? And yeah....I am bustin your chops just a little. That's what Yanks and Sox fans do! All in good fun though. Going to be interesting once the playoffs start. Yanks have as much chance as anyone, of going all the way this year. Long overdue. We'll see?
-
Magic number for the Yankees....is 13 !! Biz doesn't seem to be keeping the count this year???
-
I will try this Brian. Looks like there is room to lower it without hitting the riser. About an eighth of an inch or so ya think? Thanks fellas for the help!

Great fishing, and awesome family memories. That's a great summer! Welcome back!

Two weeks ago, had the bow gone over axle to axle, for almost three hours, by the owner at an Obsession dealer bow shop. He checked everything. Then we paper tuned at the end, and it was perfect! Between then and when I put the broadhead and lighted nock on, it was shooting darts, out to 40 yards. With nice groups. Even got a robinhood! Shot a nice tight group with FP's at 20, then shot the BH. It was about 8" high and 5" right. WTH???... My old bow was always dead on making the switch to BHs. So I shot another one and another and another, all hitting the same spot. OK... So just adjusted sight. And got it better but not great. As one shot would be on and the next would be way off! Not consistent at all. Tried four different makes of fixed 100g broadheads, and three different kinds of arrows, two different spine stiffness. Seemed to be better near the end of the day, after chasing the arrows with sight adjustments. Then yesterday, first shot way off!!! Couldn't hit two arrows within four inches of each other! Up, down, and both sides, just all over the place! Now my sight is maxed out high, and can't get the 40 yard pin closer than 10" high. I concentrate on holding my form. Been bow hunting well over 40 years, so I got the basics down. But it's been a long time since I've lost my confidence like I have now in this set up. I've tried everything I can think of. Never had this problem before with any other bow. Maybe I should just take all the fancy stuff off, put on a whisker biscuit and a single pin sight, and go back to basics? Oh....shot the same arrows I'm have the problem with from my 20 year old bow. Dead nuts on........ Sorry for the long post that is off topic. Will try this the next time I shoot this weekend! Thank you.

After getting dialed in pretty good Sunday with broadhead, I was all over the place last night!! So aggravating to say the least!!! I did tighten things up a little better after quite a few shots. out to 30 yards. But sight is maxed out all the way up, and 40 yards is hitting real high......argg!! Perhaps a new sight will be better for this bow. May put an HHA on it?? Still not confident in this bow since I put on the broadheads. Was a dream with field points. I may be going back to my old bow to hunt this year. Never had to change a thing with that old Mathews from FP's to BH's. Getting close now, might just break out old reliable to get my confidence back.

I've used a turkey vest in the past. But I find a fanny pack with military surplus LBE straps works better for me. Keeps everything at waist level and out of the way, if I need to draw the bow. And just one clip to take off and hang up within reach while I sit.
-
Hope I never get on YOUR bad side!!! Ol' Mr. skunk better relocate fast, because that relentless sodbuster RHF, is planning an early demise for you. And it won't be pretty. But could be pretty stinky! We will see who has the last laugh in this epic saga! Stay tuned folks!!!
-
Happy Birthday Eddie!!! 78 years YOUNG!!!! Way to go my friend. Enjoy all the good stuff coming your way today sir!

Listen to her and go get checked out.

With the Carbon Express Piledrivers and a 100 grain head, it will be around 400 total grains. That shoots very well from both my crossbows. The doe I shot with this set up, died within seconds of being shot. And the bolt was buried halfway in the ground, after passing through.

Enjoy every minute. Before ya know it, HIS son will be a senior in HS. That's where I'm at this year.
