  1. so true wow i shoot all year long [the bow] and practice like crazy now close to hunting season my wife sees the change in me thats all i think about. last year im sitting in my stand the last day of bow season friday i'm opening a piece of candy not looking or paying attention and a deer come out right under my stand from behind me to the front and stands there 30 yrds well i prepared for this all year and what happens my arrow hits the rail when i raised the bow off the hook and CLANG!!! now its b/s that deer dont look up she looked right at me i stand up and draw and she trots off i didnt see another shooter all gun season. so you can prepare all year but when the opportunity arises you have to be ready it happens in an instant
  2. hey i think you might have too heavy an arrow i looked on a chart i think theres one on here . i shoot beman carbon 28'' @ 400 spine and im shooting 60 lbs. sorry i tried to attach one here and you are deffently shooting too heavy a head try 100 grain . thats what i shoot and like the other guys said i shoot the rage broadhead. getting back to the chart you fell into 400 arrows too with your draw length and draw weight google arrow weight chat and you'll see different charts i looked on the one for compound bows and carbon arrows
  3. i have a friend in Houston and i lived through sandy we got hit really hard i was lucky i'm not in the flood zone [but very close] thank god i had no wind damage we had alot of trees down though. my prayers are with them
  4. i feel it too it started when i got my license and doe tag now its getting a little cooler [even in the city] im not going in the pool w/ my grandson much and i'm getting the itch know its close and starting to look on cabelas and dicks and pro bass shops i did an inventory of my stuff . oh and i started to work out getting in shape i tried on my hunting clothes and my hunting jacket it was a little tight. i bought another bow [used but newer than what i have] and been practicing my axx off. we were up at the house getting ready ALOTof work fixing tree stands and hedge hogging and work on the house but every week end something comes up so its hard whos going to italy, whos got baby showers and block parties and birthday parties to attend i jealous of you guys that live upstate and can just go out and get ready after work and when you have free time
  5. if i remember correctly remington didnt offer different grades of the BDL but offered the adl which was a lower grade of the model 700 was a plain rifle . winchester offered the model 70 in different grades like the safari grade and such but not remington if im wrong please correct me but dont shoot me lol
  6. was it a short barreled rifle if it was its a model 700 or model 7 mountain rifle very light gun maybe 6 lbs the most quick shooting
  7. try circuit training thats what i do it combines cardio and weights and your done in a 1/2 hr you start on the bike or treadmill but bike is best [@ 57 and a knee replacement running's out] for 2 min then no stopping go to any machine thats available you know how gyms are curl ,triceps lat or bench machine 2 mins LIGHT weight dont stop go back to the bike 2 mins, back to the machine 2mins and so on till you are done you can work your legs arms chest in one work out just take your time and go @ your own pace you'll see it works once you get in a rhythm
  8. wow this is so true but man 30-40 yrs ago new york state was amazing i mean 3hrs drive to some of the best and i mean the best hunting and fishing on the east coast. i never went far believe it or not brooklyn sheepshead bay you could grab a boat 12 months of the year nite whiting and cod all winter long[ man you talk about cold] in the fall and spring flounder and blackfish and blues and fluke all summer . freeport was good too never really went to montauk or orient pt. didnt have to.hunting i hunted all over the catskills and long island i work the weekend so i was off on tues, and wed. i would go to long island for pheasants and rabbits during the week and just get in the car and go. i always hunted the coops tenmile river,stewart airport,and the dutchess cnty coop all you had to do was show up and give them your license and pick a spot. and getting back to fishing i fished the reservoirs had gotten the permit for a long time and surf fishing right in rockaway the best striped bass any where. wow too much to list but now sadly things have changed with the regulations i mean travel 3-4 [without traffic lol] for one striped bass and we lost alot of hunting areas. and shooting too use to go to suffork county range on rt 110 in farmingdale well thats gone too and too developed now . hope we have a future for my grandsons to enjoy
