Very sad. I met Charlie once. He was very nice. Losing a good one that young is saddening. RIP Sir.

The de-cocking feature is certainly a nice addition. Both of my Xbows can also be de-cocked without shooting. It's a shame that the NY regs don't allow many of the newer, hotter Xbow selections to be legally utilized.

From what I'm told, the ECO (female) in my area is a real piece of work. They say she'd ticket her own mother. I've not yet had an encounter with her... but I could imagine it not going well.

Really ??? WOW.

The new Scorpyd DS is pretty solid. There have been some minor concerns regarding the cocking sled hitting the barrel supports (on one side) but it is not a major issue (apparently). It's the lightest Scorpyd and plenty fast.

Cute little buggar!

Politicians oath of office... Spending other people's money is fun!

Guess I'm just an old fart. I do not pick and choose what laws to obey. As much as I detest these stupid NY regs, I will comply with them until they change. It would be just my luck to be the one hunter checked and have illegal equipment confiscated. No thanks.

I remember (long ago) my Dad telling me... it's not what you make, it's what you spend! Several states (such as my home state of Florida) have no state income tax. Coming from NY, it was a welcomed treat.

It's easy for the deer. They just turn to page 1 of The Deer Survival Manual. It clearly lists all the hunting zones and dates for them to memorize. LOL

The stupid NY laws for draw weight and width rule out a lot of solid choices. On the recurve front, Kodabow is as solid as they come. It's built like a tank, and I have never heard anything about limb splintering (think Excalibur) or other issues. Mission makes very good Xbows... some allow for string changeout without pressing. My favorite "hunting" designed Xbow is Camx. Supposedly, they are coming out with a new, quieter model in 2018. Some of the current ones (the 330) will likely be available at discounted pricing. I'd be scoping things out after the upcoming ATA show.

It is indeed. Thanks.

Stupid law. Stupid concept. Stupid Governor.

I have a beautiful Air Arms 200 HC and typically shoot (very accurately) Beeman Precision Airgun FTS pellets. They are .22 caliber and weigh 14.66 gr. Squirrels hate these!

That is a dandy. Should look great on the wall.

Two things. Just because a tick does not die right before your eyes does not mean that it hasn't picked up a lethal dose. Secondly, there has been some reported Pyrethroid resistance in some tick species. I do not (however) think it's a major issue................ yet!

M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S ... everybody!

So, what are you reading? My research indicated that about 80% of Americans will see tax relief. That's not half bad.

So, R U a Master?

Many Arthropods have amazing survival abilities. They will be here long after we are worm food.

So, you just announced to the Universe that you are illegally baiting deer?

Dain bramage?

Coyote DRT. Good deal. Congrats.
