Dang I thought the thread title ment it was a political post.

Who carries a handgun while hunting?
Nytracker replied to pitweiler's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
Hard to decide which one but for deer my sbhh in 44 mag gets some love 240 grain xtp over 21.5 grains of h110. But then again the rifle hasn't been out of the safe in more than a few years. -
I carried an 1187 20 gauge first year I tracked. There is no good way to carry a long gun in and out of heavey brush while handling a dog . I carried a glock 21 plus p load with a lazer after that. My choice in revolver would be a super Redhawks convertible 45 lc/45acp. Cheap practice with 45 acp .Enough energy with the 45 lc.Heavey for caliber hard cast bullet. Probably something 300 plus grains. Looking for a bullet with mass and energy to pass through dense fur break heavey bone end exit.

Got to love a big gaping wound

I know it's an old post but I have to wonder what caliber did you end up with and what platform?
-
20 degrees 5 to 10 mph wind 6 inches of snow . Cold enough deer have to feed and most people cant hang.

Rain ok heavy winds not so much .. gear is ready I'm headed out in the morning may lay low in the afternoon work on the last of winter prep . Back at it Sunday good luck to you all

Thanks for the video ... that freaking arrow on the collar is tiny. Lol
-
Aim small miss small my friend.
-
Good to know about kinetic energy drops so smallshould have looked at that. That is subjective based on overall energy/speed and weight of bolt per set up I would imagine.
-
Kind of figured they put them in package for a reason just concerned
-
Thanks for the info core... shock collar really stiffens up the blades while in retracted position.

Not that I condone shots at longer distances but I have been practicing with my crossbow out to 60 yds. My self imposed limit with my outfit is 35 yds for hunting. Back many moons ago with the verticle bow use to shoot an 80 yard walk up in field archery. Practice at longer ranges magnifies mistakes and made me a better shot. Same with the crossbow for me . I have heard alot of people talk about how easy a crossbow is to shoot at 100 yds shots . I don't see it . After I sited in I practiced sitting kneeling off sticks and off hand, and yes even off the garage roof. I think a person with the right said up could take longer shots but I honestly believe the risks out way the rewards for me.

G man thanks for the info . Are you using the shock collar that came with the broadhead?
-
New to crossbow. Trying rage 100gr crossbow broadheads. They shoot well out of my crossbow at targets . I have no experiance with this mechanical for hunting,but have seen alot of deer kills on the tube. Please don't make it a debate of fixed versus mechanical as I don't have time or money to try a different broadhead this year. Real experience requested. I will be shooting from a wickedridge invader 4 at advertised 360 fps. 20 inch tenpoint bolts. I happen to have a boar black bear on camera every 3 days or so so there is potential a shot. He appears to be 300 lbs or so. Any helpful insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Some of the names look familiar from other forums have to wonder if you are the same folks.

I have trolled Ontario a few times had some good fishing but fingerlakes are much closer to home sold my boat 8 years ago. So many hobbies so little time and money... lol

3 kids all family... too far to walk to my end of the road

I flyfish for trout . Go north for steelhead a few times a year. I have a couple contenders currently working up loads for 357max. The older contenders had problems with long chambers. I have an encore 15 inch in 308 that's lights out too 200 yds. But I prefer my revolvers.

She was doing something... sheesh now I'm gonna have to watch it again

Spray them with pam or what ever before you use them. Soak in hot water and it wipes right off for me. Works great for smokers trays to .

Wicked ridge invader with rage 2 blade 100gr

Hey ,been lurking for a few months decided it was time to go legit. Had some minor issues getting started but I finally got an e mail activating my account. I have been hunting and fishing NY 36 or so years now. I live in Chemung county and have a small parcel of land in Stueben . I use to bow hunt up to 2 years ago until I injured my shoulder. 2 years of hoping and wishing I finally gave up and bought a crossbow. This will be my first crossbow season. Excited doesn't cover it. I hunt regular big game gun with revolvers. I reload and my current favorite is the 480 ruger followed by 44 mag. I apparently like all guns to start with a 4 however I have been toying with the idea of adding a 5 to the mix. I have gleaned alot of info here so far and hope I can return in kind.
