Geno C Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I am getting pretty pumped going into this season, seeing great deer and a few really nice mature bucks that i have been documenting. Going into this season i wanted to change a few things, first off i got a new scope on the 870. I got a Nikon Slug Hunter (BDC). Sweet scope! its all mounted and bore sighted, just have to get my butt to the range. Also bought a new ground blind, always good to have. I took the bow out to start slinging some sticks and i noticed my switchback XT had developed a bit of a sound upon release so i took that in for a tune and also added a sweet dead end string stop. Bow is grouping great at 30 so far and is dead quiet! feels faster as well... i really have been doing my homework on watching the deer herd and i want to make sure there will be nothing that my equipment can do to come between me and that animal. If it does i can chalk it up to human error. Also me and my dad bought about 7 more stands and strap on ladders with some other goodies as well. alls i can say is i am pumped to say the least!! anyone else?

Geno C Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 yeah i really want to start shootong at around the 50 mark to make those 20-30 yaders a chip... shooting in my yard i can only shoot out to 30, with the right angle i can shoot out just a bit more but im not pushing it. i should take the 3d out to the farm and shoot out there.

sweet old bill Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 sounds like you guys are just about all set. I also am shooting at the 35 yard to 40 yard mark with the bow and both rifles are sighted in with one having a new 3 to 9 scope on it. I also shoot 3 times a week a 32 target 3D course all at un marked yardage. I have a bad leg and no longer can go in tree stands to I will be in Sept making up some more ground blinds. I use a rope around 3 tree, burlap camo material and then brush in. I also put a plastic chair ( green) from Walmart at each location. The chair has a tag on it with my name, phone and asks the person not to move or take as I am a physically challenged hunter. But feel free to use the blind etc....So far in 15 years I have lost only 2 chairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a great idea, I moved back to 50 this year with my new bow and it helps alot at 20, 30, and 40. I am ready for the year, my season opens here in the northern zone at the end of the month.

Fantail Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I like to practice at 30. I can do 40 from the end of the driveway if not for the neigbots or passing traffic. Back to topic though, new additions would be a CVA 209, ladderstand, a dozen radial x-weaves, thought about a pair of ultimate camo pants.
