DOR, I actually wanted to get away from pass-throughs. I was always losing arrows. I was shooting my Outback at 70 lbs, with Gold Tips topped with 100gr Spitfires( 100% pass through). They blew a hole comparable to a deer slug, dropped the bird where it stood, but always resulted in a lost...

I ordered a Black Widow SAII a few weeks ago. Of coarse dropping about a grand on stick and a string never goes over well with a non-archer...especially if they are married to you . While I wait for the bow to arrive, I've been battling with the decision of what arrow material to use. I...

It just proves you're an observant man Super!...I was wondering who would be the first to notice

Yea, Super, I'm going to mount the old TM style rest on the bow after turkey season's over.... you're right, whiskers and feathers don't get along! I wanted to get a pic of the fletchings on the arrow, nocked. I was tempted to shoot it, but talked myself out of it . I'll try to put a pictoral...

I read a how-to article on splicing colors into a feather and figured I'd give it a shot..... wow, what a blast! The options are endless. I think it's a great way to put a personal touch on arrows you fletch yourself. I put and arrow togather with black fletching with yellow spliced into it...

Cloaca..... AWSOME man!! Like I said in the PM, I can't wait to get my son out with me! It looks as if you posted all the bird data, I'll need the rest of the info on the list I sent you for the calls. Great job buddy!

The Matrix had your name written all over it.

Thanks guys!! I looked over all the sites mentiioned and found a lot of great info in all of them. Thanks again.

I'm wondering if you guys know of any other good traditional bow sites. I've looked at tradbow.com., stickbow.com, etc. You guys know of any other good ones?

When I hunted with a gun I always used buffered loads. I used a BPS with a Invector Turkey Choke and 3 in buffered Duplex loads. The shells were loaded with copper plated 4's and 6's. I tried a lot of loads before I discovered those patterened the best. Each gun likes a different load. You...

Congrats Limb! I have to drive back to Iowa City tomorrow so I can't hunt in the morning. Nice bird(s) man!!

Tell your Dad, congrats man! I think a bearded hen is as much a trophy as a mature tom... and with a bow.... sweet!

<font color="red"> Dial-O-Fletch Fletchmaster by Bitzenburger!! </font> Easily adjustable, heavy construction and very accurate. I would't recommend anything else.

Nice target Critr! Rack, I'm familiar with the compressed cardboard method like Muddy. I worked at Cenral Range in Dubuque for several years and rebuilt those targets countless times. I don't have pictures but could draw it for you if that would help.

Muddy, I think I'd probably just ask for the wing bones and feathers of the wing you won't be using. I figure most guys only have one jig to fletch with and it's right or left...I'll make fletchings out of the wing you use and keep the wing you don't. I use fletchings from both wings( on...

Hey NW, try shooting a bare shaft to see how your bow is tuned. If you can shoot a bare shafted arrow reasonably well at 15-20 yards, you can fletch your target arrows with fletching shorter than 4 inches. IMO, a 5 inch fletch is overkill for a bow that is tuned properly. Why put more on if...

It's a blast to do isn't it Rut? Yea, I thought of using a rubber mallet too... the board is made of maple so I grabbed the closest bludgeoning device and started in I still may get a rubber or plastic mallet to use though. Thanks man, it's a good idea

Re: potatoe peeler sweet!! I'm trying it!

Thanks to whomever made my post a "sticky".
