    2TC - good techniques? how to practice?

    This is the video that I'm trying to mimic and he makes it look so easy. You have to pay attention to the details of what exactly he's doing or it won't work. I'm using a CGM foot loop to make it more comfortable and it's attached to a Garda Hitch for adjustments in length. (in this photo I'm...

    2TC - good techniques? how to practice?

    I've tried this 2TC method a couple of times without success. I think my problem may be with the starting point and I should use 1 foot loop instead of a double foot loop for both feet. I'm going to give it another try and see if I can coordinate the line for my saddle and the line for my foot...

    Dragonfly Repellent

    I had a lot of positive comments about wearing one of them on the back of my hat, at an archery shoot, yesterday in southern Michigan. I never had any bugs of any kind bother me, throughout the course. :cool: I found a 3 pack, but here's a good price on an 8 piece package...

    Backyard Buck

    When the farmers cleaned out their soy bean planter, they dumped what they had left on the ground. I've been watching this buck for a while, but he's always been much further out into the bean field....until he discovered these beans on the ground. :) He's about 55 yards in these photos that I...

    New Varmint Killing Machine

    That's a sweet looking setup!!! :cool: What bullet weight/type/brand are you loading? I may end up trying some sub-sonic loads with my Ruger American 450 Bushmaster. I'm currently running a 250 gr. Hornady FTX JHP bullet at 2550 fps. Very accurate out to 200+ yards and I've never lost a deer...

    Here's an interesting statistic on Dragonflies.

    New Varmint Killing Machine

    I've shot groundhogs as close as 20 yards with the 22-250 and it really splatters them....not that it matters. However, I use it for longer range shots, out to 500 yards. The suppressor tames it down to where it sounds like the air brakes being set on a semi or an air chuck being removed from an...

    New Varmint Killing Machine

    I'm having a banner year for whistle pigs! This is #6 and #7 for the Savage 22-250. This is #23 for the M&P Sport 15-22, which makes 30 groundhogs for the year. :cool:

    What Broadhead are you Using this Season?

    I've shot with Roger and his son, Ron at a 3D shoot in Upper Sandusky, many years ago. The Rothhaar Snuffers are a great broadhead, but about the time I thought I'd use one, someone would tell me a hunting situation where they had a bad experience with it. :rolleyes: So, I've never tried them...

    PA Finally Gets Sunday Hunting

    Congratulations to my neighbors to the east! I've never hunted PA, but I'm glad to hear Sunday hunting is getting approved.

    What Broadhead are you Using this Season?

    @BLR1970 I shot my first Steel Force 175 gr. on a doe, just 2 years ago and she dropped in sight too. :) Good to hear more success stories with this broadhead! :cool:

    What Broadhead are you Using this Season?

    3 Rivers Archery has a sale going on and I figured it better to order now, before the "pre-season" rush. Steel Force 4-blade in a 3-pack for $19.99. :) They're offered in 130 grains with an aluminum ferrule or 200 grains with a steel ferrule. I ordered 4 packages of the 200 gr. steel ferrules...

    Put up my new stand today

    While the seat looks comfy, there doesn't appear to be a lot of foot room. ;)

    Larger peep sight option

    I've tried using a peep sight and they're just not for me. I use a kisser button, at the corner of my mouth and align the string blur with the left side edge of the pin guard, for my lefts/rights. So, I'm actually looking on the right side of the string. As long as the string blur is touching...

    Call your Shot for 2025.

    I waited on a "nice" buck, something with antlers out past his ears. Saw a couple, but nothing that was "nice" and so I was too picky. :rolleyes: Now, I get to look into an empty freezer all year long. :mad: This year, no mature animal will get a free pass! I intend to kill everything that gets...

    Wrap Or Not To Wrap?

    I had to wrap my Hawk Helium platform, because it was slicker than snot and was useless without it. :rolleyes: I never used it again, after purchasing a Trophyline Mission platform. There's plenty of texturing on the Mission, therefore no need for a paracord wrap. Plus, back a few years ago...

    Mad Rock Issue on New Rope

    @crucible7 I was using a Madrock, last year, with 9mm Canyon Elite C-IV and notice it started slipping while leaning on the platform. o_O It would only slip about 3 or 4 inches, which is enough to activate the "pucker factor". Plus, I don't want it slipping when I'm leaning out to take a shot...

    Stumpin channel

    I know what you mean and I can't say it "kicks up", but I've never lost an arrow, while using these small game tips. :)

    Stumpin channel

    Naa... I'd rather be more selective of my targets. ;) I agree with the unknown yardage estimation for good real time practice. :cool: These Forge Converta Blunts are as tough as they come. A great way to match the small game blunt to the field point that the bow has been tuned with for target...

    Stumpin channel

    I'll use a small game blunt on leaves or other such items. :) However, the actual stumps are hard on arrows and all of their components. o_O
