    Playing with FOC

    I was messing around yesterday with different FOCs....im set on 18% but wanted to see what would happen. This is 300 grains at 30 yards. The arrow blew clear thru the deer and pushed the broadhead target back about 2 feet. The shaft was a 30" 250 spine black eagle carnivore. Bow is an...

    Switched to a compound

    Well, i finally switched over from traditional gear to a compound. Ive been shooting an Obsession Def Con M7Z for about 3 weeks now and dang!!!! what a bow. (I already ordered a new FXL) It makes shots out to 50 yards seem like childs play. I can split shafts with it inside 25 yards at...

    Manitoba bear hunt

    I had so much fun during this hunt but unfortunately didnt bring home a bear. I saw A LOT of then but no keepers except one sow who was easily 600lbs and 7' long. She, however, had 3 cubs with her so had to pass. The bear in the picture standing up was mean as hell!!! He couldnt see me but...

    #3

    I was literally in my saddle for 5 minutes when this 3 point ive been trying to cull for 4 years showed up. I removed his dad and one of his brothers last year. They all have the same crappy 2-3point horns. He came right to my trail in and started blowing like crazy. He was quartering...

    Working up some heavies

    Leopardwood shafts (tapered) 615 grains. Fit with a 200 grain trade point. These are made from a cross cut saw and were tempered, near surgical sharp. Total weight with rawhide bindings and fletchings are 839 grains with a 25% FOC. They shoot AMAZING out of my Osage selfbow.

    So, this hunt started in the saddle but he either scented me or saw something he didnt like. i fast roped down and stslked him for about 100 yards before getting my shot (ASAT camp for the win). I was a littlw disappointed that the hard maple shaft didnt perform better. Shot was 18 yards...

    Finally!!

    I finally got it done yesterday, after 6 hours in the rain. This has been the hardest year hunting in memory for me. My tree umbrella helped a lot but i was soaked to the bone. My shot hit her in the neck, im guessing she saw me as i released the arrow (which was lost). She tried to spin...
