I'm good with the address and the time.

Finally got my new arrows all built and put them through their paces yesterday at the BHU shoot in Cupertino. Didn't take a trophy, but I nailed all the hog targets! (excpet the 60-yarder

)

I'm planning on bringing a bunch of munchies and stuff unless there's anything specific we need. See you all soon!

 

[wyemjohnson]

I'm all set with the meals, and time/place. Hey Tradman I did the BHU shoot as well, I got that long downhill shot at the pig, it was closer to 50 than 60 yards! Looking forward to the hunt. I'm heading to the RMEF Elk Camp in Reno first.

Im ready, will be leaving on Wednesday afternoon and getting somewhere north of L.A. and staying for the nite. Will see you all Thursday.

 

[wtpops]

Im ready but still havent gotten my shafts for my Shrew yet and still have to tune them and fletch them. O well i have my Widow all tuned up and ready if i dont get the shafts in time.

 

[Orso]

wtpops - Where do you order your shafts from? What type of wood? Do you seal them your self or are they already stained and coated? What total arrow weight?

 

[wtpops]

Im trying out some Sitka Spruce from Foxfire Archery (arrows by kelly). They are all ready stained and coated. The shafts for my Widow are spined at 75#-79#, 30" to BOP. I put 205 grains up front for a total of 635 grains.

For the Shrew they are spined at 65#-69#, 30" to BOP. Im going to put 175 grains up front for a total of 580 to 590 grains.

They spine there arrows to + or - 2 1/2# of spine and + or - 5grains.

One thing i have noticed about the spruce is it is the easest to strighten shaft i have ever used.

 

[wtpops]

The Widow is a PSA V 62" 53#@30"

The Shrew is a Super Shrew Deluxe 60" 54#@29"

I draw 29 1/2"

Just got back from Reno Elk Camp and had a blast, they brought in Terri Clark for entertainment at the volunteer dinner last nite. Was a great show and great thing for them to do for all the volunteers.

Now on to pig hunting. I'm planning on making 16 elk burgers, assuming we each want 2 and will be hungry from all the miles walked. Chopper do you want one? I'll bring some extra.

Car is getting packed and gear ready!
