hey Rhaney, Chopper's place is on top of a mountian range with scenic rolling hills and valleys, its great for still hunting and spot and stalk, bring some good glasses and scope, bring a camera. just read my weekend hunt story from choppers we just did this past december, it will get you pumped up, i guarantee it! thats why i am going back so soon in may , i think choppers property is a great place to hunt! period, good luck on your hunt

Was practicing for the hunt and got a little close to the door jam. I can shoot 20 yards in my back yard but if i open tha back door and shoot from the den i can get about 27 yards. I have to shoot through the den just past the frezzer and the just past the door jam. My wife always says am crazy doing this. I always tell her "no problem" there is a big enough shooting lane.

Well i got a little close tonight. Had a bad release.

LOL!!!

WT, I've done similar things in my backyard...including a nice hole in the recycle bin and bouncing an arrow off of the backporch awning.

The back fence was just replaced, but I wish I'd taken a picture of the boards behind my backstop. I should probably be embarrassed... but for the hundred or so holes in the boards, I've probably launched a thousand into the target.

No, honest...



Oh, by the way... see how that fletching stuck into the door jamb? They stick into flesh pretty good too. First HAND experience.

[oneshothunter]

in not counting the days but i hope chopper keep a nice hog tide up for me to shoot lol

 

[wtpops]

ARE WE READY!!!!! Im not, just got my woodys in that i ordered for my Shrew and i ordered the #$%^ wrong spine, they will work with my Widow but not the Shrew so i placed another order for the right ones and they should be here around the 21st. That will leave me a week to tune them in and fletch them up. Enough time but I hate doing things at the last min. O well that will learn me.

 

[tradman]

I just got a dozen new GameGetter shafts that I need to "twist up" and tune myself. Gonna go with high-visibility flourescent yellow wraps and flourescent pink fletching. You'll be able to spot my quiver clear across the ranch!!!

 

[buck_t1]

Pops what spine ya shooting out of the shrew?

 

[wtpops]

I going to shoot Sitka Spruse Tapered shafts spined at 65#-69# 30" from BOP. Its an 11/32 shaft tapered starting 8" from the nock end down to 5/16 at the nock. I will have 175 grains on the tip, it should weigh in somewhere around 575 to 590 total.

The shafts are comming from Foxfire Archery. He keeps his shafts spined within +/- 2.5# and +/- 5 grains in weight.

 

[buck_t1]

Ok Pops, I am shooting a 31" taperd cedar shaft spined at 75-80 with a 125 gn magnus with a yellow beird 5" sheild cut feathers stained green with a yellow crown & crest. I make all my own arrows and taper them with a 10" taper 11/32 to 5/16th. They weigh in about 600 gn. I shoot them out of a custom made 67# @28 66 amo bow with a ff string and my draw is 30 ". The arrows are flying at 190 fps I use this set up for elk and hogs. what ever it hits it goes down. Spruce is a good shaft but for hunting I shoot cedar. We should have fun talkin trad on the hunt pops these compound guys wont understand a word were saying. lol
