Good thing it wasn't a big boar. One shot one kill. Use a larger caliber than a .22 caliber. I had 3, 150 gr. 30-30 rounds embed in the armor plating on a big calico boar one day, switched to a 30-06 165 gr that day. gun)

That"s Fantastic! One day you're baby boy will do the same. PM

You must be having a ball! Good work and enjoy some of those Boareattos.:D PM

Best shoot the small 50lbs head shot only. I've kill pigs with a .22 before, in a pen, not wild hogs. Good luck PM

I total agree with what you are saying. All the factors are put together that ends in how prepared one is for his or hers effective range. I have found that bare shaft tuning is a remarkable procedure that incorporates the 3 procedures you stated. A well tuned bow will transfer the energy in...

I put in quite a lot of time practicing. I love the tune-up of small game hunting prior to deer season here in California. Ground squirrels make perfect targets as you taste blood and they are small( aim small miss small). If necessary , I could put a finisher in a blacktail in excess of 100...

83 yards ground squirrel, pure luck! PM

Guys , guys, please. Broken arrow was just having fun sling arrows at distant targets and that is fun. The flight of an arrow 200 yards out is a great lesson in trajectory. I find the flight of the arrow really a super cool thing because we can see it although as an instructor I teach not to...

Have you ever been to Redding, CA. for the Western Trail Classic Tournament? Great shoot, lots of good archers, plus you get to shoot Big Foot at 103 yards. Try to make it some time quite the "gathering". PM

I am glad to here that, to many people try to make a bow into a rifle. Are you using a slider sight, one that pivots the pin scope area so that you can raise the front of your bow? HHA made one years ago. It was a fad type thing that we western archers went through years ago. Unfortunately...

Use a gun at those ranges. Your chance for a clean kill will go up by 1000%. PM

I have been using ICS Hunters 400 tipped with 100 Slick Trick's with 2" 2 degree offset Blazers @ 295 out of a Mathews Z-Mag set at 57 LBs. No noise arrow or bow. Hope this helps. PM

I am planning to work up some loads for my Marlin 336 30-30 using the Barnes 150 gr. TSX flat nose. I am curious if seating the bullet closer to the lands will bother the loading of the round out of the magazine into the chamber. Any thoughts? Thanks, PM

Hey Guys, I am in the middle of giving my 30-06 Ackley a much needed cleaning after working up a great 168gr. TSX BT load. I am getting clumps of 1/4 " long x 1/64 " black strings appearing on my patches. Does anyone knows what this material might be? Thanks, PM

Please don't hold it against me.:D I love to shoot. Been shooting every type of projectile hurling tool for 52 years. Pet center-fire wildcat ,Model 700 30-06 AI, pet bow Mathews Z-Mag, pet standard center fire Matheus 30-06 custom made in Berkeley, CA. for a hunting partner of mine (now in the...
