    Anyone here hunt/shoot traditional?

    By traditional, I mean non-wheel bow. I've got a couple of the compounds, but I just can't get that same feeling of enjoyment that I do with my recurve. I just bought (will be here in 5 weeks) a Quinn's Stallion with metal riser and laminated limbs. The bow riser window is past center shot so...

    Where to buy?

    Since I shoot traditional, most of the time, pro-shops don'r really help me out, I buy through Lancaster, 3 Rivers, and Bowhunters Superstore, I'm 55 miles from the closest range/proshop so I shoot 20 yards in the back yard and do all of my own work/setups, arrows cutting/fletching . I also...

    What is the Range of the 300WinMag?

    They consistently win 1000 yard matches. That caliber was the king of long range for many a year. I shoot a Stevens 200 with reworked stock, trigger, bedded and 20 MOA mounts and can hit an 8" gong at 800 yards all day long off the bench with factory Black Hills 190 grain. I'd go out to the...

    Why a high shoulder shot?

    I have killed two elk. the first was with a .53 patched round ball from about 75 yards with a high shoulder shot, the elk went down like he was poll axed,,,1 step and folded. The second was from an 8mm rem mag at about 500 yards quartering away down hill. Took the same high shot with the same...

    Idaho muzzleloader definition

    Using the "DUCK" anology: If it looks like a rifle: If it shoots like a rifle (bolt, in-line breech): If it has bullets (jacketed) like a rifle: If it has sights (scopes) like a rifle: If it has powder like a rifle (smokeless): If it has the range of a rifle (or nearly): Than by golly...

    Stevens 200 accuracy problems

    I'd still look closer at the stock, my group size decreased drastically after I stiffened up the forearm and bedded the action in the tupperware stock. There is a ton of flex there that you propably aren't seeing on the bench. also added weight to the butt and put on a Karsten cheekpiece to...

    Muzzy mx3

    The Muzzy 4 flies out of my Excaliber Vixen crossbow like a field tip and I can group 6 shots in a 2" circle at 20 yards. They will take down anything I hit them with, using my crossbow. I can't get them to fly very well from the compound or recurve, so I don't use them. They seem to plane...

    Idaho muzzleloader definition

    I've hunted with muzzleloaders for over 30 years. I started with a Sante Fe Hawken with a 34" barrel, buckhorn sights, patched round ball and FFg blackpowder. That gun has killed mulies, whitetails, bear, elk and a couple of turkeys, not including the numerous vermin that got caught in my...
