    Choosing a crossbow?

    That's the way I felt about buying my Destroyer... Bare bones, it was $899. Putting everything together, I'm up to about $1500

    is 50## enough

    Have you tried any of the Carbon Express with Kevlar? The Mayhems just came out and are at 9.8 gpi. I'm an avid Grim Reaper fan, but I think I'm going to try the Magnus Stinger Buzzcuts this year.

    is 50## enough

    I can tell you right now, bow hunting is by far the most addicting... I started last year with a Diamond Stud 60# and I just upgraded to the Bowtech Destroyer 340 70#. I'm set up with Carbon Express Mayhem 350 at 28", 100gr Grim Reaper mechanical and Easton tracer nocks. All together, it weighs...

    Worth the wait Z7

    The shop owner at Macrotech (on RT 2) is a lefty. He has a lot of good bows up there and an indoor range.

    Choosing a crossbow?

    Did you decide what you were going to go with? I have not hunted with a crossbow personally, but my couple of my friends do. They just opened it up here in Maryland. I can talk to them if you haven't already purchased one. My personal opinion is a good compound bow. Archery is a fun skill to...

    BowTech Destroyer

    Went to the shop last week and played with the 350 and 340. Both of them are amazing. Very smooth and little vibration. This was a bare bow. Once I add all the toys I doubt I will even notice the hand shock. I decided on the the 340. I was shooting 308 fps with 400 gr Carbon Express Mayhems...

    Field Dressing

    There is a video on YouTube that goes through the process of dressing a bison. Very interesting to watch. By the time they were done, there was nothing but bones left.

    Field Dressing

    I can seen the benefit of doing this method. But, how do you get the loins that are located within the chest/abdominal? Those are one of the tastiest parts!

    Or you can just blame it on old age and tell them to respect their elders... :D

    MOA reticles, anyone use them?

    I have a quick question. All my scopes have fixed reticles. I can zoom in, but the reticles stay the same. I've been reading about the NP-R2 and it says the reticles change with the magnification. For some reason, I can't get me head around how it works. Is the simple answer: The reticle changes...

    broad head and field point issues

    There is a lot of good information here. Matching your arrows/broadhead to your draw weight and pull is one of the most important parts. Most of the major companies have programs that will tell you what arrow you need. I use Aramid-KV by Carbon Express. I have found that they are the most...

    Is there a --yr minimum before chance at draw?

    Utah has the points system too. But, half of the tags are given on just the lottery system. I have known people to draw on their first try. On the switch side, some of them were saving points for 15 years. Best thing is to read how a given state draws for tags. They will normally show the odds...

    Kirby built 338AM takes down 7 cows 515-1187 yards

    Dang, I might have to come out and visit you lol. I live just out of Washington DC and we are able to get unlimited whitetail does, but only two bucks. I mainly just donate all my meat to the homeless organizations. Of course, my freezer is full too.
