1955 long bow 66″ 57# @28″ maker unknown (it was my grandpas bow)
145 grain woodsman broadhead
Ceder arrow I made myself

I just like to get it done the hard way

I use arows I make my self. Port Oford Cedar Shafts 30 a doz. , nocks 2 doz, feathers 15 for a doz arrows and glue on tips 3 doz. Total about 50.00 a doz plus a hole lot of fun making them.

cool than I’m in the club too. I want too take a deer this year with my grandpas long bow than I can go back to shooting a bow with wheels or should I say trainning wheels

Does a 55# long bow make me a wuss, if so I’m a big wuss. I just like to do things the hard way.

I too have train my dog with the tone. He hears the tone and look back at me for what to do next. With a quick hand juster he on his way. Work real nice for the late season birds. I was out hunting this fall with a friend. He ask why did I not have to use my voice with my dog all day. I just smiled and said he is just that good. Knowing that I was talking with my dog all day with the remote.

I almost lost my pointer in a corn field this year. He was on point for about 8 mm before I bumped the bird looking for him. If I go in to the catails I kept him very close to me.

Thanks for that tip . Did you jags fit in to the rod.

very cool

nice deer

I was south of waseca and there was not much shooting too. Ipassed up a 2 1/2 year old 8 pointer on saturday and sunday. Very slow weekend.

I order some arrows from the footed shaft and they had them here the next day . Great service and good people. I will be doing busniss with them again very soon. Thanks

I will be heading down to the Waseca area to my uncles farm. I will be looking for wall hanger. My son was going with me for the frist time this weekend but he got sick a few days ago and Mom and the Dr. send it was a no go this weekend . I will have to wait until next weekend to let him pick on a doe or two.

just call them and order some arrows. Nice people there a footed shaft. Thanks

Thanks and wat go on the buck.

WOW what a sad story. It just makes me sick reading it.

I hope to start to make my own arrows too. May be that will be a new winter hobby. I first just want to start shooting and to get a feel for what I need and like. Does any one know were I can get a bow stringer on the west side of the metro. I have been to more then a few big box stores and can not find one. Or does any one know how to make one.

My boss asked me if I was doing to get anything done this week here at work. I told him sure I will get something done I was about to show him my to do list for this week.

I thought I better not show him this list. I just told him I would get my list done before I left

I have shot Berretta semi’s for years. love them. I never had a issue with them jamming. Would not go with any thing other then a Berretta just my .02.

I used #4 steel last year and was not happy with them. To many cripples that the dog had to work to hard to find. This year I changed to #2 and also I got some heavy shot #4.

Most Gander’s do have some classes.

I have never done it too. Someday the dream will come true.

That got to be fun to hunt with the wife.

Your welcome. Just thought I would get someones blood going.

I too was out in the Marshall area. Just after sun up I saw about 20 birds fly out of a WMA in to a corn field. So we pulled in a waited until 9. We did flush a few hens at that spot. I had one rooster flush while I was giving my dog some water. We had a few more rooster flush but We did not get any. I was tring to let my son shoot his frist bird. Over all we did see a lot of birds but I can not wait for the corn to come down. I wish my son would hit one so dad can start shooting again.

I just loaded up the car with 2 gal. of water for my son, dog and me. good luck to you also.

I have not been able to sleep at all this week.

Three more days with out sleep

welcome nice doe
