Who's shooting? Tuning? Tinkering?

Putting a new 20 inch AR .350 Legend to use this season...fired it for the first time over the weekend. Pretty decent round. It'll be interesting to see how it fairs to my 45-70.

My 10 point Wicked Ridge is in for a new set of arms....one developed a crack. I'll be re sighting it in soon.

LMAO I gotta stop wearing sleeveless shirts. Perverts

You could always try shutting up?

I could try I guess. I blame Ryan tho, he kept pushing me

I added 116 grains of arrow weight to a shaft last night via Stihl weed whacked string. It does not seem to effect the spine of the arrow at all.

It does however effect the trajectory, obviously, as shown here in this 25 yards group.

After having my bow restrung, I noticed at Dave’s too summer shoot that when I was shooting at 40 yards, it was way off. Think somewhere 3-6” to the right.

so today I went to the range this afternoon to shoot a few. Had to mess around with the pin sight a few time to get it dialed in. I’m happy with i

20 yds

40 yds

Shot few today. First target was at 25 yards, I took a shot at it and something hit me in left cheek, was trying to figure out what it was. I went got one of my arrow off the target, thought maybe once of the fletch came off or something. It wasn’t the arrow . So I draw back and tried to place my mouth on the kisser , the kisser was gone. Oh, so that’s what hit me . So shot rest of the targets without the kisser, just didn’t feel the same without it . Hit the bullseye here and there but moving around kinda. Will go back to archery shop and have em put a new one on.

I’m buying a compound bow for the first time. I’m in Columbus and don’t know where else to look besides cabelas that had a range. Their selection is limited too. Any suggestions?

On the south side you can find Fishermans Warehouse. They are the ones I had set up my bow for me.

I've never heard of them but I'm finding lots of recommendations for them. I'll check them out.

Did you loose track of the thread you created the first time when you posted this question or what? You had about a half a dozen respond to you with options.

Where to look for a compound

I'll be picking up my first compound bow for this season. All the advice I see is "shoot as many as you can", which makes sense, but the only retail stores I know of that have ranges is Cabelas. Any other places in central Ohio that I should look?

Well, so much for the 9-14 weeks they quoted me when I placed the order. Guess I'll need to come up with another option for hunting season since my current site is broke and only partially sighted in. The whole time Nate and I were shooting at Giles' house, I was holding off-target because the windage adjustment on my Spot Hogg is stripped and won't move any further. Half tempted to cancel my order and get my $ back, but I really want that sight!

Sorry to see that, but I have a single (.19) pin HHA Kingpin with new label configs. that is in perfect working order that I'll be happy to let you barrow that is currently on my backup SoloCam Reezen Mathews.

It's not a problem. That pin size is a bit of a challenge for me with my current affair of eyesight, but I still like the fact that it's not a cluttered sight.

 

[bowhunter1023]

I appreciate that Denny. I have a few spares around the house, just not my preferred choices for hunting. I'll probably take the one off the bow I bought off @OO2 and make it work. Maybe I'll shoot it instinctively

Good deal! Good luck man!

I'm pretty sure it's the .19 pin size, but it also might be the smallest size they sell, maybe .10 that I have on that sight. I currently use the 3 pin HHA KingPin on my Mathews NoCam with the larger pin size and I'm pretty happy with it.

What kind is bow string wax ya’ll uses? I saw one I like bass pro online. Good reviews on em. I normally get the bohning string wax and just ran out of it… so, looking at scorpion venom polymeric string wax. Tons of great review.

Scorpion Venom is good shit. I use their arrow lube and it's first-class, so I would assume their wax is too. I use the Bohning stuff, but would definitely buy the Scorpion brand if I needed more.

Thanks @bowhunter1023 picking it up after work.

A couple of weeks ago I switched from a wrist hook caliper release to a thumb release. What a difference in feel. Everything from the draw, anchor, release, and follow through feels so much more natural. It did take me some time to adapt my mechanics using this style, but I'm glad I made the switch. Hunter and I have been launching arrows from 50-80 yards nearly every night. I'm really liking the feel of this thing!
