Re: Scope recommendations for 335
Wow, 1200 yards! Here in the East it’s hard to find even a 200-yard stretch to safely shoot a rifle.

Re: Latches
“FUBARed beyond repair.“
Hee hee! There’s a technical term I haven’t heard in several decades!
I think it must have died out with the WWII veterans...

Re: Issue Logging in
For what it’s worth, I use Safari on iPhone SE and Chrome on Chromebook, and have no issues with either platform.

Re: Chronographing Excaliburs
You gonna hunt opening day here in North Carolina, Keith? Between the heat and humidity and chiggers and skeeters, I don’t even think about hunting here in the South anymore, until mid-October.

Re: Anyone get a moose tag
Pardon the ignorance of a Southerner, but why do they have moose CALF draws?

Re: New optics. New learning lesson.
Yeah, I recently discovered the old rail is also too narrow to clamp 30mm scope rings on as well. I had to use some hillbilly engineering and add some brass shims. It seems to be holding...

Re: Best target
Burlap sack with cloth scraps from a local textile mill is the best I’ve found for field points. Way better than any foam. For broad heads - which I only shoot infrequently to double-check POI - just go to Tractor Supply and ask them for those big blocks of styrofoam they get in with their trailers....

Old gold mines from the 1700’s.

What’s the maximum draw weight you would consider?
Here’s a question to ponder: Fifteen years ago the average draw weight was 150-165 lbs. Only a few folks used a rope cocked. Now, to stay in the speed-race with the wheelie bows, the bow weight’s increased over 100 lbs. and everyone uses a rope cocker or crank. As Excalibur increases the poundage mo...

Re: Excalibur Micro Bulldog 355
Dang it, Carnivorous why’d you have to bring this to our attention?
No lie, I’ve been thinking about your bow ever since you let me shoot it at Boofest!

Re: DIY Tick Spray
X2 on diluting the stuff from Tractor Supply. They call it “Livestock and Premise Spray”. It’s 10% Permethrin. Dilute it ten-to-one. A $12 quart bottle has lasted me several years. I just heard on the radio that Lymes Disease is found in all 50 states, and is now the fastest-growing vector-borne Dis...

That is a great deal. Kind of a sketchy website though, maybe?

Re: What broadhead are you using
Never heard of the Qad Exodus, but they look like a good, strong broad head design. Nice thing about the Slick Tricks is they’re 4-blade cutters. In recent years I converted from mechanical to fixed. Last year I tried an over-sized two-blade, single-bevel cut-on-contact head. It’s made by Centaur Ar...
