Handled like a pro. Glad you put him out of his misery

@rookhawk - that makes sense to me. My "what would i do with a crossbow?" line of thinking is I would still shoot deer at 20-30 yards max but have less chance of them ducking the arrow (er... bolt I guess) However, I would also use it regularly for pig hunting at my buddy's place (about 15...

I've also had a deer duck an arrow with my compound bow (pse) at 30 yds. I made the rookie mistake of forgetting not to shoot when their head was down. Was rusty. It was embarrassing but also AMAZING. It was like neo dodging bullets. I'm of the understanding that xbow velocity (400+ fps)...

here this thread comes back from the dead MWA-HA-HA Similar to @mdwest - I'm ready to move from a compound bow to the crossbow world. Too many shoulder dislos and they're catching up with me. I'm very interested in the new excalibur hybrid X. No press required to change cables and...

I actually laughed out loud at this but. Then my wife asked me what's so funny and I didn't DARE tell her why I was laughing.

Love this thread. I'm not much of a watch guy, but I'm a big fan of mechanical achievement. This is a 1964 BMW r50/2 motorcycle. I bought it as a pile of parts in 2008 while I was still at General Electric as a lowly design engineer. I spent 2 years sorting, selling, trading, and building...

I have it. Love it for normal hunts involving a lot of walking or climbing. I prefer it to leather and I like using it backpack style. However, it sucks in thorns. The rubber is just soft enough to get punctured and caught up on them. After the first day in S Africa, I took it off.

I'd be up for it. Have never hunted these birds. And they look tasty. Also... That's an impressive dog that will retrieve AND wear goggles.

Fascinating. Thx for the info I dug up info on this as well. They don't denature like typical proteins. Similar to virus "hard casings" that allow them to survive chemical attack, these babies need temperature enough to anneal soft metals to break down. Pretty impressive.

my PH was delighted when he saw i was hunting with a suppressor and said he wished more people used them. It seems there's an ilk here that is hot and bothered that someone on the internet doesn't do it the way they think it should be done. This reminds me of the "when i was in school we...

Giraud does not suck.. Excellent product

Very interested in this topic. Virus or bacteria, denatured is denatured. I have a background in genetics and biology and I'm interested to see thoughts on this matter.

Looks delicious Methinks we need more cooking recipes and food pics of game on this site.

how you get the fun of hanging them all up! Thx for sharing the pics

had to be meters or yards. Unless it was a 6.5 creedmore. Then it would have been miles. :cool:
