You’re def thinking along the right lines I believe. I’ve never shot one of Big Jim’s bows. Not sure why. I’ve actually visited his stand at ETAR. He may have the biggest presentations.
I’m glad I was able to offer something that might help you. Hope you do well bud and remember the trad shoot thing. Not sure where you’re out of but trad bow gatherings are a great place to get noticed. The biggest one around here is ETAR but there’s a bunch all over the country. If you don’t...
Is that 50% of the harvest in the first ten days which is prob similar most places or is it 50 of total initial population?
Most guys hunt the early season, some tag out and the remaining birds get pressured and smarter so the numbers quickly wind down. I’d be surprised if the let you kill 1/2...
I believe either you have not the trad bows guys want or are about say 45lbs. When I was sick 7 years ago, I had to relearn walking, taking, etc. As a young man I shot 75lb recurves, 90lb compounds. They don’t make em for years now but I was still shooting at least 70.
Back to being sick. I...
Brother here’s some considerations, I’ve got lots of custom bows, some recurve, mostly longbow, some hybrids. When I buy a bow it’s typically from I maker I trust, and like the bow, way it shoots, customer service, etc.
If I advise someone they might consider my recommendations. That’s the way I...
I skinned for a couple of bear camps, did full time taxidermy and this put allowed me to see how often people were correct, seldom it seemed, and how to judge. Imo they’re is no def way on medium/smaller bears unless small enough to not consider them. You’d be best having something known like a...
We don’t know what we don’t know. Remember that. I’ll help you understand. If you shoot a looser choke and stay within easy effective range for that gun you might be 100 percent.
Today’s loads tend to be tight shooting. Today’s chokes tend to be tight shooting. I think you prob never patterned...
So many considerations. I personally am gonna add some thoughts. A .410 is awesome but it’s not legal in every state plus that gun or any gun using tss is gonna be super expensive to shoot.
A pump or single shot is the way to go. I’d say one gun, cheap to shoot make it a 12 with lead. Idk...
That’s the problem. Someone always throws that in. Weak reasoning and I’m not trying to argue either. Exactly the reason we need to try to buy American best we can and yea even if it’s a little more. Some things we can’t. That’s a given. Others are just an excuse.
And no my house isn’t full of...
I’m not positive about the stocks but I believe most savage is Chinese. If it was me I’d at least see not ask a random guy on the internet if you know what I mean. This country used to be America first. Now guys make all sorts of excuses why they can’t/wont be. Glad I’m old enough I won’t see it...
I can say something that should help anyone exclude themselves anything savage. They’re Chinese. It’s an enemy of the US and we shouldn’t give them money
