Well... as you know from my previous thread... i am just getting underway (again) with archery.
Living in Washington, I know our rules changed as to what kind of broadheads we can use, and I will be hunting here and in Idaho. SO, for those of you who have been chucking arrows through the air...
Thank you... does the little twist account for it, should I wait until that has worked itself out? or just adjust to my shot, and know that I twist a little? I let go of the bow after I draw, and regrip to make sure I have a light grip, so I know I am not choking it... lol
OMG... you guys...
Step ONE. Dont Over Think.
Step TWO. Take A Breath.
Step Three... Then start process....
I reset everything back to start, and began again... I chased the shit out of those arrows and obviously over thought so much I never would have hit the target again... but... stepping...
Ok Thank you EVERYONE for you advice and input. I ended up throwing a dart and picked two regions. I have gathered all your information for a decision for next year though. The two regions I picked were based off likelyhood of getting something if i get drawn, more than the likelyhood of getting...
I think because he travels so far, its harder for us to scout... I can understand what he is saying, i can also understand what you are saying... I also sit next to a salt shaker and take EVERYTHING with a shake of that salt... LOL
The Archery permit doesn't bother me, im getting it for Elk anyway, what is an LE archery tag? I must be tired.
@twsnow18 - hey, that is a great idea to do waterholes like that, thanks...
Yeah its just hard because the hunts are the same time...(elk rut, and hunting antelope)... and i want to...
archery would be tough for a disabled veteran, but I am down for tough, and I am working on getting my bow fixed so... lets do it...Anyone want to hunt together if I get drawn? I might change my elk tag so I can learn the units anyway... Unit 36? What are the other archery only units I should...
@Vanishe187 - thanks, i might just take it to seattle, I took it to Yakima, maybe that guy isn't as good as everyone said... I just wanted to support someone close to me (he is 35 miles away). Seattle is 2 hours.
Flyfish, i wonder if thats the issue. I have shot before, and I am a pretty decent shot, but I have never shot this bow. My whole assembly (to answer other questions) is maxed out, and the top pin is maxed out... so it might just be the peep placement... I will run some tests.
Thanks @seeth07 I...
Ok- it is the Bear archery Cruzer G2, set up left handed. It uses Trophy Ridge 4 Pin Sight, all individually adjustable. I was setting the top pin.
My anchor point puts my left knuckle at the corner of my mouth and my thumb rests along jawline, pretty consistent.
my left-right is pretty dead...

They want to limit the numbers... but I think they are taking all info, they have always listened, they are 100000 times better than Washingtons joke of a department.
If you are interested at all @brymoore I did respond to that, not that i think they will take an out of state persons opinions, but they asked so...
The pool of Non Resident DAV tags are coming from the available Non Resident pool, why would you want to further limit the service men and women...
I heard about that, they also asked me if I would be interested in a DAV fishing license if it was available and what the pros/cons would be for a nonres. I explained that if I could hunt on both sides, Spring Bear, and with my Elk hunt, I would likely be there more often, which means putting...
Hey guys!
I am finally posting my, please be my friend post LOL. I will be hunting the state of Idaho now, for the rest of my life, thanks to my military disability prices. I have been working on myself to be better, which means, I am starting to work on relationship building. I am not just...
Yeah thanks! I like the palouse, i have a few places I REALLY liked, much of it is spread out and for me, sadly i need to have access to cellphone because of my disability, and my cellphone wouldn't connect in a lot of the areas I tried hunting. (elk river, Dwarmish or whatever it is....) So I...
Yeah, and that means I need to get my feet on the ground a few times in those areas and discover which ones I like... (nods). I assumed the numbers were mostly the same, I dont mind a drive, if I come into Idaho from Central Washington, I am going to just hunt wherever I want to hunt, but I need...
I think i figured it out, but someone help:
I set up a target to try and walk my sights... maybe i should have taken it to someone, but this is what happened,
Arrow one - 7-8 feet in ground in front of target (20 yard shot)
I checked and the target was on a hill, uphill. I aimed higher. Arrow...
I am applying and leaning towards 2 units -
Unit 38-1 and Unit 68, I will put my application in later today if I make a solid decision.
I chose those units because they appear to produce, and they "read" good. It will take me a few years of getting my boots on the ground in Idaho to get a good...
