I got caught up in the gadgets last year. Got a single pin sight, single blade broadheads, etc. I struggled with it, but felt I had enough to hit the field. After missing five deer - super annoying - I went home and put my five pin back on, got my old arrows out, put on three blade fixed...
Great reality.
Honestly though, I have seen divergent views on what the oil is for and how it is used. (It is "honing" oil after all). What's your take on it?
Yes. I only lost a small but of breast. It's worth it to me. Mrs. Fan doesn't like when I miss a shot gun pellet,.so this works.for me. Also makes longer shots doable.
Once I was riding bikes with my youngest past a lake. I found a small crappie lead head, some duck feathers, and light fishing line. I made a minnow fly out of it, tied it to a stick, and caught a bunch of blue gill. Fun memory. I still have that minnow.
Yesterday I got my turkey. Saved the biots.
So, I thought about the fact that when I use a shotgun, I have to wait for the shot to get very clear first. But, with my rifle this bird was only clear enough to not have a bird behind it. Makes shooting much easier.
I love that I can use a rifle. I hate picking shot out of the breast. It is a 17HMR. I use 17 grain rounds. My shot was only about 60 yards. It was very easy.
I had a knock on the window about midnight last month. Texted my neighbor asking if he saw anything. His first response was "You have one chambered?"
I love Wyoming
