I get pretty bored to shoot at targets all day, I live in the middle of Haleiwa village, being a one road town I'm pretty lucky to have a bit of undeveloped woods behind my house, and my neiborough on one side is the court house that has quite a big undeveloped open property too, so every time I go out back to shoot, I nock a blunt and try to stalk a wild roster or a dove, ask anybody that has being here, the spotted dove is truly wary, you can drive up to them pretty close but if you're on foot and they see you anywhere within 50 yards they are gone, same with the wild roosters.
It is really fun, I manage to attempt a couple of stalks every day, and probably a shot every 2 weeks :rolleyes: :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
some thimes I practice rally long shots too, and that's good fun as well.
I hit some roosters, but not being able to use broadheads ( don't want to have chickens run around town with an arrow sticking out of them :bigsmyl: )I never was able to kill one yet with a blunt, but I killed several doves.

Thanks

John, that's the great Tarantula :bigsmyl: , make a search and there's a couple of good threads about it
We used to have a wild rooster by our house when we were kids. We tried for quit a while w/ BB guns to get him and never did. THEY ARE SHARP!!
Yes they are :bigsmyl:
Is that a wingnut for a point in the bottom pic?I like that. Leon
Manny where is the snow in that pic(LOL).Merry Xmas-Ray.
Yeah Ray we are still waiting for the snow here, ....soon :bigsmyl: , merry Xmas to you too
That is a wingnut Leon, screwed on an alluminum adapter
Sweet
I usauly stalk some kind of birds.
Are they the same kind of good-eating as the doves we've got back here?
Northshore, you should post some pics of your one road town too, sounds awesome....walking out your door in a one road town and shooting game with a longbow!
yes, they taste really good.
O.K. I'll take pictures of the main road :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
Nice shooting and way cool bows. Do you foot your own arrows? I love looking at your bows.
Merry Christmas and I hope you get the Christmas rooster for dinner.
Nice shooting Manny. I saw a couple of the wild roosters when I was on vacation there in 82. I thought they were tame until someone told me otherwise.
Dennis
You guys do need some snow.
Bruddah Manny , don't forget to get pics of the burger joint, if it's still there..
and those Tarantulas are hard on chipmunks

Good shootin Manny, I know those little rascals gotta be alot tougher to hit than a big ol hog ;)
Goood shooten man!!
Yeah much more fun than shooting groups at targets :bigsmyl:
Billy, glad you're enjoying the TARANTULAS, makes me feel great everytime someone mentions they use them.
guzzi, that's a legacy and Hill bow in that picture
I use tarantulas. I have killed several dove with one out of my longbow. Either they do massive carnage if they are an off center hit, or if you hit a dove dead on it is just instant death, no carnage. Its really interesting to walk up on a stone dead bird without a drop of blood anywhere.
Great head
Where can I get the TARANTULAS??
Some nice shootin there! Great lookin bows too.
that's right Cameron, I've experianced that a lot with mongoose, stone dead on contact.
Weekend Warrior, I'm right now talking to 3Rivers to see if they are going to produce then, but for now you have to make them yourself, hit the search there's a buildalong.
....just came back from a shooting session, on my way there, I put a stalk at a dove, when she got behind a big palm tree I closed the distance to 20 yards and got ready for when she riappered out the other side,once she did I let the arrow fly, the shot was a bit low, but even if it had being good, the dove was in flight by the time the arrow got there :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
Mmmm...try marinating the dove breasts in italian dressing and throwing em on a grill. Sliced up between two slices of bread makes for a fine sandwich...
Manny one thing I did was to leave the 'flap' on the head. Instead of removing it, it grabs boatloads of grass when stumping.
got a close in picture ??
Do now..LOL. da kine original and with the 'flaps' left on.
