Some pictures fromlast winter from the south french alps, my english is also from the same place...
I was lucky again to have a opportunity to hunt "mouflon" .In this mountains you can hunt mouflon or chamois and only look at the bouquetin (a kind of ibex) who are fully protected)
I was fortunate enaugh to get a other one but i made a bad shot in the elbow ... the sound was horrible "paaaaa" but the mouflon didn't went far ... i saw him going down quicly !
i used a 630 grs big FOC arrow ( 18%) with a SB broadhead "grizzly" , the bow is 55 pounds but i was in very inconfortable place and i have to shoot very quickly from up to down
look a the exit Hole :

the broahead, hard to sharpen but when hou get the right angle !!! it's working
(http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/lossogwan/osc.jpg)
the arrow didn't get completly outside, the end part with the feathers was completly inside

I guess you got it. How about pics of the animal?
voila !
it's a 3 years old wild mouflon

thank you Doc Ashby for all your work on the arrow penetration !
For the next season i have already prepared 20 % + foc arrows !
Ciao / K&K :archer:
MMMMMMMM........ I am envious!! :thumbsup:
Congratulations kibok&ko.
Sometimes to take the shot, you have to make the shot, and shooting from an uncomfortable position
is all you get. Success sometimes comes from the ability to make the best of whatever shot presents itself.
Looks like a Pittsley Predator hiding under the camo wrap.
it's effectively a predator bow "hunter" model, a very good tool for difficult place
Good pics and story kibok&ko-beautiful trophy. Thanks!!
Well done!
Excellant! Congrats! :thumbsup:
great job! :thumbsup: how far did it go?
not far with a big "locomotion" problem, something like 100 m in a 30 % slope, fortunatly a i saw all the way because it's was snowing at this time
Congrats Kibo! :thumbsup:
The Doc is already out bush in the Northern Territory but I'll be sure to point out this thread when he returns.
When you get to making up those new arrows, why not try getting up around 25 - 30 foc. He's finding that range works well for most people. I have my favorites set at 28foc - takes some practice to ensure you keep your shots in the 'happy range' (they sure aren't flight arrows :) ) but even at my light poundages they pack a good deal of punch.
Cheers Cher :)
Kibo, nicely done! You took what poor opportunity came to you and made it work. I'm sure it wasn't pretty but you got the job done.
As for our English, much better than my French....thanks for sharing your success with us.
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Awesome, you should get some pics of the country you hunt! I imagine it is pretty there.
Great Ram,

Nice - I like the Mufflon! At least some Europeans are allowed to have a little fun ...
You titled your post "Thanks you Doc Ashby" and not only because of that I can't do otherwise then ask, why you used LW feathers with a RW Grizzly?!
;)
Falk
double post - mods please delete!
Hello Falk, because i made an order mistake on this feather and the shop was on the other side of a big amount of water ...
By mistake i glued them like right wing ...
A friend of mine said to me the same thing and i change everything already ...
Imagine the result with a good RW feather !!!! ...
i keep those LW now for the LW SB No mercy for Roe Deer in july ... Wait and see !
a picture of a typical place during a scouting WE with familly and friends this spring ...
Normaly you can't go with a car, it's forbiden.
But the sheperd is a friend and i'm helping him time to time to bring heavy things in this place
During the winter it's can be a lot of snow ...

Thanks

Great pictures!!!!
nice shot what other things can you hunt there?
That's some fine looking protein there too I might add. Great to hear experiences from our European brothers. Thanks.
Great job!
Looks like a wonderful place to hunt.

EFOC w/ carbons kinda required screw in adapters for BH's...till I found on Kustom King these nifty brass inserts like I now use...but these take it one step farther...they are a unitized brass insert with a glue on 5 degree bevel.
75 gr fits the 5/16" ferrule and the 100 and 125 fit the 11/32" ferrule, according to an email reply to that question to Kustom King.
Those danged li'l aluminum bh adapters always freaked me out...they seem to vary in size and weight a LOT... and they offer a weak link on a strong, bone cutting broadhead... I wonder if the solid brass insert w/ bh adapter as a unit will help?

Hope this works... the li'l BH adapter and brass insert combo... :)
Doc Nock,
Looks like a strong system. I have one question though, would you need to use glue-on target points (of same or similar weight) for practice? I'm not real big on day-to-day practice with broadheads but want to use an arrow with as close to the same weight as my hunting arrows. I do practice with the broadhead arrows, but not all the time, every day.
What do ya think?
OkKeith
Keith,
Ya can't catch fish sleepin! :knothead: :D
(ya'd have to check his profile to know)
I hear ya. I'm currently using 100 gr. brass threaded inserts and screw in heads...
After finding those on KK, I kinda got to thinkin... I might have the threaded 100 gr. brass insert for practice to use the screw in field points...and then have those set ups for my hunting arrows w/ broadheads...???
Just toyin and love to get opinions...but don't want to hijack the thread... just thought it sorta added to
...but to your pointed question, you could use glue on practice points... My situation requires 160 practice and so far, I can't find em anywhere...so I use 145 and 3 5gr. brass washers... so I'd have to keep that up, huh cause I've not found glue on 160's either!?
Very nice!!! :notworthy:
Doc Nock,
That was just a nap due to being worn out from catching them all!
Your idea sounds good. I believe that Dr. Ashby said that the broadhead to arrow connection was a weak spot in the arrow. I don't see why you couldn't figure a way to use glue-ons with some added weight some how for parity. I commonly use the screw in addaptors for broadheads. I really like the Ace heads. I get the 125 grn. heads and use a sturdy 50 grn. addaptor, for a total weight of 175. I have a long draw and use full length arrows with 5 inch or sometimes 5&1/2 inch shield cuts. These fly really well for me in several bow setups. Good luck with the experiment and try and have fun now..OK?
OkKeith
Very nice! Love those Grizzly's
up , smaller than a big tembo but i think "le doc" it's also a part of it !
Good stuff...thanks for sharing!
Nice animal.
thank's you Doc you're a big part of it !
And here's a public "Thank You" to you David, for the copies of the photos you emailed me. They are great.
