Title: Seven Weeks to go...
Post by: Chain2 on July 17, 2012, 12:32:00 PM
Time is passing, seven weeks until I leave for WY.  I have been shooting every day. How often does everyone shoot their BH's ? Do you get them dialed in and then shoot field points ? Do you just shoot one BH, to see how it flies and if it flies good, Do you load up and hunt ? I shot a BH Sunday into a sand pit about 20 X, it became very dull very fast. Thank you

I just make sure my broadheads hit with my field points and then mostly shoot field tips or blunts. Last year, I shot mostly broadheads throughout hunting season and totally destroyed every target I have. I'm not doing that this year.

I shoot a broadhead off and on all year long.  I don't have to because my set up is tried and true and I know how they fly, but just because I can I shoot them for fun I guess.

I dial in the broadhead to shoot with the field tip. Then I rarely shoot the BH except at my quarry.

The same for me.

What you hunting? Antelope, elk, or the majestic mule deer? Maybe bear, moose, goat, or sheep?

I am hunting elk. What I used to do with my wheel bows was, I would shoot a BH on a specific arrow and if it flew correct, I would keep them together and keep shooting my field points. I always had 4-6 arrows around w/BH's on ready to go. I am hunting wapiti. I am excited but time is passing quickly. I think I am good with my Great Northern Bushbow #55 and my GT 55/75's with 50 gr brass insert and 250 VPA three blade head. I feel confident to 25yds in my yard, who knows what happens when the pulse starts to race in thew field and he comes in shaking his head. Trying practice twice a day for four days a week and once every day for at least 100 arrows. Mostly one at a time for 50-60 the rest trying to maintain decent form in all shooting positions. I love that Bushbow. Thanks Guys
