I finally had a chance to meet Rob at Compton's and he just seemed to have a "softer" side than portrayed here  

shoot.......maybe you can put a boxing glove on the end of those telephone pole shafts and knock em out then measure them to decide if they are "keepers" or not?

Whack and release bowhunting!

......and Im not saying a WORD about feeling like a weenie now-a-days.

My 80 lb Wasp and 76lb Fred Anderson are long gone.

Bet that combo of yours would be fun to take in a check station here in Indiana with a deer you took.......just to see their faces!! HEHEHE

Go get em, Pardner!!

God Bless
Slow

PS......Ive got a few 2440 shafts here, if you can find inserts for them should you wish to take your arrow weight up to something "heavy"  

Just be sure to spray a little silicone on the arrows.

I'm thinkin' I may need to switch to a narrow 2-blade.....

You are much a man Bro!
Just to be fair, you ought to give a Tarzan yell before turning an arrow loose

Only if you're goin Armor Piercing for them fierce Pond Frogs.

Well than, go get em !! No wonder I get charged up over these is 40# enough post, I've found low to mid 70#'s fine for me, but must uv gotten caught up in the 55#'s plenty, Heck, I think I may be gettin stronger as I get older, or maybe it's all the shootin I do, like working out I guess, muscle's get stale if ya dont use em, Im always undecided on wt# when I order a Bow, always go for mid to high 50#'s at my draw to be "safe" and realize Im somewhat underbowed afterwards, Have fun with her Rob, Im sure you'll be fine ...

82# longbow drawn to 31" pushing a 928gn arrows at 174 fps......

I'm just not confident......


That I can get my two does and one buck with that one arrow.

Your almost there for deer....but... a 2.5" special cut fletch with the little pin stripey thing just in front of it should get you there buddy.

Anything bigger...forget it!!!    

Not if you don't put it in the right spot.

TURBULATOR!!!

Should I put one on?

Your set-up is a little light at 11.3 gpp.

I too, would lack confidence until exceeding 12 gpp.

I think you need to step up 3 more lbs and keep your shots to 17.5 yds   :rolleyes:

I read your post, and my shoulder popped out of it's socket just thinking about it!

Do you duct tape a boxing glove on and use it for a blunt?

I'd use the same set-up if I could just figure out how to properly hold the bow with my feet as I pull with both hands? If it works for ya...shoot it!

Last time I tried shooting a bow that heavey my buddy said he didn't see one bit of play in my flight as he pulled me out of the target.  

I think you will be fine on thin skin small game......LOL

im with stickflinger i think the arrow would stay there and the bow lawn dart me threw thew the calilac your stalkin
