Jerry Wald · March 26, 2010, 03:59:00 PM

I am driving a car down for a friend. I will be coming through Great Falls,Billings,Denver, Amarillo,Abeliene,san antonio,loredo,

Then i will be in Peurto vallarta for a few days then flying back home.

If you are on the way..pm me and maybe I can stop by and shoot some arrows. I am hoping my bow will be ready and be shipped to Denver so I can pick it up there on the way.

Have my fingers crossed.

Cheers Jer bear

I'm between Great Falls and Lewistown, Let me know when your coming by, and we could fling a few. And eat something, If you need a place to crash that will work too. Layton

Jerry Wald · March 26, 2010, 07:43:00 PM

Thanks all - Gerardo - I will be driving with my buddy to puerto vallarta.

I'll see what he says.

L.Perry if you pm with your phone number.

GREAT NEWS FROM BLACK WIDOW TOO.

Roger phoned me and they missed my weight on my bow CRAP..

BUT he is sending a loaner to Denver so I can use it on my trip..I have a couple of weeks off.

He is sending me a 58" 60# PCH...so terry I need an idea of what arrows will work.

I have the AD's trads....I need to cut them and I have 165 grain head with 100 grain inserts, and a 28" draw.

They are full length right now.

I am looking to hunt SOMETHING on my way down if there is anyone that can help me out..great.

see first post to see my route.

Can't wait till Monday when i fly outta here.

Respectfully....

How long has it been since you've even shot a bow?

Not to mention you'll have an unfamiliar bow and arrows...but you want to hunt?

Bowshot · March 28, 2010, 01:20:00 PM

If you are driving through Red Deer Jerry, give me a buzz, I am on nights then so should be around, bring your arrows and I can cut them for you, maybe even glue the tips in for you, some people like them secure. I can ruin you, I will offer one of my Kempf bows to carry you over until you get yours, bring it back in May.

Terry

Jerry Wald · March 28, 2010, 03:11:00 PM

Bowshot that's great and thanks for the offer....Maybe I will see you, but my timing is not long in red deer this trip.

My May trip will be better

I have a bow coming from BW a loner PCH 58" @ 60#...till mine gets done and it will meet me in Denver.

I am meeting up with Tommy Clum in Denver to tune the bow in on the range.....If i feel good then I will see about hunting something.

3D's hopefully and lots of range roaming.

Guru...it's been awhile and I appreciate your concern...but I limit myself to a comfortable distance when I hunt anyway - under 15 first part of the year and then it moves out a bit when i get more time in...to me getting close is everything. Last bear I shot was under 10 yards on the ground.

If the bow feels good then I will shoot it good no matter how much I practice I hit a peak early and then I keep to that distance.

I have been shooting bows all my life.The biggest bear I got was with a loner I had shot only 6 arrows out of...It felt good and could hit what I was aiming at.

You might think that is not acceptable, but I learn faster than most ppl. I have a natural ability (don't know how that is) to be able to judge things.

I was a pitcher in baseball..never pitched before...our pitcher got hurt I went in...I could throw a 3 foot curve ball and a sinker that would make your head swim...how I did it..dunno.

I quarter backed our football team and I was a wide reciever at the time...two quartebacks were injured and I could throw.

I knew the plays from being the wide reciever...I went in and did ok. Was the starter the next year no previuos experience.

Not being cocky at all so don't get the wrong idea.

as far as my abilities with a bow...well only I know that I will see how it goes.

I appreciate your concern, but I won't be out there FLINGING ARROWS....I have too much respect for my game for that.

If I am not up to it...I will just practice...but if it comes back like it usually does then i am good to go.

I only practice about 3 weeks before the season normally anyway.....I have too many things that I love to do so my archery time is what it is.

I practice until I am comfortable and then i limit my shots.

thanks

Hey Jerry, I am in Georgetown Tx just north of Austin. If you are through here on IH35 we can shoot a bit. Don't know if I could find a place to pig hunt but we could still shoot a bit.
