Anyone up for stumping in Central AR?

I'm going to Henry Gray near Bald Knob AR to stump shoot one day this week (27-30 May). I can go any of these days or everyone of them. If anyone would like to go I plan to get there about 8 am and shoot until about 1 pm. After 1 pm it's getting hot but I'll stay as long as you would like to shoot. Just let me know what day is best for you and I'll meet you there.

I know there are some fellow Arkansans on here and I'd like to meet you.

Hey Pac, It sounds like you are giving those stumpin arrows a work out. How many have you broke so far? You know if I was closer I'd be there.

The only ce 150 I have lost wasn't due to damage, it was in the side of a pig that got away. Haven't even scratched one stumping yet.

Trying something new. Just a few minutes ago I cut a 2117 into a 1/4" band and glued it on the nock end of the arrow. I want to see if it affects the arrow any. Looks cool anyway. I'm thinking it will beef the nock area up and keep it from splitting when I hit something harder than a white oak.

Found the honey hole of stumping at Henry Gray last week. Shade and not much brush to walk in. Should be able to see a snake a mile away. So many targets I take a shot, get my arrow and take another shot within a few feet.

Sure wish I get get someone to take me up on this. Not as much fun by yourself.

Pac,

I am leaving for TX to hunt with Curtis of 7th Age tomorrow for 3 days. Have fund stumping and don't forget our idea to do some hog/deer hunting around the first of OCT at Big Timber, or where ever else sounds good to you!

Hey Pac, I was over there yesterday and the water is still very high so you'll have to stay on the high areas around the shooting range. I can't commit to any particular day but I might be able to get away one day. Also spring squirrel season is still open so if you see any tree rats they're a bonus. I'll check back with you later.

The area I found that was so good for stumping was on the 1st road going to the left just before the archery range. Go down that road and park at the gate on the right that has the trail going to the food plots.

The woods on the right side of that trail from that gate almost all the way to the 1st food plot is where I was shooting. Basically behind the range but a fairly good ways away. Tons of targets to be shot and no water other than a few puddles.

Glad the arrows are working for you, now you see why thats all I use.

I don't compete in 3d shoots so I don't know if they do or not. Henry Gray is about 30 minutes from my house and I only go there a couple times a month and that's usually during the week.
