New Mexico high desert stumpin (pic heavy)

[BenBow]

Finally healthy enough to get out with my metal monster bow. Dang dry out that was for sure. I had hoped to set up my game cam over a water hole but it and a spring at another site were dry. So I took on targets of opportunity.
Here are a couple of pictures of the area.
 
 
40 paces the bow tip is the point of aim on these
 
35 paces
 
17 paces
   
A real stump at 21 paces

[Elk whisperer]

is that out by Cabazon ,must be tough arrows shootin those old juniper stumps

[BenBow]

Yeah out by Cabazon and very dry. Looks like they missed all the moisture this year. Going to be tough on livestock and game. The stumps are tough so I shoot at cow turds most of the time LOL

thanks for sharing beautiful country

[monterey]

Wow, what shafting do you use for shooting into those rocks and gravel. Are those plastic vanes?  I'll have to take a closer look at your arrow rest in your bench topic.

[highlow]

You mean to say that you actually try to hit rocks? I don't try but find them anyway.  

[BenBow]

highlow theres lots of hard dry clay that looks like rock but there are plenty of rocks to watch out for. I thought the cowboy camp was made of adobe to I took a 70 yard shot at it for giggles and grins. Found out those rock walls don't like arrows    
Monterey I'm using a nap flipper rest that screws into the side of the bow and yes the arrows have vanes.

Wish I hadn't Roy now I have a takedown arrow        

[Roy from Pa]

I'd have shot it from the side, in one window and out the other... LOL

[monterey]

Easy to do with a five Yard shot with a 15# bow.  

[Roy from Pa]

Ya know sompen boy, I just might have to make me a road trip out there and thump ya ah good one.. LOL

[BenBow]

Monterey I wouldn't worry none about that whoopin Roys only got one good hand now and at his age its slower than molasses in a PA winter.
