Eh? Been shooting a crossbow the past 4 seasons. Bought a bow and had it set to 70lbs. Don't see too mich difference between 60, 65 and 70. Was just saying didn't feel anything in my shoulder to concern me. Tore my rotator cuff 4 years ago in July
Getting there, only bad thing about the 18:1 is it isn't very big. I have a big block target I got for my crossbow to spread the shots ouy but when I wanted to see how broadheads flew I couldn't get it out. Had to unscrew the bolt from the head so it is still imbedded. What does everyone do in that instance? Was a few years ago and haven't used the target since in fear of ruining arrows and I have forgotten where it is lodged.
Wow I need lots of practice with The LW...... Over 30 minutes for the first setup on a tree with no branches, lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well got out and scouted that small 6 acre or so public land piece that is detached from main prop. Evidence of a couple doe groups bedding on the hillside. Jumped a few and found numerous tracks. One small acre or so part showed a lot of evidence of old rutting which is good. Good little funnel ...both terrain and cover and the thick cover butts up against a serious ravine. The pic of the ravine doesn't do it justice. Didnt leave my trail cam out there bc I was worried it would get stolen and I dont see evidence of a lot of browsing which means I dont think thr bucks will be in there until Oct. Did pick up one decent sized track on the swamp and leading uphill. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Wow, he has come a long way From your post June 27th. Not sure of the date of pics but still... just over a month or so of growth, damn
Have you done anything more than pulling the cards in monitoring him or time to keep him on his own routines and not risk intrusion?
Just keep an eye on him from a distance for the next few weeks....I'll get real aggressive again right before I try to kill him.
But that only works if applied before the shot. I don't know what to do about the one thats already stuck in there. Maybe you can find the original hole and stick a shaft in it without a point and try to rethread it onto the shaft then pull. I keep a #8-32 threaded rod with a threaded rod coupling on the end of it incase I hit a tree, fence post, etc. Means I can just unscrew the shaft from the broadhead and screw that threaded rod and coupler onto it and I don't have to worry about ruining my arrow or having the insert pull out and if its really stuck good I can bust out the vice grips and a pry bar and go at it. I've only used that setup to remove broadheads that are at least partially sticking out of whatever they went into, not sure how it would work on one thats fully imbedded inside the target. The coupling nut is a bit larger than a standard arrow shaft but not by a lot and I'm guessing its about the same size as an X-bow bolt so it might work. You would definitely need to use something to lubricate that coupling and even then its probably going to take some serious elbow grease getting it in there and once its all the way in to the broadhead then some pliers to turn it so you can screw it onto the broadhead. Also, you'll need to put a regular nut on the threaded rod and tighten it up to the coupling so it acts as a jam nut to hold the coupling in place on the threaded rod since you'll need the whole coupling to turn inside the target (otherwise the threaded rod is going to just screw in to the coupling instead of turning the coupling). I don't have a X-Bow so I don't know if the bolt inserts use the same #8-32 thread profile that regular arrow inserts use so you might wanna confirm what thread they have so that the threaded rod and coupling matches the thread pitch on the broadhead.
