So who built the bow for you Clements or Linebaugh? I know Al probably did the work on your release to get it down to 2 lbs with no creep!

Master Smale : does it have wheels ( Double Action ) or just limbs ( single action ) ?

If it is a yew bow with feathers attached at the ends and you are using flint knapped broadheads and real feathers, I think it is a cowboy shooting action bow...

good luck with your bow hunting, If you use really heavy arrows like I do you can get the complete pass through... How heavy you go with those...? like my cast bullets I like to go really heavy... and actually use regular two bladed broadheads..

I shot over a does back with my crossbow this evening at 42 yards, have to remember to aim low when shooting down from a 15' tree stand..............

No I think it fits into the category of single shot sorta like a TC rather than being single or double action like a revolver.

nope out of the box golden eagle obsession. Al would chase me around with a sixgun trying to shoot me if he even heard me mention bows. Hes not a fan! I do believe in the heavier is better threory with arrows too. Slow and heavy gets the job done!

This Is A Classic Example Of the projectile hitting high (either uphill or downhill) for when this old argument hits the rifle forum again.

Lloyd...What you have is a single shot like Graybeard said. You can turn it into a fast single shot if you hold the next arrow to go between your teeth

jest don't let it get in front of that string.

Lloyd, my first (and last) bow was a Bear recurve about 40 years ago. Back when you used to be able to stop by Bear Archery in Grayling and talk with Fred and watch one of his videos (whoops, it was 16mm back then) for 50 cents. My one bow hunting trip was when I was working in Flint third shift. After working all night, I drove up to Grayling on a beautiful, warm fall day. I walked out in the woods and found a place where two runways crossed (just like I did for firearm season) sat down under a tree and promptly fell asleep. I woke up about 4:00 in the afternoon, walked back out, and drove home. I guess I had a lot to learn. How much sleep time do you get in the deer blind? 44 Man

Would a cross bow be an assault bow? If your quiver hold more than 10 arrows, is that a large capacity ammunition feeding device, (high cap. magazine)?

I also use the snore lure technique. In a tree stand I believe it is called the snore yell crash and swear technique. Not a big fan of the latter, so I stay out of the trees. It's not the fall but the sudden stop at the end that gets you.

Do you use those (cop killer) mechanical broadheads or real broadheads?

ncsurveyor · « **Reply #14 on:** October 04, 2007, 07:37:54 AM »

Did you fill out the ATF paperwork to put the silencers on?

SHOOTALL · « **Reply #15 on:** October 04, 2007, 08:28:19 AM »

If you use rubber suction cups instead of broad heads would it be a SAFE ACTION like a Glock ? Neither single or double ?

lloyd,there are rigs out there to convert your double action to single action,remember them bowhunters are always getting knocked.
