Gonna take off untill it cools off a bit. Close to 90 this afternoon. I put 14lbs of ice in her to help her cool out. Today was the opener for WV Archery, and VA Youth. Saw a couple of nice ones taken by kids at the meat cutter, who's in Clarke County. My grandson and his dad are back at it right now. What fresh Hell is this?

Steel cased Hornady 123gr SSTs. same load he used last year on a forkie. This hit was far from perfect, but still did the job. Both times he got a pass-through. Good stuff. What fresh Hell is this?

I might pick one up and I am even older than you. I use a crank for practice, and when I cock it before I go into the woods. I carry the rope for reloads in the field. 260 pound prod, 130 pounds of effort with the rope. 12 pounds cranking effort. The crank for the Matrix Bulldogs is pricey, but so is physical therapy and back surgery. I'm knocking on 68, and strains heal slowy. What fresh Hell is this?

Makes quite a smack when that bolt hits. I use Muzzy 125gr 3-blades. Might be a better head, but I don't know how you could tell. What fresh Hell is this?

I had problems with the Muzzy's wind planing past 35 yards or so. They make a heckuva hole. My pard killed a big Missouri 10 point with his rig shooting the GRs at 65 yards. Went in behind onside shoulder and came out through offside shoulder. Deer took ten steps as fell over. Ray Charles could've followed the blood trail. Your mind is your primary weapon.
