    I Know This Is LRH... But What Is The Shortest Distance You Have Taken A Live Target?

    Closest was a red fox with a recurve bow. I was sitting in a brush pile. Called it in with a Weems duo tone call. Squeeked on the back of my hand at full draw. It would have been impaled on the arrow if the bow had not been drawn. Arrow entered hide before it cleared the bow. Second closest...

    Scope recommendations for Prairie Dogs

    A good clear scope in the 20 power range should serve you well without excess weight. Make sure you have a sunshade. Sunburned retena is very painful. That being said, I hunted in South Dakota several years with a 4X fixed power Leupold on a 14" handgun to 350 yards and beyond without any...

    Caliber combination for prairie dog hunting?

    I had a 10 twist 700 Rem 223 that just loved 52 grain Speer HP . Shot out 3 barrels over the years. My last trip out had a 8 twist 223 and used 65 Sierria GK . Both rounds gave a satisfying red mist and resounding whop. Also used a 22-250 and 6MM while cooling barrels.

    Bow Tuning ??

    Any reputable dealer in your area should be able to tune it for you. I would find a dealer that sold whatever brand you own. Should be a pro shop. A good pro shop can tune both bow and shooter.

    Tell me what you see…

    I was pleased. Just a load that I threw together to test gun after build. Shot 3 groups like that sighting in. Decided to go with it. I'm not sure it will work on game,so am going to try SST. Right now in process of moving. Should think about building ark for moving van.

    Tell me what you see…

    This is 120 ELDM and TAC I'm new to this caliber,has anyone used the 123 SST on deer sized game? Planning to try it if it ever stops raining. The shot to the right is called flier. The only target I had handy was slow fire pistol.

    Colorado Is Going NUTZ - Anti Gun Legislation

    Living in Wisconsin, the problem is that 75% of the people live in 25% of the state. The big city idiots control the vote. These people know nothing about guns except what they see on the news. If the news says that the only thing a firearm is good for is death and destruction, then that must be...
