Interesting reading, great thread.  My comment was not addressed to the original posters question, but I've enjoyed seeing ya'll answers.  :campfire:

Yes, and thanks to all who also commented on that false statement.  According to his posting record, he seems to like to pick fights.

I also agree, great thread.  :campfire:

Guys, I don't usually don't do this, but I've been accused of banning people for no reason when they were given enough rope to hang themselves.  So, I'm going to post this.

Baylee has been removed from the site. I have received several personal emails complaining about this guy(some just rather email me than click mod alert)

 If you would like to see why, you can click on his name on the 1st page of this thread and his profile will come up, then you click 'show posts'.  You can read the 1st ten and get an idea of why, then after that he goes on a rant about Canadian health care.

He has also called out very experienced members with nonsense, one lately was him telling Ryan Rothhaar that he didn't know what he was talking about. Then this morning he quoted my little story about the field tip going into the Snuffer and basically called me a liar which I removed from this thread.

I've been running this site since 2003 and I know when guys have bad days, I've even had them and pulled my own posts. I have also emailed many and ask them to tone it down a bit in a polite email and most reply back with understanding.  But a few that I have emailed reply back with things I can't repeat here.  Based on my 19 years of experience here I've learned who is not worth emailing and it would be worthless for me to email him based on his posts.

Thanks for listening.  :campfire:

Terry, I don't generally reply to entries regarding punitive measures levied against a member, but I was glad to see your last post.

Thanks Sam, I don't like posting things like that either, or having to deal with it.

Not to long ago I had an issue with a change of meds that didn't agree with me and I went off on people on the phone and posted things here that were out of  my character. This went on for about 3 months before I realized what was going on.

I got my meds straighten out and delete all the non-normal me stuff I could find, and called and explained my issue to those I went off on and apologized.  They understood, and one even told me the same thing happened to him.   However, my comments weren't calculated such at those mentioned above.

Again, thanks Sam

Good on you for watch-doggin this place Terry,  I'm sure I speak for many when I say thank you.  People have the freedom to be confrontational, abrasive, condescending, insulting and all those type of thing and I'm sure there are places where they can exercise that sort of crap.  Glad to see it's not tolerated here.....which is clearly stated when you bring up this site....."must be done in an honorable fashion"!  Good folks that want to share and learn and teach and foster a positive experience, don't want to and shouldn't have to contend with an agitator. Mutual respect and the ability to agree to disagree...... it isn't a lot to ask.  Ya did right!

Terry, it's good to know you and the site mods are actually watching, reading and taking notes, then following up with appropriate action if the case warrants. Too many sites don't do that and the troubles that result are far worse as the damage is done. Thanks for working so hard to keep this place running smoothly. :campfire: :archer2:

I think one factor that in my opinion can change results is distance of the shot. Personally if I keep my shots to distances under 18 yards the perceived differences in impact point are less perceived than the further the arrow travels when I'm affecting point weight
