Finally healthy enough to get out with my metal monster bow. Dang dry out that was for sure. I had hoped to set up my game cam over a water hole but it and a spring at another site were dry. So I took on targets of opportunity.
Here are a couple of pictures of the area.

40 paces the bow tip is the point of aim on these

35 paces

17 paces

A real stump at 21 paces

Here's a cowboy cabin way back in. Made with stone.

The old stove buried in the rubble

Yeah out by Cabazon and very dry. Looks like they missed all the moisture this year. Going to be tough on livestock and game. The stumps are tough so I shoot at cow turds most of the time LOL

Wow, what shafting do you use for shooting into those rocks and gravel. Are those plastic vanes? I'll have to take a closer look at your arrow rest in your bench topic.

You mean to say that you actually try to hit rocks? I don't try but find them anyway.

BenBow · « **Reply #9 on:** March 19, 2016, 11:38:00 AM »

highlow theres lots of hard dry clay that looks like rock but there are plenty of rocks to watch out for. I thought the cowboy camp was made of adobe to I took a 70 yard shot at it for giggles and grins. Found out those rock walls don't like arrows

Monterey I'm using a nap flipper rest that screws into the side of the bow and yes the arrows have vanes.

Wish I hadn't Roy now I have a takedown arrow

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #16 on:** March 19, 2016, 01:23:00 PM »

I'd have shot it from the side, in one window and out the other... LOL

Easy to do with a five Yard shot with a 15# bow.
