New Mexico high desert stumpin (pic heavy)
« on: March 18, 2016, 10:00:00 PM »
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
   
   
But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

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.   :banghead:

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

Wide open spaces........pretty cool.

Looks like a great walk!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
