Fun day stumping with fellow tradganger
« on: March 10, 2007, 12:06:00 PM »
Forecast 80% chance of rain..HA we laugh at the rain. Fellow tradganger David Sapp and I arranged to meet for a little stumping/deer scouting/shed hunting before he heads home to Tennessee. Took my son Brian with us.

David was carrying a Super Shrew and had a Shrew backquiver. The whole outfit was very nice. Brian and I got to shoot the Shrew and must say it was smooth and fast...and David knows how to shoot it too! As soon as we got out of the truck David spotting a plastic bag about 30 yards away and just hammered it. Brian I both missed.

Brian was shooting his trusty Assenheimer. The same one he used on his 142" whitetail this year. The kids got game!

I was shooting a little osage sliver made by David Mims called Twiggy

 

At one point we found a lid of some sort and I threw it up for brian...he missed and claimed it was because I was a lousy thrower. So he threw it up for me and of couse I nailed it. He must be a good thrower    ;)

David showed us a bunch of good deer sign and the stumps never stood a chance (for the most part)...at least we never lost an arrow ha ha. Never found any sheds either. Finally we called it quits and headed for the truck.

Wish we'd have gotten together sooner David. Just found out what a nice guy you are and now you're moving. Call me when you come back to visit and we'll either stump or hunt.

If I'm not hunting, I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon, friends and stumps...., looks like the selfbow kept right up with those "modern" bows....  :thumbsup:

Mickey-
Glad y'all liked it as much as I did. Very nice meeting you and Brian, it would be very nice to do it again sometime.

My form looked a bit better than I imagined it would in that second pic, though it looks as if I was starting to get lazy with my bow arm and drop it after the shot. At least I reached anchor.

Oh and I did see that shot Mickey made on the flying bucket top. Great throw by Brian, but I think Mickey may have had his eyes closed. You can do that sort of thing if the thrower is good enough.....   :smileystooges:

I got some stumping in today with my three year old son. He had a great time on his first trip in the woods. I couldn't hit anything. I never tried those rubber blunts, do they affect arrow flight?

LCB no the rubber blunts don't affect flight, at least not that I have seen. WE bounced them off some pretty tuff stumps today. David had a plastic nock pop off one of his arrows when he hit one of the stumps with a metal judo head though. Another benefit is there is no taper behind/inside the rubber blunt. The arrow is cut off flat inside.

Man that looks like fun. Out my back door there is still twenty inches of snow. I always look forward to seeing good old dirt.
Its melting (45 degrees today) but the snow will steal your arrows and never give them back, so I gotta wait a while longer. Shoot a few for those of us who still have too much snow cover yet.

Thanks for smile that I could not help but have after reading and seeing the fun you had! Love the self-nocked stumping arrows!  :thumbsup:   I find it hard to believe though, that such accomplished hunters found not a single shed. If you come down to Virginia, you will find sheds aplenty, indeed, my father has one beside the house. He would be sad to have somebody cart it off, however, as it would leave his tools without protection from the elements.
