I am on the road on tuesday morining heading to loredo tx

[Jerry Wald]

I pm'd gatorgar..thanks for the heads up....pretty confident that ANYTHING in my 15 yard comfort range is gonna be hurting with this bow.

The shooting is coming back real quick...gonna spend some time today after the 3d shoot with Tom and his buddy shooting with a real light bow though and get my good form back.

It's real good right now for 15 yards, but you can see at the 40 yard ones i am a little rusty (would shoot that far anyway).

UPDATE FROM YESTERDAY..

Did I mention these guys have a top shelf shop and they are so great with customers.

They really help ppl out WHERE THEY ARE....if they have shot before they help where thay can...if they are green they show them the best way to get started.

ppl were coming in all day with questions and concerns and bows you name it...never saw anyone leave that shop ( and I was there most of the dau just hanging out) that wasn't better off that they stopped there.

Now back to the range from yesterday.

we were shooting this buck from about 40 yards and then at fifteen.

I have a coupla arrows that missed the kill zone (the bright yellow ones) but it was at forty yards...then we moved into 15 and they tightened right up (I think my cataract surgery has not helped my long distance vision...fix that up when I get home).

but as you can see we all sprayed some way out..but in close we were way better.

 

here's tommy shooting a deer or a bear..can't see it real well sorry.

 

this is tom same target
 

this one I love...this is Tom shooting a boar laying down...awesome

 

this short video is a fifteen yards shot with the broadheads I have to see how they flew...the AD's are AWESOME..thanks Terry for all you help with these...Tom shot them and he loved 'em..

 

here's there shop..you gotts get here. You can shoot any kinda bow at all poundages and lengths..it's amazing.

 

 

more later ok..gotta run I have a half hour to get to the shop.

Jerry,thanks for sharing with us,most places and faces are familiar with me since here.Very nice BW.Take care.

[J. Adams]

Tom and his staff are top-notch!  

[kbetts]

Very cool thread.  
I didn't want to say it, but I'm going to anyway.  If you can shoot, you can shoot.....period.  If my "new" Widow gets to DE by Friday, it'll be with me Saturday.
Thanks for sharing.

[Jerry Wald]

Thanks everyone....this PCH  and the AD's are down right deadly period....I think I have found the curve that I have been looking for.

If the one I am getting is half as good as this one I will be a happy camper.

SO WE WENT TO A 3D TOURNEY TODAY:

Tom and his wife Chris met for breaky and headed out. She hadn't shot for about 6 months...but she did real well. Tom ended up winning our category..he has great form.

So we signed up...GALE FORCE WINDS,,,,WOW.

here's some pics

the gang - lots of wheelies but there was 9 trads

 

Tom and Chris looking on

 

chris shooting a bear (she has taken an elk in REAL LIFE) she a great gal

 

Tom lining up yet another great shot with Chris checking me out
 

Tom shooting a 35 yarder at a deer in a 30 mph side wind (gusting)....he is waiting for the wind to die down a bit and then says "hey the animals won't wait...he put 2 in the 10 here...WOW..in that wind at that yardage.

   

Chris and Tom in front of a northern target

 

Me and tom
 

It was a great day....helping a friend put up some lights tomorrow and then off to Carbondale to do some business and some fly fishing monday.

Probably heading to texas on wed morning.

This has been such a wonderful trip you can't imagine.....All I can say to the ppl that thought I was NUTS....WELL OK but they aren't having the fun I am and meeting the ppl I am...

Cheers Jer

[Mudd]

I'm really happy for you Jerry! You're being a great ambassador for all of us. Thank you! And thank you for sharing it all with us, with pictures too!

Keep on keeping on buddy!!!!! Be safe!!

HAPPY EASTER!! HE HAS RISEN!!

God bless,Mudd

[Jerry Wald]

Thanks Mudd....I don't know about the ambassador thang..but I am having so much fun it should be illegal.

From red deer to Montana to cheyenne to denver it has been like a fairy tale dream. Great ppl opening up there home and their time for a lowly canadian like me from the frozen north is enough to warm the hearts of anyone.

I really don't want to leave Denver though...It is close to all the places I love and the country here is spectacular.

Montana is beautiful too and there are three places i would move to in a heart beat so far.

Montana - northern idaho - denver area.

Awesome trip, nice to catch up with fellow trad shooters

[Jerry Wald]

Yes it sure is nice to meet some of the ppl that are on this site.....so far they are all top notch IMHO.

Gerardo phoned me today when I was in aspen co and told me to stop by and stay with him for a few days....think i will take him up on it for sure.

seems like a real nice fella...maybe he can teach me some spanish too to help me with my trip.

Going fishing right now in Basalt on the roaring fork river (think that's what it is called.

Pics to follow

jer bear

[Jerry Wald]

So I ended up in Basalt co - 20 miles from aspen yesterday afternoon...thought I would try some flyfishing in these famous rivers here....

The Fryingpan and the Roaring Fork..Never fished here so I went into a local flyshop here " TAYLOR CREEK FLY SHOP" that was recommended by Danny Clum at RMS.

If you ever come through here lookk these guys up - they have guides etc.

The guys were great...but the midges the use....crap are you kidding me LOL.

size 20....what are you going to catch with that...hmmm.

well I take this fly and try and tie it one to my USUAL 8 pound test...NO GO FOR SURE.

I am used to using a 4 - 5 inch woollybugger and catching a 6 inch grayling or bigger.

Well when in ROME. So I tie on some 5x tippet (smallest I had).

go out the back of there shop and proceed to cast this out there...WHAMMMM...fish on (exicitement happening in my chest)....oops fish gone...

I have never caught a brown trout...so I keep fishing lost another one....then some kids came by and threw a bunch of rocks in the river (NICE).

So I jump in the car and head out of town a ways. Back in the river...check over a likely spot.....this huge fish rolls in front of me..WOW.

SO I go down stream cross the river and sneak up on him. I toss this tiny little midge..nothin. NADA.

a couple of more casts...nothing...so I switch to a bitchcreek nymph....WHAM.....big hit a tug and GONSOLONZO.

NOW THIS IS THE WEIRD THING....i look down at my rod and it has brown specks all over it. It was windy and a light rain....about 50 degrees.

then it just keeps getting browner...my coat is covered too. I am in a friggin MUDD STORM....MUDD you made it to CO bud.

I go back to the car - IT WAS LATE - this is what I found

 

 


Time to get a motel room. I talk with the locals and they say the winds from the west take the dust into the upper atmosphere and then when it rains it make MUD...WIERD.

SO I wake up to this:

 

 

4 inches of semi-wet snow - mud frozen on the G8...not a good combo....anyway I am off to the car wash and then the river for another go.

   :rolleyes:  

THen back to Denver to see the boyz at RMS and then off to texas tomorrow.

Been a grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat trip so far though.

Glad I can share it with you all...

[tradtusker]

Dam its a pity im not still in Gunnison Mate id have had you out on some Great Fly fishing!
 and right now would be perfect for a few of my Pike and Brown honey holes.
Bit of Shed hunting while stump shooting in the mountains would be good right now too.

Keep safe!

[Mudd]

You just never know when and where I'm gonna show up...lol The guys on this last seasons pig hunt didn't recognize me when they were wallowing thru it with Rob doing his version of driving...lol

Keep on keeping on Buddy and be safe!

God bless,Mudd

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Good on ya, Jerry!

[Gerardo]

COLORADO is  surpirsing!!!!!!
