Aerial Shooting Practice - Self Thrown - Video
« on: January 12, 2012, 10:58:00 AM »
I got out for just a few shots the other day.  I had not done this for a very long time but I was reminded of the many benefits of this kind of practice.  Any feedback will be appreciated.  Anything else you would like to see?

do you shoot the same weight bow as you do deer hunting or do you go a little lighter, just wondering?

Even the ones you missed they weren't by much. Thanks for the show.

I shoot the same poundage for deer, elk, and birds, 65# @ 28.  Birds can be tough to take down so I wouldn't recommend anyone drop weight for hunting.  If someone just enjoyed shooting aerials with no intention of hunting, weight would be less of a concern, but faster arrows still reduce the large leads that are required.

Great fun! Do you hunt pheasants there in Idaho? Always thought it would be cool to head to S. Dakota for a pheasant bow trip. That's if they allow bows.

I am shooting a Centaur Chimera 65# @ 28" with 30" Gold Tip 7595's, tips were zwickey judo points and VPA Small Game Thumpers.  All the flu flus were 6 fletch with a heavy helical.

I do hunt pheasants but recently have spent more time on chukars and huns.  They are closer and more plentiful but a lot harder to hunt and hit.  We should look at getting a western hunt setup some where.  I wonder how guys we might be able to get together for a western states pheasant shoot.  I believe there are some preserves in Vale, Oregon, not sure where else.

Spirals will work great, get some open space and start throwing!  (pick up our dvd if you want to shorten the learning curve ;-) )

Love to try this sometime. Vale sounds like a possibility.
You've got some great looking dogs on your site!
