Blunt Robinhood trying to keep me away from wheels
« on: May 17, 2013, 12:17:00 PM »
I have come so close to picking up a wheel bow for this next season, I think someone is trying to stop me.  I had my shoulder rebuilt on short notice before last year's season.. and have yet to shoot anything of size with a bow. As a kid I use to wander around shooting Gophers and Carp all summer long, never thought I was shooting good enough for deer.
I was in Kentucky last year and got that urge to pick up a longbow again, after 10 years of not touching a bow, ended up with my first Hill, then got transfered to MD and couldn't pass up a deal on a second.
Now I am sitting in MD and really have been amazed at the length of the archery deer season out here, so I figured I would fill a freezer or two, since I can't get fresh beef. I am still questioning myself.  So after 6 months of rehab, I am finally trying to get out and try and put a couple quivers full of arrows down range, I guess I am back where I need to be, arrows started touching each other here and there a couple days ago and I guess I wasn't paying attention when I grabbed one of my hex head blunts and ripped this to pieces.
Out $5,but It feels pretty damn good.

welcome back to the passion. Those arrows look plenty good for deer. Well, not the broken one anymore.  :)  Your shoulder should be ready for the season, good luck.

You're shooting plastic vanes out of a Hill longbow?

Looks good to me. Shooting like that, you shouldn't have any trouble on a deer. I thought I wanted a wheel bow to. After buying one, and shooting it here and there. I found out it makes a really expensive dust collector.    :knothead:    Going to stick with my onestringer. God bless.

I knew I was going to get some heat for the poor Arrow choice.  I got a dozen wally-world arrows to play with last year... and have been saying I was going to get a jig and re-fletch them (which drug on for a year.  Thanks to the Trad Classic, I now have a jug and feathers, and learning the fine art of footing carbon trash arrows as well as 4 fletching 5" shields onto those trash arrows. Should be good stump killers.  I still have a hand full of Goldtips that are desperately in need of new feathers, so I am glad I didn't kill one of them.
Definitely feels more like August the way I am getting that hunting itch
