Getting ready for June.......
« on: May 21, 2015, 02:03:00 PM »
Went out a shot my hunting arrows that I made for my Bear hunt, had to mess with a couple but now all are going where they should. Full length Carbon Express weight forward, 100 gr Brass inserts with 165 gr ACE broadheads up front for 600 gr total. After shooting them I spent some time on the deck putting an edge on them. Now my arm has no hair on it, or at best a lot less....lol!! So the Zipper is ready to go and I also shot my back up bow......a 2 pc Mohawk T/D longbow......it likes the carbons as well.

Good Going Baldy. Make sure you cover up your left arm so that mosquitoes stay away.
Relax,

I thought about your upcoming bear hunt earlier today, when you replied to my thread in the NY forum. I was thinking it must be getting close.    :cool:    

Good Luck again Ron, I hope you have a blast!    :archer2:

Good luck Ron!  I'm sure you'll have a great hunt.  Just go easy on that new knee and enjoy the experience.  And shoot a bear!

Thanks for all the good luck wishes.......June is going to be a busy month. A week of bear hunting and then a new knee and then the kids come up from Georgia......I'll need a vacation......   :biglaugh:
