Anyone into archery?

[Wolfman]

Just bought my first bow today. The Diamond Core. Shot like 15-20 arrows through it and it feels pretty nice. Priced very reasonably compared to some of the faster bows too

Awesome! I know nothing about bows. I just signed up on archery talk

 

[Ti28]

I'll get some pics tomorrow. The woman got her's 1st and it's the diamond. Got my Browing a few weeks back. I've always been guns. She wanted a bow so we got her one, and well I followed suit because we can shoot in the yard. So why not.

Used to shoot when I was younger. Had a Hoyt that I loved. Buddy owns a local bait/archery shop now bought my Mathews monster off him 3 years ago. Got a good deal on the demo model they had.

Glad I'm not the only one! Being in northern New York leaves me with few options for hobbies. Its turkey season!

 

[Shibby50]

Lucky you I missed turkey season this year. Always take a week off work for deer season though. Mon-Thursday of bow then fri-sun of shotgun

 

[Wolfman]

We actually have a black bear season up here too. Don't know what I would do with a fucking black bear though

 

[Ti28]

Kill it butcher it and eat it! Bear is good! I grew up in the Pocono area so we always bear hunted.

Recurve is the only way baby

I've got a barnett crossbow. Old school one.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I still have my bow.

Bear Super Kodiak, 60", 45# draw. I've outgrown it, but its an easy bow to shoot.

My dad got it for me when I was in the 6th grade and it took a while before I could even string it.

I'm HUGE into bow hunting. I have 5 bows but my baby is my mathews. I have a pretty sick setup.

 

[VR SS]

I bow hunt deer mainly but do small game occasionally and waiting to get my bear permit. Might take up turkey possibly as well. I also do video range shooting and bow fishing with my other bows.

 

[Wolfman]

Glad to see there are some experienced guys on here! That brings up my next question. I don't know what to do with the animal after I kill it. Any links on how to skin/gut/clean the animal?

 

[DynaSlim]

Links? sausage links?

What you looking to hunt? Got a big tree in your yard to bleed out a deer?

[DynaSlim]

The one I was looking for.

 

[Wolfman]

That was insane

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

I now feel confident in dear cleaning after that video lol

 

[Ti28]

Next year I'm doing all Bow in WI. 3 months is the season compared to 9 days for gun. I ate my tags this year.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

rifle tags? $250 a pop?

 

[Blood on Blood]

The one I was looking for.

Damn sharp knife

 

[Ti28]

recurve ftw, still gots all my stuff

killed a coon that was squatting in our attic a few years back.

was nice and easy to pull him out.

wasnt easy drawing a recurve horizontally in an attic with a pissed off raccoon.

i still have all my crossbow bolts, my cross got stolen out of my imperial back in HS
