When I can get my foot up that high and hold it there, I may try that shot again. Just kidding, I cannot get my foot up high enough to shoot the ground four feet out.  In my younger day, I tried it and fell over as soon as I got the bow back, thankfully my garage stopped my arrow. I could maybe use it to shoot very steeply down out of tree stand.

From the magazines...

Unfortunately one of them was missing half a page of Howard's article.

Our deer season opens Tuesday, hopefully I'll get some time to spend in the woods. Got a new bow that needs some Mojo on it......

 

70" NM Classic, she sends a 630g cedar like a streak!

Good luck to my "Brothers of the inadequate slow shocky Bow"    :D  
Beautiful bow.  What poundage?  I also shoot a 70" and I like the smooth draw.

Thanks for posting that Bud.  An interesting read for sure.

Today turned out to be quite a day.  The first of this season's Whitetail hunts is still three hours away, but the Wesley hunt has come to an end.  This bow will only be moving south about 3 hours, but I'm grateful to my friend Danny Long (Ric O Shay) for the opportunity to own, shoot, and hunt with her.

Sharp bow Mr.Green! That Ostrich grip is sweet, I need to find a piece of that in a peanut brittle color.

Centex, I'm really not sure of the weight...lol. Its marked 58# @ 29", but its a little heavier, probably 62-63#. I have other bows that are 60# @ 29 and its heavier than them. I talked to Steve Turay about it at the GLLI and he wanted to take it back and check it out but I declined. I like the extra horsepower, took a couple months to get comfortable with it, the 70" makes it feel easier and its waaayy smooth. I shoots the same 75-80# arrows as my 63# R/D Superior LB and is just as fast.

Might be Doe only this year Eric with the new APR. I have only one legal buck pic out of 3 cameras sitting out for the past month. Lots of spikes though so 2014 should have a good crop of bucks. My Harrison likes those 200gr broadheads I got from you so that's what's in the quiver. Good luck on tuesday.

Hey CJ   :wavey:  

I've seen a couple barely legal bucks, but not much. We have no farming around here so not much good eatin and bigguns are rare, but does are fine with me.

Glad to see the APR finally, it'll pay off in a couple years. I'm no head hunter by any standard, but I do like to at least see a nice buck once in a while.

Good luck on Tuesday

About 3 years ago I fell on ice hunting & damaged my left shoulder. I've only been able to shoot 50-55lb bows since.
My Howard Hill is 60lbs. I've got a Fox 66" LB that's 56lbs. I've been shooting it, & it's gotten comfortable.
 Tonight I decided to try my Hill, it's really quiet & shoots right where I look if I do my part. I had to use a bow stringer to string it, but that's no real hinderance & may actually be a help in protecting my bow & myself.
   I only took one arrow into the backyard & shot the first arrow at 10 yards. It went right where I looked & the shot & shoulder felt good. I shot 3 more going back a few feet each shot. My last shot was from 24 steps (I'm 6'3") & it went 3" high & spot on for windage.     :thumbsup:    I 'd go up & pull the arrow each time then shoot again . I didn't want to push things so quit. That bow sure is fun Quiet, fast, & just shoots well. Soooo I'm going to hunt with it again.      :goldtooth:    
Sure felt good to shoot that one again. Sorry this is rambling, but shooting a favorite bow that you weren't sure you were going to be able to shoot again is cause for joy.     :archer2:    
Thanks!

Congrats on shooting your hunting bow Frank....and best of luck.

Thanks Westbrook....I've looked at your NM many times.  That green glass/riser combo is gorgeous.  I wish you much success with her this fall!

First hunt of 2013 is in the books.  Had a "mini doe" feeding in front of me with the fading light, but she was smaller than my German Shepard pup and I gave her a pass from my tripod location.
