HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

September 01, 2015, 05:09:00 PM

Roy, this bow is going to mess with my bow usage pattern. I am giving one bow, a 56 very long Kodiak Special to a kid this week. I am going to turn over my Half Breed from a blank next week to my son. I hope he appreciates it, it really is one the best longbows that I have ever shot. I tried to turn my lefty takedown Robertson over to another guy, but it was too stiff for him. Thinning the ranks the way I do it can be stressful. The next JD Berry creation I get is going to be just as special. I am mixing things up just a bit on James, I ordered lefty at 50@26. I am going to switch that one to righty and low fifties, perhaps 55@27".

A few of my ASL's

Very cool! How do you even settle on one? Haha

Jim Picarelli · September 05, 2015, 11:16:00 PM

I shoot them all. I have 5 more that aren't pictured including a Big Five which is my favorite.

Is it just me or are flying doves hard to hit?

Must be you.......I never have a problem

I did get two on the ground the day before, but I set up in the fight pattern and tried them on the fly by. Way different deal, with all that weavin' and dodgin', it's hard to imagine that they ever get where they want to go. I ended up chewing out the whole flock, after they weaved their way over the grove and across the field, about a hundred of them sat on the powerline and snickered at me.

Nice collection Jim!

Pavan, you need to practice for what you hunt. Tie some beer cans on your wife's clothesline and step back about 40 yards and then fire away. Great practice for knocking those dove off the power line. If this is your first time be sure to use empty cans. Good hunting, Brian.

I would also have a back up main dish in case you do not score enough for a meal. Just kidding of course.

Tim Wells clobbers doves with a compound, says to swing through and get out in front of them

I think he is maybe either hunting them at a pond or near a roost. I should maybe use a spendy snaro, a near miss with a .38 case is near, but it is still a miss. It is too easy with the pond doves to just let them land first, but those do tend to have more flavor than the pass shot missed ones.

Elk did not cooperate....

Nice pheasant.... Did you get it on the wing? They are tough buggers...

Just took delivery of this beauty yesterday...an all yew Allen Boice Classic. Slight forward handle and string follow. This is astonishingly the most quiet bow I have ever shot. Just a pure joy shoot. Enjoy....

That's a gorgeous bow. Love the yew.
Any quick comparison to other similar bows?

Linwood Hines · September 10, 2015, 12:45:00 AM

Been away for quite a while - trying to come back after another shoulder operation and pt - and wanted to start reading this very missed conversation. Y'all keep it going please!

two4hooking · September 10, 2015, 07:50:00 AM

Is that a HIll style bow? Riser does not look the part....

That is a semi reverse handle in the Boice bow hence the different look. Very resistant to grip torque. My Boice is the easiest bow I own to pick up and shoot accurately. I love my Hill's but the Boice is so forgiving.

I beleive it is a straight limbed bow.
