Sounds good to me. I have about three dozen cedar arrows, but they are from when my dad was a kid and I would prefer to not use them...not to mention they are all in pretty bad shape. Thanks ahead of time for showing me the way. Look forward to Saturday.

Mikey....brother of the bow....fellow groundpounder....whatcha gonna do this year...your buddy Woodonly backed out....said something about if he can't shower first he won't come....plus the cost of ground beef went up so he can't make his famous meatballs...

Your always welcome over to the "poor side" of the motel and share the laughs and BS....

WHAT!!!!! Billy needs to SHOWER before he can shoot arrows?????   :rolleyes:
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Shawn, when I had faith I used 28", 50-55 cedars w/145 heads with really good luck.

Skipper --- we are gonna have a good crowd...fun during the hunt, and definately after!

Practice at standing bunnies, now that is FUNNY!!

Remember the one MikeR killed with the LDB...I don't have a compasionate bone in my body, but even I felt a twinge when that poor critter gave up the ghost!

mcgroundstalker

Saw the whole thing I did!...Shot wasn't more than ten of twelve FEET!...I think that bunny got tired of running, couldn't get to its hole, stood there looking over its back trail and...THUMP!...In The Bag!...

Was that the number "4" bunny out of A HUNDRED SHOTS?...Hope we do better this time out...

Shawn,
Been following this post and was in contact with Jeremy a week ago or so who gave me some info.
Providing Mother Nature dosen't make up for the past two months and kills us with a big snow storm that day drive up, 3 of us should be there.
Pssssttt, one will be a compund shooter in disguise as a recurve shooter. $10 to anyone who picks him out as we are walking into the woods.
I married one of those Sicilian women, so I hope I don't piss her off before we come so I can bring something that is eadible.
Either way, I hope to have somethings for the raffle up to you before then.
Have you posted an itinery for us newbies as to what time to be there and the days events?
Regards,
Jim

Ya can arrive nytime after 6:30am and the itinery is we meet, shoot some in the yard, eat a quick lunch, around 11 and hunjt the rest of the day. At dark we eat and drink and than hold the raffle. That is the best I can do, we really play it by ear. I will alos post directions from Exit 23 of The NYS Thru-Way. I will do this about a week before the hunt. It is looking good!! OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

I think that disguised compound shooter will be a cinch to pick out if you ask me.....

He'll be the guy reachin' in his pocket lookin' for his "release" as the bunny runs by LOL!!!!!

Talked to my wife about a pie or 2 and she said to have my people get ahold of her people 2 weeks in advance LOL which basically means she'll do it just remind her when it gets closer.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Shoot straight and have FUN!!

Come on guys and girls the more that come the more bows we get to shoot  :archer:
Put some air under it.

ishiwannabe

Im not sure if anyone else gets Traditional Bowhunter but there are some good articles concerning hunting bunnies and making small games arrows(Dec/Jan issue).
Also, as far as compound hunters...guilty, but I learned with a recurve. Amazing how fast it all comes back.
Damon....tragedy yesterday...during a final tillering......CRACK. A knot blew out. I will save whats left to show you tomorrow. Good thing I have more hickory staves lying around.
I think I know what I did wrong though...
I am hoping to head out today for an hour or so to practice on real bunnies....the ones on my target dont move.

David, add a crock of chili to the list of what I'll be bringing.

Shawn, I'm also close so if you need help with anything please ask!

Also, is anybody attending a "Regular" PBS member?

Shawn Leonard

Ed, we have over 40 now, that is real good!! Jamie, there will be some great self-bow guys at the hunt. Keith Deters and David(Huntflk) are very good, ya can some tips I am sure. We could also use a few more things. I will post them and have David add them to items needed list. Large garbage bags(40gal. or bigger 20 or 30 of them),1 gallon zip-lok bags(1 big box 15-20 bags), couple rolls of aluminum foil, A couple coolers and 6-8 bags of ice!! We are getting snow this Monday, lets hope it stays cold the rest of the winter and some stays around!! This thing is gonna be awesome and I want to Thank everyone for all their support, I am sure my Mom would be proud of us guys(and a Gal, Mo). She will be watching, and that makes me Happy!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

I can bring atleast two large coolers. I will get the garbage bags and ziplocks too.
Sure will be nice to talk to someone who made a bow that survived flinging a few arrows...
Didnt make it out after bunnies today, but I did ok with the targets.
