I gotta ask Rick...Why didn't you just "finish it off" with another arrow?

Zackly!!  Or are you a Ferret and only take one arrow hunting?  LOL

I hunted Javies in AZ with Mickey and he carried 2 arrows.  Shot a Javie and had to go find the arrows touch up the edge and shoot it again. Crazy stuff!!

Mike

It may not make any sense to anyone else, but I did want to finish him off so I just turned him loose.

CAtch and release squirrel hunting. . .what will they think of next.  LOL

Mike

   

Looks like Miss Faith will be heading to me in NY a little earlier than expected. Seems Travis has gotten sick and will not be able to hunt.  So he's ready to pass her on the the next guy....  

She will depart monday. thanx for letting me have a chance with her. Dang pnemonia got my number and this was the last real weekend I could hunt does on the ranch I was gonna try to take one with Faith. Great bow fast shooter and beautiful to boot. thanx again, Travis

Dang Travis it sucks to be sick during hunting season but it really sucks to not be able to hunt with Faith too.  

Thanks for putting your name in the hat and give us a call when you decide to move up in weight.

We can build an Orion for you with two sets of limbs (Light and Heavy) that will shoot the same speed with a 9gpp arrow.

Makes it real easy to move from one bow too the other when the arrow shoots the same.

Mike

thanx mike I appreciate it. Pnemonia sux!!!

Well, I got back from my weekend hunt this afternoon.  About 24 hours in the stand and no meat to show for it.  The only thing I had come in bow range was a small 4 point and I let him walk.  Oh well, I still had a good time with my friends.  I will give it another try this weekend.

Now Rick,

You only have a short month with the bow.  Let's not be letting too many walk.  LOL

Mike

I hear ya Mike.  We only get two buck for all season here in Illinois and with the rut just getting going I am waiting.    

I did forget to mention that the bow shoots real nice.  I have never been much of a recurve guy, but I am enjoying this bow.  It is very fast and very quiet.  I may need to rethink the whole recurve thing - but won't give up my longbows.

Rick,

Did I mention that we build a longbow limb for that riser that is only 3 fps slower and just as quiet?  LOL

Mike

Miss Faith arrived today safe and sound.

I'll make a new TS-1 string for her with a little less silencer on it and better fit for my nocks.

Just a little too tight for my liking, and it'll give the folks after me an option for nock fit.

I have her for over a month, so I figured I'd get her set-up like what I'm used to, and for the arrows I have.....

Shot her a few times in the garage and could only get about 6yds because my DB is set-up drying out from this mornings hunt. But she sure feels good...

Hope to get her tuned up and ready for next weekend!

Good luck Curt...

Good luck Curt!!!

Thanx guys      

Tonight I worked a little more on Miss Faith and have her about ready to go...just need a little more daylight to shoot a little more and tweek a few things.

I did notice the the shelf is cut very low and the feather quill was hitting my hand as it left the bow. I wanted it a little higher as that's more like what I'm used to, and with gloves on in cold weather, it'll give a little more clearance...a couple layers of velcro and it was right where I wanted it....

Only quiver I have is a tiny EFA 3 arrow, and it's great on the bow, but I like to carry at least 4 arrows,3 BH's and one hex blunt....so for now the blunt is in a piggy backer....but I would like to get a 4 arrow quiver for it, not real crazy about the piggy backer arrow moving around.....for now it'll due....

Curt,

Sounds like you two are getting along fine.  If you have any questions, give me a call.

Mike

We are Mike      

I shot some more today, and I have her ready to go.

I'll be shooting 29" Vapor 3000's with a reg. insert, and 250gr. BH's.Arrow weight is about 520grs.

I have two of the 1 1/4" VPA screw-in Terminators I want to shoot out of Miss Faith. One is solid, one is vented.....both fly very well!

Rounding out the quiver will be a Woodsman with a 125gr. adapter and the 4th arrow is a hex blunt in a piggy backer for stumpin' and small game....

I plan on spending the day in the woods  Wednesday, and Miss Faith will be with me....

Pix to follow...

Good luck Curt
