HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Mudd]

I have a Double Bull blind that I've shot 68" ers out of by just watching my limb tips.

It doesn't matter where or what your shooting out of, you can't forgot where "everything" is in relation to all of your bow.(tips included)

These kind of thoughts seem to get lost when live critters show up on the scene..lol

God bless,Mudd

Thanks for the thoughts guys.  I may just pick up a taller ground blind if I find one on sale.  If I worry too much about the limb tips hitting, it ruins my concentration.

I just pulled the trigger..........on a used "Wesley Special". 69" 40# @ 29". Looks to be in excellent shape and I'm excited.

Congrats Ron.  Without a doubt, the Wesley is my favorite bow.....to shoot, and to look at.  Enjoy!

You'll love it. I've owned four Wesleys, and my current favorite is a custom Wesley Craig tailored for me. It is smooth like butta, and is a true pleasure to shoot.

Thought I would add a picture of my Shelton in its natural habitat.  Saw a doe about 30 seconds after snapping this picture.  Never got a shot!

Well Gang, I thought I would share a little success with all of you. Opening day in N.H. was September 15th,2013 a sunday. I am hunting from a treestand. A few minutes into legal shooting light, I had 3 bucks cross the ridge at 35 yards, no shot presented too much brush. Just then I suddenly looked over my right shoulder and there she was at 5 yards. I immediately did a 180 in the stand. Had to be careful and move slowly, there is another smaller doe facing my direction at 5 yards. By the time I was ready to draw the bigger doe was about 17 yards out and broadside. I drew my bow hit anchor, smooth clean instintive shot, the arrow passing completely through the doe and burying in the ground. The doe scooted a little bit and acted like she wasn't hit. Watch her cover about 50 yards and then took off to her left, found her about 75 yards as the crow flies. The arrow passed through both lungs, hitting where an X-ring on a 3D target and coming out the same spot on the far side. The bow I was using Howard Hill "Tembo" made like a "Big Five" by Ted Kramer in the 70's brown glass,shedua riser, bamboo limb core. The bow is a 70"68#s at 28"  I have hunted this a couple more times and still continue see does and button bucks. I have 2 more tags to fill, looking for something with a little more bone on it's head than buttons. Good luck to all of you. Jacques

Hey Congratulations Jacques!!!! Way to get it done.

[far rider]

Nice job!

[Green]

Congrats Jacque.  Good luck on tagging out.

Hey rider,

What are the woods used in that Wesley photo? Sweet bow!

[Ric O'Shay]

Well, RC's Hill Cheetah ( aka: Keeper Kat )has been around the country a few times. It has been owned and sold by Brother Mudd more times that I have fingers and toes.      

Let me say that now it has found a home down here in Texas. It looked a little frazzled from its 6 day trip from Missouri to Texas (due to a zip code number being transposed). But a good cleaning and a new rusk colored pigskin grip and she looks good as new.

I'll post up a few pics of this poor unwanted (until now) step child later this afternoon.

JohnHV, please tell us about your Shelton..

What is the riser wood, core, and veneers on your bow.. It's a good looker !

[JohnHV]

Pat B.

The Shelton pictured is a 66" two-piece take-down (connexion) 53# @ 28".
Limbs are carmelized bamboo cores and American Elm veneers.  
Bocote riser with a slightly dished grip.
I added the leather grip and the beaver tail strike plate.
I had Steve tiller her for 3-under.

She is good looking, quiet and throws a heavy arrow.  
What more could you ask for in a hunting companion?  

[RC]

Danny, The "Keeper Kat" is a pig killer.It just got harder to pull or I got weaker not sure which...RC

[Ron Roehrick]

Jacques great shooting as always, hope all is going well on your end. Ron.
