ARCHERY HEADQUARTERS in Chandler!

By buddy and I found a 66 Chevelle Super Sport in the desert back in the mid eighties that was stripped of the engine and interior. We towed it to my house and applied for and abandoned title. It only took two days to come back as a stolen vehicle. The guy said it had been stolen over 10 years earlier. He actualy was allowed to come and get his car.

QUESTION? If you don't have either a Desert or Rocky Mountain Sheep here in Az., can you put in for both of them in one calander year? Just wondering! Carl

Jim, I give you a standing ovation for getting on this forum and educating us. It's easy to get on the band wagon of doom when you don't have all the facts. Your information was very enlightening. A sincere THANK YOU!!! Carl

Hey Doug, It depends on where/if I get drawn for rifle or not!! But I will be where ever I scout out the biggest buck I can find pre-season. For archery I will be in a blind under a big juniper where I've seen a couple nice 80-90 inchers.

Here's my best coues with a rifle and my best muley with a bow. I'll ditto what Coues'n'sheep said, Outstanding Desert Ram Thor!!! WOW!

I agree with the draw for the Kaibab. I stopped hunting there 10 years ago. It use to be just awesome! Not sure what to think about the other places. I'm not so sure all the people that use to go to the Kaibab will end up in the other units. A majority of the people up there were out of staters looking for the chance at a monster muley. They probably should have reduced the number to 500 tags and had two hunts for the Kaibab. Same amount of tag oppourtunities with less pressure at one time.

Were talking about taking a turkey with them not a bull elk. It's sad to hear that your friend lost an elk with any head. I've been there. I probably wouldn't use the Rage for elk hunting but I surely will be using the Rocky mountain Snyper this year on my 4B elk hunt. It's easy to say I had a perfect shot on an animal that got away but how do you realy know what happened if you don't find the animal eventually. People loose animals every year with "perfect shots" (so they say) from both mechanical and fixed blade heads. There's mostly inocent people in jail also. Just ask the inmates! It's easy to put the blame on anthing other than yourself. I once had a perfect 10 yard broadside shot shot at a 348" bull elk right in the "bread basket". I found him bedded 6 hours later to just have him get up and run away before I could get off another shot. My hunting buddy shot him the next day about a 1/2 mile from where I inititally shot him. His arrow entered the elk less that 1.5" from where my arrow entered the elk, only his arrow went competely through the elk. My arrow actually made a right turn as soon as it hit the elk and ended up in his stomach. I was shooting an under spined arrow and can only assume what might have happened. My point is that things happen all the time that are not the norm. Mechanicals come with some inherent design attributes that must be addresed when being used. For starters, they actually do open on impact. So when walking around with them in your hand when stalking or just putting them back into your quiver can fully or partially deploy them when they come into contact with a branch or the foam of your quiver. You need to be more aware of what your doing with them. I also usually double band them when I'm hunting. They were designed to open with minimal effort so the extra band is just some insurance in case they do come in contact with something before I take the shot. This is mostly for the Snyper. I also put a band on the Rage when carring them in my quiver even though they were not designed to have a band on the front end of the blade. The owner of Rage wanted it this way. I put alot of time into the design of these heads and they are used very successfully by thousands of hunters every year. Putting a good shot where it counts with any head should get the job done. Rearward deploying mechanicals that fly like your field points simply give you the confidence to do it more often!

The Rage two blade is what I'd use for Turkeys. 2" diameter cut with the advantage of a being fully deployed on entry plus very little KE to deploy. The entry holes are actually bigger than 2" because the blades hyper extend upon deployment. Best mechanical deployment system made to date!

Archery Headquarters has them in Chandler on Chandler Blvd.

You simply can't beat the Slik Carbon Fiber 713 for $219.00 from B and H photo. They are lighter than the full size Outdoorsman, go up just as high, are just as sturdy and about half the cost. You won't be disappointed. Everyone that tries mine in the field ends up buying one. I've tried many tripods over the years and still have a couple heavier Bogens for use at camp and from the truck but the Slik is the only one that goes on hikes with me. I use a Bogen 3160 pan head on top. These are great heads but they are not made any more. You can still find them on ebay for around $50.00. When I get a few bucks saved up I will look into the Jim White head to lighten up the load even more. Good luck!

Mike, Absolutely awesome deer. You'll have a hard time beating the charecter of this one's configuration. You're a super hard hunter and your efforts pay off. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Carl

CONGRATULATIONS to the hunter. Outstanding WORLD CLASS coues.

Josh, Absolutely AWESOME buck! CONGRATULATIONS! I'll guess him right at 110". Hope I'm low. Way to get er done!!! Carl

Jay, Your deer, by far, is the most beautiful typical coues I've ever seen. I absolutely love the long eye guards. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Your write up was great to read, thanks for sharing the story. It's all down hill from here. Carl Pugliese

Can't you shoot a lion with a handgun anyway?

Super Buck! Congratulations!!

Fine Looking Deer! Nice Job Shane!

Sweet buck! That was great to have your son see the whole thing go down!
