Since archery season is starting up pretty soon here I've been asking myself what it would take for me to blow my early November coues tag. Since I live in mule deer county I keep telling myself that a 160"+ mule deer would do, but then again I still have that disappointed feeling in my gut of not being able to hunt down south for my rifle coues tag. Darn those coues deer! So I guess my question is, when archery hunting what would it take for you to blow your rifle coues deer tag? Nate

I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that I enjoy hunting coues a lot more than I do mule deer. SO if I am going to shoot a mule deer I'd want it to be SOMEWHAT respectable. To each their own, I'd pass on a spike, forky or a small 2 point with my bow to be able to hunt coues in November, but that's just me. These coues have me addicted, and not being able to hunt one because I stuck a forky/spike muley in August would eat me up, BUT then again it is a deer with a bow. Just thought I'd throw it out and see what everyone else would do with the given situation.

I shot the Reflex Buckskin for about 2 1/2 years and loved it. I did replace the string to Shooters Edge after a year and it shot even better. Then I bought a Ridgeline 34, it's super smooth from draw to release. Unfortunately I shot a Bowtech just to check them out, ended up selling my Buckskin to by my Bowtech. Reflex is still a great brand and I would highly recommend their line for someone starting out, heck I'd recommend them to anyone.

Looking at picking up a stabilizer for my Bowtech this week. What do you guys use?

Ha! As much as I like the Hoyt line I wasn't too impressed when I shot the Katera. For some reason I felt the "twang" in the riser after everytime I shot it. It's going to be hard for me to not shoot outside of Bowtech now.

I'm not too worried about shock as my bow has virtually none without a stabilizer right now, what I'm looking for is one with good counter balancing.

I've heard good things about doinkers, I see Fuse everywhere but have not heard any reviews on them.

Thanks, I guess it was just my browser that wasn't working. It showed the flyers this time. Thanks for all the info, I just might make it out. Nate

Hey Doug, was there a link to the shoot in the first post? I'm thinking I might want to swing by if there's just a fun shoot course. How much are raffle tickets? Nate

Nope, there's only one. I watched them for a good while.

Took my brother, nephew and sister in-law out for a day in the desert. On the hike down I decided to glass a hill that looked promising and to my surprise I found these guys chillin. If you look closely the deer second to last moving left to right is a buck, probably got about 4-5" of antler right now. Enjoy.

Again nice pics Rob, was the bull alone? He's a nice one, can't wait to see how he ends up. How far away were you when you took the pics? Call me next time you head up this way. Or are you here already?

Nice find Rob! Next time take the pic without the road in it!

Went out again this morning but forgot to put the memory card back in the camera. Was able to glass up 4 bucks, and a herd of 8 pigs. Man I need some Zeiss, was hard to make out the pigs so far out until they started moving.

Pardon my ignorance on this subject but I'm just curious and clueless on this topic. What's the difference in ballistics between regular mags and short mags. Is there much of a difference? I'm a bow guy so this is new to me, I've been looking into buying a rifle for the longest time and as soon as I think I find one I learn something else. So any info is appreciated. Nate

I'm still looking, several guns catch my eye but we'll see how it ends up

I've seen the blades chip really easy when shot into a target. Not impressed with them. Another vote for Slick Trick, especially with their new heads coming out.

Flag is getting a Sportsmans Warehouse in the Fall of 2009. All I have to do now is wait

Cool pics! Wasn't Chonan the one who threw the crazy flying scissors to an ankle lock on Anderson Silva a few years ago?

Ended up putting some Winners Choice on my bow, i'm impressed so far

What strings are you shooting? I've heard good things about Winners Choice and Vapor Trails, I sure do wish Shooters Edge was still making strings, he did an excellent job at a good price.

32

I'm shooting a Bowtech Tribute that I just bought off a guy, and I'm replacing the string. I decided to go with Winner's Choice as I always hear good things about them.

RR- Thanks for the info, wish I could have made it

How did the shoot go? I was itching to go but couldn't make it, are there going to be any other shoots this summer besides the bowhunter happening and clints well?
