No Longer for sale....

Kinda late notice...but for anyone who isn't aware the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown takes places this weekend at the Triangle T Guest Ranch east of Benson. Registration for competitive shooters closes on Friday April 1st. The shoot is hosted by the Desert Archers and features 3 competitive courses and 3 fun courses. I helped set up a course last weekend and it is a gonna be a great shoot. You can register here: http://www.desertarchers.com/RumbleRocks.html or see the attached PDF for more info. RumbleRocksFlyer.pdf

Thanks to everyone who came out to the shoot. Scores are up on the Desert Archers website. It's my understanding that participation in the Competitive classes was the highest level ever. Thanks again for supporting the shoot and congrats to the winners. Here are a few pics that don't do justice to shooting 3D in this unique environment.

Bump for pics...and the bow goes from 26" to 28.5"

There is "primitive" camping on the property for $5 (I think) and some RV camping with electric/water hookups for a few bucks more as well, but you might want to call Triangle T to confirm availability. I think registration closes at 5 PM Friday for the competitive shoots, but you can register online and then show up Saturday morning if that is easier. The fun courses will be open to shooters on Friday afternoon. Hope you can make it.

Nada for me, but my cousin got a juniors cow tag in 4A and another friend drew 5B North archery bull, so I will get some time in the woods.

Looks like a Montec G5?

$40...just in time for the Rumble in the Rocks...

I have perfect condition Specialty Archery Super Stix 30" stabilizer for sale. It weight about 12 ounces and features four carbon rods and a quick disconnect. I got it to try with one of my bows...but I think I prefer a more traditional hunting style stabilizer. $50 in Tucson. Product details and pics: The 4-rod Super Stix is a proven stabilizer that has been used by various world champions. The Super Stix base uses a compression fit which will enhance the strength and durability. The Super Stix is made from 4 high modulus light weight, small diameter carbon rods, with a Super Ball end to absorb energy allowing the shock to dissipate away from the bow. The SVL Navcom slider also absorbs noise and shock. The Super Stix also has a built in Quick Disconnect for swift and easy removal for casing your bow. The 30" Super Stix comes with a 0.52 and 0.72 ounce weight. The weight of the stabilizer is 12.1 ounces.

Bump for pics...I will be in Sedona this weekend and could probably meet someone in Flag or off the I-17 in PHX if anyone is interested...would trade for a decent right hand hip quiver or Scott release.

Yea, it was cheap to begin with and my rifle kicked through the rear strap pretty quick too. It is actually more solid now than when I bought it. But I prefer to shoot off a bench from bags as it is a more similar to a rest I can build in the field. This would still make a great shooting aid for somebody, especially someone who takes kids to the range.

both gone...

Shoulda mentioned...buck was a dead head pick up several years ago...finally got around to doing something with the antlers.

I just got this back from a friend. He mounted it on a nice piece of mesquite. I think it looks great.

At this weekend's Desert Archers 3D shoot it was announced that Pima County is now offering a $25 annual pass for unlimited use at their archery range in the Tucson Mts. This is a great deal for anyone who heads out there, and if you haven't you should, it is a beautiful range. The county doesn't have anything on their website about it yet, but you could try calling someone at the Desert Archers for more info. I think the guys at Bull Basin in Tucson hope to be selling them soon as well.

Steelheads sold. Meatseekers still available...these things are piston driven and will open up on impact and leave a gaping hole...

I have 4 ( 3 heads in each pack) packs of unopened Trophy Ridge 100 grain Steelhead and 3 used ones (good for practice, but the blades would need to be replaced to hunt with them. SPF to GotCoues I also have 3 "Meatseeker" 100 grain mechanicals...2 have never been fired, one has. $10 for all 3.

I think that has to do with whether or not your reticle is in the first or second focal plane...if I am shooting past 200 yards my scope is always maxed at 12x so it isn't an issue for me.
