Outdoors thread

Well, it’s a hot breezy afternoon in the tree stand, but I drug the camper up here to spend a few early mornings and evenings trying to fill the archery tag.

I am saddened to report that I missed a shot at a doe this morning. Didn’t trust my sight and thought she was further out than she really was. I thought I’d aim it right over the top of her shoulder and … that’s exactly where the bolt went. Sumbitch.

Still … it beats the heck out of a day at the office.

Here's the video after he shot. You can see the lighted nock in him.



Always amazes me when people archery hunt huge animals like Elk, Bear, etc.

I have been on an Elk hunt once and my buddy shot a Bull at 120 yards with a .300 Win mag (muzzle break on that mofo made it so loud it hurt my teeth) & that Elk still managed to run/walk like 400 yards and drop in some plum thickets and tall grass. (Shot broke front side shoulder and exited chest missed heart and lungs but still that Bull was a tough sumbitch to walk that far. Obvi Run the Damn Ball guy)

I've been on archery hunts looking for a shot Mule deer that we find so fucking far away. I can't imagine dropping an elk with a bow.

Muzzle brakes definitely help the shooter keep the barrel from "kicking" up, but they absolutely suck to be next to, either on the range or in the field. If its one thing the FFA got wrong, it was the villianization of suppressors. I'd love to have one on every single firearm I own, sans the Beretta 1301 Mod.2 home defense shotgun. Shock and awe with that sumbitch.
