I DID IT!!!!

I have been mad past few weeks. Because I could not get tight patterns with my bow. My friend Pete is really big into bow hunting. I told him at my patterns were too big for the kill zone on a deer. I let him shoot my bow. He said it shot just fine. He moved the nock point and the peep sight. and I was still too big for the kill zone on the deer. He said to watch my andchore point. so I did and still my patterns were still to big. I was about ready to give up on bow hunting. but I still shot then I got sweaty and took off my glass and I got the peep right up next to my eye and I was getting patterns in side a clay bird at 30 yards. so now I have to go with out glass for bow hunting or get contacts. my eyes are not bad enough were I need glass to see the deer and shoot safty. I am so glad now I can shoot deer and not be scard that I don't hit the deer in the kill zone. That the only thing abotu bow hunting its a lot more easy to hit the deer in a bad shot and not kill the deer and find it.

good luck shooting this year!!! wink.gif

That's gotta be encouraging! I wear contacts and would love to get that surgury if I could afford it. I never tried shooting with my glasses. I should try it and see if it affects my shot???

I always wear my contacts for everything, so I never really thought about it. I hunted one season with glasses (prebow) when I first got them in my early 20's & hated when they fogged up on a cool morning & said that's enough of that.

Well just tonight I shot my bow for about a hour. I forgot to take off my glass. I brought my peep to nose bone (the hard put of bone right by your eye on your nose) and the vane to my lip I was getting patterns inside a clay bird. so I found a way to shot with my glass. now I am really pumped for bow hunting because before I thought I could not go because my bow was not dailed in.

good luck out there kc. just keep practicing and your group will tighten in time. remember to relax the bow hand grip! big factor for new shooters. I shot with glasses for 36 years. just had lasic 1/2 year ago so looking forward to hunting this year without them.

    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
