In Topic: Gold Tip Laser II Arrows

08 April 2012 - 08:15 AM

I've had a couple of flyers with some of the G.T. Laser IIs I bought too. That's why it is important to shoot all your arrows to find out which ones perform well, or not.  Make sure you mark that bad shaft to keep it out of your hunting arrow rotation.  I expect the only way to build a matched set is to roll your own. Even then you're still going to need to eliminate the bad ones.

Good luck & keep us posted on how it goes.

In Topic: Building Ground Blinds

08 April 2012 - 08:00 AM

I find a suitable tree to sit up against and haul limbs and branches to pile up around it year-round.  I also transplant cedar trees and honeysuckle around it that will give me cover as it continues to grow.  Big downed trees with large rootballs make great starting points too.  Take some wire along to tie limbs and branches together and to force limbs out of the way without having to cut them and lose what they provide for cover.

Another good way to go is by taking parachute cord and tying it between trees, then drape whatever fabric you intend to use over the cord.  You will need to stake the bottom of the fabric to the ground to keep it from flapping in the wind.  Then I add some brush in front of the blind to help break up the outline. Expect the cord to be higher up beside the trees and for it to sag near the middle like a tennis net.

The bucks around me are already starting new antler growth. I've seen bucks with their racks into March around here before.

I know that Dorge at Firenocks sells pink nocks.  I love what Firenocks do for my shooting & hunting.
