Broadhead question
Im currently shooting a Muzzy 125 three blade basically a compound bow head. I just ordered some Zwickey Eskilite broadheads 135 im thinking they will be a better choice and certainly more traditional what's everybody's thoughts?

@Grant Richardson I didn’t think you meant when he was hunting. I didn’t mean when I was hunting either. Any time I get my bow down he knows he is going to go and hunt something. Weather. I am roving in the field next to the house or in a big hard wood ridge. Some where,. He even goes musky fishing with me. The only place he doesn’t go is to work with me.

@Grant Richardson My wife and I talk with married couples every once in a while. And I will always use an analogy that goes like this . If you want to see what love is pay attention to your dog. Because a dog can be abused very badly and will always come back and love his master. Augie is like a son to my wife and I. Definitely a best friend.
My draw.
I injured my elbow years ago and it's getting worse and harder to draw my bow. My doctor says it shot. I got two choices replacement or live with it, if I get a replacement won't be able to draw my bow no more so I chose to live with it so my draw length is changing. It went from 26 in draw now to a 22 1/2in draw. I broke arrow so I cut it to 22 in, but is getting too dark shoot. Is there any other things I should do? Arrow grain weight is 468 -470. I've been noticing my arrows kind of wobble at 15 yd still hit good but wobble and I think it's because my draw had shortened now. Open to suggestions.

After seeing your target Grant is right that is good shooting. After what you have been through it shows how much you love the sport. My hats off to you keep it up. A lot of people would have gave up. Good luck.

@Robert Beeler thats okay most day I only shoot. 5 to 10 arrows at different ranges. Byron Ferguson says he only shoots 3 to 5 arrows at a time. But his bow is next to his door so every time he goes out of his house he will shoot 3 to 5 arrows . And over the course of a day that can be a lot shooting. And he shoots a bow for a living. So I tend to listen to guys like that there is a lot to learn from a man like that.
Popped in the head
Anybody else getting popped in the head with acorns? Seems to be a lot of them this year.

@Grant Richardson Wow that’s a lot of corn . I have seen that done in the past around here also. But they can use no more than two gallons of bait no matter what it is. It definitely does change the deers natural movement. The people that are behind me just put out a small amount. Just enough so that the deer come in to their yard so they can see them. They don’t hunt but enjoy seeing the animals. They don’t have anything against hunting they just don’t do it. It seems like every few years there will be a deer show up that test positive for CWD then they will put a baiting and a feeding ban in the county that the animal was found as well as adjacent counties. A few years ago there was a group of guys that purchased a large piece of land and they were having a local feed mill delivering large quantities of corn. And hunting it. Well the DNR found out about it and set up a sting and caught them hunting over the corn. They all got quite large fines and could not hunt on the property the rest of that season.

@Grant Richardson over night success is a driving force behind most anything any more. And in our sport we see it with the crossbow and the baiting. The crossbow as well as the baiting has changed deer hunting. You no longer have to put in hours of practice with your equipment to be confident in making a killing shot. With a crossbow you may take a few shots to make sure that it’s still good. And go hunting. With baiting you are not spending countless hours hiking looking for the perfect spot to get a shot at an animal. No matter what kind of areas you are hunting ag land or big woods to be successful you need to spend time scouting. I think we are going to lose a generation of young hunters because they are not willing to take the time to really study and learn their craft. And this will also translate into other areas of life. After all the reason why I love trad. Bow hunting so much is that challenge of having to figure out how to get in range of the animal to get the shot that I want.
Family
I have been going through and reading the stuff that people are posting. It’s amazing we are centered around traditional bow hunting but there is everything that can be in our lives. And it is shared so everyone can enjoy our thoughts and adventures. I thank you Grant and Jenn setting this up. And the rest of you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. May God bless you all.
