RE: 31-Team Drop Tine Bombers
Thanks DWD2001.I hope you get that work taken care of by the time your season starts. Gotta love bare shaft results like that.
I might just try those Axis next time around. I like how you have both of your bows set up near the same, oddly enough my Tribute has a Drop zone & Patriot a shakey hunter.
You are shooting 28" arrows, what is your draw length?
24/7, I've heard a lot of good results from the Hammerheads and two guys that I have a lot of respect for in my states archery circles use them. Have you had a chance to see how well they work?
I always thought the stricknine would be one mean head for someone shooting 125's.
OkieA, your set up sure will getter done. Have you purchased the heads yet or still tossing as coin on which to hunt with? Those new Mx-4's from Muzzy would be my choice. I almost grabbed a pack at the shop a couple of weeks ago, but I have too many unused heads already. I hope our exploding pig population takes care of that some. Nothing wrong with the G-5's, I just prefer the hole a 4 blade head opens up.
I looked a round a little and didn't see a definition of what is expected or required of the team Captain.
I don't want to step on any toes, but seeing how time is running out (season ishere in some places) I guess I will go ahead and place my name in the slot for it. If anyone else wants it, let me know.

RE: 31-Team Drop Tine Bombers
Hey guys a little update on my seaso. hunted behind my house this morning. took about 15 minutes to walk 300 yards so i didnt spook any deer. i hunted in a ground blind i made last night.it was just getting to where i could see my sight pins and i was finishing setting up. IUt was a nice calm morning. I reach to grab an arrow and i hear a deer snort about 20 yards behind me. I look around and see a doe running away. Had i been in a tree or been setup a little earlier, i might have got her. Oh well, its only opening day.
DaveC - I have seen how the hammerheads work. my dad has used them for a long time and has killed lots of deer with them. His buddy also used them last year. they swear by them. The deer he shoots with that 2" dia. have easy to follow blood trails, thats for sure.
Well, i saw 12 deer around home last night and i would hunt there but the weather is supposed to be bad here so we are going up north to my dad's friend's cabin and 200 acres. Hopefully ill have some action up there. we usually do. its probably the last time we'll be going there since he is selling it to buy some other land. good luck guys.

DaveC - Happy belated B'day and congratulations on Team Captain status
I think the main job for captains is communication, and you're probably online as much or more than the rest of us so "you da man!"
I gotta get me some 340s! [:@]

Thanks for the support guys!
Trying to make me older sooner? I was born on the23rd of December[8D].
I work 4 on 4 off 12 hr shifts and spend a lot of the 4-on checking in around my daily task.
I'm not avatar savy.
Trembow, if you don't have the time or feel like messing with the 340's this close to seasonI can tell you from experience the 400's will work IF you switch to stingers. (assuming the 400's shoot a field point just fine)
My neighbor ran into this same scenario last year when his phantoms were shooting off center due to a weak spine of his 400's. When he shot his stingers they were on,the phantoms are an overall larger head and grab more wind requiring a more perfect spine (no side to side on the way down range).
I have nothing against the phantoms and have used them in the past; in fact my avatar buck was phantomized. BUT they are touchier to tune. The stingers on the other hand are very forgiving.
Just thought I'd throw a cheaper option your way.

Hey guys, congrats DaveC on your newly acquired position. I've been working a tiny bit on the avatar, I'm trying to incorporate the mushroom cloud that one of you guys proposed at the beginning. Had a buddy get married this weekend and I'm trying to get all my construction projects "ahead" before deer season gets here. I'll try to have one knocked out by the end of the week. These are the worst to weeks of my life.... AHhhhhhhh

Alright guys, I know this isn't the prettiest thing we've ever seen but it'll work for now. If anyone wants to make a cooler one, please do, you won't hurt my feelings at all.

DWD2001, I like the looks of it and saved it.
Not trying to be picky but just want to ask if it would be feasible to make the names large enough to read once it is in the avatar?
Looking at your avatar there looks to be enough space in the white to fill in with the names in a larger font.
Irealize you're a busy man, so don't take the above as a begger being chooser thing, just wondering if it's doable.
24/7 hunter, sorryI didn't post about your hunt before. Almost sounds to me like she heard you come in and crept up to see what the comotion was about[8D], pesky does!! good luck on your next hunts!
