Where you taking your rabbits? I was thinking of putting a couple in the freezer and haven't seen any for some time.

We are in the Wainwright area...you have to look for a place that has good tracks or it may be slow ..where there is good track there seems to be tons..

We are using Judo points for minimal arrow loss

I just got back from a round of 3-D with my dog. Light shirt and a light vest, although you could have got bye with a long sleeved T-shirt. But I live on Van. Is in Comox and we shoot pretty much year round outside.
Sorry don't mean to rub it in. Cheers Roscoe

I started with the bow last year. Got a new bow from Jimbows last week. Just set up this little range in my basement this afternoon. 17yards. Good enough to practice and watch some wild tv. The target is compressed ceiling tiles about 4' x 4' x 2'deep.

cosmocreeper06 · #15 02-21-2013, 06:39 PM

Must be a singles pad. A rental at that. One nice archery lane. Shooting from the garage past the main entrance, through the basement door to the back wall. Big block in place and the guys fling both broad heads and field points. Keeps thing going year round.
The only out door part arrives when the garage door opens. To early for that.

Lefty-Canuck · #16 02-21-2013, 07:32 PM

Was shooting tonight out to 50 yards outside....a little chilly and had to trump through the snow but was nice to get dialled in with the new bow out to 50.

YoteStopper · #17 02-21-2013, 10:02 PM

Yup, got out this afternoon and shot a bit with my PSE.....have not come across any gophers yet though

SmokinJoe · #18 02-21-2013, 11:03 PM

I shoot out of the house and into the yard, but moving to the new place in a couple months, gonna have a 20 yard range in the basement, and have been thinking about setting up a 50 yard covered range with a returning target from the French doors in my man cave, right beside the golf simulator, and bow tuning station..... Already cleared it with the mrs.... Good thing she shoots and golfs too.

David...Pending on the area its close..some areas wiped out already while others pick up...check for blisters on skin anywhere and liver for spots...

If you see either dispose of them ..recycle back to the wild but dont feed them to dog or cats as blisters are ringworm..
