  1. Here's my conclusion. Solid rifle, good feel, very accurate. Pros: I was only using a single shooting stick so bench reaults should be better. Started at 100 yds and had a 2",group at 5". high to start. Made some adjustments. Shots 1-2 were at 100 yds. Shots 3-4 were "shooter error". I ended up moving to 150 yards and broke a stick to give me a cross support and ended up with 1.5" group.(shots 5,6, and 7) I was pleased for "free hand" shooting without a bench. Cons : have to make sure bullets are moved all the way back in the magazine or they won't load correctly. There is a little play in it. Once you do it there are no problems ( more human error than gun) And last is the scope. It will work but its not the best. Obviously for the price it isn't top notch. Overall very pleased with comfort, feel, trigger, and accuracy. I would recommend to someone looking for a dependable rifle at a good price. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. Just picked one up this morning. I will let you know my review shortly. Read good things online about it Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. Same for me. Last 5 days only deer I've seen come out after 5 each night at opposite end of field. No daytime movement Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. Just inside the hardwoods on a pinch point for me tonight... Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. Last night I was able to harvest a buck at 430pm. Placed a good shot (heart) and it watched it drop within 30 yards. Had it gutted and dragged out by 510pm. Checked my trail cam tonight and a pack of yotes showed up at 515 pm. It doesn't take them long.....I'm just glad I was gone before they got there Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. What do you like for calls ? (estrus can, grunt call, etc). I usually use the estrus can first thing when I get in my stand and settled then sparotically through the rest of the day. I will ocasionally add some grunt calls at the end to mix it up. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  7. I'm with you. Things have been REAL slow for me. After a long drought of not seeing a deer I finally managed to get a shot off at an 8 tonight. 25 yards slightly quartering away. He ducked and I watched the lighted noc fly right over his back. Then sat and watched it "stare" at me for the next 1.5 hours.Congrats to everyone who has taken bucks this week. This thread helps me get through the long sits with no action Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. Congrats. Can't wait to see the pics Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. Also look into NY state parks many offer bow hunting. Just need to call for permit Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. I checked my trail cams today. Was literally in and out in 15 minutes and didn't go through any thick stuff. Now I'm sitting in urgent care with two ticks fully embedded and cannot get them out. Be careful out there Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. Awesome Congrats !! Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. They are bad this year. I live/hunt in Oswego county (just 2 miles north of Onondaga county line) and it's probably one of the worst years I've seen. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. This is a lot like salmon fishing. Things are heating up out west and im waiting for the push east. I'm in Oswego county and things are really just beginning with a little sign here and there. Nothing really heavy yet. Bucks really showing little interest in the does. Very few scrapes. Etc. At least this thread helps me pass the time in the stand as i watch the squirrels Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. These were used on a compound. I threw away the original Montec package. The picture on the package is the Striker broadhead. I just re-used the packaging Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  16. TTT Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  17. i hunt Wayne county and have more sucess with the Estrus Can and grunt calling than rattling. i have very limited sucess with rattling there. I also hunt oswego county and have better sucess there rattling than in Wayne county could just be the areas i hunt.......
  18. Picked up a set of G5 Montec broadheads yesterday to try. They did not work for my setup. Each one was only shot twice into a broadhead target. Extremely sharp. Asking $30.00 shipped
  19. Went out today and picked up a package of G5 Strikers cause thats just what the store had in stock. Flew straight as an arrow (pun intended). Was able to get a decent group at 30 yards with no bow tuning. Thanks for all the help and advice. Good luck everyone with the remainder of the season. 'Bout Time Mike
  20. What slick tricks are you guys using Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. i just recently switched from Rage 2 blades to G5 Montec fixed blades. With the Rage my arrows flew pretty damn straight (really close to field tips). the G5s have caused my arrow to have a corkscrew (spiral) flight pattern. they are the same weight - 100g and im using the same arrow shafts. i have aligned the blades to match my fletchings. i am shooting a Hoyt 28.5" draw @ 65 lbs. Arrows are Carbon Express 400g @ 30" with Quick Spin fletchings. My groups arent terrible 2-3" @ 20 yds but not as good as the expandables. I would like to get away from expandables and use the fixed blades Any help would be appreciated.
  22. Awesome story Brian. Probably not as awesome when it was happening though. I've had a pack follow.me.to my stand before....not a good feeling
  23. I have 2 doe that are identical to that. There are close to a dozen total and for whatever reason just these two have ribs showing and are thin
  24. The tension is factory set to 20lbs. Depending on boat size and weight you may need to adjust it to work properly. I run a 25' trophy at at almost 5000 lbs I had to tighten the set screw slightly for it to work. Just use 1/4 turns and check after adjustment 'Bout Time Mike
  25. Trailer found. Thanks to all
