Yup, finally
Got the trusty ol' Switchback all tuned up and ready to rock and roll for deer season. Rest is tuned, string re-served, new D-loop, new arrows cut, fletched with Blazers and wearing Muzzy Thunderhead XP 100s on the business end. Gonna sight it in today. I was originally going to only sight it on 10 yard increments, but I switched to a heavier, slower arrow so I don't know if that's going to work; probably going to toss the 5 yards in there as well. Arrows are 9.5gpi, 27" = 256.5gr, pus broadheads is 356.5, plus 2.5gr/ea for vanes is...364, nock is another 4...so 369 and the wrap is about 8...so I'm shooting 377 gr. arrows, at a 26" draw and 60#. I haven't chrono'ed it yet, but I'm sure it's dog slow compared to my hold Hoyt, which was launching 350gr arrows @ 70# and 27.5". Should have good kinetic energy though, I guess we'll (hopefully) see in a couple of days.
Bow hunters...or deer hunters in general...anyone put meat on the table yet this season? I'm *praying* for a deer this season to cut down on my living expenses at school. I've eaten tag-soup for the last 3 years, so maybe this is the year. Not going to be as selective...doe? Fine by me! This isn't me, it's the guy I hunt with; he got it off a piece of the farm I work at:
