  That's not nearly enough space for comfort.  You better be 3+ feet away from me.

Will the round go in the chamber and the bold not close all the way?  I have one that does that and haven't had time to take it to a smith.

Compound?  What's a compound? :)   I grew up with a recurve in hand since I was a wee lad and my four year old is already starting with one.  I did have a compound for a short time to hunt with, but found myself back with the recurve.  It's just more natural for me.  Like some say, compounds are about technique.  With a recurve it's completely instinctive.  It's kind of like riding a bike.  If you have good technique, even if you put the bow down for while, when you pick it back up, you can shoot it.  It's just a natural thing.   Besides lots of practice, there are two things that will help the most: Pick an anchor point Anchor points are a key to consistency.  Don't just pull the bow back and let it fly.  Pick an anchor point on your face.  For me (I'm right handed), my right index finger comes to the corner of my mouth every time.  Every time!  I then take 2-3 seconds to focus on my spot.... See next tip   Always pick a spot on the target, never just launch an arrow at the target. Before you even draw your bow, pick a specific spot on the target and focus on it.  Don't look at the entire target, get down to the micro level.  If you're shooting bullseye, focus on the X in the bullseye.  If you're shooting a deer, pick a hair in the pocket.  If you learn to pick that spot, you will consistently shoot tighter groups.  You might not stack them side-by-side, but you'll find you can quickly start shooting pie plate groups.   I do have to put in a plug for my good friend Ron Pittsley with Hunters Niche.  You will find the Predator available from Cabela's and 3 Rivers Archery, or you can view his custom designs on the website.  Ron has been focused on design for many years and has the best combination of performance and traditional lines.  In my opinion, the only recurve you should buy.   http://www.huntersniche.com/   He also has a few shooting videos.  Goofy yes, but good material. 

OK, then I won't post my new Para Black Ops :)

I pulled this one out of the safe yesterday and took it to the range. I picked it up just before DW sold to CZ. The DW Guardian is an excellent carry piece, not to mention it shoots excellent.

  NEVER trust the website.

  It's all I do.  Trout, bass, carp, gar, gills, whatever bites.

LOL!

  That sucks!  When is it going back to $20?

  Can you imagine what would happen if you sent your kid to school with a Glock lunchbox?

  Yeah, so is the filet knife in the door of my truck.  But the reality is if I don't keep it in the truck I will forget it when I go fishing. 

That thing has to be bent from one end to the other.  Totaled.  Can't even sell the seats because of the $h#^ stains.

Nashville, Dickerson Pike - the worst I've seen.  It was almost completely empty.  About 12 boxes of misc shotgun shells, 4 boxes of .45 zombie, 2 boxes .308 zombie, and about 12 boxes of .17 hmr.   No 9mm, 45, 32, 22, 38, nothing.  Dust bunnies on the shelves.

CZ all the way.

  The photo looks pretty fake to me.

Yeah, not a good thing to do.  It only takes one shot and you'll have tinnitus for the rest of your life.

Congrats!

Why does my son have to rip the covers off the good magazines? I'm sure my wife has a few Good Housekeeping or People magazines that warrant such blatant disrespect!

I'm sure one of our resident experts will step in, but if you read 39-17-1321(b), it states both conditions must be met, which means you have to be in a place that serves alcohol AND you are consuming.   no gun buster + you no drink = ok to conceal carry

I used to live in KY and we always went to Whitakers. Hit up some Moonlight BBQ and then go to the gun shop.

I fondled one of these at the last show and liked the feel of it.  Let us know how you like it after taking it to the range.

I wasn't surprised when I saw the video.  You get what you pay for.  After watching the videos and doing more reading on the internet, I ended up with two Gunvault "safes".  No, these aren't safes to protect my valuables, they are safes to keep my kiddos away from my home protection pieces.  It also allows me to get my night defense pistol at the bedside rather than the tall top shelf of a closet that I'm going to have a hard time getting to in a panic situation.   And if I ever find one of the kids messing with the safe or trying to peel the finger pads off like they showed how to break in..... you better believe someone is getting their @ $ $ blistered.

I took the first step to solving my problem. Thanks to The Safe House.

  I don't think I could shoot anything that remotely reminds me of Honey Boo Boo. :yuck:

  Don't worry, the addiction only gets worse.  :)
