I'm busy fletching arrows....what are your weekend plans?

Well, I am working on some walleye and baked taters, then I think I might take the kids to see the big bucks in the fenced in, no hunting area of the suburbs.

Saturday I have a 3D shoot to run all day, and Sunday will be repairing one of my ladder stands for Oct. 1st opener.

 

Saturday AM its a quick trip out to Cabelas (stupid buddy had to wait till last minute huh!)

Saturday Afternoon I'll probably do some shooting, go put out some more tacks so I don't get lost next weekend and then relax

Sunday AM I may hit a local 3dshoot depending on if I'm feeling lazy or not and then in the afternoon a nice 2 or 3 mile hike with the kid on my back and do some long range scouting for second and third spots.

 

Will leave the house at 4am :Cry: ..in my tree stand at 5am and hoping to see something to shoot at...6am .Have to be back home by 11 to go to a hog in the ground roast:hungry: at 1 and will probably be home around 7 wishing i hadn't ate so much .

 

well record I'm taking my oldest out this weekend for the youth hunt. Then setting up my new green x-7. If it comes in that is... So, you bored at A/T? or just sick of the BS!!!:laugh:

 

Who knows....he might find out how much fun it is over here and decide to stay.:decision:

 

Well.... Right now I am fletching up my hunting arrows.. Got to love the arizona EZ fletch. Tomorrow I am hanging a stand then in the afternoon we will be going to some stupid festival and Sunday we will be celebrating my daughters fifth birthday.

 

Working now....

3d Sat. at Cameron's place, Sunday, Wrist slings and the Lions game, then just hang out with the Wife and Daughter. :usa:

 

HHHMMMM, I thought you would be hepling me put some new tree steps on the stand I WAS going to put you in on Sunday morning.....:attention:

 

I would live too, but I'm afraid to ask the warden for more time in the yard. :lol:

Ben

 

That's ok. We will get ya fixed up.:rockon:

 

When I fletch I put on a ball game (Cubs win !) and have a beer or two while I'm at it.

Ron

 

A beer or two always makes things more fun...fletching...taxes...funerals...:laugh:

Seriously, I like fletching, but I do about 4 dozen arrows a year. :usa:

Ben

 

So you sit there and shoot 48 arrows a time at a target? I'm all about accuracy by volume but :censored: thats overkill!

 

That's why I'll never be a champion anything! :lol:

Ben

 

Your right.
I bought a grain scale earlier this year and it's amazing the difference in the arrow weight. I really could not believe it....

So, what is the best way of building an arrow so they are all around the same weight (+-10 grains) ?

I have a about a 15 grain difference between my heaviest and lightest target arrow... That seems like a lot to me.

Ron

 

Let's see here......I am trying to round up enough people to work the fair booth for our archery club next week, trying to find a place to live, cleaning the house, packing, Sunday I am going to the 900 round shoot eace: and regular mom stuff to fill in the rest of my hours.
