Bowhunting Tips from a Professional
Do you know what it takes to safely enjoy the sport of bowhunting? Join Bass Pro Shops Pro Staff member Dena Kana on Dec. 8 in our Hunting dept. An active member of Lone Star Bowhunters Association and an International Bowhunter Education Program Instructor, Dena is an avid bowhunter with years of experience and through her knowledge, you can become a better archer.

Learn about bowhunting safety  your responsibilities in the field, ethics, rules and regulations. Find out how to choose the proper equipment, the importance of razor sharp broadheads, shot placement and distance judging.

Dena can advise you on how to plan your hunt and hunt your plan.

Bring your questions to Dena from 11:00 am  3:00 pm. in our hunting department. Her expertise will help build your confidence in the field.

[txhunter]

That is awesome.

[Trailboss]

Dena was already my hero! Congrats Dena.

Can I have your autograph!:jump:

[Hot4huntin]

:o Thanks guys! Come out and talk bowhunting! Hope to see y'all there!

Bobster is already working on his list of questions for me! :rolleyes:
It should be interesting to say the least! :eek:

I am very fortunate to be part of the Bass Pro Shop Pro Staff. I hope that I can influence more women, families and children to become involved in bowhunting!

[Ronny]

I knew she would make it big time:congrats:

[Bill M]

Congrats Dena!

[wassaw]

Congratulations on the BPS Pro Staff slot, about time they wised up!

does this mean you took the Dale Carnigie "learn to overcome your fears of speaking to large groups" course?? LOL

Thanks for continueing to be the tip of the arrow for bowhunters and educating thousands of it's values and rewards!

[BrandonH]

Dena's finally making it big. I'll have to make it a point to come up with some very interesting questions...heck I could even pass some of them out at the door so I wouldn't have to ask them all myself:)

-Brandon

[BUFF]

:cheese:Way to go Dena

[Hot4huntin]

Thanks again! It is really not that big of a deal!! I just feel honored to have been asked and hope that I can make a difference in bowhunting and with BPS. I guess they figured if I was going to be in the store all the time, they should put me to work. :D

No, Steve, I haven't over come that fear yet, but I'm learning pretty quickly. As long as I can walk around the archery department and talk to folks and answer questions, I'm okay. Put me on a stage to do a seminar and I have a panic attack. :)

Brandon, won't you be working or hunting that weekend?? I think Bobby has a group of hecklers that he is planning on bringing out.

If enough hecklers show up, maybe we can plan an LSBA Get Together afterwards. :D

[Bowwiz]

Kudo's to the hardest working woman in the LSBA!

[txhunter]

What BPS is this gonna be at? The one in Katy?

[Hot4huntin]

Yes, it will be at the Katy store.

[BOBSTER]

:jump:I have my list of question started already, some are about the types of arrows that you use and some on broadheads.:whistle: Just giving you a little notice so that you can start preparing. :muscle: Bob

[Hot4huntin]

:blahblah:

[Bullrdr82]

Dena - Given up on talkin about hunting from a ground blind already??

I will do my best to get out there and join the group of hecklers..... you know I am good at that!!!

[BrandonH]

If anyone would like a list of challenging tech questions feel free to send me a PM and I'll send them your way:) Dena said last night that she is going to teach everyone how to tune there bow, build bowstrings, make cedar arrows, and time permitting even build a self-bow in about an hour:)

[Tomme]

I knew her when she was one of the little people(....er....still is).


Congratulations Ms. Pro Staffer. You really rock.

[Chew]

Congrats Dena. I'm proud of you and happy for you.

[Hot4huntin]

Thanks Chew!!

Bullrdr, I did my ground blind gig! Albeit not on stage, but from the ground blind section.

BrandonH, you forgot the topic of "how to hide a body so no one can find it!!!" :banned: I don't think tech stuff is on my agenda. In fact, I know it is not! Now, where is the disabling button for PMs...:jump:

In real tissues, outcome-data manifestly exhibits …
While impact momentum cannot be used as a stand-alone
predictor of penetration it does show positive correlation
with outcome penetration; it demonstrates relevancy. This
means impact momentum can be used as a predictive function
when all other arrow penetration factors are constant.
With a constant arrow, real tissue data confirms: Average
tissue penetration increase is directly proportional to the
increase in impact momentum. Several instances of this have
been presented in Updates, and yet another will be showing up
in the new Updates.
Among actual outcomes, kinetic energy has failed to show
positive correlation with tissue penetration. It is not useful
as either predictor or predictive function.
On casual observation it might appear that kinetic energy
should be applicable. After all, a substantial portion of it
is represented by the arrow's velocity, and arrow velocity is
a contributive component to momentum. However, any direct
kinetic energy application overlooks important factors: (1)
the disproportional increase in penetration-resistance
actually exhibited by tissues as velocity increases; (2) the
mechanics of the impulse of force during penetration and; (3)
the fact that, by its very definition, kinetic energy cannot
be used as either a measure or indicator of force.
It is due to disproportional resistance increase and
impulse mechanics that the penetration/kinetic-energy
relationship steadfastly exhibits decrement during tissue
testing. The penetration-increase to kinetic-energy-increase
ratio is not proportional.
Decrement should not be confused with a negative
correlation. It simply indicates that the rate of penetrationincrease
constantly decreases as impact kinetic energy
increases. With a constant arrow,will the percentage of
penetration gain become smaller?

I have always wondered and didn't know who to ask.

[txhunter]

hmmmm... :think: so that's the answer.

In real tissues, outcome-data manifestly exhibits …


I didn't think it manifestly exbibited... :michael:

[Hot4huntin]

Buff, thanks for asking.

In response to your question~

Yes, with a constant arrow, the percentage of penetration gain becomes smaller each time impact kinetic energy is increased by a set amount.








P.S. I read Dr. Ed Ashby also. :)

Dena, :think:I still want to know which arrow is better, the XX75s Gametamers or the Easton XX75 Gamegetters. Also, which broadhead would be better, Hell Raiser from Thunderhead, or the Hell Razor that NAP makes? :ouch:Bob

[Hot4huntin]

:fencing:

I still would like to know, which is more comfortable, the couch or the guest bed? :D

OUCH!!!!!!! :bedtime::chatterbox:

[BOBSTER]

:grandpa:It really doesn't matter anymore, I have been on both for so long now.:( Bob

[timhicks]

Dena congrats!! I remember when I was asked to be pro staff and writer for another outdoor magazine..I was pumped..still am but them darn editors...sure take my long story and make it short?? Congrats and proud for you

[Horitexan]

Congratulations Dena!

[Pick A Spot]

Congratulations. A win win situation.
