I'm back to the wheelie thing :shock: Not enough time to practice with the ol Recurve. Funny thing is, a few weeks ago while working with the kids from Cross Trails Outfitters at The Bowzone, I flung some arrows with my recurve for the first time in well over a year and was stacking them in real tight at 20 yards! I mean 3 inch groups consistently! Maybe since I was just grippin and rippin and not 'thinking' about it was the ticket?
Though I do console myself with shooting my compound in that it is an O L D Carroll-Marauder with energy wheels, single 20 yard O L D fiber optic pin and not too much faster then my recurve :roll: I am getting about 182 fps out of the TQ Longhorn and about 212 out of the Marauder...definetly not a barn burner...LOL.
Congrats again and yeppers...ya got to hold real low and tight on them piggies. Their lungs are way forward and their heart is only and inch above the chest. Ya either get it or ya miss it. Like ya found out..ya shoot center mass and you spine em...not a bad thing either....ask Tomme as that is almost all he gets on his 8) . Except his first trad hog that he shot right through the heart. I know as I helped drag that damn thing a few hundred yards in 100 degree heat in August at Brushy Hill :shock:
