I live here in Santa Fe its 7000,,,I will do stump shooting on the mountain, at 11,000 to get in shape,,

I can shoot bull or cow,, I would like say out to 25 yards is a good range,,

this is from this morning practice at 10 yards,, I backed up to 19 to put some pressure on some friends yesterday, and got lucky and hit the cap,,

 Im gonna shoot a simmons 165 grain or ziwickey  two blade,, total arrow weight 600 to 700 grains depending on the shaft I use,, spruce or maple,,

I mostly shoot one arrow at a time, but sometimes if my time is limited I will shoot several at a time to stay in shape,,

Im hoping for a good close shot,,Im old and patient,,so I just enjoy the whole process,, getting in shape and practice shooting for the hunt,, I can get a bear tag,, too, and turkey tag,, so its exciting,,

Im just happy my shooting is going well and Im keeping the pressure on the younger guys to work hard on their shooting,,
 

an osage self bow will handle any low humidity,, Im in high desert,,

if you think your climite is really harsh, then just get or make one a bit overbuilt,, it will handle it,, I would make one for you with life time gaurentee but Im having too much fun shooting,, :D

One thing Brad is forgetting to tell you is, he's a great shot. He puts the pressure on everyday we shoot. He's a great inspiration. I will be hunting with my self bow also. Brad and I started this competition around the first of February. His daily pressure has made me a better shot. Its easy to see the transformation in my shooting since the first day.
My goal is to always hit the cap but I'm happy when I shoot my first shot within a couple inches of the cap. By September 1st we'll be ready for the elk, turkey, bear, grouse, and more stumps. I keep telling Brad we have to quit stump shooting long enough to find the elk.
Good luck to everyone on your practice and hunts.

Brad does seem like the type that would be too modest to tell you he is a great shot, "if I can hit the bottle cap anyone can. Oh this necklace I'm wearing, that's my Olympic gold archery medal."

Have you looked at the Tusker broadheads?  If I can't get my homemade broadheads to work I'm eyeballing their Concord model.  Priced pretty good at 6 for $25.

Brad,  you guys should come up to Los Alamos and shoot some 3D with us.  Every Wed night at the Sportsman Club about 5 pm through the summer.  $5 per night or $40 for the season.
