good rabbit terrain
ballista:
souds good, thanks again man. would you add any weight to the .38 special cases? I stumbled over something that said about melting lead bb's into them, dunno though. every time I go roaving, I look for some red osier- still no luck, unfortunatley. I'm actually going to order enough supplies for a good dozen arrows, the feld ponts I have are glued on.. but I have a bad feeling about blunts, i think i might make my own style for rabbit and squirrel, that still penetraits, with similar springs to the judo. thanks again guys, jimmy.

i stalk the windbreaks in sticker bushes. The rabbits in NY like it thick. You have to spot em, find your best hole, and punch an arrow thoruhg it. you wouold be amazed at the stuff you can get thorugh, and be amazed at the stuff you can't, lol. I like to use flu flu's for brush hunting because they show up better with big bright feathers.

Back Home it's a good Cedar Swamp with plenty of Hidey Holes...........down here it is Windbreaks.....Fencerows.....Brush Piles and any standing Irrigation Pipe piles...they love the stuff!!
ballista:
aha! see, i was thinking fencerows also- I was driving past a small feild about 4 miles from my house, looked like great terrain, the houses were purdy close though, gotta watch out. I have a beagle too, you never know! ;D anaways, I had one in my backyard eating the rabbit food that spilled under my rabbits cage- thats the second rabbit i've seen in my life back there- I wasn't going to shoot it at first, but then i though about how good it would be with some onions, so I grabbed my longbow-(not the laminated one, the good old 42 pound hickory!) and loosed a feild point, about a centimeter high..... I think it doged it! It was anly about 17 or 18 feet away, so afterwards I was shooting close range, I was way off- a good four inches high, a little to the left, consistantly. so, thats my rabbit experience reccently, any of you have a similar aiming problem? I didn't have an arrow rest, so it's not like it was uneven or anything. thanks -jimmy
JackCrafty:
Yep, I used to have that aiming problem until I started shooting targets (practice) at 17 & 18 feet way. ;)
Also, you might not be drawing the arrow all the way back to your usual draw length. That happens when you get exited and rush the shot. If you don't draw the arrow back far enough, it will act like it's too stiff.
