Title: Bird busters work well.
Post by: cowboy on August 27, 2008, 09:25:13 pm

If you can hit the target :). Spent several hours walking the sunflower patches flushing the birdies, probably about 40 to 50 missed opportunities (not by much though) then I finally connected ;D. A flush, a snap shot, a satisfying thump, and puff of feathers - now that's something to tell the grandkids about 8) ;D.

Thanks fallers ;D. Yeah, right madcrow - shoot enough for a meal? Pappy was right - hope you ain't hungry ;D. That was fun and I might actually try it some more, just cause -  but will most likely break out the modern huntin equip for a mess of em ;D.
 Actually, that's darn good practice for aiming small - deer better look out ;).

Thanks Ryan! Those red arra's with the flu-flu fletching really stand out in the weeds, don't think I could loose one if I tried - well prolly could, but they were easy to find :).

Thanks, D! I'm sure I'll have a surplus and will send them your way ::).

Awesome Cowboy, That must have been a very gratifying moment after all the hard work makin' them arras and the bow. Nice job.

It certainly was John. I did a little victory dance out there in that field as soon as I realized what had just happened ;D.

Way to go Paul, nice to be able to go for a walk and get 40 or so shots in a short time :)

I wish partridge were so abundant :(

Way to go Cowboy! As the old Cherokee Indian said in the "Outlaw Josie Wells"..."Endeavor to Persevere!"... ;D   You certainly did that! ;)

Good shooting Cowbow. I hit the first dove I ever shot at with a Remington Auto but haven't hit another since.  ;D  I found out when shooting flying targets(discs) that the more you shoot, the more you hit. So keep it up.      Pat

  Good shooting Paul. Just to get one and said you did it would be fun.

Title: Re: Bird busters work well.
Post by: cowboy on August 28, 2008, 07:30:32 pm

Thanks all. I'm not so sure it was good shooting any more than it was good luck - but I was making most of em duck and dodge there after awhile.
 That's it Eddie - I got one under my belt, so now I can say that I did. That ain't something you see every day :).

Post by: mullet on August 28, 2008, 08:30:23 pm

 That's it! By the way, I work with engineers and they say there is no such thing as luck. ;)

Congrats Cowboy, sounds like lots of fun. Doves have always been about my favorite for hunting and eating. Sounds like there must be plenty.   Kenneth

Title: Re: Bird busters work well.
Post by: cowboy on August 28, 2008, 10:21:02 pm

Their was plenty that particular day Kenneth.  Being migratory they come and go - Like Otoe bow "Mike" said - a target rich environment :).

Ok, now I have no excuse come Sep 1st.  Dove season will be open and you're proof that it can be done.  Great shootin' Cowboy.

Title: Re: Bird busters work well.
Post by: JackCrafty on October 04, 2008, 03:21:58 am

Post by: cracker on October 04, 2008, 09:46:03 am

Hi dude you know if you can even hit a dove you should be merderous on pheasand or grouse.Nice shootin Ronnie

Post by: Sidewinder on October 04, 2008, 02:57:47 pm

Paul, thats fantastic. I like your style.  I have yet to shoot at anything on the wing but it is a goal of mine. Rabbit hunting too. I hope by next year I am set up to give it a go. I think one of the things I will work on this winter is shooting some arial targets just to get sharpened up. I've heard tell of other guys being succesful with it and I kinda figure if they can do it so can I. It just takes practice. Matter fact I may even try and organize a few fellas getting togther next year and give it a go. I would think it would be a blast with more than one person involved.  Danny

Post by: cowboy on October 04, 2008, 06:37:33 pm

Thanks Ronnie, maybe one day I'll give pheasants a try.
 Danny - them things are harder to hit than one might think. You can miss awfully close all day, then when ya connect it kinda throws ya into shock for a second ;D.

I've been told I'm an electric kinda guy.  Can't wait to get shocked...lol  Danny
