Reading some of the tuning pages got my head spinning but I'm reading it all on my cell phone and scrolling left right up down haha. I'm gonna re read everything today at work on a computer screen and where it is quiet.

Ok so I've come to a tough situation at least for me with my boys. As many of ya know I'm a single father raising my boys and been doing a d**n good job if I say so my self...... However tonight my 4 year old had a break down. He was freaking out not wanting to stay in his bunk bed or sleep in his room alone tonight. He kept insisting he was scared and pointing at the floor and closet. I asked him if ya know he's afraid of a monster in his closet he said "no the closet is fine I hear noises" I told him its just the cat playing and he insisted its not that. I then told him he just hears me getting up in the night to use te bathroom again he insisted no its not that he knows them sound its "just different". Now this is wear I'm for a loss as I show no sympathy I'm a tough love type parent a lot of " suck it up, walk it off, oh your fine" out of my mouth lol so I'm a little lost my little man is legit scared to sleep alone in this new apt and I'm just telling him "suck it up and sleep its nothing that will hurt you". As tough as I tried to be I still caved and he is in bed laying next to me right at this moment with his boney little knee in my side. I don't know what to do my two year old I give him milk lay him in the bottom bunk he drinks his milk sets the cut on the floor and passes out. My oldest is terrified I've tried letting him lay with me and move him but it lasts about 10 minutes and he's back in bed with me. I've tried staying in there with him till e sleeps but that doesn't work now either plus I'm afraid of breaking the bunk with my fat arse up there. What should I do

I might be able to take the bow to the armory with me and shoot it on te drill hall floor we were last week so I don't see the issue. If its ok with them then I will take it and shoot it there and I will have a buddy video tape it on my phone and I'll up load it at the earliest Wednesday. I kinda want to try another broad head and see if they fly true but I've got 8 dollars to my name till next Wednesday so that's out lol same with trying new vanes bad part is at that point I will be on orders 3 hours from home staying out of a hotel.

These heads are supposed to fly like field points I've emailed the company an they have been helpful to an extent they said to make sure the bow is 100% perfectly tuned because of the design of the head any slight imperfection in the set up or shooting form will be amplified by the design of the head. I don't have much time with the mission I took on with the guard to get this sorted I may end up taking the bow with me and finding a good shop out in Rome, ny to help with tuning and setting up. Most the reports on archery talk of people actually using these heads say they hit right on the money even posting pics of hog kills and an elk kill. The ones with problems all say that they switched vanes and corrected the issue and the emails I received from the company state the same to maybe go to bigger straighter fletchings. I might try a 4" blazer on a few and see how it shoots mine are 2". The two sgts at the armory who put me on these heads say they opened the pack shot and it was same POI as the field tips.

This is what I want I hate having two poi after 2 shots I knew where to aim for Kentucky windage but I'd rather not have to.

I also forgot to ask. If the broad heads shoot that out of whack from the field tips like always high to the right would I just add a pin for the BH because I don't want to keep re zeroing every season because I switch to field tips in the off season

What my 4 year old is. The littler bugger fell asleep behind me on the couch and my 2 year old fell asleep on top of me and last time I checked I am not a bed lol. I just bought them new bunk beds to make more room in their bed room and let me tell ya it is no easy feat putting a sleeping 4 year old in the top bunk lol.

Ill have to wait till tomorrow to watch the link at work my service is the worst here in my apt. The T3 is great my best friend swears by them but they are illegal in NY he hunts them in PA and rage 2 blade or montecs in NY. I've only been shooting one toxic head saving 2 for hunting so idk te group I'm shooting with BHs the groups I'm stating are with field tips. If I get the one I'm shooting to hit like they claim they will I will order some replacement blades and shoot the others just to see how they group. I was impressed with them on the block other then completely destroying the block lol. They got about 6" more penetration then the field tips almost complete pass threw at 30yds on a block. I'm probably gonna take a trip to the bow shop this week ad hope he has it done in time for deer season it took him 3 weeks back in April I can just imagine he is swamped now. I will be out of town till sept 15 season opens oct 1

I group tight its not like I'm throwing fliers or anything it's been doing it I just noticed it a little more today.

Ok bow nuts I got some questions. I spent a bunch of time shooting today because I'm not gonna get a chance to shoot but maybe 2 weeks before bow season after this week due to some prior obligations made to the army. Anyways I noticed a few things. 1. My arrows seem to cork screw at least it looks that way from the shooters stand point watching my arrows fly down range. Now idk if this is something that needs to be fixed or what because I hit vitals from 10 out to 60 yards I've been shooting out to. Obviously my groups are tighter the closer I am. From 10-30 yards I can put them in a nickel sized group at 40 it's maybe 1" 50 and 60 it's between 3 and 4" all pretty good I think. I'm not sure if this would all for it to be paper tuned? I'm not even sure what paper tuning even is. 2. I got the bow brand new after having all the accessories put on it the guy at the shop said to bring it back to be tightened up. Do I need to do this or is it safe to keep shooting? 3. The new broad heads I got are advertised to shoot same as field points but the DO NOT not even close. Now I've heard just searching other forums about these heads that they don't shoot we'll out of some helical fletchings and I have the small helical blazer vanes. I'm going to call the company tomorrow and see what they say about it I've heard they have an excellent customer service. 4. I CAN'T WAIT TILL OCTOBER 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice that's my goal this year is to use the gun as little as possible I'm gonna go for a Orleans county grand slam with my buddy. We made it up but we gotta get a buck, doe, Tom, squirrel, raccoon, fox, coyote all with our bow in one season. Gonna be d**n near impossible due to the coyote on the list lol

I've wanted one forever never got one though

I do more fox hunting then deer hunting but now that I'm getting back into bow hunting I can see it switching slightly. We gotta wait till oct 1 for deer I'm growing anxious to try out them new toxic broad heads

Lol no can't wear long sleeves or even the skin toned cover sleeves they must be removed. It's all gonna come down to the test and where I stand against everyone else in the state if its looking good and I'm gonna get hired on they get removed, if I'm low and not very likely then well maybe ill take the corrections test or try a local agency

Only fox I got this year and it was mangy

I could go county or town sheriff or even corrections officer and keep them. The counties and towns are so small out here we only have like seriously 5 sheriffs for the county and most towns don have there own force. It's extremely hard to get into our county is all young new guys out Of the academy so have to wait for one to leave or retire and who knows when that is.

All but them two are hidden in shorts and a t shirt. I have 10 all together so 8 are hidden I never got any below the elbow or neck for that reason as some jobs don't want them. At the time I got te two on my forearms I had just graduated with my ASE master tech certs from tech school and had been turning wrenches for 7 years ad thought that's what I would do with my life. A year later I hated working on cars absolutely despised it and still do joined the army at that point. The people with chest plate tattoos like you mentioned I think is a bit ridiculous I mean don't wear a v neck shirt bam problem solved I have two eagles on my chest and you would never know it unless I take my shirt off or wear a tank top.

I didn't get out for deer this past season due to the deployment but I did whack a few varmin with the .17 and foxpro call And my hunting partner my 4year old (3 in the pic)

You should see how little we make when in Afghanistan/Iraq well any deployment area.

Yeah I wasn't doing it for the money I didn't even have that figure till meeting with a recruiter and saying I didn't want to get tattoos removed. I'm looking at it as I've always wanted to get into law enforcement but was always intimidated by it and never really pursued it. I like serving people I've reenlisted in the army national guard for another 6 years and plan on doing my 20 years to retire. I'm already locked in the state pension at tier 3 it's on like 5 now so it's another retirement at the higher rate then anyone getting a state job now for the first time. I've realized I really don't want to be on the roof roofing. Yeah the money is great when the weather cooperates but it's to unstable. I think this will finally be what I settle and do with my life I've always wanted to be a cop/sheriff/trooper.

That's what I always figured as well is numbers like that but that's lower then state corrections even and I have family in corrections. 2 good buddies in the troopers as well as some guys in the guard I deployed with all make great money lowest paid of the guys I personally know is the one retired. From what I've been hearing NYS is bringing on upwards of 2000 new troopers. I'm not expecting to start off at 100k I was thinking that's more at the end of career spectrum after 20 years.

Yeah I heard its a nasty painful process

That's what I need removed. I wanted to expand and get sleeves done this winter but a rewarding career and killer retirement are a bit more important I think. I know 2 troopers who are hunting/fishin buddies one is only 43 retired already making 77k on retirement! Ill take that lol

Thanks, this will be the only test I think I've ever studied for lol

So I've decided on a new career path and think I will finally be happy with this choice. I've registered for the civil service test to become a NYS trooper. Test is in October I've been studying away so I can crush the test. Problem is not allowed any tattoos below the elbow I have 2.......the reqruiter I talked to suggested a plastic surgeon for it it will cost 1000-2500 to have if removed over a period I time. E said not to bother till I take the test and know where I stand. The way he put it " may sound like a lot now but average salary for a trooper is 100k just get it some where else" so that's what I'm gonna do providing I do well on the civil service test.
