Hunting Forum

Greetings everyone....kinda getting comfortable at my 10, 20 yards shot but my 30 is a little weak, still need practice to gain confidence, but am happy since my bow sat for the last 8 years and only started getting serious 2 months ago, my daughter still not wanting to put in the practice hours, my son is getting really good as well he is dedicated, we will be starting our hunting on our weekends together starting in November then thru January..The tight shot group is my 20 yard shot, about the size of a fifty cent piece, the wider shot group is my 30 yard shot, still in the vitals but can be better and will with practice this week.....have an awesome day....any feed back appreciated....

Not sure what happened I uploaded the photos maybe did something wrong.....

Grunt, if you can send me your pics, I'll try to post them for you. I'm not the best at it but I'll try. Others on here are much more proficient at it, like Copperhead, swnoel or Lunkerdog and some others! My email is: degonzague_ed@hotmail.com or you can try photobucket. That's what I use or I just copy and paste the pic. Works that way..........sometimes! What size is your pics? Put your puter mouse over the pic and it should have a small box pop up and say what size it is. This site only allows a certain size pic or at least that's what it tell's me. 

Typically what happens is that the pics are too large and not allowed on the site.

This is going to sound stupid, but it works. I downloaded MPSnap from http://download.cnet.com/MWSnap/300...24229.html

Then while I'm viewing the pic I want to post I use the "Capture -> Any Area" function and draw a rectangle around what I want to post, save it, and then post the new one. The MWSnap software saves a MUCH smaller image in Kbyte terms and they post fine.

You can also upload them for free to tinypic.com and use them from there

I use plain old Paint that comes with windows. Open the pic, click image and then stretch/skew. I set horizontal and vertical at 75 and then save as whatever the original name was and add 75 at the end ( before .jpg or ,bmp or whatever type of file it is ). Click Attributes and it will tell you the file size ( size on disk ). If it is still too large, go back and set stretch/skew to 75 and 75 again, save ( not save as ) and recheck attributes.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it, I shoot a Bear Real Tree Buckmaster bow 70lb draw 20' draw use 3 340 Eastons and 6 350 Carbon Express, standard arrow rest, it was a present from my now ex wife, it was a readty to hunt package, what I noticed when sighting it from sitting in the case and resting against the sights that the sight had slightly bent leaning left from top down so my longer shots at firts were going right, tried to put pressure on it to put it back into place and got it pretty much straightened out, I then went ahead and moved the entire sight up to make it even more straight then reset my pins, I use 10 yard 20 yard and 30 yards as my pins, not comfortable at 30 yards more than probably 80% so no need to go any further this year, I'd be happy with a 20 to 30 yard shot anyways, my 10 yard shot and 20 yard shot I can place on top of each other as I have done a lot of practice from those two ranges, but my 30 yard shot has several inches between each arrow, still all in the vitals of our foam buck target....
