DEAD ON

Today it was about 70 degrees for the high here in ohio, I went to practice then came home and sighted my bow(which previously was sighted for 125g) in with 100 grain expandables, they really do shoot like fieldtips I was very pleased, I can't wait until turkey opens up here in April. Anyone else gonna bow hunt the dang things?

    Yep. Makes it more fun. I usually hunt with a bow unless my wife decides that she wants to go with me. In that case, I take the shotgun, but it usually just sits across my lap because I spend all my time calling for her.[:D]
    I will say one thing though. If you plan on hunting in a blind with the "shoot-through" mesh, don't use expandables. The mesh will cause the blades to deploy, and your shot will not go where you think it is going.

    Sounds like experience speaking. [:D][;)]

    I'll have bow in hand and the video running. I think it's gonna be a good year here in the Buckeye state.

    Yep. Should have thought about it before hand, but I didn't. [:I]
