Kinda what I'm doing now....can't move from this phone, and I'm just waiting on a call....board so thought I's share in this fun I had Monday afternoon...

Just wandering around my grandfathers house waiting for the gas man to show up and fill up the propane tank...wandered by shop n tractor barn and what do I see....a host of boring bumblbees....

         

Yep, made me wish I'd had my bad-mitten racket that I use on them at the house .....when it dawned on me.....I got a bow, flu flus, and a Clark's head in my car.  I didn't get to go this weekend and test out the head on chukar, so here's my redemption...


What a blast this was, most shots were from 5 to 8 yards....not going to tell ya how many I hit cause you probably wouldn't believe me anyway, but will show you the ones that I found, or at least the parts that I was able to find....Some had the head missing, and other's the abdomen....and one had both missing as I only found the thorax.

Hitting a bumble bee is much easier than finding it afterward...a large majority are never seen again cause you have no idea where they went....just a 'pot' and a vanishing act...

       

       

         


       

       

           



As good at it worked on bees.....gotta figure it would work great on birds of the smaller variety... and seems to be a very durable head cause it got shot into the ground a lot as some of the bees dove from fighting, and they made great targets buzzing low about a foot off the ground trying to re-group...and those were a bit easier to find.

     

Flu Flu shooting is just too much fun.....been a long time since I felt like a kid at Granddad's house....but at 47, I might as well have been 12 again cause that's how I felt.

If ya don't have flu flus....you are missing out on some of the simple fun.

Terry,

That's funny Terry because I found the same targets outside my shop the other day.

I was shooting regular arrows with field tips.

I'm not sure I ever hit one before I quit because I had one arrow glance off the rocks in the driveway and..... well let's just say that it was all the lesson I needed...lol

Thanks for sharing "T".

God bless,Mudd

Are the wires on that head single bevel or double bevel? Inquiring minds want to know.

Terry,

Be sure to caulk the holes after treating, if not they will easily reinfest.....that is if it's feasible for the barn (Condition, etc)

Nice shooting.  Just showed my 7th grade archers the pict and video from the aim small miss small thread today.  I'll have to double up the concept with your picts.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

You guys need to bee-have yourselves.    :rolleyes:
