i've got a question

do the 2" vains have that much of a positive impact over the longer ones. a few years ago i bought new carbon arrows and they have the 4" on them but they are showing there age, and i was getting to have new fletching put on them and i see on most new arrows they have the 2".

and in my looking into new ones i saw these ones that you boil water and place on the shaft and they shrink to the shaft are they as good as they clam to be? ]]> Bow-Hunting cooker300 http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/bow-hunting/89944-2-vs-4or5-vains.html http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/bow-hunting/89483-minnesota-world-record-oh-oh.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:18:18 GMT Check out this buck and the idiot who shot it!

Has anyone ever used these or any of the other brands? How do they work?

thanks! ]]> Bow-Hunting rifleman14 http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/bow-hunting/89214-want-start-bow-hunting.html http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/bow-hunting/89033-new-bows.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:02:33 GMT I'm looking into bow hunting as I've been rifle hunting for a while, and just feel like I'm ready to take it to the next level. My cousin has a bow, I've shot it a few times, for the 15 shots I've ever shot with it, I know aiming won't be a problem.

THAT BEING SAID . . . . .

What kind of bow should I look at getting for a first bow? I don't necessarily want a 'starter bow' because I don't want to have to replace it in two or three years if there is something important it is lacking. Other than replaceable accessories, (sights, rests, releases, stabilizers) what is it important that the base bow comes with? I don't know my draw length yet, but most bows have an adjustable range. I'm 6'0'' tall, assuming I have average length arms, I'm sure I fall into a pretty common range that bows are capable of with adjustment. So what is the real difference in a $300 rig and a $600 rig, other than fps? Quietness? Bow durability? Thanks in advance for the input, and I'm sure there are already some threads like this, please link them if there are, I can only see like 10 threads in the whole bow hunting forum.

Facts that might be important?
-I live in South Carolina
-I would be hunting private land that varies in thickness from medium to light foliage.
-Money isn't a huge concern, but I don't need flames painted on my bow, just a reliable set up.
-I would like to find out about base bow differences, not whisker biscuit versus other rest debates or opinions.
-I will get into arrows later, after I get a bow!

Around here, we listen to the morning traffic reports. When we hear of 5 or more deer/car collisions during the morning rush hour, we call in sick, grab our bows and hit the stands.

i kinda dont see the fairness in being able to snipe an animal at 100yds wich is pretty much why i switched myself on to 'bow hunting' (i know the purists will argue that crossbows are not bow hunting)

basically i learned what i know about hunting by reading everything i could on websites a lot like this, so, here i am again asking for someone to talk to me about a good way to start in terms of a compound bow, how are these things sighted? i mean you cant bench rest them so how is this accomplished? whats a good bow to start out with? (of course $ is a factor as im not Rockafeller here...) im kinda thinkin bow package where i get the sights, whisker biscuit, peep sight, quiver, and one of those steel things that let you put a release on it.......see....this is how little i know, i know that something like that exisits but not what its called.

one other thing, this might all be for not, my hands are horribly riddled with carple tunnel and arthritius and im not sure if i can hold the drawn bow correctly (my hands would be why i would like a release as well)

heck, im not even sure my shoulders are good enough for this type of activity....

if its not painfully obvious, i am not very learned about this subject and have very limited 'hands on' time with a compound bow.

so - talk to me like im stupid, cause i am about the subject of compound bows, give me your imput on the subject, tell me to stick to my 'sissy stick crossbow' or just tell me to shut up.....

either way its 4:30am here and my posts might not make any sence what-so-ever.......sorry
