I used to work with a Mexican guy from somewhere in Texas back when I was younger, he always called that cooking on a 'discos'. He used to tell me that back home they would fry turkey tails in the discos, yes that little chunk of meat above the turkey's door that would normally get tossed in the garbage if not for our resourceful friends from south Texas. He said they were really good, just like chicken nugget, was always telling me he was going to have me over for turkey tails some time.


How many turkey tails constitute a meal for one? I can only shoot 4 per year...they better be worth it!

He told me they would buy them from a grocery store by the pound or something. I told him I couldnt do it, just the thought I guess.

It's kinda hiding, but I'd guess that you can make it out. 16oz plus a bunch of fumes from fiberglassing that boat. Wooooeeeehhhhhhh. I need some fresh air.

First thing I eat from the deer and elk I kill is the liver and then the heart in sandwiches the next day. Love me some liver but, I only eat liver from what I kill.

Little rough. I'll put another layer on it on Friday. Going to the races right after work tomorrow. They are doing auto cross and truck cross at one of the county fairs tomorrow and my friend wants to go for his birthday. I probably could have done another layer tonight if I added enough hardener, but that stuff starts to setup quick if you do.

Also, solo cups aren't exactly the beat idea for mixing up resin. It likes to eat the plastic.

Late evening bump.

Today just sucked all around (Except for work Redbeard!). The highlight of my day was the fact that I got paid to build ladder stands for 8 hours. I just wanted this weekend to get here.

Music time.

Lets see, I just saw Easton Corbin a few weeks ago. Justin Moore is in 3 weeks. Both come to my little home town. Then I have month till Eric Church with Kip Moore and Justin Moore (again) at the Sprint Center.

No way.

Hey, Q, id you see Red's post about recurves? We were talking about poundage- what's a good rule of thumb for a dropdown in draw weight from a compound to a recurve? I'm shooting a little over 60, and got an old 50# recurve, and almost busted a nut. Do I need a 40#?

Whats your letoff on that 60# compound?
What you have to remember is you're pulling 60# on the compound but in half the distance. It's your holding weight that is killing you on the recurve. So, you're not used to the stacking that happens with the recurve or, a longbow for that matter. The further back you pull, the more difficult with a recurve. The compound breaks over in the middle (or there abouts).
If you're pulling 60# at 50% I would think 35-40# will be a piece of cake for you but, if you have a let off of 60-90% you might have to go a little lighter to start.
Are you thinking of hunting with the recurve? Most states have a minimum poundage. Here in Oregon it is 40# for deer and bear and 50# for elk and Big Horn Sheep.
There is no poundage requirement for birds though.
I can't say for sure how it is correct right now, in the archery world but, the way it used to be is that a recurve that has AMO rating is the poundage at 28" and the weight continues to stack and increase from there. I have seen advertisements for recurves that say 70# at 30" AMO, so I'm not sure if that has changed. I can tell you the longer your recurve the more forgiving it will be of your mistake and poor form. It will also draw smoother and have a more fluid release as you increase the overall length. With regard to your 50# recurve, I'd have to ask what is the length of the bow, and do you know for sure you have the right string on it?
I didn't see Red's post, I'll look back over it when I get a chance.

It was a 62", and the old guy at the local bow shop put a new string on it, and I trust him completely- guy knows his bows. Either way, it's gone now, but I'd like to have one, not really for hunting but just stump shooting and some fun stuff around the house. Maybe rabbits in the yard, but that's about it. I've got a reconstructed shoulder (old Army injury), and that may have had something to do with it, but honestly I didn't hold very long at full draw at all. It was just getting it to the anchor point that was killing me. Maybe I'll try a 40#.

I still wanna start shooting a recurve something fierce QH. Just haven't looked into it yet.

My advice to anyone that is considering switching over to trad hunting, go to a trad shop and ask lots of questions. Somethings just aren't close to what you expect from the newer high-tech stuff.
I shoot off the shelf with feather fletched arrows but, there are numerous ways to set up, including flipper rests so you can shoot vanes instead.
For me, for now, I want to make it more simple and less terminal tackle. More about me and the quarry and less about the technology.
Really, just about anyone can throw $1000-$2000 at a bow and accessories and be shooting tight groups in no time, if the shop sets them up right.
To shoot traditional and instinctive, you gotta shoot year 'round.
Once you really get in to the trad thing, you can have a bowyer make a custom bow for you in the $1000 range. I wouldn't advise starting with one though.
The one I'm hunting with this year is a cheap $400 bow I picked up used for around $150.

Just go to that guys shop and try some consignment bows to see what is comfortable. Most of the trad guys are pretty laid back.
