Often I want to do some practice shooting the bow or muzzleloader in the woods, but judging the distance is tough. So I take a roll of 1/8" orange parachute cord with knots tied every 5 yards (15 feet) and a loop at one end that I attach to my target. First I hook the loop on the target's base (steel stake on the bottom of the target holder) and walk in a strait line to where I want to shoot from, counting the knots as I go. If I want to shoot at 30 yards, I need 6 knots, 10 yards, 2 knots, etc.

Buckhunter, glad to see they got there. I was running behind on getting to the Post Office so I figured best way was Express. Ship them back whichever is cheapest, don't worry about the change, use it to help cover shipping costs for some of the other guys. Matt

Sometimes when you run out of the reliable Rooster Tails due to break offs or lost lures, take a gold or silver Single Blade Spinner Rig and put a Wooly bugger in Red or Brown on the end, Add a couple split shot to the line just above the spinner, and cast away.

Pass on the buckshot, go with a 1 oz. slug. One hit, no chance of spread, and definately will put something down. In my own guns I run 2 slugs, 1 #4 Buckshot, and the rest are slugs. The buckshot is incase I see some rather large item that I can't get on the fly with the slug.
