Sorry folks. This was supposed to go up on Friday, but I ran into a slight holdup. Anyway, here’s buck #3. (Click here if you missed buck #1, and here for buck #2.) As you can see, we’re taking the training wheels off. No more clean 8s or 10s. Instead, this week’s buck has just enough junk to make things interesting. (Next week’s will have just enough to make things brutally difficult).
Okay folks, here is the next buck you need to score (click here if you missed the first one). Let’s review. You are playing for a Mathews Z7, the company’s brand new, flagship compound bow for 2010. It’s a prize worth about $900.
The Z7 is Mathews’ brand new flagship model for 2010. The company touts it as their best-ever blend of speed and forgiveness, featuring an IBO speed of 332 fps, a 30-inch axle-to-axle length, a 7-inch brace height, and a retail price of $899. And it can be yours. All you have to do is score some bucks.
The 9-point buck would have made a fine buck tale on its own. But this story is made by the woman who bagged him, 90-year-old Delores Wilhelms of the town of Forest. . . .
"I've never seen one so big so close," she said. "I said oh my god, and you know you're supposed to be quiet...so I picked up my bow, aimed it, and bingo. . . .
I’ve been watching hunting videos for a couple of decades now and, for the most part, I consider myself a fan. While I won’t burn any hunting/outdoor (or other quality) time on watching other people hunt on TV, I’m happy to watch videos in the rare moments when I have nothing else going. And like many of you, I have my favorites; shows where the videography is great, the whitetails are pretty and the hunters portrayed seem like pleasant-enough individuals.
Most introductions to shotgunning begin with the “master eye” test. You hold your arms straight out at eye level, fingers up, palms out, hands overlapping, leaving a small hole between the hands through which you sight a faraway object. Then you pull your hands back, keeping the object in sight, until they wind up over one eye or the other. That’s your master eye. If you pull your hands back over the other eye, the object you were looking at disappears. You can also keep you arms extended, sight the target with both eyes, then close one eye then the other. The object will seem to jump sideways out of sight when you close your dominant eye. Try it.
Shotgun slugs have become faster and more accurate than ever, but they are, nevertheless, big chunks of lead driven at low velocities. In other words, they’re slow, they kick, and they drift in the wind. You need to take all three into account to successfully sight in your shotgun.
Like everyone, I have emptied my gun at birds that flushed underfoot without touching a feather. I’ve run 24 on the skeet field, then ruined my straight by missing the last target. I have shot both over and under standing gobblers.

Bourjaily: Simple Test to Find Your Dominant Eye35
Today we have a test with no wrong answer.
Most introductions to shotgunning begin with the “master eye” test. You hold your arms straight out at eye level, fingers up, palms out, hands overlapping, leaving a small hole between the hands through which you sight a faraway object. Then you pull your hands back, keeping the object in sight, until they wind up over one eye or the other. That’s your master eye. If you pull your hands back over the other eye, the object you were looking at disappears. You can also keep you arms extended, sight the target with both eyes, then close one eye then the other. The object will seem to jump sideways out of sight when you close your dominant eye. Try it.
when I started hunting I did a test like this that my dad showed me, but it was slightly different. Same outcome though.
How to Sight In Your Slug Shotgun18
Shotgun slugs have become faster and more accurate than ever, but they are, nevertheless, big chunks of lead driven at low velocities. In other words, they’re slow, they kick, and they drift in the wind. You need to take all three into account to successfully sight in your shotgun.
I didn't know that about the 3rd thing, even thought I hang on. I just got another slug gun and will use these techniques.
