Wait till you see the price of good arrows. Lol good luck!

I'm going to head to Targeteers on sunday, hopefully.

 

I realize that nothing that I do is cheap. The arrows are at least re-usable.

 

DeerSlayer, I may take you up on that. Give me thru the holidays and I'll drop you a line.

Sooooooooooooooooooo...

 

Anyone got any suggestions on what to look for in a bow?

 

I read the huntersfriend.com buyers guide. Very informative. I'm still a bit lost. I think I want a bow in the 400 dollar range(bare bow). Less would be great. If I get further into it, that's all well and good. If not, not a great loss.

 

Oh Lord, why am I cursed with so many expensive interests!?!?!?!?

$400 bare bow, you are are in the ballpark.  Though I'd suggest buying a package.

 

Cost of "hunter grade" arrows?  Beeman ICS 50-60 a 1/2 dozen with field points. A little less by the dozen.

 

Buy a dozen, save half, shoot half and save balance for replacement.

Now that's twin cam and 75% let off so a little more weight to hold back and a little more shock when you release.

 

Because I'm weak and have shitty upper body I shoot a single EZ cam.

 

But you're a young buck.  BTW my bow is set at 62# with 80% let off.

      Correct. The PD and City are behind the officers actions and saying he prevented a tragedy.  ATV was not even supposed to be in that part of the park.

      I also like using an Endoscope WIFI camera outputting to an old tablet.  One quick glance and there is no doubt about powder being there.

      Article I read said that the officer blocked that side of road with  his car to protect the pedestrians with the baby that he just passed.

      There is no press that you can just sit on a table.  They need to be bolted down securely so there is no flexing.  They do make complete stands that work good too.  I agree with the fact that the Lee Classic turret is a great starter press.  You cant realize the full speed of a progressive when you are first starting off.  You NEED to go SLOW until you learn the ropes.  The Redding T7 Turret press will also last forever and you can do plenty of quality rounds on it.  Be prepared to spend more on other tooling than you do on the press.  It is a never ending hobby and in no way cheap.  I am loading these right now...to the range tomorrow to get velocities..  GFH tomorrow at noon if anyone want to shoot I have guest passes to use..let me know.

      Single stage will have a tighter tolerance, and you have more control over the process.  Progressives are for bulk range fodder. Every experienced reloader gave me the same advice when I was getting into the hobby, start with single stage, so you can truly understand the reloading process and what you have to do on your end to make great ammo.  Once you have mastered that, then you can think about a progressive. If you want to add a bit of convenience to your single stage reloading, a turret press (rotates the dies, not the shell plate) is probably better suited.  It is still effectively a single stage operation, but you don't have to keep removing and remounting dies. I'm not sure what you mean by this.  Whatever press you get, it will have to be secured to a work surface in some way.  I bought an inexpensive 20"x20" work surface from HF to permanently mount my shotshell press on.  It is mounted very sturdy and durable with the added 1/2" hardwood plank and extra big washers. If you haven't already, you should check out some of the reloading channels on YT.  Ultimate Reloader is one of my faves, but there are scores of others with great advice.  See it in action.
