Got a DXT and a Maxxis 35 (meant to be for target but that went down the drain, lucky I got it in matte black!) And nope, been pretty damn hard with it!! Can't seem to close the distance down to bow range, always seem to be within rifle range when I've got the bow, and when I have the rifle, everything is up close >.<

where are you from lost? I just got into bow hunting, all I have shot is goats and pigeons so far. only taken it out twice haha. if your up on the waikato I should be able to get you a goat if you want

Yeh I havent heard of those bows really, I only know the common hunting ones. I have a bear Mauler 60-70lb and after dealing with a massive draw length for ages I realised that I'm not 30" but actually 26.5". Which shocked me becaause I have a bow hunting mate smaller than me using 28". I have got a few things with it, had a few very close calls with deer this year but no dice, got one of the hunts for a little 8 pt red on camera. Try sctoch calling hares in the summer months. From about now to start of march they come screaming in to it! along with the odd cheeky red dog.

Good stuff there dougie, how long were you in the army for? So I take it then your a bit keen on the dogs? have any hunting ones yourself?
