90 Yard Archery Practice 2 - From Knees and Sitting

[shagvirus]

Nice shooting. What kind of dog is the largest one in this video? Or is that a wolf?

[GusCongemi]

@shagvirus He is a Shilo Shepard

[GusCongemi]

Not sure how it is affecting your distances. I changed my STS string stop on my older 2500 because my 80# limbs were tearing it up. I modified it with a lower stop. But it didn't affect my distances. I'm now shooting a 3800 with a upper and lower stop it corrected my problem.

[bvillmek79]

@GusCongemi The string stop blocks my pin. I thought about doing some modification but i just wanted to know what you did.

[bvillmek79]

I have a problem using my HHA at longer distances because of the STS string stop on my Darton pro 3500. Do you have this same problem? I though about taking it off but it makes it so much more noisy when i do.

[GusCongemi]

I've used them they fly well but I don't like any expandable broadhead for long distance shots.

[ethanfoy]

what about nap blood runners are they good out to that far

[GusCongemi]

The quiver is called Vortxx made by New Dawn Archery. They have 5 and 6 arrow models, they might also make a 3 arrow.

[bvillmek79]

what kind of quiver is that? i like how compact it is... how many arrows will it hold?

[ihuntdeer247]

Your one dedicated man lol

[GOBRAGH2]

Good vid and yeah it is tougher to shoot when your winded :) I do the same thing with a recurve. What kind of knocks do you use that glow up like a light bright for the long distance shots?

[GusCongemi]

@GOBRAGH2 They are called Lumenok. I used them in the video so you can see the flight of the arrow. Pope and Young will not allow a trophy to be entered if they are used, I don't understand that one.

[sawrestler1313]

@GusCongemi i dont understand why pope and young wont...

[San606]

Great shooting. Excellent training regime and thanks for sharing it. I do similar as I found early on shooting on a flat range whithout physical effort was entirely different to shooting under hunt conditions. Go hard.

[GusCongemi]

@San606 Thanks, I feel the same way. The whole game changes when you are winded.

[MrAnimalControl]

That is some awesom shooting Gus! Maybe you are too old for running but not for whacking critters LOL! Awesome video man.

[Bowhunner22]

Thats some great shooting gus!! Man I was just wonder how you get such a great broadhead tune out at those yardges? I shoot slick tricks and past 55 yards my broadheads just fly way off to the right of the target....But from 1 yard to about 55 yrs there dead on.

Again awsome shooting bro!!

[GusCongemi]

@Bowhunner22 Thanks. Are you shooting Slick Trick Standard or Magnum? I have the same trouble with the Magnums.

[Bowhunner22]

@GusCongemi Magnums 100gr....I Have tried just about everything to get them to fly better and i just haven't found a way. Now I am in search of a better flying broadhead....

thanks!

[GusCongemi]

@Bowhunner22 Icouldn't get them to fly over 50 yds. either. But try the Standard, it is a bit smaller but seems to fly a lot better over 50 yds.

[Bowhunner22]

@GusCongemi Thanks I'll give them a try! Gus do you know of any other broadhead in the 100gr that will fly good out past 50yrds? Thanks

[MrAnimalControl]

@Bowhunner22 Standards shoot great for me.....80 yards on the money.

[Bowhunner22]

@MrAnimalControl Thanks bro for the input. Good luck to you this season!

[billjonesthefirst]

Great video gus.

[todddhel]

Gus how many pounds do you have your bow set at?

[GusCongemi]

@todddhel My bow is at 84bs. It has twin cams and I get as much speed as I got from my 90lb BowTech.

[BowtechBandit]

@GusCongemi Why so much? It seems like overkill for anything but a bear.

[GusCongemi]

@BowtechBandit I set it up for Cape Buffalo and liked it. I have a 27" draw length so I don't get much speed from light poundages. I can shoot further with a heavy arrow and I don't have trouble drawing the bow.

[gcstarr]

@GusCongemi

I am looking at upgrading to either at 80bs monster 7 or a SR-71 in 80bs. What arrows are you currently using? I would love to try out a Darton, heard good things about the 3800 pro, but no dealer with 100 miles has one.

[GusCongemi]

@gcstarr I heard the Monster is just that a Monster to shoot. Not anything good from the people I know who have them. It is smart to buy a bow from a local dealer if you don't work on them yourself. If you can set up your own bow you can order Darton on line. I shoot the Pro 2500 with 80 lb limbs. I hunt in some tough conditions and I like the 7" plus brace height. I shoot Easton full Metal Jackets 300 series. 11.2 gr per inch, small diameter not much wind drift. Great for down range shots

[teamkansasbowhunting]

Nice shooting. The editing job is nice too. Good use of transitions and effects. Shooting like that is a result of trust in yourself and the equipment...nice.

[GusCongemi]

@teamkansasbowhunting Thanks, I put a lot of time into my practicing for hunting situations.

[otsuka456]

Awesome video Gus ! Thanx !

[GusCongemi]

@otsuka456 Thanks

[AntiHuntersLoveMe]

Nice shootin Gus! Enjoyed the video!

[GusCongemi]

@AntiHuntersLoveMe Thanks

[1019drummer]

Agree w///Bowhunterdave,thanks Gus.

[GusCongemi]

@1019drummer Thanks, I really appreciate it.

[bowhunterdave]

Thats some great shooting Gus!!!!

[GusCongemi]

@bowhunterdave Thanks. I heard a lot of comments about shooting heavy poundage in the cold. I just wanted to show it can be done.

[todddhel]

@GusCongemi that cat is going to be in trouble@ LOLGOOD LUCK.
