Bolded.
Ah. I see your mistake. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you think I was using a cross-bow. In that case, indeed, you do need to draw the bow before you nock an arrow. Unfortunately, I believe in the power of the English language and would have used the proper term "bolt" had I been using a crossbow. As I stated in my comment to RMemedic, I use a compound bow. With it, the process is different. You first nock the arrow and then draw the bow. As you bolded, I had merely nocked the arrow; nowhere did I state that I had actually drawn the bow. I actually stated that I was glad I didn't need to make the choice, as I was unsure of what I might have done.

Hunting dogs or not, they shouldn't be left out to chase around whatever they want.
I have 2 dogs we use for waterfowl retrieval and neither of them will chase down a bird until we say go.
I wouldn't shoot a dog chasin a deer, but the owners should be controlling their mutt.

With a bow and arrow? That's bad***!
add on sights, releases, stabilizers, etc.... then not really!

Hey all you bow hunters, quick comment and question.
I recived an old bow as a thank you gift. It has no sights and an old draw string. It it pricy to set up a bow with sights and a new string? Would I get in trouble for not having it in a case of some sort if I brought it to a bass pro shop or other hunting store to have someone look at it. I'm a complete noob here and I want to get into turkey hunting. Where do you go to practice when you live within a city?

Venom, I'm assuming your talking about a compound bow. It's not that expensive for a string and a sight, especially if you buy a used sight. It would probably be better if you took it to a bow specialist, rather than Bass Pro. They could tell you if it's even worth the effort. Depending on it's age, it may have lost much of it's power and be useless. It's probably OK to carry it without a case, so long as you don't have any arrows with you; to be safe, just wrap it in a towel or sheet. Check "Archery" in the yellow pages. Many shops have small indoor ranges. One thing to watch for, if it's a really old bow, is that they have the bow press set up correctly for the height of your riser. New bows have considerably shorter lengths, and if you don't adjust for the longer riser, it puts too much strain on the riser and it may break, rather than the arms bending. My local shop owner's brother didn't know that and destroyed the riser on my old Browning Wasp.
Saw this one going down the 401 a few weeks ago and it made me laugh. I guess you make do with what you've got.
Hahahaha, WTF??? :lmao:
I guess he didn't want it bleed in his trunk
I thought the same.
Rockerguy and GreyGhost. That's a good pic. Several years ago, my truck was in disrepair (oil pump if I remember correctly) and my Mom was down during hunting, so I took her car out one morning. I got a medium-sized deer on the property across the lake, and had to strap it across the back of the Prelude, with the legs tied through the back windows, to get it back to the cottage. I felt like an idiot, but enjoyed the venison just the same.

I didn't know that bow loose their spring over time. Thanks for the info. You wouldn't happen to know a good place in or around Mississauga that are knowledgeable and honest do you? I would like an honest opinion if the bow is good anymore or not.
