Lots of ramen noodles and sandwhiches this week! Actually two of my favorite meals, believe it or not, so it's not so bad. I used my last ten bucks to spring for burgers today though. I've got everything else I need until my next paycheck.
I'd like to do some bow hunting, but I'm years out of practice and I was never that good then. Most of my weakness with a bow I attribute to a lack of upper body strength. I'm working on that.
Here in Alabama you're not likely to be able to see more than fifty yards, even in the dead of winter, so the 25 yard zero works fine. But in all honesty I can't even credit a real kill to myself. Couple of coyotes and rabbits, but those were in the back yard. I just started deer hunting this past season and I didn't have enough time to get out into the woods often enough. Since I've moved the woods are now the back yard, so it's on come November. And I just found a place on my property I can safely do 100 yard shooting, so I'm going to try to set that up next weekend and test that zero at distance. I think I can expect about a three inch drop, which I can deal with hunting. And if memory and the little I know about ballistics is correct, 250 yards will put me about back on zero. Wish I had the space to test it.
Sorry for the long ass comment. I find I'm conversational tonight.
