Rusty's thread is what got me to try it and made me much more efficient trad hunter ...made me way more confident..thanks Rusty

 

I have a 35 yarder right now....practiced it when Daniel was here...pretty good stuff....closing my eye was the hard part because I am left eye dominate and shoot righty....jer

 

He's out riding motorcycles and being the unmitigated badass we all love....

 

Yup, learned it from rusty's posts. Miss his input around here. He helped me so much with my hunting proficiency, it's incredible.

Great post.

 

Good post. I liked reading Rusty's posts.
He is the only person on the planet that could give a new bow review as frequently as Jinx can...

Come on back Rusty.

 

Yea, but did Rusty average a new one every other day, lol?

 

No one has more bows or limbs than Rusty I don't think. I have him on FB and his posts are even better on there lol. He is doing very well.

Rusty never sold anything, so you could not check the Trading Banket for his lastest "Grail" bow.

 

Several years ago Rusty Craine posted about using "his" fixed crawl for hunting. Every so often, he'd bring it up again, and again and.......

Several of us gave it a try--I'm still using a fixed crawl for my hunting bows.

Anyway... the past couple years posts and videos would pop up and the word began to really get out about "Rusty's" fixed crawl. Right now, there's three or four threads running on the LW and ArcheryTalk and several on TradGang.

I guess I just wanted to tip the ol' camo cap to Rusty. I'm convinced he's responsible for an untold amount of stickbow shooters improving their hunting accuracy.


btw... where is Rusty. I haven't seen him around for a while. I trust all is well with him.

Do you have a link to the thread?
Thx

 

Rusty pops up every once in a while. Last saw him on an ILF Facebook site. He sold off some of his equipment on here a couple years ago through Mike Westvang. I have his old Bernardini Mamba. Out of respect it is set up with Hex 6 limbs and a springy rest...

 

I also bought some of his risers years ago that were being sold on here through Mike Westvang.

Below is a link of an article I saw in "Traditional Bowhunter" magazine a few years ago where Jason Wesbrock credits Rusty Craine with popularizing the "fixed crawl".

I also have his Bernadini cobra riser.
rusty is on fakebook and what I see doing well started painting.
mill have to see if he’ll pop in here

With Rusty's recent passing, I thought it well to bring this old thread up to once again thank him for helping many of us with our hunting accuracy.

Ray777,

Here's a couple of his old threads:

Thanks Jim, this is another reason why this forum is so good, because folk are willing to share their knowledge. I have shared his pig anatomy thread with a couple people recently, I hope they find it helpful by taking out a bunch of small pigs.

 

while we are on the subject of fixed crawl and a couple podcasts as of late I heard some people have two fixed crawl knots. I typically run a 25 yard fixed crawl on my bows just because thats what I got used to when I started but those 10 yard and in shots really mess with me. does anyone here run two fixed crawls on their string?

 

Inside 10 is the worst brother. It may as well be 100 lol. I run a low crawl covers 0 to 12. Higher crawl covers 12 to 22. I just use floss to mark them.

 

Can you post a pic of your crawls tied in?

 

For the past several years, I've set my crawl at 20 yards. That way the broadhead is always on the deers chest. At 10ish yards the broadhead is on the heart; at 25ish yards it's on the top of the lungs; mid-range dead center of the lungs. Deadly poison.
