I used tablets everyday of my recent 10 day hunt. I'm still here to talk about it! :) The water was so crystal clear and cold I probably would've been just fine without anything.
Thermarest trail lite. R value of 4 I believe. Lower 80's in day and lower 30's in the night. Pretty crazy!!
Im a hard headed son of a gun (ask my wife) and while I got down a couple of times, I wasn't going to let any mountain or elk whoop me!! It may kill me, but next year i'll have antlers...
Thanks guys! I was taking notes on the mountain so I wouldn't forget. :) It was so damn hot this year, lower 80's most days. Very sporadic bugling. Made things difficult....even more!
Just got back from my Idaho OTC DIY archery elk hunt and it was amazing. Several close encounters but for one reason or the next, just couldn't connect. Learned a lot and next year I will be posting pics of my bull!!
So I thought I would share a few things of what I learned out there for your...
I went with the 5 pin because that's what I know. Personally, I just do not like the idea of missing with sliding your sights that often. Always been afraid id get caught off guard with a 3 pin and especially a single pin slider. I can handle out past 60 as that's going to have to be a perfect...
I just received my MBG custom 5 pin ascent. Love it. #1 is your top pin btw. I ordered my first 4 .19 and the slider pin .10. First time having a .10 pin and its great. The next one will have several at that diameter.
Bought one and sent it back promptly. Just a weird fitting beanie! Definitely loose fitting and I have an average size head. Thing just didn't fit right!!
I just bought the Synergy. Thing is smooth as butter on the draw and the valley is crazy! I have shoulder problems and wanted an easier draw than my Mathews Z7 Mag. I'm pulling 70lbs with my Elite and it feels like lower 60's.
I just jumped off the Mathews ship and bought a Elite Synergy. The draw cycle is amazing. Don't go shoot one or else you'll probably own it!! :)
These modern bows, they are all good. Boils down to yourself and what you want.
Ordered a Medium and Large not knowing which size I was. 2 months later and they arrive. I'm a large so thought before I send the Medium back to Kuiu I'd offer it up to you guys. Gotta eat shipping regardless so 49.99 tyd via PayPal gift or add 3%. Brand new in package, I never tried on the Med...
Does anybody hunt in short sleeve shirt when the weather gets warm/hot? Going archery in S. Idaho and last year sounds like it broke into the 80's. That's hot for any sort of long sleeves!! Thanks
