    Nock and String Fitment

    I tried finding a YouTube video on how to do the dental floss but couldn't. If you have a spare twenty dollars ish I'd suggest buying the string making video from Chad at Champion Custom Bowstrings, it's a very good video on making and serving Bowstrings and they also have some good tips and...

    3 blade broadhead recommendations

    Valkyrie is my favorite, really hold an edge and are scary sharp out of the box, but are a total PITA to resharpen and you need to buy there sharpening wheel system to get them back scary sharp in a reasonable amount of time, but there sharpening system works amazing on any 3 blade. Second...

    Nock and String Fitment

    Lots of good advice above, I make my own strings and have four or five different serving sizes and sometimes you just can't get the fit you want and have the strand count you want and that's when I break out the dental floss, I use the wide waxed variety, put it on like you would a tied on nock...

    Fixed crawl advise needed

    I would never subject one of my Toelke's to a fixed crawl! And that's not because of some trad police purist sentiment, it's because they aren't tillered or designed for it, at least get ahold of Dan or Jared and see what they say about it because I could be all wet on this, but I don't think...

    Impact collar recommendations for Black Eagle Vintage

    This is an old post, but something I didn't see mentioned, was that when you foot a standard diameter shaft, the end of the arrow becomes a larger diameter than standard tips and broadheads and you end up with a lip that impedes penetration, if you go this route, make sure you bevel the front...

    Longbows with carbon limbs. (Input needed)

    I'm just going to go ahead and say it~There's lots of Carbon in wood! But I'm always going to go with recommending Toelke's, I'm kind of a fanboy!

    Fletch Orientation for Least Wear and Best Flight

    Yeah, it works great when you don't goon the release, and that, especially under pressure like when hunting happens all to often, I'll never use it for hunting with broadheads!

    Arrow Length Question for Gap Shooters

    I don't really have an exact answer for you, but 2" will make a significant change especially if you go to a heavier gpi arrow. I have monkey arms and a ridiculously long draw for my height and shoot split low anchor, my point on with a 32" arrow is usually around 60yds with bows shooting in the...

    New to traditional archery. Bare shaft tuning

    You can and probably will drive yourself nuts trying to achieve perfect arrow flight every shot when you are starting out, especially trying to start out at 55#. If you think you are close, and you don't see wobbles with your fletched shafts, screw on some broadheads and see if they fly well...

    Any tips for making your own fletchings?

    Wear a good dust mask if you grind them yourself, there used to be guys out there that would grind them for you either for a fee or some guys would grind both wings and give you back the feathers from one of them and keep the feathers from the other wing. Do a search on tradgang

    First Lite back at Scheel’s

    Haven't been in the actual store, but doing a web search with the store here in Colorado, they don't list anything. Edit: just changed my store from the local one to the Overland Park store and it still came up with no results found, maybe they aren't offering online?

    How do you size a quiver?

    Only thing I'll add is make sure whatever you get has a deep enough hood and foam to totally encapsulate your broadheads

    Bowhunting the west, can you be successful doing it or is it just a idea?

    Then you live in arguably one of the best states to try it, and that's not my opinion, it's the opinion of people that actually kill stuff with a stick bow regularly instead of once in a blue moon like me.

    Bowhunting the west, can you be successful doing it or is it just a idea?

    Well I'll tell you this, I live in Colorado, I've had shots in more archery seasons than I have in rifle seasons, I've hunted 3 or 4 rifle seasons, never seen an elk, have never had that happen in archery season. The thing I think is a waist is OTC TAGS if you don't know what you are doing or...
