    Thoughts on KUIU Waders?

    I’m a couple weeks late to the conversation but jumping in anyway. I hunt waterfowl and have learned that most folks in this game are just as fanatical about hunting sucks and geese as those of you that chase mule deer and elk. Social media tells me that most of you folks buy into the technical...

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    Now that you fletch then nock tune do you ever run into an issue with where the vanes sit?

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    I appreciate the candid response. If it’s sold as snake oil I’ll pass on aligning the broadhead. It seems that most people don’t, but at my experience level, it was worth asking. Duly noted on the insert. I had never heard about it until today when I was heading down the rabbit hole.

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    Hahahaha! I keep reading that. It may be my next purchase? I have concerns about the arrow jumping off the rest though. I get pretty excited when a shooter steps within range and the less I have to check on the better for me.

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    To everyone following, I truly appreciate the advice and things to consider. At the shop I’m going to we’ve done 1, 2, 4 and 5. I’m using a whisker biscuit (on purpose). I understand they’re less accurate but the piece of mind I have in the arrow sitting secure outweighs the cost for me. When...

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    I keep my range time short. I’ve learned the hard way that the quickest way to ruin a day (for me at least) is to go to the range and suck. Actually on my way to the doc now to see if surgical intervention is necessary or what the fix is. Pro tip, if you box, don’t throw a wild left hook and...

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    340 spine on 28.75” arrow. Draw weight is 60lbs and length is 29”. The bow is tuned to me. It was an eBay find and I just had new strings and cables put on and tuned to me.

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    While I’m far from experienced and my training is 100% based on YouTube videos and experience with firearms, but I was a firearms instructor in the military. So I’m familiar with the fundamentals of shooting and have really been focusing on grip, points of contact and sight alignment before...

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    Will do. I just ordered a squaring tool and will do that prior to diving into the project.

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    Interesting. My assumption was that I had a wonky or untuned arrow. Over the weekend I had new strings put on and the bow was tuned for me and I haven’t seen the corkscrew since. But your comment has piqued my interest - what would be out of tune to cause the corkscrew? You shoot bare shaft to...

    Insert tune vs. nock tune vs. broadhead alignment

    Hey folks, this is only my second post but I frequent the forum as y’all are a wealth of knowledge. So thanks for keeping me squared away. I’m new to archery (3rd season, 1st season taking it seriously) and have always been a tinkerer and a diy type. So I’m making a run at building my own...

    Best AR15 Round for 14.5” Barrel

    Been a lurker for a while but have a question for the internet and am thus forced to make a post. I recently lucked my way into a new ar15 upper/lower for cheap and want to put together a new build. My goal is a lightweight, short, hunting rig capable of dropping deer sized game out to 300 or...

    Tikka Pre-Fit Proof Barrel worth the $$$?

    I’m only a year late to this party but wanted to weigh in. I also have a Tikka T3 in .300 WSM. The gun was gifted to me and holds sentimental value otherwise the following would not have happened - I chased acceptable accuracy for 10 years. I was about to give up last year when I gave it one...

    300wsm Hornady Precision Hunter

    A week before trying the Hornady ammo I tried 190gr Accubond LR’s (all I could find for Accubond in this pre-ammo scare fear buying and hunting season) and it matched the groups I was shooting with the 180gr GMX. I’ve heard people rave about the Accubond so I wanted to give it a run. I was...

    300wsm Hornady Precision Hunter

    This is an old thread but... I’m a new forum member and typically shy away from social media and message boards as I’d rather live my own life rather than watch or read about other people living theirs. But I felt compelled to not only create an account but add to this post. I was gifted a...
