    One Arrow Too Many

    Thought I'd post this up for your enjoyment: Was out shooting my bow yesterday evening. Hadn't shot a whole lot the past couple weeks and was about 30 arrows in and getting fatigued. As I was readying my final arrow at 70yds, my daughter came out to let me know supper was ready. Drew the bow...

    Black Ovis Gila Gloves?

    Camofire is selling the Black Ovis Gila gloves at a decent price today. Does anyone have experience with these as far as durability and warmth? Thinking of using them for mid season bow hunting and later season bird hunting.

    WTS Danner Explorer Boots - Size 14 - Well Loved

    These boots are about 10 years old and not very waterproof anymore, but if you need a solid boot to kick around in they might be just the ticket. I recently treated them with Hoffman's version of Obenhaufs. One of the lace hooks pulled out and was replaced with an eyelet. Size 14 They covered...

    Sold Apex Covert Single Pin Sight

    I'm selling my 2 year old Apex Covert Single Pin (.19 Green) sliding bow sight. I used it for less than a year before moving to a MBG sight, so it has been siting on my work bench ever since. It's in great shape. All sight tapes are included (2 have been used - one is on the sight, the other is...

    Considering a Peep Sight for Hunting in the Snow

    I've been carrying my Kimber Hunter (This one https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/kimber-hunter-in-6-5-creedmoor-let-the-project-begin.84790/) the past three seasons. It's amazing in hand, and the VX3 2.5-8 is very fast in my hands. The rifle is in hand all day when I'm hunting (Deer...

    How big is this Black Bear?

    I've never tagged a bear, but have a tag in my pocket in case a nice once comes by my deer stand. I caught this bear on my trail camera a few nights ago. The bear is stocky and his belly is just about dragging on the ground. Any educated guesses on how big this bear would be? I know bears...

    My string snapped! DCS Archery Bowstrings - Or another?

    Well I was drawing my Traverse yesterday and right before the valley, my string snapped. No harm to me other than a welt on my left pex. Bow looks OK, but I'm planning to bring it in to the local shop to have them look everything over for damage and get it restrung. They recommended DCS...

    Can I Get more Range?

    Well bought a new Black Gold Mountain Lite last week and have been getting things sighted since then. I got my sight tape worked up and so far its proving accurate out to 60 (can't get much further in the winter). At the default position, my pins are set to 20, 30 & 40. The dual indicators are...

    Lowa Ranger - Feedback and Larger sizes Weight?

    I'm looking to order a pair of Lowa Ranger III boots. I have a pair of Lowa shoes that I really like the fit on. They're also on the more affordable end of the German made boots. From what I've read, they seem to hold up real well over time. I'm intending to use these for hilly grouse hunting...

    School me on Euro-Style Mountain Boots

    I've got Christmas money to use and am attempting to patiently wait for my pair of Hoffman pacs (Pro Thinsulate Extremes) to arrive. This has me thinking about the rest of my boot arsenal. For grouse hunting in the mountainous parts of the Northeast, I've been wearing a pair of Danner...

    Thumb Release and Heavy Clothes

    Winter has set in and I'm stubbornly still trying to practice outside so long as the temperature is above ~20 deg. I've been using a thumb release with good results for the past year; I love the consistent anchor and ease of draw. The challenge I've been having is that with heavier clothes on...

    Experience with Kowa BD II Binoculars?

    I'm in the market for a new set of sub $450 8x42 binoculars. I've looked through both the Monarch 7 and Vortex Viper and really liked both. Both have a wide FOV, which would be a big asset in the thick woods of Northern New England. One bino that has caught my attention is the Kowa BD II...

    Broadheads for Black Bear - Options, Options

    Well everything came together to fill my archery deer tag last night on a big mature doe and start stocking the freezer for the year ahead. Notice how the broadhead stuck into a sapling after sailing through both lungs of the deer. It's still hair-popping sharp. She made it about 60yds. I've...

    Humidity and Arrow Drop

    I have previously verified my sight tape at 85 and 90yds (which is maxed out - 510grs at 250fps). Had my bow out the other evening for some longer range practice. The air was calm, but the humidity was really high. I was shooting on at 60yds, but when I backed up to 90, my arrows were...

    Broadhead Retuning

    Having a bit of a head scratcher here. I had my VPA 3 blade unvented broadheads grouping with field points out of my Mathews Traverse out to 60yds. Last week I did a bit of turkey hunting and and a moderate amount of practice with the bow. As I was readying for the CBC I found that my...

    Back Tension and Fatigue

    Well I've been dialing in with my Mathews Traverse after having a 10 year hiatus from archery. As broadly suggested, I picked up a thumb release (Truball Max Pro 4) that I'm overall really enjoying and seeing good results. That said, I'm noticing that the first 12-20 shots each day release...
