    Sirius Orion Reviews

    I have used several .166’s (GT Platinum Pierce, VAP, VAP TKO, Easton Axis, Orion) and Orions are my favorite with VAP’s coming in a close second. The Orions are simply more durable than the others and seem to suit my bow/form better. Are they worth the extra cost? That depends on what you need...

    What was you American vehicle experience that made you buy a Japanese vehicle?

    Thank you for clarifying. I read an article years ago about it but things could have changed, or my memory could be faulty, either is a very distinct possibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    To my knowledge, all “American” trucks are assembled outside of the US while Toyota is assembled in Texas but, all of them source parts globally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What was you American vehicle experience that made you buy a Japanese vehicle?

    11’ Tundra w/ 198k I have been very rough on this truck from the day I bought it new and have done none of the recommended PM aside from periodic oil changes (5-10k) and it still drives great. My only complaints are that the glue finally gave out on the driver side door button cluster so it’s...

    Iron Will Vane - Personal Feedback

    Fair point and well stated. In the Bill V/Dudley podcast, I believe he mentioned dB’s was included in this years university study, so we have that to look forward to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Iron Will Vane - Personal Feedback

    While I can see your point, I disagree with it. In a world of over-marketed garbage, Iron Will stands out to me as one of the few suppliers whose products are better than their marketing and IW Bill is one of the most sincere and knowledgeable spokespeople in the industry. I listen to most of...

    Quitting Alcohol

    4 months in and feeling great. I met a friend today to catch up and, it was at a bar because I’m still not sure where normal people go to do those things. I had a sprite while my friend had a cocktail and I’m beginning to wonder if it’s possible to have negative desire, even the smell was...

    RIP XV experience? (Other light gpi suggestions)

    Frankly, I haven’t decided yet as I’ve never used them and haven’t seen a ton of options available. My original thoughts was to use a 10g titanium IW collar on both ends of the arrow as that nock/collar combinations weight would match my lighted nock but, that would be a pretty expensive...

    RIP XV experience? (Other light gpi suggestions)

    Nock collars are next on my “to do” list for the same reason. Well, durability and the fact that adding 10g to the tail will match the weight of my practice arrows with my hunting arrows which include a lighted nock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RIP XV experience? (Other light gpi suggestions)

    Rip XV 250: 501.9g TAW, 30.5” C2C, Victory stainless 75g insert/half out, 150g FP, 3 2.75 TAC driver vanes, AAE Nock. Gemini 250: 513.1g TAW, 30.5” C2C, Ethics HIT/Collar 75g, 150g FP, 3 2.75 TAC driver vanes, AAE Nock. For context, I shoot a Hoyt RX7 Ultra with 80lb limbs and a 31.5” DL so I...

    RIP XV experience? (Other light gpi suggestions)

    As a follow up; I purchased a dozen RIP XV’s and three Sirius Geminis shortly after reading this post and there is a dramatic difference in durability between them. Of the dozen XV’s I purchased, 10 have broken through normal use (3D and nock hits) while all three Gemini’s are still intact...

    Quitting Alcohol

    You are a better man than me sir. My wife asked me to quit for 15 years but, I stubbornly held onto the belief that “this is who I am” and “you won’t change me”. It took me realizing that it made me an asshole and that I didn’t like the person I was when drinking to quit. I am almost four...

    Quitting Alcohol

    2 months and 2 days [emoji1303] I haven’t craved a drink in a month but damn if I haven’t been craving sugar. I’m like a crack head for cherry pepsi so apparently I traded vices, on the bright side it’s a lot easier to hold myself to two soda’s a week than it was to hold myself to two beers...

    Arrow build advice

    Interesting, if there was no tuning between spines, there goes the power stroke theory. Could certain bow configurations be more sensitive to spine? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
