    DIY leftover junk garage backstop

    DIY leftover junk garage backstop

    I'd go full super troopers and test it to find out. Preferably outside with a target behind where I plan on testing it at. I suspect you will want more material to stop it, but only one way to know for sure. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

    Help with New Deer/Elk Arrow

    Calculating FOC would get pretty indepth and not that accurate. (Use the weight of the shaft + the insert + the field tip + fletching + wrap if using + nock + glue to get total arrow weight then you'll need to place each component where it will be on the arrow to estimate how much more weight is...

    New arrow setup

    My initial thought is that I would probably stick with the basic arrow and cheap replaceable broadhead until I was comfortable with dropping the extra coin on premium components. It appears that you have gone down a rabbit hole without understanding if it is required. My opinion is to shoot a...

    Do you shoot right or left fletch?

    Right fletch. That's the way I started and way too lazy to check it. Will probably do some playing either this winter or next to truly super tune my setups. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Lessons Learned: Complete Arrow Failure on Elk

    Just cause I want to see this keep going. #1. Without video, it'd be really hard to make a guess as to what happened on either shot, but just knowing how quickly animals can move when they know you are there, I'd guess there was some attempt to move out of the way and less chance of a...

    Building points for archery elk

    Preface this with this is 2021 information, and my opinion on the subject. Arizona and Wyoming would be the top 2. Arizona, you need to apply every year at the draw to get a point, which happens Late Jan./Early Feb. And that is the only time to get a point. The nice thing with AZ is everyone...

    IS 265FPS OK FOR TREESTAND WHITETAIL

    Agreed. I'm right around that 260-270 fps. Don't care enough to actually check. Arrow is around 535 gr with a 70lb bow with a 30 inch draw. Speed, weight, broadhead selection, etc are a lot like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it really doesn't get you anywhere. IMO, I'd...

    New Ashby reports on broad heads. Iron Will included

    I'm pretty sure that Bill from Iron Will has talked about that plenty of times. *Edit* I have a link of Bill talking about arrow setups, but it's not embedding correctly. I know Bill was on Rokcast recently having a similar discussion. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    New Ashby reports on broad heads. Iron Will included

    Probably because it was "proven" in previous white papers. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    New Ashby reports on broad heads. Iron Will included

    I just wish they had given more information on how they completed their testing. What was the atmospheric conditions for testing? Did they have a person doing the shooting or was it on a shooting machine? Why did the 200 grain heads run a lighter arrow versus the 300 grain head? Assuming that...

    New Ashby reports on broad heads. Iron Will included

    I wouldn't hold this to the high standard of high school science... I mean as a first draft. They have a good start, but they need to eliminate bias or detail how their bias could affect the results. Either way. I like my 540 grain arrow that uses a 100 grain broadhead and won't be switching...
