    Lost an elk

    I had an arrow deflect about 2 feet in front of an elk. It went under him though and not sideways into his gut, for example. So I know what can happen. And its right and appreciated a hunter feels shitty about a lost animal. But some hunters don't really seem to be too upset by it. So, when we...

    Lost an elk

    Not trying to start a fight, but why is it a certainty that all bowhunters will lose game and because its bowhunting? It might happen, it might not. And nobody feels good about it. Everyone does their best too, but I do get sick of the "its normal it will happen to you sooner or later, so...

    THE Perfect hunting arrow

    This is what a perfect hunting arrow looks like... 570 grains, 3" fletched, aluminum footing collar, 32" length. I draw 31. This one went through a bull elk at 35 yds. 10.55 gpp.

    What broadheads?

    Cutthroats. RMSG. Nice bh's. Single bevel is not a fad. Fads are based on image, not fact. Single bevel "S" channels are proven, the bone splitting superiority is proven, the results are proven. Not saying other heads are not effective, so don't make that leap. My only point here is single...

    What is traditional archery?

    Defining trad by distance works great for me. I absolutly do not care what Fred Bear or Hill chose to do in regards to distance. Have you not read Bear recounting why he abandoned putting his name on arrows? The dude got caught trespass hunting on private land. Do what you want, but don't...

    What is traditional archery?

    I have my own negative opinion regarding compounds. It has nothing to do with and is separate of my neutral opinion regarding hunters who use them. So get that anchored in your mind before you read what I express next: In my view, the only connection modern compound bows have to archery is a...

    New Bow Day!

    Beautiful bow and score. Earl Hoyt knew his stuff. Can't answer the tune question but (and you prob already know this) glossy finishes In the field will cost you shots.

    The first time. Tell us about yours.

    The first time I shot a trad bow and everything came together was an unforgettable moment. I recall where I was, who was there, the bow, everything. Up to that point shooting a trad bow was something akin to mystery. Sure, I knew you pulled on the string, kept the arrow from falling off the...

    So you want to shoot Trad

    Shooting in the dark will do wonders for some trad archers. By its very nature you cannot "peek" or otherwise influence form by watching the arrow. It is a surprising number of us who are guilty of this and it ruins form. If you do choose shoot in the dark do it with a little common sense.

    So you want to shoot Trad

    There is the chance, depending on a persons temperment, that too much info on how to shoot a trad bow is not a good thing. My dad played golf, and the knots those guys tied themselves into trying to hit the ball consistantly was amazing. Try this, try that, do it like this, but not like that...
