    Site Tapes - Broadheads vs. Field Points

    I don’t think anyone is saying they hit the exact hole, but with my setup, 571gr. Arrow, comes out of bow roughly 261 FPS, I’m using 125gr. Ironwill solids, AAE Max Stealth vanes, on FMJ match grade shafts, with 50gr. brass inserts, all arrows spun to insure perfect straightness. I don’t know...

    Site Tapes - Broadheads vs. Field Points

    Its all about getting that bow tuned, nock perfectly behind the tip, and sometimes this can be a PIA. Once I get my broadheads impacting the same as my field tips, and they will for me out to 80yds, thats my max that I can reliably be consistent. Then I start dialing in all my yardages, 20-60...

    Real world binocular advice needed - Please

    I made a point to adjust the diopter on all the binos I viewed that day. I know what you mean about demos models, the razors were so bad that I think something had to be wrong with them, don’t get me wrong the Nikons were excellent binos and like I said extremely close, I chose the best I could...

    What drop away rest

    AAE Prodrop has been a really simple and reliable rest, mine is the the Nock-on version but they are basically the same thing. It can be configured for lower limb or upper limb activation.

    what insole

    I'm not familar with the Kenetrek insole, but I am familiar with supportive insoles, I have finally settled on darn tough merino wool socks these are excellent socks for wicking moisture off your feet. For insoles I use New balance NB1200's, these are a supportive memory foam insole, I've tried...

    3 or 5 pin slider with heavy arrows

    Your setup is really close to mine, I'm running a 570grain arrow, its runs about 263 FPS, I use a 5 pin MBG with pins set at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 then use the wheel to dial out to 100yds if I'm feeling daring. Personally I love it, my normal practice range is with my bottom 60yd pin, the pin gap...

    CO OTC Archery Elk

    I'm sure it depends on the unit, far as how crowded it is. I would say the few units my dad and I have tried have had anywhere from 5-10 vehicles at the specified trail heads, and lots of individual camps along the roads. Last season we were shocked that there could be so many camps in the...

    Real world binocular advice needed - Please

    Think I'm going to take everyone's advice and try to demo most of these at cabelas, hopefully the salesman wont be too put off if I dont buy right then, if I can get him to take them all outside to demo. I appreciate all the feedback, also going to check used prices on several of these as others...

I usually take a it and an extra battery bank (dark energy poseidon), let it charge the banks at base camp while im out during the day and once I get back at night, top my phone (which i use for GPS) and my delorme off before...

    Real world binocular advice needed - Please
