    Bow toughness/reliability

    Also, back to the discussion about bow toughness and reliability. I recently upgraded bows. I really wanted to fall in love with the new BowTech Core SS because of the pure adjustability of the platform and they draw very smoothly. From the outset I had misgivings about their durability because...

    Bow toughness/reliability

    I was ready to upgrade my bow. Unfortunately my local shop isn’t great. The proprietor is close to retirement and just doesn’t put effort into getting the bow set up for you. I bought my first bow from him not knowing any better. He never actually measured my draw length, but sold me a bow at...

    6.5 PRC - 6.5 Creedmoor - life of a Carbon Barrel

    Just to update: I took a White tail Buck at 326yds with my Waypoint in 6.5CM, shooting Hornady Precision Hunter 143gr ELD-X. I hit the deer broad side in the right shoulder. The projectile obliterated a lung, turned the heart into blood soup and exited the rib cage on the opposite side making a...

    6.5 PRC - 6.5 Creedmoor - life of a Carbon Barrel

    I highly recommend the Springfield Armory Waypoint. I have one in 6.5CM, three shots in the same hole at 100yds.

    2022 bowtech sr350

    How durable would you say the BowTech Flagships are? My local pro shop has a SS34, CP28, and a SR350 (but he hasn't assembled it yet) in stock. I already shot the SS34 and CP28 side by side with a Hoyt Ventum Pro 31 and liked the BowTechs both better. They were definitely smoother and I really...

    FNG from Eastern Washington

    One of the many beautiful spots I hiked in and set up on this Fall and didn’t see any animals, ha ha.

    Thoughts on suppressed build

    Current setup is a Springfield Waypoint in 6.5 Creedmoor with a Meopta Optika 6, 3-18x50 FFP Mil reticle with the Griffin Armament 30SD mounted on the barrel.

    Thoughts on suppressed build

    If at all possible, I will always put a suppressor on my rifles. Large caliber hunting rifles are no exception. Reduced noise, signature, and blast pressure are worth the extra weight and length to me. I am currently running a Griffin Armament 30SD that I am able to move back and forth between...

    2022 bowtech sr350

    Any updates on how the SR350s are holding up? Durability, shootability, ease and consistency of tuning?

    Elk vs. Mule Deer

    I have a young family with 3 kids all age 8 and under. It’s hard on my wife for me to leave for long periods of time. I’m just getting into archery and it’s my goal to archery hunt eventually. But at this point in time, it’s much easier for me to rifle hunt in areas I’m familiar with. Also, I...

    Bowtech SS34

    The ease of tuning the BowTechs with the deadlock cam system looks really hard to beat when comparing the flag ship bows from the different companies. Especially those available at my local shop. My local pro shop carries Hoyt, BowTech, PSE, and Bear. I wish they also carried Matthews so I...

    Bowtech SS34

    I shot an SS34 in my local pro shop. It was smooth and easy to hold at full draw, but it was set a 29” draw length and I have a 28” draw. I’m going to go back and have them adjust it to my draw length so I can shoot it again because it felt a little big for me set up that way. But even with the...
