    Hoyt 2022, are you still happy with it?

    I have a '22 Ventum 33 Pro Shoots GREAT. Only reason I picked it up is because at the same draw weight as my Z7, its shooting the same weight arrow at almost 40 fps faster. In my mind that was a reason to change. The quiver system and picatinny sight mount are great additions in terms of accessory

    Well as a short update, I was able to talk with a guy at work(but waay different department) and he happens to live just up the street from me. He did solar a year ago and its a dang good system.

    Home Solar thread

    So i originally typed this from my phone so i was disinclined to type out a larger thread Per my power company they will credit me 1 for 1 on accumulated KwH. Assuming my energy use is fixed at 800kwh/m; if I use 800 kwh/month and generate 1000 over the course of 3 months; they'll accumulate a...

I got the dude some basic info and basically a 8.76kw system will get me 120% of my peak usage. it sounds like it's going to be string inverter type instead of a micro inverter. I.I don't consider it to be...

    There definitely needs to be some sort of deciding criteria for what people define as 'quality' or "better" A company needs quality materials, quality workmanship, and a good QA dept. Kuiu (Toray) makes some amazing fabrics Origin (so far in my experience) makes a great pair of jeans At the...

    Danner boot sizing

    sure that might be the case but they won't re-sole if the welting comes up and I've burned through 2 sets of Acadias. first time I thought it might be my fault so I made sure to take a bit more care of my second set.. same thing happened.

    Danner boot sizing

    personally I wouldn't buy Danner. I've gone through 2 pairs of Acadias faster than. they should have worn out and the welting fails in about 3 months and Danner won't repair without charging more than the cost of the boot

    arrows for TAC

    my vote is cheap arrows. I don't hunt foam but I certainly am interested in seeing if I could make some hard shots without wounding an animal. I'm shooting no frills arrows as fast as I can get them. at the end of the day, if your ability to shoot is good and your site tape is accurate, you'll...
