I used to hunt with whatever season it was. Archery early, then muzzleloader, then rifle, then late muzzleloader, then late archery.
As the years progressed, I hunted early archery, then moved to muzzleloader, and rarely would pick up my rifle, then late muzzleloader, then archery.
Lately...
This might sound stupid, but my kids got me a couple of these critters for who-knows-why and they are the PERFECT camp pillow for me. You can compress them down to about nothing, but they loft right back up and gave me the best nights sleep in the backcountry I've had in years.
Of course...
Strickland Helix. Love the thinner point up front, single bevel does a great job screwing around inside the animal, and they fly like darts for me. Pretty decent heads
Meindl has a number of backcountry boots with a more narrow heel pocket and wider toe box for just the feel you are looking for. Might also be worth a look if you have not already made a purchase.
I've been trying different high end backcountry boots for 3 years now and all of them, even when starting the break-in in April or May have killed my feet once I hit the high country. It's mainly how the boot fits my foot. That being said, I used to buy the Cabela's Ultra-lite hikers from...
I have found that my Strickland Helix heads look like they have more runout or wobble than say a NAP Thunderhead, but it is like you are thinking, the chisel point is not dead center due to the offset, so they can appear to have more wobble than a pinpoint straight head. But I do have those...
Shot the Phase 4 a few days ago. Not a huge improvement over the V3X. If I had purchased a V3X, I would not upgrade to the Phase 4, but since I don't have a V3X, I ordered the Phase 4. Lots of chatter on this bow, lots of claims too, but the bow felt good, shot nice so I placed an order...
Yeah, makes me wonder just a little bit that the riser may be slightly out of spec as well. I have been trying to rule out each thing as I can, and I was down to the possibility that the riser could be the issue, but it seems like it is okay as best as I can check it.
I know this in old thread, but I have been struggling some with one bow this year, and I normally can tune these bows up with no issues. I have two 2021 PSE Mach 1's set up at 60 pounds, RH and 29.5" draw. I'm shooting 200 spine Kinetics and with both bows, I tuned the first one in the shop...
Sounds like you just need a little broadhead tuning to tweak your setup so they both shoot equally as well. How do either of the broadheads fly when shot with field points? Does your field points and broadheads hit the same POI?
206,000 Ford 2012 F-250. Motor totally locked up, just ordered a new one. Now to figure out what caused the old one to go from running perfect to locked up on Interstate. I suspect a recent repair, but won't know till we pull the old motor.
I always had a decent sized entry, as if the blades flew back as the ferrule entered the body of the animal, enough so that the entry wasn't the full cutting diameter all the time, but plenty enough to give a good blood trail. I always had great success with them.
Yes, my arrows behave differently with lighted vs regular nocks. I sight in with lighted nocks even if the batteries are worn out so I can keep a very similar weight to when I set up to hunt.
Yeah, I have been running Firenocks for years and make it onto the front of his catalog most years for the past 7-8 years with a pic of something I shot using his nocks. If installed correctly, they are one of the most foolproof and easiest to use IMO. break the nock, swap it out for a new...
Yeah, once strings and cables settle in after a new install, most of the time you have to put a twist one way or the other in the string to get your peep to line up again. I also made some little "peep aligners" using "D" loop material which look like mini dumbells. Install one of these in the...
To me this is good news. I know it did not go through regular channels like it should have, but that is awesome that Dudley stepped up and got this taken care of like it should be done.
This is good customer service, even if it took a little beating around the bush to get it done. Good job...
