    Farmstead Outdoors.com

    Legit website. I've used them for arrows and archery components over the past few years. Their prices and shipping have been good.

    Hey there, is your solomid xls still for sale by chance? It's been a while but trying to track down one of these for fall hunting.

    Nock and String Fitment

    Anytime. Good luck getting the nock fit you are looking for. It's worth it to take the time to figure this out, but one of the more tedious aspects of setting up a bow for sure.

    Nock and String Fitment

    For a quick, inexpensive solution I'd recommend one of two things: 1. Ask your string maker to reserve to the nock you want to shoot. I don't know what nock you are shooting now, but for those GT Pro Hunters imagine it's the GT GTO nock fit into their accu bushing. That center serving should be...

    WTS Trulock precision hunter choke tube set for 12 ga. Browning Invector +

    Ah, bummer. Good luck finding a choke! If you call Trulock, they should be able to set you up with chokes based on that thread pattern.

    WTS Trulock precision hunter choke tube set for 12 ga. Browning Invector +

    I've had several -- Browning Maxus, Winchester SX3, Browning Maxus II... These are Invector Plus threads, not the older Invector. Invector Plus (also labeled Invector + sometimes) came out around 1991 I think. What does your current choke tube say? Browning customer service might also be...

    Mathews Tuning Guide

    The charts above are the go-to references for Mathews tuning, and I'll second the Gillingham videos as well. A third but more esoteric resource is Jesse Broadwater's Vimeo series on tuning compound bows. It costs money, but shows him setting up a TRX target bow. Very good and applicable to...

    What lighter arrow for hunting?

    OP, it's very reasonable that you'd like to shoot a lighter arrow than the FMJ. It's in what I'd call the heavy GPI class of compound arrows. To get a lighter weight, you'll want to focus on all the arrows mentioned above with 1-2 GPI less than the FMJ has. Some good ones already mentioned...

    Cuben/ Dyneema tents longterm?

    I had a camo DCF Zpacks triplex for a few years and it did great for 30-40 nights. One small tear caused by a sharp piece of gear, but the material is so easy to patch. Very good shelter for the rain we get in PNW and I liked how it didn’t really have they classic “tent” smell the way silnyon has.

    RokStok

    T1x compatibility was brought up early (back on page 3-4), but I haven't seen any comments since (could have missed it). Will relief cuts on the T3x Rokstock allow folks to swap in a T1x? Or should we expect to do a little filing for fit? I have a T3x now, haven't looked under the hood on a...

    Sold Browning Maxus II Sporting, 30" barrel, NIB

    Gun sold locally last week... I'll update the prefix here. I hear you on the longer barrel. I actually got it to test some dedicated 30" autoloader duck guns. The sporting model is the only auto Browning makes in a 30" barrel stateside these days. After testing a few, I chose a Beretta A400...

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    The 12 gauge is still the easiest and most common duck gun for lots of reasons stated here plus more. In current production guns, the Beretta A400 Xtreme and A400 Xcel are top contenders. The Franchi Affinity is a neat little gun if your length of pull fits their standard stock length. Their...

    Best Pheasant/Grouse/Family Dog

    I'm a Boykin guy, mostly because I'm originally from South Carolina and wanted a little nod toward home while I'm living out here in Oregon. Mine is 5 years old and has been a good bird dog and even better family dog as we had two boys. She sleeps in bed with our 3 years old and is so tender...

    Son’s first shotgun

    What's your budget? What's your use case? I assume some clays, a little upland or waterfowl, and maybe deer or turkey? Either the Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 in 20 gauge would be a good start in all those cases. Both are built with rather universal dimensions and shoulder naturally for...
