    Bloodtrails are UNCONTROLLABLE l RF had a cadaver....just saying

    Pop some xannies and burst your bubbles. If you think you can make them bleed on the ground, every time AND your stupid friends think its your broadheads. Get better friends. Here's exactly why you will NEVER be able to predict the blood trail. Or you can just accept this. "shoot them lower...

    Dumb spine question

    300 will be fine. BUT, if you just slap them together and "roll"....maybe not. So - "Do you have a nock tune bro? It would be way cooler if you did" This is a huge deal. Every, single, arrow. BORING but worth the effort. Or shoot inconsistent arrows and work on your "shot cycle". Broadheads...

    Valkyrie System Destructive Testing

    My Apologies to the Op. Not personal. None of this extreme testing is good for any archery company. I don't own any valkerie anything, this is not brand specific.... But I have plenty of high FOC, meat impacts on my Channel. A couple you tube click baiters have popularized the "lets break...

    Shoulder Pain

    I've always found .270's to have a very rapid recoil cycle. To the point I had a couple I could have purchased and just didnt. Oh we have a bull barreled 12 pound .308 that we call butter smooth....beautiful. Anyway, So, I am now 50 and a couple decades ago my dad gave me his featherweight...

    UTVs, side by sides, etc

    Howdy from Texas. I have had 3 Polaris Rangers, and now own a Mule. Our family place has multiple users of these side by sides with different skill levels and quite honestly "give a crap factor". I am the Ranch Fairy who keeps them running along with A/C, heat, plumbing, deer stands, etc...

    Project Dik Dik Youth Setup 43#/26" Tuning was annoying - Video!

    SPORTS FANS!!!! Project Dik Dik was annoyingly annoying to tune for the old "RF". Here's the jist of gig. The RF is going to explore a youth bow set up, shoot within practical limits for the low poundage set up and kill some critters. The RF (because he has 2 boys and 3 nephews who bow hunt AND...

    Daughters .243 Help

    Howdy, Ranch Fairy has 38 nieces and nephews. Lot's of experience with kid guns. Your primary goal is for your NEW SHOOTERS to feel zero recoil. At the range, they will, when they shoot at a deer (think about this yourself) they don't. For ammo - simple - 100 grain soft point ammunition...

    Optics rental experience?

    Seamless. Get 15 binos. Spotters are less user friendly day in day out. Do, rent a tripod. It is one of the greatest things when you're out west. You find some critters 600-1,000 yards away wtih 15's and you can lock the tripod on them. Secondarily, it helps a ton just scanning around, you...

    Short draw length set-ups let’s hear it.

    Howdy Road Runner. I have been playing with a 43#/26" bow for a spring project I am running on the Ranch Fairy channel as noted. Tuning this rig was actually quite frustrating when I "obeyed the spine charts". But I am a total contrarian. If what is common doesn't work, I throw it out and...

    Iron Will entry/exit & blood trails

    Physiology front and center. Here's the deal. In no way can you control, nor figure out, nor assess the blood trail quality on any shot. Ever, never, and you never will. So OCD and control freaks, hang on man!!!! Your critters are literally made of layers, skin, fat, meat on top of ribs...
