    Ultraview UV3XL SE

    Tried to like it but I don’t. I haven’t returned it yet but it’s boxed up and ready to go and I wanted to get some input before I send it back. I use a Spott Hogg Fast Eddie on both my bows, a Traverse and Phase 4. I like the sight very much solid and durable. The pins are great, they glow in...

    Tent for Truck Camping?

    Looking for a tent to use for a trip this fall. I’ll be basically truck camping but want something that’s sets up and breaks down easy to be mobile. Looking for just me but tall enough I do t have to crawl into it on my hands and knees. I’m tall, 6’ 4”, don’t have to be able to stand up straight...

    Buck 631 Paklite

    I picked one up. I like it a lot. I broke down a big whitetail doe and worked really well. I have a bunch of Buck knives and they all take a great edge, hold it well and it’s not hard to keep them shaving sharp. I have a few of their S30V blades too. I got a Bemchmade Saddle Mountain Skinner...

    Tuning a Phase 4 33

    Spent a little time top hat tuning my Phase 4 33. Got perfect bullet holes bare shafted at 10’. Fletched are also perfect. Haven’t compared broadheads and field points yet but soon. Cam timing is spot on and the bow is shooting great. However I’m shooting 60lb 85% mids right now but will be...

    Need a Sight

    Building up a Phase 4 33. Went with a QAD MX integrate rest over the Hamskea Epsilon. A Podium Archer 12” stabilizer and I’m thinking of staying with a Fast Eddie 5-pin which I have on my Traverse. However, I’m thinking of a 3-pin version. My reasoning is that the pins can become a little...

    Start Applying This Year? CO.

    Looks like there’s big changes coming to OTC in CO. After four seasons of life and work getting in the way, this fall I’ll be finally going archery elk in CO. No great expectations except a good time in the wilderness, just seeing or hearing and elk will be enough to satisfy me beyond worlds...

    Hamskea?

    I’ve been shooting QAD rests forever and a day and I like them. I think they could do a little better in the durability arena but I’ve have only minor problems over the years. My Traverse wears a QAD Integrate and performs very well but…. I’ve been wanting to try out a Hamskea and the Epsilon...

    Back Up Bow?

    Last week I sold my Halon 6. It was a great bow and it shot very nice. However I needed a better string angle at full draw (31”). And my Traverse is the most comfortable bow I’ve ever owned but now I’m wishing I had another bow again. Not because the Traverse is lacking but because I usually...

    Now or Never and My Wife Wants to go!

    I’m going solo. After three seasons not working out with my hunting buddy for mostly work reasons and COVID last year, I am not waiting any longer. I spent the last year shooting, tuning my gear, cycling, and studying here and everywhere on success and failure stories. I have no illusions of...

    First Elk Hunt Ruined Two Years in a Row!

    Three years ago a buddy and I decided we are gonna try our hand at archery elk. We planned, practiced, acquired gear, gouge, and knowledge. His wife promoted and he had to be home through September while she went through some training(we are all military). So we made a plan to do it this year...

    My Evolving First Aid Kit

    I’ve always had some first aid stuff with me whenever I have been out in the woods. Even on a day trip or a couple hours in a tree after work I have something. Band Aids or tape anything. But as i started doing backpack camping with my nephews and their scout troop I started with a dedicated...

    Changing My Release Aid

    Years and years ago my first release was a thumb button style. Then I switched to a caliper style wrist strap and have been shooting that style for a long long time with good success. But I’ve been thinking of trying a thumb release again and I ordered a Stan SX3 to check out. Any pointers...

    Homemade Archery Target

    Targets get expensive, especially if you shoot a lot, which I do. I have a bunch of different targets and they all work but I like a larger backdrop. I live in typical suburbia. While I don’t have any issues with my neighbors, I still want some comfort and the typical 18-24 square targets that...

    Anyone Have a Report on Their Vanguard Endeavor?

    I’ve been looking for a multipurpose scope for a while. The Vanguard seems to be a good buy and so far I like mine very much. I bought the angled 15-45x65 model a few weeks ago. Just curious to know how it’s held up from those who have had it and used it.

    New Traverse

    Took the weekend to set up my new Traverse. Been shooting a Halon 6 and an HTR. I sold the HTR and wanted a bow with a longer ATA than the Halon. Have been eying the Traverse since it was released and shot one at the shop last summer. I liked it a lot. Well, anyway, I set it up with a QAD...

    Looks Like I’m On Hold to Next Season!

    Wife is having surgery on her neck end of this month and will be laid up for a week or two in September and some work obligations have me traveling over the time I had planned. I’ll have to live through the stories here this fall and catch it next year.
