    Cohutta Wilderness, GA

    Yep, very few and far between. I didn't see any deer or deer sign on that trip. I went back to Cohutta for the early rifle season last year. I was bear hunting, but I spooked a whitetail. I believe it was a doe, but I didn't get a good look at it as it ran off. I won't tell you where because it...

    North Georgia

    I saw a couple of does one morning, my buddy killed a small female bear, and I killed a very large male bear on the last evening of our hunt. So, I guess it worked out for us, but the overall experience was pretty poor because the military was performing training exercises either right there in...

    Best Insoles?

    If you need arch support, the Powerstep Pinnacles are absolutely amazing. They have a pretty hard bottom similar to some custom orthotics. Everyone is different, but I absolutely swear by mine. I've got an older pair that I like a lot better than the new version they're selling now, but I still...

    3Rivers Spine Calculator Center Shot Measurement

    First I've heard of the Stu Miller Calculator. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!

    3Rivers Spine Calculator Center Shot Measurement

    Yeah, for sure. That’s why I’m trying to make sure I get this right. All my other info is measured, weighed, and verified. I know I’m going to need to enter a personal form calibration number, but if its based on an incorrect center shot, it will screw up everything. I'm currently shooting an...

    3Rivers Spine Calculator Center Shot Measurement

    Ah! I think this has been my whole problem! My bow is not in their list, so I've been checking the "generic recurve" option, and apparently the "strike plate thickness" option does not exist for generic recurves. Odd...

    3Rivers Spine Calculator Center Shot Measurement

    Here’s 3Rivers instructions. The first part makes it sound like you’re just measuring the cut of the riser… but then it mentions the strike plate/rest and says “that part comes later,” when, as far as I’m aware, you never enter your strike plate/ rest setting anywhere. From 3 Rivers: How deep...

    3Rivers Spine Calculator Center Shot Measurement

    Hey, guys. I have a stupid question that I can’t find answered anywhere online. I’ve read a bunch of threads on how people measure their center shot on their bows, and I’ve read a bunch of threads about people’s experience with the 3 Rivers Spine Calculator… But no matter what I Google, I...

    Diving Into Trad Bowhunting. No more suction cup arrows. Wisdom and Stories appreciated.

    How’s it coming, @Tire_Iron ? I got one of my Osage staves shaped up and decided to try heat bending some recurves into the tips. I’m pretty sure I overheated one of them and ruined it. 🤦‍♂️ Won’t know for sure until I get the limbs thinned out a little and start tillering…

    Stupid Question About Carbon Limbs

    Yeah, I was a little worried about that. I haven’t seen the limbs in person, but online it doesn’t look like the hole goes all the way through the way it does on other ILF limbs. Might be a problem swapping the bushing…

    Stupid Question About Carbon Limbs

    Thanks, guys! Shawn, I assume you are using a pretty fine grit belt and then taping around the area that won't be sanded to keep from splintering? What's the finishing process? Just finer sanding to a very smooth finish?

    Stupid Question About Carbon Limbs

    I have a kind of dumb question about carbon limbs, and I'm wondering if anyone who has some experience with them can offer suggestions. I have a Hoyt Dorado riser that I like, and I converted some wood/fiberglass ILF limbs to fit it. In addition to swapping a little bushing that's in the limb...

    Diving Into Trad Bowhunting. No more suction cup arrows. Wisdom and Stories appreciated.

    Check out page 18 of the PDF linked below. Print off the Bowyer's Ruler to scale and laminate it. A friend gave me one, and it's been very helpful. https://nebraskatraditionalarchers.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2012-2-Mar-The-Nebraska-Traditional-Archer.pdf

    Diving Into Trad Bowhunting. No more suction cup arrows. Wisdom and Stories appreciated.

    Congrats and good luck! If you're serious about this, you're probably going to make a few bows before you get one that you're comfortable hunting with, so start looking for staves now. I'm on a similar journey as you. I've been bowhunting for 20 years now, but I started shooting trad four or...

    Selfbow harvest pics

    Love this thread! I built my first selfbow a couple of years ago. Hunted last season with it and shot right over the back of a nice buck. Planned to hunt with it again this season, but it developed a crack at a pin knot that was probably too close to the edge of the limb. I plan to build...

    Why do Kifaru owners hate load shelves?

    I’m still pretty new at this, but most meat shelves sit too low for my liking. I think the best I’ve used was a SO Brooks with the meat sling thing inside the pack. That worked pretty slick. But the frame didn’t work for me as well as a Kifaru, and I love the idea of the meat shelf, just need...

    Question on limb lengths on ilf riser

    I’ve got a pair of long 50# TradTech limbs on a 19” riser (a Dorado, not a Satori). I’ve got a longer draw and bought them to replace the set of short 50# limbs that came on the bow. I couldn’t tell a difference in the speed of the two limbs sets at all, just less stacking at my DL with the longs.

    Best Clicker for a somewhat Noob...

    I agree with both posts above. The draw-length dependent Clickety Click helped me consistently hit my correct draw length to improve much faster. I've still got it on my bow, and I don't think I'll graduate from it any time soon. Note about quieting the clicker: don't overdo it. It will be WAY...

    Weatherproof Your Sight Tape?

    Easy enough! You just put the bottom side of the packing tape down, I assume, and leave a little overlapping the sight tape on all sides? No issues with water getting in at all?
