    Saltwater fly fishing reels

    Mine are all Lamson. No real complaints. I fish the surf a lot and can’t bring myself to go too high end as the sand will kill them all regardless of price.

    FL size below .200” line?

    I see no problem with this. Should keep clickers at bay.

    Broadheads Shooting Left

    I disagree. I want the cleanest flight possible at factory specs, including centershot, with true cam rotation. Then, if necessary (and it’s usually not if yokes are turning the cams true, arrow spine is good and form is good) micro adjust rest last to bring FP and bh groups together. You...

    When the average American lacks the savings required for a secure retirement by a landslide, priorities are way out of line if that kind of money gets spent on hunting. Again, I’m painting with a broad brush. To some, retirement and everything else in their life is easily secured and $50k is...

    Loan or not (and yes loan makes matters worse) I think the better question here is should most people be paying $50k to hunt anything in the first place. In the vast majority of circumstances, probably not.

    Metaphorically speaking, the successful ones pretty much do.

    You aren’t getting a 10 yr loan at 6%.

    Broadheads Shooting Left

    Normal. New strings settle I. And the bow needs to be re tuned after a couple hundred shots into a new string. Take it back. Lost shops will tell you to come back after 200 ish shots. Your arrows are fine. With a mechanical release it’s hard to be overspined on a modern compound. Set the...

    No, not necessarily, but you should certainly have a plan and be on track to accomplish your goals laid out in that plan before spending extravagantly. For example, say you want to retire at 65, with a 120k standard of living. To do that successfully, you need to know how much to save each...

    Disability insurance is a huge gap I see commonly in financial planning. Most responsible people obtain life insurance, yet statistically, you are far more likely to get injured or ill and not be able to work, than you are to actually die. Every family man should have enough disability...

    There’s good debt and bad debt. Inexpensive and tax deductible debt to put a roof over your head and to purchase an appreciating asset is good debt. Credit cards, auto loans (usually), or funding non essential discretionary purchases is bad debt.

    This is bananas. Another one? The legacy you are actually leaving your family with is simply an example of poor financial decision making. Ever wonder why being broke often seems to run in families? It’s because of this type of thing and the examples taught to children. In addition to those...

    What lighter arrow for hunting?

    Not exactly. Momentum is what is harder to stop. KE is a measurement of energy AT impact. Hit something dense, like bone, and on a light and fast, but high KE arrow, most of that energy on paper immediately dissipates. Now pack some momentum in there and that energy is retained AFTER impact...

    What lighter arrow for hunting?

    Haha, solid attempt at comedy. There's nothing I'm unwilling to try with archery/hunting/shooting, and little I haven't tried, including lighter arrows. I've killed well into the triple digits animals with a bow and well into double digits with different species. Lighter = louder, and I don't...

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    This is correct. Actually, green Loctite could be the solution everyone here is looking for. It’s a wicking compound. You drop it on AFTER torquing down the screw. So you can dry torque to get an accurate value, and then apply and it will wick down into the threads. I’ve used it on two...

    Yes, but the haircut automatically disqualifies anything he says.
