    Low Poundage and BH

    My Fiancé shot her first ever deer with a compound last fall (26" / 43lbs / 375 TAW / 205fps - under 15 yard shot). With her set up, I thought a Killer Bee from Magnus would be a good idea. It definitely worked with a well placed shot, but I can't stop thinking about outcome if shot placement...

    Ford 5.0L V8 vs EcoBoost: High mileage experience?

    2013 3.5 with 243k. Not original owner. Bought with 96k on it. Went through and did the mileage list on it between 120k-150k. Currently going through it again and heavily consider trading it in. Had some work done last spring and now burns a little oil. Not bad, just something to keep an eye...

    Dusting Off Bow- Seeing slower speeds

    Recheck timing but also pay attention to your grip / torque. Different torque could impact speed of bow which would account for lower impact. Get some reps downrange. Find your form and follow through again.

    Would you shoot this arrow?

    Remove wrap and see if the carbon is cracked. If needed, I can cut that for you. Keep it safe and still have a grouse arrow for your trips.

    Reminder- check bow after flying!

    Have flown to South Carolina with my bow a couple times, Texas once for TAC. Usually, the return trip is when something changes. Historically, its the 3rd axis on the Black Gold Mountain Lite.

    Best 3 Pin Hunting Sight?

    Did you find that the housing of the CBE was smaller through your peep than the housing of the Axcel? Currently have an Axcel I'm trying to like, but the size of the housing is throwing me off.

    Easton Sonic 6.0

    They're next up on my list. Mirror the GPI of the Victory RIP TKO's I'm currently using but would allow for standard inserts (either aluminum or brass) like you mentioned. Haven't looked at OD measurements between the two but can't imagine they're incredibly far off.

    To upgrade or not upgrade?

    Sound advice here. I'd say keep going with the setup you currently have that is grouping well at 80 yards and you're confident in. I shot an 80lb speed bow for awhile as my primary. Enjoyed it, but stepped down to 70lbs with lower let off. Juice wasn't worth the squeeze IMO.

    Webbed index release

    I do the same as both above. You'll also just get used to it and it won't be in the way. If you're wanting this type of release to shorten the distance from wrist strap to hook, it'll be a bit less of a dangling dingleberry than you might think.

    How many freezers is too many....??

    980 sq ft apartment / 3 chest freezers (two 5's and a 7 cu ft). Trying to talk the fiancée into one more, especially if she gets some tags drawn this year.

    2022 Best Whitetail Hunt Photo Contest, Sponsored by First Lite

    First one off my own place in KS, 11/12/22. Wasn't in the game from my stand, bailed out and killed him at 21 yards sitting in front of a fallen over tree.

    Exodus storage

    "Then I end up taking them all to elk camp as I've had people out there have issues with a head they chose, and I let them have some of my heads which has saved a hunt or two out there." Should've thought about this. Headed out on my first elk hunt in 23 days and am organizing things now. I...

    QAD Exodus - Full or Swept

    OP - I think, and fact check me on this, but you should be able to buy Full Blade replacement blades that should work on the Swept Blade ferrule if you're curious on which flies better.

    Let’s see/hear what’s in your quiver this year

    Antlers growing yet?

    Dates are correct. Buck on the right edge of daylight pic appears to be the same as nighttime looking at brow tines. Have a couple bucks currently that are showing frames while majority are still main beam + bumps
