    Fletch Orientation for Least Wear and Best Flight

    Assuming you’re shooting off the shelf, what fletch orientation have you found provides the least amount of wear on the feathers, the shelf and best flight? Yesterday I messed around with trying to determine how to reduce wear on the shelf rug and fletch, I pulled out the pink lipstick and went...

    Arrow Length Question for Gap Shooters

    Question for you gap shooters. If I extend my arrow length my 2” how much could that reduce my point on range? Arrow speed is 190 FPS with a 460 grain arrow from my 50# longbow. More detail: I shoot split fingers and my point on is 60 yards with a 32” arrow. Needless to say, gap shooting...

    2023 Hoyt Bows on Sale

    Heads up if you’ve been waiting, I was just at my local Scheels and saw they dropped the price for the RX7 and VTM series by $200. Smaller local shop here in Reno indicated they’d be doing the same soon. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a new bow to upgrade my RX1, have read nothing...

    Freeze Dried and Stomach Issues

    I just completed a caribou hunt in which we ate mostly Mountain House for 8 days. I had really bad stomach and other digestive issues that were just as unpleasant for those around me. The issues started about 12 hours after the first meal and still haven‘t completely subsided four days since my...

    Sold Platypus Gravity Works Filtration System

    For sale is a new, never used Platypus Gravity Works water filtration system. I bought this a few weeks ago to use on a caribou hunt but we got dropped 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle and there wasn’t a tree within 100 miles to hang it from so we used our pumps instead. I no longer have the...

    When perfect bare shaft doesn't equal perfect broad head

    I've been of the mindset that perfect bareshafts at distance will equal perfect broadhead flight.... I'm in process of tuning my Hoyt Carbon Spyder for a MT moose hunt and switched arrows to gain a bit more arrow weight. Arrows are GT Kinetic Big Game and tipped with 150 grain VPA heads. My...

    Drew Moose Tag in Montana!!!

    I have the good fortune of drawing a moose tag in Montana's unit 101!!! I'm looking for some help on identifying a bow hunting friendly outfitter. With my current workload at my job and the distance the outfitter option is the best for me. Riding horses and a physical hunt is no problem. Any...

    Digiscoping Basics?

    I'm wondering if there's a good thread or article on the basics of camera setup for digiscoping. I can take okay pictures without vignetting, know about using the timer to reduce movement and the really basic stuff so more specifically I'm looking for advice on camera settings that should be...

    Shooting right downhill

    In prep for a Stone Sheep hunt next month I began shooting uphill and downhill at my house. I've got a bag target and a 3D sheep target on a hill that's ranges 25 - 30 degrees so it's good and steep. I've checked my third axis a couple times and I believe it's set. When shooting uphill my...

    Peep Height and POI

    So here's a basic question that for some reason I can't remember the answer to.... If I move my peep down will the arrow's point of impact move up or down? I believe the arrow will follow the peep and moving the peep down will move the POI lower and the pins would then have to be moved down...

    Bow Hook for Glassing

    Looking for suggestions on a bow hook or some other similar device to use while still hunting and stalking so I don't have to lay the bow on the ground to use both hands on the binos. I've got a sling for carrying the bow but that's not practical to use when closing the deal on a stalk or still...

    Nock Right Hoyt?

    Okay here's something different..... For two years I struggled with nock left (paper, bare shafts and broad heads). Within the past few weeks I've been working on form like never before (surprise release, relaxed bow hand, follow through, etc) by shooting blind bail and so on. Now the same...

    Your preferred string material

    Which string material do you prefer and why? I've been using Winners Choice X8190 Extreme for a couple of years and it seems fine but I'm particularly interested in hearing about the new BCY-X being used on the new Hoyt's. With a sheep hunt looming in 7 months abrasion resistance is very...
