So I’m going to Colorado to do a little scouting before season. Wondering how many people actually pack a pistol when scouting/bowhunting just in case you run into a bears or lions? If so what is your preference on how to carry the pistol? I would think that the holster would get in the way...
So I‘m headed out west on a bow hunt again. Last time I bought a cheaper Cabela’s brand day pack which was hard on my shoulders. I realized not all packs are equal. I have been researching a ton on what pack is best for my needs and it’s making my head spin.
I’m looking for something that I...
So I’m taking a stab at bare shaft tuning and keep getting a left BS approx 3” of my FP. Moved rest left and no change, moved again no change, moved again no change. This is making me wonder if I’m over spinned so i called arrow manufacturer and they said I’m shooting the correct arrow. I also...
Been using Trophy Ridge React 5 pin sight past few years and am looking at changing to a 3 pin slider that has a sturdier base. Been going back and forth between Spot Hogg Fast Eddie XL and Black Gold Ascent. I mainly deer hunt with a trip once a year out west. What do you all recommend on...
So I’m thinking about upgrading broadheads to iron will 100 gr. I still struggle with the price since they are 2 to 3 times other well reviewed cut on impact heads. Looking for experiences from those who have tried numerous broadheads why did you settle on the one you use today.
I’ve been...
So 7 of us are putting in for Elk tags this year. Was wondering if we are better off to put in as 1 large group or would our odds of drawing be better with 2 groups with less people drawing?
Understand most folks here are self guided but I’m headed on a CO guided elk hunt and have no idea what I should tip the guide? Do you tip by % of the hunt cost?
Seems to me that 20% which seems to be the standard for a dinner would be a little outrageous no matter how good of a job they did...
So I’m elk hunting Sept 13 thru 18th in La Veta, Co and wife is going along but not hunting or tagging along in the mountains. Anyone have any suggestions on what she should go see or do while I’m up chasing my dream hunt?
Just want her to have a good time since this is my first guided hunt...
I’m in the market for a new hard case and wanted to see what everyone here recommends. I’m looking for something that will not only carry my bow but at least 1 dozen arrows plus a few loose items and hold them somewhat secure.
looking to spend upto $200 but more importantly I want the best...
Why does one brand require a 350 spine arrow when another requires a 300 spine arrow for the exact same setup? In particular Caron Express Maxima seems to be around the 350 mark for my setup while Gold Tips are 300 spine.
so i've been researching this and trying to tune my broadheads but am having trouble. So i'm shooting Black Hornet Stingers in 125gr with a 340 arrow at 30.5" bare shaft with a 65 lb pull. i have done paper tune and walk back tune and am trying to get to the next level.
my BH is hitting 4"...
So I spent the time and paper tuned then used the step back tuning method and my bow is dead on tuned. I’m pulling 65# with a 340 spine, 27” and 125 gr tip. Every now and then I can see my arrow do what I call a tail spin however I still group fairly well even out to 50 yards.
is this a sign...
So I brought a pair of Crispi Nevadas and they seem to fit really well. Went turkey hunting. This week and noticed that when walking down a fairly steep incline my toes would slide to the tip of the boot. When going uphill or flat I don’t notice any slippage. Is this a problem with how I lace...
looking for a heavier long sleeve mainly for stand sitting without getting into a coat. What do you all recommend between these 2. Want warm along with quiet and not bulky.
I know this is a repeat but want opinions.
Shooting a bowtech Invasion at 65 lbs with arrow weight at 450 gr so it’s fairly quick. Field tips are 125gr. Im leaning towards G5 Monec 125 gr or slick trick Vipertrick 125 gr. What do you all think? How hard are these choices to tune and will...
Do they typically go on sale at certain times of the year or hardly ever? In particular I’m looking at the Nevada Legend GTX. Saw that campfire had some on sale but not the legends.
Just recently put this on my bow and noticed that the rest doesn’t always drop away and that I now have black marks on the 2 bottoms veins of my arrows, Is a timing issue or something wrong with the new rest? It’s tore 2 veins off so far as a result.
I’ve also noticed from time to time a loud...
What kind of socks do you all use for early season high country hunts? Do you use a merino liner with uninsulated boots or liner plus lightweight sock?
Thinking about get a pair of crispi Nevada boots if this makes a difference on what you would wear.
Just a curious question here. I see tons of posts where people are selling their clothes just to buy new. Most of these items have never been worn and even still have the tag on them.
why buy in the first place or are those posts the ones u want to avoid from a buyer standpoint?
Going on a archery hunt this year for the first time. Need help choosing a broadhead for elk.
Should I get a 2 blade, 2 blade with bleeders or 3 blade all in fixed head? Next question is what grain, 100 gr or 125gr? I currently use 100gr from whitetail hunting so it would be nice if my setup...
