    Replacing Limbs

    The tech told me not to tell Mathews that I had greased the limb pockets because they wouldn’t cover it under warranty.

    Replacing Limbs

    The guy at Mathews told the tech to look for “play”. The tech didn’t really know what he meant either. He took the cam off and took the bow out of the press and one limb had play when he moved in a motion like he was trying to pull it straight out of the pocket. Like pulling it out and pushing...

    Replacing Limbs

    Hey guys, I have a Triax that I bought new. A few years ago it started “creaking” in the top limb pocket. I finally got a shop tech to look at it. He called Mathews and they told him to check the cam and see if either of the top limbs had any play. Well, one bearing feels “gritty” when you spin...

    Grand Canyon rim to rim.

    Thanks, I found out after I posted this that you can hike it after October. As far as water goes, can’t you filter it from the river? Also, did you just do it one way?

    Grand Canyon rim to rim.

    My daughter and I are planning to do rim to rim next year. For those who have done it, is spring or fall the better choice ? It opens May 15 and closes October 15. I REALLY don’t want to do it in the dead heat of summer. Right now the plan is just a one way trip but I’d consider round trip. We...

    Gas cans suck

    If your gas cap isn't attached to the truck, you can wedge it in the handle. I've done that a time or two, lol!

    Before I go messing with stuff….

    “I'd find the tools at a shop AND the person who knows how to use them, to address 1st/2nd/3rd axis.“ That‘s a unicorn around here. Sounds like you do your own. Do you have any experience with this...

    Before I go messing with stuff….

    Very little wind and I put a string on a stick at 20 yards so I can shoot between gusts. And yes, they are consistently to the right. Thanks for your help!

    Before I go messing with stuff….

    Let me run this by you experts. In this picture there are 3 fixed blade broadheads and 3 fp. That’s 2” tape and I’m checking left to right at 50 yards. Would y’all call that good and adjust the sight? I probably can’t shoot any better than that. Those arrows are basically grouped within 3” but...

    Thanks!

    What arrows are you shooting...not weight but brand

    Black Eagle guy here. Randy Kitts seems like a stand up guy. He’s an outspoken Christian, and someone I’d like to meet. I called their 800 # once and he answered the phone. I like that the straightness of their arrows is measured the entire length of the shaft. They might not be the only ones...

    A little help with a Triax, please.

    So if the top cam is a little behind, add a twist to each yoke cable on the top cam? How important is it to be dead on?

    A little help with a Triax, please.

    So I did what you said and it threw off the bottom cam. A half a twist here and there on each got me really close but not perfect. I have been able to get it dead on in the past. Every time I move one, the other ends up off a smidge. I guess that’s ok because I got a bullet hole with a BS...

    A little help with a Triax, please.

    I’ll try to make this short but still give the details. Last week got the timing and ATA right and had a BS bullet hole at 12ish feet. Yesterday I noticed my D-loop was shredding so I replaced it. I shot another BS and I have a low left tear. I’ve slowly moved the loop to almost completely get...

    To anyone reading the archery forum

    After reading comments on this sight and AT about "taking ownership" of your gear, I bought a press and a draw board in 2020. I'm still learning but I'm getting better. I have the owner of our local shop (now closed) on speed dial. LOL! He points me in the right and I get to it. I got my...
