    Cold Bow 2024.... QnA Thread

    Well, hot damn. Guess I need to confirm my new trad bow tune is as good as the paper says! Need to find somewhere to shoot a little further as well.

    How to catch an untrapable mouse.

    Tiny snares along all the baseboards? Screw bait at this point.

    Aaaannd... that's why there's a first rule of fight club!

    Draw shoulder coming along as I rotate.

    Try activating your lats (Just keep them lightly tensioned, it's not a full blown lat pulldown) before you complete the draw to anchor.

    Is the Expen$$$ive Turkey ammo worth it?

    How do you intend to pattern those loads?!?! It's a giant waddling buzzard with a cool beard. I have never intentionally tried to hunt a turkey, but if I did, the appeal would be calling it into my lap, not smoking it at 80 yards.

    I was a huge fan of Patrick Smith... I can't pretend Aaron Snyder's public personality makes me want to buy one of their packs these days. But that doesn't matter, I already own a Reckoning on a duplex frame, and that pack has been excellent for the last 8-9 years. And I'm not going to write him...

    treeline/gritty bear tour missoula

    Why would you pay money to go have someone tell you how to hunt bears when you already live in bear country? Go hunt bears with that gas money!

    My mountain rifle is getting walnut…

    There are some good on the wood finishes out there, with the obvious upside of more waterproofing... Murdoch's Uralkyd 500 floor finish by Sutherland Welles over a couple base layers of their hard sealer is my go to. I've used it to for high traffic tables, and to refinish bow handles. Might be...

    My mountain rifle is getting walnut…

    Been woodworking a long time, and this thread has me pumped up! Love the detailed photo documentation! This is something I've wanted to do myself but I always seem to have more pressing projects.

    Instinctive shooting

    Everyone uses something to aim with, whether it's conscious or subconscious. A lot of guys that want to shoot instinctive would benefit from trying out some type of hard gap aiming system for a few days, then going back to instinctive. The subconscious brain is good at aiming. It's better if you...

    How many days a year do you hunt?

    Sounds like a trap to me! Are you my wife incognito?

    Put a little meat in the freezer last Friday

    Great shot! It sure is funny how anxious we get till we find the critter. Do the deer ever get weird about that ghost blind? I love the concept, but have heard mixed reviews.

    That is also a fair point...

    Unlimited cow elk, SE WY

    Actually... Having read the article, this is better than I thought. They're trying to keep it from becoming a cash cow for ranchers by prohibiting resale, but allowing gifting of tags. And making it cow only will reduce the temptation for shenanigans as well.

    Unlimited cow elk, SE WY

    Wow... That's gonna raise a stink. I can't believe the amount of ridiculous crap going into the legislative sessions these days.

    I don't have a problem with them investigating, just that we had a bit of a witch hunt going on over here and demanded they join in.

    It's the elk in my profile pic... gets lots of attention. Sorry dude.

    I agree that blasting the guys employers is ridiculous. And while I love a good meme thread, I think we're on the wrong side of the "policing ourselves/cancel culture" line here. I shot a mule deer buck at ~530 yards when I was in college... with a pre '64 model 70 in 30-06, with a 3x9 bushnel...
