    Kryptek shoutout

    Wanted to give Kryptek a shout-out for their vellus jacket. I picked up this jacket for late season archery whitetail in Ohio. I wore it in some sub 20s weather, but no real snow or wind. Well, we are getting blasted with snow and wind, so I wore this jacket all day working outside. I can...

    Micro diameter for Trad

    So I recently acquired some 340 GT kinetic pierce from a trade with a friend. They're full length still and I already ordered some ethics archery components for the front. Pretty sure I can lighten up my total arrow weight considerably and still achieve the same penetration. (Currently shooting...

    First trad kill

    Opening day in Ohio and I bagged my first Trad kill. Nothing crazy, but I knew I was going to take the first deer I saw. More importantly I was able to share it with my the man who got me started hunting. Good luck to everyone out there

    Maiden Trad voyage

    Next week I'm heading down to Kentucky to do some whitetail hunting. This will be my first Trad hunt, so I'm just going to be flinging arrows at whatever crosses my path. Good luck to everyone else going out this year!

    Arrow durability

    Decided to do a spontaneous durability test while practicing from my saddle yesterday. Totally on purpose, not at all me bouncing the limb off my shin. After some careful recovery work the arrow is perfectly fine! Let's see some "durability test" shots from everyone else preparing for the fall

    Committed to Trad

    At the beginning of this year I decided I was going to use a recurve for the fall whitetail season. I snatched my grandpa's Wing Hunter from the house and started to practice. Started off struggling to hit my 18in block target at 20yrds, and now can shoot a very consistent 4in group. I plan on...

    Springy or Plunger

    So I plan on purchasing an IFL recurve and I want to try shooting from a rest. I am just not sure if I should go with a springy or a setup using a plunger. I will be using this setup for primarily hunting, and am wanting something pretty tough and reliable

    Mistakes made, packs

    This is about my novice mistakes in pack purchasing while starting hunt out west. New guys, like myself, don't do what I did. Old guys feel free to laugh. Last year I decided I wanted to hunt out west and knew I needed a pack. I picked up a Badlands Vario 3300 on black friday because it had a...

    Thanks from the shadows

    I recently went on a bear hunt to western Montana, and had an absolute blast. I was not a member prior to my trip, but did a lot of browsing through these forums to help plan my trip. I did not take a bear but was lucky enough to pass on several small bears. Just wanted to give a thank you to...
