    Shooting at the next level

    A lot of people will copy what very good shooters do in many aspects of their shot process or equipment. Some people will copy how elite archers practice. Obviously, we do this because we want to become better archers, and we want to imitate what we see or hear the successful archers doing. I...

    Moving to Seattle

Because of my job, I won't be able to spend as much time driving around and scouting as I would like, and I have next to no knowledge of what lands are even legal to hunt on near Seattle, or what big...

    Recurve -> compound, Texas -> Washington

    I grew up shooting Olympic recurve and trad, competed for a few years at a relatively high level in Olympic but stopped in high school when I moved to south Texas. I bowhunted with a homemade recurve on a friend's ranch occasionally, but leaving for college and a host of medical issues prevented...

    Experience with cheap bags on exo frames?

    I got a used exo k3 frame, now I'm searching for a bag to strap on to it. If I can find an exo k2 5500 bag used for cheap, that's the way I'll probably go, but otherwise, I'm looking at strapping on an HPG large Decker packbag or a Horn Hunter full curl bag. Does anyone have experiences with...

    shin splint prevention

    Anyone have experience with real bad shin splints and what you did to prevent it from being an issue? I've had chronic shin splints for a very long time, and I was playing hours of tennis every single day for 4 years in high school, so at some point I guess I just kinda got used to hobbling...

    Comfortable weight for elk

    I know a lot of guys ask what the minimum weight would be to shoot an elk, and I also know that the arrow setup, tune, and placement has more to do with getting an elk dead that bow weight. With that being said, what weight would you say would be comfortable to take a 30-40 yard shot at a elk...
