    One pin or three pin slider

    I was fortunate enough to have drawn an archery only bull permit in area 700 for the 2024 season. Last year while hunting rifle mule deer and cow elk I told the guide (at 65 my DIY days are over) my plans to apply for the archery tag, and told him I shoot a 62 pound phase 4 with a single pin HHA...

    Self Bow Handle/Grip

    I have a self bow that I made a couple years ago. Due to shoulder surgery, I set it aside for some time. I'm back at it, and I'd like to improve my shooting with it. The bow is made of hop hornbeam/iron wood, that I cut and split from my property. Unfortunately, I fashioned it similar to a board...

    Embarrassed to ask.

    I have never had a scope that was made to dial distance in the field, so I always sighted in at 200 yards and held high for the few shots I took at 300 plus yards. I bought a Vortex Viper 4x16x44 with dialable turrets to put on my 7mm-08. The factory ammo I'm using is Barnes Vor-tx 120 grains...

    Sighting problem

    Looking for thoughts and/or opinions with a sighting in issue. I won a Savage 7mm-08. I bore sighted it then shot three shots at 50 yards. I was good on the paper, so I went to 100 yards. With little adjustments, I adjusted the group to a dead center 2” high at 100, all good I thought. The next...

    Wasted Money?

    I recently went to my local archery shop, which is owned by a friend. I was asking about some low-cost arrows because I might go to TAC in Pittsburgh this year, and based on other friend's experiences, they said that depending on what chances I'm willing to take, I might just lose or bust up...

    Slik Sling review

    Prior to finding the Slik Sling I bought another system for keeping my rifle on my shoulder while wearing a pack and walking. The "keeper" aspect of that system didn't work for me at all, and that's what I was most interested in. While looking for a solution, I found the Slik Sling advertisement...

    Paper tune issue

    Greetings all: In February I replaced an old drop away rest with a Hamskea Hybred Hunter limb activated drop away rest. When I installed it, I tuned the bow to the arrows that I was using but planned to replace. It was pretty darn good. I now have my new arrows, and I can't get rid of a nock...

    Arrow purchase, assembled, or not?

    I'm looking for thoughts about the assembly stage my new arrows will be at delivery. Sometimes I like to change things to keep me more engaged, not because I think I'll end up with a better mousetrap. I'm switching from Maxima Reds with 100gn mechanical BH with a total weight of about 375gr...

    Low poundage for elk

    I know that there is no absolute answer for this question, but some informed opinions would be appreciated. Due to cancer surgery on his neck and shoulder area several years ago, my buddy had to switch from being a righthand shooter, to being a lefthand shooter. It also required him to reduce...

    Fletching Question

    I’m changing my arrow setup for 2022. I’m going back to 125 grain cut on impact heads, and switching from maxima reds to 6mm FMJ. I have a 27” draw at 60 pounds. My bare shaft arrows spin counter clockwise off my string. I plan to buy pre cut arrows and fletch them with left offset blazer vanes...
