    AAE Hybrid Phnx

    Interesting…thx for the report, good info. Shamus, I should have characterized them differently. Its not version 1 Or 2. I got some when they were still in early development and I think they improved the design from the ones I have. I put them on one arrow…shot them a couple times is all. I...

    Switching to Single Bevel Broadheads

    Yep. Thus they need to be made of higher quality steel to maintain a sharp edge.…similar to the Japanese slicers- awesome, but pricey. Plus, there are some that say the twisting motion inhibits penetration in a critter…or that wound channels can be crooked. I wouldn’t use them just because...

    I can't take the time to aim.

    I forgot to say; then there are the guys that I see punching their release that have target panic and they don’t even know it.

    I can't take the time to aim.

    Yep, agreed. its all about disconnecting your subconscious mind that is making the shot for you. If you shoot long enough, everyone gets it. Everyone I know has had it or has it. When I feel TP creeping in, I do the draw aim, hold and then let down routine….. without releasing the shot. It...

    Baltimore Bridge Collapse

    Gotta love our president jumping on TV and saying no worries taxpayer $$ will fix it. So what, the company is off the hook? They don’t have insurance? What about the poor folks still missing? In the SF bay, its common to have one or two tugs accompany these big ships going into SF bay for 2...

    Long range shooting challenge from Backfire

    Erik jumping in to the challenge will make this interesting. These guys need content, so there is that…but it will be interesting to see how he approaches it. I like that he is trying to keep it to a hunting weight rifle and not some19# thing. 600y multiple shots on target…how many guys can...

    AAE Hybrid Phnx

    From what I’ve heard, the first iteration of test vanes needed the primer. The latest iteration doesn’t. Have they released these for sale to the public yet?

    Switching to Single Bevel Broadheads

    Ha…yep. Some of this stuff is a rabbit hole for sure…like 4mm shafts and SB BHs….solutions to a non existent problem.

    Money or Happiness

    Great answer👆🏼 I came from nothing- zilch. The fact that I have been very successful does give me a lot of options- I appreciate that though I still do live conservatively- its what happens when you have known poverty. Don’t discount the fact; Money gives you options….and not having money...

    Buying used with no warranty

    “Used” is a big category. The wear and tear on a 10 yr old bow might be significant. I think you are underestimating the discount of a used bow. I just bought a 2 yr old bow for 50% off…more if you include the 9% state tax I would have paid on the new one. I especially look at photos of cams...

    Serving jigs

    I have a cheap and more expensive version, not much difference if at all, IMO. As long as it has consistent tension- good to go

    AAE Hybrid Phnx

    I have some my buddy got from the rep 6 mo ago to test. I still haven’t tried them yet. He shot them a little….says he will use them on Kodiak hunts but otherwise feathers

    10 year anniversary trip-RMNP

    FYI you need advance tix to get in…and some of the different sections req a special ticket in advance. There is a little Indian place in Town that is really good..kind of a hole in the wall but great food. Otherwise its typical tourist restaurants- at least the ones we have eaten at. The...

    12v/Truck Fridge and Freezer

    I use this one in my solar powered trailer. Not a lot of room in it- but it keeps stuff cold, and meat frozen Euhomy 12v cooler It doesn’t pull much once stuff inside is cold, the compressor cycles maybe every 1-2 hours For a few minutes.

    New Benchmade Meatcrafter- 4" blade

    FWIW, my butcher buddy laughs at me for buying the expensive steel knives.…but I love them. He can whip a cheap knife back in shape with a steel…or a long round chock stick type thing with a handle in about 30 seconds. He does it 30 times a day. I like having a knife that I can sharpen on my...

    Saw recommendations

    I pack one of those small Silky’s around bowhunting as sometimes I find a spot to brush in and set up a blind Or trim some branches for my saddle. I stopped using a saw for animal processing decades ago- no need

    Hill Style/ASL Longbows Anyone?

    Oops...gotta shoot those regularly to stay sharp....what do you think it is, A compound? Grin I'm in the same boat with my recurve....I hadn't shot it since the AZ late deer season- dang I'm rusty

    18 strand vs 20 strand bcy 8125

    Thats it…thx NIS FWIW, Its worth heeding @nevadabugle advice on some type of finger protection. Many years ago, I was using a very thin tab for awhile and started to notice some numbness in my string hand finger tips… Oh man did my doc read me the riot act. Thankfully, after rest and a thick...

    18 strand vs 20 strand bcy 8125

    FWIW, i have tried a larger diameter serving below my nok thinking the larger diameter would give me a Cleaner release . Nope, no difference. Let me Describe this better; I would tune and get my noks both above and below dead on over my existing serving, then I would serve it again over the...

    New Benchmade Meatcrafter- 4" blade

    Its the age old question; Get a cheap knife and touch it up a couple times while doing an animal……or get a more expensive high quality steel knife that holds an edge all the way through doing an animal. Ive done a single elk complete without touch up with the benchmade S30v. I’ve done 2 elk...
