    PhoneScope Video hit or miss?

    Hit There is no space above the vitals but below the spine. Guessing you were over the spine. The top of the lungs are actually slightly above the bottom of the spinal column.

    Cooking knives

    I think you exceeded the definition of the word “run” by applying it to kitchen stuff. That’s about like doing a grilled cheese “build”. We have some fancy knives but for some reason I just love the Victronox.

    Dealing with lyme disease

    Guessing and betting, the very foundation of the scientific method.

    Dealing with lyme disease

    Did the woman explain the 5,300 year old mummy found in Italy that was found to have the genetic material for the bacteria that causes Lyme disease?

    Dealing with lyme disease

    From what I have read a single 200 mg dose of doxy can be effective in preventing Lyme if administered up to 72 hours after a tick bite. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11450675/

    RokStok

    Shot mine this AM, a big improvement over the factory stock both in terms of ergonomics and felt recoil, seemed to be a decent bit less even with the thinner pad. The only downside i experienced is the negative comb contacts my ear muffs.

    Mandatory Harvest Reporting

    IA has a similar system, works well. The CA countersigning reg is dumb. You may only transport your deer from the field for the purpose of transporting it to the nearest person who holds a certain title so they can counter-sign the tag. Many who can don’t even know the state grants them that...

    Mandatory Harvest Reporting

    We have a physical tag counter-signing requirement as well, but the way the regulation is structured is a train-wreck. You are essentially required to take a deer directly to have your tag countersigned before transporting it elsewhere, but that is different from harvest reporting.

    Mandatory Harvest Reporting

    Not that I am proposing that other states emulate what CA does, but we have a mandatory reporting requirement for all tags. Kills need to be reported online within 30 days of harvest and there is mandatory reporting for all tags (even if unsuccessful) by 1/31. If the reporting requirement is not...

    Fixed broadhead tuning - longer distance

    Not at all. What you learned is that arrows with more drag (fletchings or fletching plus exposed blades) drop more over distance because they decelerate more quickly, and you are mis-attributing that added drop to your rest launching low resistance arrows higher.

    Broadhead Flight

    This. Not to mention lots of guys really cannot read subtleties in paper tears and call things bullet holes that aren’t. Shooting paper or bare shafts get you close, but FBBH’s tell you what is really going on.

    Broadhead Flight

    You may be looking at 2 different variable sets and confusing one for the other. What you are experiencing is not normal in general, but it also could be due to the newer strings creeping or the serving settling in the cams.

    RokStok

    Got mine today, fit and finish was good and the grip/fore-end texture is just right (even the straight cerakote has some texture to it). The only minor complain is the barrel is slightly off-center in the barrel channel. Cheek weld is a big improvement over factory with SM mediums. The RS with...
