Yeah I’m honestly disappointed in another derailed Rokslide thread. I read all 10 pages, and while Zac certainly wasn’t perfect, I agreed with him most of the way through… or at least the points he was trying to make. He got ganged up on and said a few things he shouldn’t have in the end.
I...
Everyone at the pro shop told me there was a TINY chance of a limb failure, before I actually purchased my lift. “No doubt you would ever have to warranty it” were the exact words they used. 5 months and a few thousand arrows through it, they cracked and made a noise when they went out. 70...
If it works fine for you, then that’s really all that matters.
What If you took 2 different hunters, with the same draw weight and length. One was looking for mule deer in the high country, and one looking for Roosevelt elk, in dark timber. Wouldn’t you recommend they shoot a different arrow...
Gosh, I wouldn’t say pretty easy to do, but you are right. I’m pushing 520gr at 281FPS with 75# and 30”. the reason I asked, is because I knew 520 at 290 was definitely on the upper end of things… just interesting to see what other people are at.
Thanks for starting the thread Jotis. I do not have an answer for you, regarding the HLR.
I haven’t been in the archery game for too long, so take my opinion for what it is. I started filling tags a few years ago, with a 250$ bear bow I got on Craigslist. Wrong draw length and everything...
I never even came close to saying a 6mm was inadequate. You might be that category of person that defends little calibers like they are their own children, if you thought that’s what I was getting at. I shoot a 6.5 creed and love it. But a 338 Lapua is gonna hit harder and do more damage, sorry...
You don’t have any clue about terminal performance. You relate broadhead and arrow performance, to bullets. Arrows and broadheads kill with less than 100ft pounds of energy as you said yourself. Get archery off this thread … it’s nonsense. And it’s trashing this thread up.
I’ve killed with...
You gave me the worlds worst example of an arrow killing elk… then told me to “quit shitting up the thread with large caliber nonsense”. Because I’ve looked over plenty of animals shot with calibers from 6mm-338, and I’ve observed more damage with the larger calibers. Special was honestly the...
Yeah I tried just leaving a respectful comment with another user that I agreed with. 6mm 108gr bullets, won’t do as much damage as a 338 cal 300gr bullet. “Buddy” John told me to lay off the large caliber nonsense… I promise I’d be using bigger words, if we were in person.
I agree! I threw it in quotes, because you’re exactly right. Dead is dead. You can’t kill “better” if they both died. I’ve used 6mm and 338, they all work good. Special John doesn’t think so, but there is definitely a difference.
