Kuhl Wyldefire?
Thanks, that's helpful. I'm 5'10" 185, depending on the holiday. Sitka L is great for me, Kuiu L is ok, starting to get a little snug in the shoulders, depending on the garment. The Wyldefire may be dead on for me. Edited: I see on the Kuhl website that an XL is for chest size 44-46, that may... -

Kuhl Wyldefire?
Hi Folks! Does anyone have experience with the Kuhl Wyldefire jacket? I have several camo items from Sitka and Kuiu, but nothing from Kuhl. I'm looking for a solid color winter jacket I can wear around town without layering (into the 20s F). I love my Sitka Jetstream, but want something a... -

New Kryptek, Wierd Smell?
Hello Everyone, I just received a new Kryptek Cronos 1/2 zip T. Looks well-made and fits nice. Hopefully will serve me well for years. But it has this weird chemical smell that's kinda strong. Is this normal? Before I remove the tags, will the smell wash out in the laundry? Thanks in... -

Recommend Me a Used Bow
Keep an eye on the classifieds in the Archertalk forum. I've bought several bows through there for quite cheap. As far as which bow, that's a pretty subjective answer. I've shot a TON of bows over the years and came to a single conclusion: they're all really good, it's just a matter of which... -

Weed eater string to increase arrow weight
Yep, I was around when carbons 1st came out, they were geared more for comp shooters than hunters because they were so light. I still used aluminum for a a while because I couldn't afford to run 2 different setups for comp and hunting. Carbons weren't quite as durable then as they are now... -

Weed eater string to increase arrow weight
Ok, smart-asses I can deal with. Especially ones that try back yard hacks to get arrow weight up instead of choosing the right shaft to begin with. Anything added to the arrow, regardless of location, will change the arrow dynamics. Trimmer line, by the way, will work as a tiny shock absorber... -

Weed eater string to increase arrow weight
Well, that's just rude. Yes, I hit 10 posts. Yes, I'm new to this forum. I've also been shooting in competition archery for over 30 years. Anything else you'd like to assume or is everyone in this forum rude to new folks? -

Weed eater string to increase arrow weight
Correct, but you just use an even heavier point, then grind it down. For comp, I weighed every point, insert, nock & fetched shaft so my weights didn't vary more than a half grain total. Took about an extra hour or so in arrow building, but was worth it. -

Weed eater string to increase arrow weight
When I was in competition, I would use my arrow scale to weigh every arrow and dremel to grind a bit off the back of each point to get them all within what I wanted. It was very anal but still seems a lot easier than messing with trimmer string. -

Release Maintenance
Unless I got caught in a downpour, I didn't even lube my releases. Never had an issue. Wonder what happened here.
