    Arrow sizes

    I shoot .204's Just the vanilla victory RIP's. I get a dozen for practice and a dozen for hunting. Honestly, most of the .003's can be cut to as good as the .001's. I just use the stainless inserts that come with it. I don't hot melt them. I actually use epoxy. With so many configurations and...

    How is fierce doing?

    I have one of the old Fierce Fury's but it was made in Canada not Utah. Mine has had zero issues and definitely shoots sub 1/2 MOA with the recommended round. My buddy however has one of the newer ones made in Utah. He had all of the same issues with the extractor as everyone else. He also had...

    Mathews Lift

    If you wrap the ultraview grip with lizard skin tape (the thick one) it feels amazing at full draw. Plus if you're sweating you won't have any slip. I thought the UV grip was great until I wrapped it. 100% better wrapped.

    Terrible custom build experience

    Currently the rifle isn't as good as a Savage walmart rifle/scope combo. It makes me wonder how they developed a load for it... They would have caught those problems if they would have shot it. How do they develop a load and determined the OAL of the round without shooting it? How did they...

    Can company keep my last bonus?

    If your compensation is actually defined as pro/sal I would assume you should be able to get the money as long as you hit the goal during the time period that was stated in your contract. If not, I doubt it. Even if you could I don't think it would be worth getting a lawyer involved. If your...

    Elevation change to stop other hunters

    I tend to intentionally go to places that look nasty on maps because that’s the only place I find critters. With that said, the first elk I ever harvested , on my last pack out I saw a nice bull about 200 yards from the trailhead . My gf at the time happened to have a rifle with her and took...

    Carry pack weight after appendectomy

    I had one several years ago and was im the couch for about a week. Day 2 I was trying to figure out if it was worth the discomfort to get up and go to the bathroom (bathroom won). However, I was pretty sick by the time I got to surgery. I was back in the gym lifting at about 6 weeks I think...

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    That doesn’t sound odd at all. With a rifle I can stop and come back and not much changes. But I see what you mean. I may go do that this weekend. There is a rifle range about 6 miles from my archery range.

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    Normal chit chat in the background never bothers me but I can totally see that situation bugging me for sure . I don’t really get buck fever anymore but if someone was doing something annoying I’m pretty sure my shooting would fall apart . I actually started archery as an outlet to calm my mind...

    Evolution Outdoors Jekyll & Hyde

    I tried the fixed last year and they shot right with my grim reaper micro hades. I took a whitetail in November with it and it seemed to do well. I did have to take the blades to a whetstone just a little bit. The 3 I got were sharp but did need some touch up. It was probably just the batch I...

    TAC Short Axle to Axle

    I shot in Oklahoma this last weekend with my v3 31. My friends I was with were shooting their target bows. I was able to get out to 85 no problem. I just started shooting again after a 3 month hiatus and I am shooting like trash. I only lost 5 arrows and did 3 courses. I personally cant...

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    I had to take a break from archery after hunting season. Time just didn't allow for it. I was doing pretty well last year with shooting and I was shooting 3-4 days a week at the range. Fast forward to late March I picked up my bows to shoot and man it was bad. Arrow flight is good, paper tears...

    Your Elk Hunting Rifle

    Last 2 bulls were with a 28 nosler. The ones before that were with a 300 win mag. I hunt deer and hogs with a 7-08. I moved to the 7's because they feel more comfortable to shoot . At least thats what I tell myself lol. I really want to take an elk with the rifle my dad got me for my 12th...

    Vets refusing to work on hunting dogs

    One of my clients is in infectious disease and has shown me a lot of the BS they go through too. It pretty interesting how the profession share a lot of the same red tape and stresses . I do work with a newer grad that is fairly "Woke". She is a cool person but we do see things differently. I...
