    What's your lightest arrow for hunting?

    I put my arrow on a scale, and they weight 410 grains TAW. I have consistent pass throughs on elk with a 3 blade broadhead.

    Which sight?

    Check out the CBE Trek Pro. They offer it several pin options.

    Which traditional arrows?

    I have been looking pretty close at the Easton carbon legacy arrows. I have always shot 5 feathers so I am not sure how much difference there would be with the 4" that comes on them. might just have to buy some and find out.

    Stick on elevated rest vs shooting off the shelf

    I shoot off the shelf. I shoot instinctive and like the arrow as close to my hand as I can get it. Also, it is simple and never breaks down.

    How many strings do you go through each year?

    I make my own strings. My recurve uses fast stings. I’ve bought 2 big spools 20ish years ago and still have plenty. I put a new string about mid summer and use the old one for back up. On my homemade self bows I use linen strings. They don’t last long so I change them 2-3 times a year.

    Feedback from BOA release owners

    I have had good success with a boa strap. My wise guy has about 3000 shot on it and going strong still.

    Which traditional arrows?

    I have been shooting wooden arrows (mostly Port Orford Cedar) in all of my trad bows, for years now. I have thinking about trying something new. What arrows are you guys using? What do you like about them.

    Tuning process

    I with a new bow by making sure my brace height is where i want it to be. I'm looking for the sweet spot where my bow gets fairly quiet. After that, I put on the weight of head I intend to use and shoot a bare shaft. I cut off 1/4" at a time until the bare shaft is hitting nice and straight into...

    Fixed broadhead tuning - longer distance

    I agree with this statement. bare shafts have almost no drag compared to an arrow with fletching and Broadhead increases drag a bit more. Also, broadheads a typically longer that field points which changes the FOC. At some point downrange the higher FOC will cause the nose of the arrow to nose...

    Insert question

    If FOC is your goal, then brass inserts will be shorter for the same weight and will give you a higher FOC. Brass will also cost more. I personally haven't had any issues with aluminum inserts but i don't shoot 4mm arrows with a half-out.

    Elk Broadhead Suggestions for Low Poundage Archers

    I'd say shoot whichever fixed blade broadhead you like. I've seen a lot of elk killed with bows shooting slower than your dads. I wouldn't trouble over it too much. more important would be a good sharp broadhead that hods together and shoots good. There is a plethora of heads out there, as I'm...
