    Trigger finger placement

    Check on Ebay. I just picked up mods for a 2011 Elite for $19.99. I would honestly go to a shop and shoot/pull back a couple bows with a slightly longer draw length. I have been shooting too short of a bow for the last 8 years and went to test drive some new bows and could immediately feel a...

    Broadhead recommendation

    If you don't want to put money into Iron Will's this year, I have seen some elk taken down really quickly with the Slick Trick Viper. $40 for 4

    Just tested the new Sevr 1.5 and 1.7--Wow

    Thank you for doing the review. The swiveling blade concept of cutting around bones is really interesting. The question is....is this the first mechanical you would trust on an elk, or are you still going to shoot fixed?

    HOYT HELIX ULTRA Review

    Interesting writing style/tone in your reply Tony. Obviously I know not to dry fire a bow...and yes I watched the video. I was asking if there is something special in Hoyt's design that helps it survive an accidental dry fire better then other bows as this is the first time I have heard of a...

    Matrix target

    The M2 certainly peaks my interest.

    HOYT HELIX ULTRA Review

    Read the posted review, thank you for putting it together. Two questions: What are you thoughts on the back wall? Do you just get used to it? I have been shooting Elite's recently and loved every single thing about the Helix Ultra except the back wall. Second, I had never heard of the Hoyt...

    Real hunting weight arrow speeds

    I have heard a lot lately that bows are the easiest to tune between 250-280. Maybe he feels the same? I have not tuned enough bows in my life to know if that is true or not. As a shooter around 250, do you notice much difference between 250 and 260? My arrows are still being built, so I do...

    Best d-loop material

    I just bought some BCY 23....gonna give it a try. I use a Hogg wiseguy release. Last year I moved away from the city and don't really have a bow shop close. So I purchased a bowmaster, some BCY 3d serving, and some different sized peeps. Going to have to learn how to do the simple stuff on...

    Best d-loop material

    How many of you just run a d-loop and how many tie on nock sets? Obviously, if your D-loop is wearing a lot and you are replacing it, having nock sets makes not having to re-tune much easier.

    Trigger finger placement

    Now is the time to do it. Might even get you an additional half inch of draw length if you shorten your release length and keep your same anchor point. That is probably the better approach...downside is you might need new arrows.

    Longer bows

    You western hunters/elk chasers, are you mostly shooting longer ATA bows to take advantage of the additional forgiveness? Other then a handful of ounces, I have not come up with a reason to shoot anything shorter then 35" ATA. Am I missing something? Also, short bows make me feel like I am...

    Real hunting weight arrow speeds

    Am I correct in recalculating this at almost 10fps below IBO rating?

    Another underspined n00b

    Thank you. Yes, I was planning on 250.

    Real hunting weight arrow speeds

    Seems like everyone is targeting close to the same speeds and weight for elk. I am building arrows now, looking to be around 260fps, 540g - 71.5#, 28.5"

    Another underspined n00b

    My IBO rating is 343....bow is probably in actuality doing 335-340. So 257-260 FPS at 540g. Arrow length is probably going to be 28"...the 540g is at 28". Arrow is 10.7g per inch. It seems like the spine charts don't account for more FOC from something like a 100g insert/outsert system.

    Another underspined n00b

    For the spine experts... 28.5" draw (bow might measure 28.75" 29" max., 71.8lbs, 6" Brace Height - Black Eagle Rampage, 250 spine, 100g BH, 100g FOCOS outsert system, 4 AAE Max Stealth Vanes, 10g nock - 540g total. Is that a proper spine? I went one stiffer due to the heavier weight up front...

    100 vs 125 Grain Broadhead

    Ohhh....466g is more then plenty for deer. If I was primarily a deer hunter, I would lean more toward speed to lessen the chance of error. My elk arrow is 540g at 260fps and ranging is extremely important. Smaller game...I would for sure be shooting like 425g.

    tightspot quiver.

    I never thought it was a big deal, but I do remove mine to put my bow in its case. I definitely think worse would be a two piece that I had to remove the arrows to put it in my case....I would need a different case then I have now. I always buy the absolutely smallest possible case I can for...
