    Arrow wrap length overlapping arrow rest

    None of you guys feel like the benefit of wraps in terms of blood ID outweighs replacing 2 additional vanes? (legit question, not trying to stir the pot)

    Arrow wrap length overlapping arrow rest

    I'd prefer that, but like I said removing a vane was a pain in the arse! What's your secret? What fletching glue and what solvent to remove it?

    Arrow wrap length overlapping arrow rest

    HAHAHA I love all the responses. I must say I was not expecting all the "why?!" posts, though I should have known better seeing how I get that 10x a day from my 11 YO. Here's the context/history. I started building my own arrows a couple of years ago. First ones with no wrap, and had a hell of a...

    Arrow wrap length overlapping arrow rest

    So I'm running a 10 inch wrap (matte onestringer FWIW) on my arrows, which is long enough that my QAD drop away rest arm rides on the wrapped section. I've noticed some "fuzzy" residue on the felt of the rest arm, and I'm wondering whether I need to forget the long wraps and stick to wraps that...

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    Here's hoping. As you say there are really no good m77 options out there, and none in left hand. HS Precision is supposedly coming out with one based on the Hawkeye FTW but it's still a shorter, with no vertical grip, and definitely no negative comb.

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    In one of the podcasts I recall Jake and Ryan saying there will be Rokstoks for any inlet Stockys has. I'm curious what you think the headwinds are?

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    I'm still praying for Rokstoks for Ruger M77 Mkii/hawkeye left hand LA and SA!

    Rokstok review thread

    Amazing, thanks for this info. I was thinking I'd go with one of the two non-carbon stocks, TR2 or C6 IIRC. To get the recoil pad adjustability--the short 12.5 LOP version of either of those. Definitely a weight penalty though. Really hadn't thought about the "width" issue when the stock is...

    Rokstok review thread

    @T_Widdy can you expand on the comparison between the Rokstok and the XLR? I'm sold on the Rokstok's ergonomics but after my hunt last fall in NW Montana, hiking through a lot of thick timber, I feel like the folding stock is a huge benefit, and it's making me take a second look at the XLR. It...

    Looking for Ontario moose outfitter, 2025 or 2026

    I'm interested in this too. My buddy is champing at the bit for moose, Ontario seems like a good spot that's close(r) to where we live by car. Manitoba is further away, Quebec has a one moose per two hunter requirement (seems like a way to ruin a friendship) and Newfoundland is surprisingly far...

    RokStok

    ...and now it works. Try clearing your cache (ctrl+shift+R in Google Chrome). That seemed to work for me. It's been happening on and off for me for the last couple of weeks. I chalked it up to a security setting, and added UM to my safe sites, but it's still randomly happening.

    I'm having the same issue.

    Yes, you cam run a smaller contour barrel such as the tikka factory contour in the larger inlet, you'll just have more dead cat space.

    7mm-08 and 162 ELD-M

    Very nice! What muzzle velocity were the 162 ELD-Xs coming out of your 7mm RM?

    Dumb question, what's LE?

    So it sounds like it would increase LOP by a 1/2 inch. I was hoping to maintain 13.5 LOP. Might just need to get one as is in that case. 😉 It's been tough to resist so far!

    Is it official that a 1 inch recoil pad version is in the works?

    Let us know how she shoots!

    Yep, thanks for catching that. Half a glass of wine and I can't type apparently

    7mm-08 and 162 ELD-M

    On the shoot2hunt podcast @Ryan Avery has said multiple times that in 7mm the eld-X performs much worse teeminally than in other calibers. Maybe he can speak to the best killing bullets at 7mm08 velocities...I'm asking selfishly 😜
