    What bow for a 73 year old Elk hunter?

    Species would be mostly for Elk hunting but maybe some occasional deer or pig too. I have a Montana Combo tag for 23 so working and dieting to get in shape. I've lost 14 lbs and walking every day. I'm about 5'10 and was 199 but now down to 185. I want to get at least down to the 170's but...

    What bow for a 73 year old Elk hunter?

    I was just watching a youtube review by Mikes archery for the Mach 34 but with the S2 cam. For sure not the smoothest cam but does have great performance.

    What bow for a 73 year old Elk hunter?

    Though the Carbon stealth is several years old it is one of the bows I'm considering plus being used is cheaper too.

    What bow for a 73 year old Elk hunter?

    I've looked at the RX7 and it looks like a great bow as does the Mathews Phase 4. But I am a little put off by them because they are average weight. I know some of the integrated rest and sights might save a bit of weight but I feel a little better about getting a bow that is lighter than...

    What bow for a 73 year old Elk hunter?

    I do like a PSE Bow! I feel like they are under rated. I feel like they are solid shooters and above average quality. I don't generally follow the latest in bow's till I need a new bow then I research everything like crazy. I see most of the top rated bows continue to improve in some way every...

    What bow for a 73 year old Elk hunter?

    Hi, I am 73 and presently use a PSE Evoke 35" bow. I like it but don't love it. It's a bit long and a bit heavy for me. I'm average height (5'9ish) about 180 and my DL is about 27.5. I'm drawing about 62lbs and it may be all I want though I shoot almost every day and 62 is getting easier and...

    Aluminum or carbon fiber arrows?

    Wow. Nothing personal but I didn't even know they still made aluminum arrows. I had to go back and look at the date of your post as I thought I might be reading a post from the 1970's. I used aluminum way back in the day but they seemed to bend a little pretty easily. Not so much with Carbon...

    Official Montana 2023 Draw Thread!

    I printed out what I assumed was my tag but it didn't include a carcass tag. I had emailed Montana and they responded they are in the process of sending them out but that was 2 weeks ago. Does anyone know if Montana normally supplies a Carcass tag? I feel sorry for the hunters who didn't...

    Sold PSE EVO EVL 32

    I can't pull 70 lbs and am a Lefty but it's a nice looking bow. I like PSE and have an Evoke. I know this model was a top of the line model.

    Iron Will Vane - Personal Feedback

    You might take a look at the DCA Super Sabre vanes. Reviews are really good. I just ordered some so I really can't speak yet to their durability just passing on to you a potential option.

    Another arrow spine question but maybe dumber?

    I'm working on the very basics right now, form, increasing arm strength. My accuracy at this point isn't good enough to worry about dialing in not that I would know how to anyway. I enjoy the shooting but after my western hunts I generally quit shooting till I know I have a tag the following...

    Another arrow spine question but maybe dumber?

    Thanks, My earlier attempts at building my own arrows I didn't even strive to be consistent other than weight. But when I bought my first spine aligned arrows I thought there must be a reason so I did and still do use their suggested alignment. However, I did read the other recent thread as to...

    Another arrow spine question but maybe dumber?

    My question is: Once you think you know where the arrow spine is how do you orient the fletch that is placed along the line of Alignment? I ask because I'm one of the dummies that assumes that the alignment line on an arrow is correct. So for this question just play along and assume the line...

    What happened with Victory Xtorsion Arrows?

    I went to Iron Will and ended up purchasing some Hit inserts and what they call "Impact Collars" for the xtorsions. I also bought a few 125 gn single bevel blades. Watching their video's convinced me.

    What happened with Victory Xtorsion Arrows?

    You are probably right. I have mostly 300 spine. Per the info above the RIP 300's have a narrower OD and the RIP 250 has a larger OD but in measuring the OD of my Xtorsion spines they look to be the same as the 300 spine RIPSS at .272 and I know I could sand off the ends slightly and probably...

    What happened with Victory Xtorsion Arrows?

    Apparently, but that's kinda the problem.

    What happened with Victory Xtorsion Arrows?

    I'm kind of a seasonal archer and sometimes away for more than just a season. But I'm getting ready for a archery Montana Elk hunt. I was getting low on my Elk arrows which are Victory XtorsionSS. So I find a great deal on ebay for a dozen plus of 300 spine Extorsions. So I go to buy...

    Official Montana 2023 Draw Thread!

    Our group initially appeared to be unsuccessful early on draw day, later in day it showed two of us (both have 2 points) were successful but 3rd guy with only 1 point didn't draw. After reading this post again I figured I best confirm that 2 of us were actually successful and after checking...
