    Suggestions for a TAW app

    Archers Advantage has pretty much everything you could want IMO for $12/year, which is really nothing. You can build and spec pretty much any combo of shafts and components, there’s the spine selector, you can generate accurate sight tapes, print targets and more. Not the most intuitive and...

    BE Rampage Build - Durability Concerns?

    Thanks for the replies so far. Looks like I might go with RIP TKOs. Cost isn't a huge factor, I just don't like spending money if there's an equal quality product for less, but sounds like the TKO's are worth it. As far as collars, I'm not totally opposed, I've just always tried to keep things...

    BE Rampage Build - Durability Concerns?

    I shoot 70 lbs @ 31" and am looking to build an all around arrow for elk and deer sized game. I'm looking to switch from my current arrow setup, which for a few seasons has been: 30" 250 spine 5mm FMJ 50 grain brass HIT 100 grain head max stealth 3 fletch. Total arrow weight ~535 grains w/...

    Good Budget For A First Bow

    My recommendation, as with everything whether archery, golf, shooting, etc. is that the money spent on learning right from the start is worth way more than having better equipment and not knowing how to use it. So with that said, I would allocate some money towards taking some lessons from a...

    Bow scale

    I've been using LCA. When I was looking, none seemed to have killer reviews but I trust LCA's other products so went that route.

    How many bows do you own?

    Two, I have a Hoyt Axius Ultra and just picked up an Xpedition DLX to play with and set up as a backup. @Elkdreamer The reviews on those new Athens make them seem like an absolute winner. I'd be interested to hear how you like it after a little while.

    Easton HIT brass install tips

    The tool from Easton has worked fine for me and I pretty much just follow their instructions. Don't overdo it with the epoxy, wipe the tool every arrow or two to prevent excess epoxy build up. I seat with one end of the tool and then use the other to test that it stayed seated.

    2022 Bows

    For guys asking about the RX6, Hoyt seems to skip a number when they redesign the riser. They skipped RX2 and now skipped RX6 and both times were when they redesigned the riser. Could just be a coincidence, but maybe it's on purpose, idk

    New Incinerator Aerolite

    Thanks for the replies. I pulled the trigger on the Fanatic set. Got the bibs and jacket on sale right now for ~$600 all in, which seems like a pretty solid deal. Supposed to be in the low 20s near me this weekend so hopefully it's here by then so I can test it out.

    New Incinerator Aerolite

    How are you layering the Fanatic in the 20s? I'm looking for a new colder weather set, say 15-35, and am kinda torn between Fanatic and FL Sanctuary. My concern is the Sanctuary might be too warm in the 20s and low 30s, especially the days when it starts below 30 but might get into the mid 40s...

    2021 Best Whitetail Photo Contest, sponsored by First Lite

    I think shooting a deer so big I have to buy a camera might be a new goal haha. Congrats on an awesome deer!

    Grim Reaper Broadheads and Easton FMJs

    I've been using FMJ's the past two years. I don't use the BAR and have run into issues with mushrooming on the front of the shaft when practicing with broadheads in a foam target, including whitetail specials, so if you do go the FMJ route I would think you would want the BAR. Some guys also use...

    Tough shot

    Not a shot that I would take. From that angle, best case scenario is what, a spine shot that might need a follow up? You made the right call imo

    9 year old first deer hunt with a rifle, any suggestions!

    .243 is more than enough. It’s what I started off with as a kid and while it’s not my go to, I still grab it from time to time when heading out.

    The problem with tree saddles

    This is my first season using a saddle, but so far I've gotten away with more movement than I've ever been able to while using a climber or hang on. I think this is due to (1) less noise compared to standing up or moving in the climber, where you're rubbing the tree or stand, (2) as "woods"...

    Sharpening German Kinetics (curved broadheads)

    Hey guys, Does anyone have any tips for me on sharpening the GK SilverFlames? I was given a few heads by a friend and after practicing and tuning with a couple of them, I'm struggling to get them sharpened back up. I don't have much experience with premium heads, but when new these might have...

    Thanks for posting, I didn't realize they rescheduled the event. I'll probably register. Not sure what courses I'll try to run.

    Target panic and the Silverback release

    I was someone who could shoot great with an index release on targets, but after punching the trigger on two deer last fall and making marginal shots (both went down quick but I wasn't happy with how far from my aiming point I was missing and the fact that my shot routine completely fell apart...

    Archery rangefinders - what to look for?

    Not as up-to-date on specific models, but for bowhunting I would highly recommend getting a unit with a red display. Makes a world of difference in my opinion.
