I cut 6 inches off the insert end of an old arrow and use that for a handle to sharpen broadheads. I like a fine grit diamond stone for sharpening pretty much everything. I have the electric work sharp but mainly use that for axes and the lawnmower blades. I did get work sharp guided field...
I've been chasing that perfect bow too. Been through over 20 bows and had up to 8 at one time, but I have them slimmed down to 4 now. My main one is a stalker wolverine, but I think I'd prefer a 2 or 3 piece longbow. A 2 piece Toelke whip, whistler, or chinook is what I'm looking for now.
A micarta riser toelke whip would be the main thing I'd want to trade for. 45-50 pounds and 62-64 inches. May also be interested in first lite sanctuary bibs and coat in medium or large, prefer fusion.
Jackal FXT with static recurve limbs. 49@28 62" Has side inserts for quiver. Great northern quiver comes with it if you cover the PayPal fees. Limbs are 9/10 riser is 7/10. Looking for 500tyd
You must be close to me if you're going to Brownells. If you are in fact in central Iowa and Brownells doesn't get you straightened out talk to Michael at Controlled Chaos Arms by Baxter. He should be able to get you fixed up.
We hunted that zone last year and didn't see a single elk... Talked to a forest service guy when we got there and he told us to go down a certain creek until we got to the burn. We got to the burn and saw no elk and no elk sign. Ran into a local that offered to take me to his hot spot. He drug...
It wasn't on a luxe, but I've used a tube of silicone and some mineral spirits to make my own and its held up fine for going on 4 years on two different tents. I just squeeze some silicone in a cheap plastic bowl, add some mineral spirits and mix well with a popsicle stick. Just add more of one...
Outdoor vitals. Treated 800+ down and lifetime warranty. 20 degree is less than $200 and 0 degree is less than $250. I have the older, untreated one and have had good luck with it.
I haven't tried many tents, but I really like my half dome 2 plus. I'm not packing it several miles in though. Enough room for me, my wife, and the dog for one or two nights and is the perfect amount of space for one guy and gear for longer trips. I did three 9-10 day elk hunts out of mine and...
I wear a 31x36 in wranglers and can wear the size 32 attacks fine without them being let out. They're just a tad short when I sit down, but standing/walking is fine. I like the pants, but also get "pulls" on them from thorns. I've had 2 pairs for 3 years and they're still holding up though. Also...
I like the whip and I really want to try a chinook. I have a super d now and it's my favorite d style bow. I think a 2 piece whip or chinook would be hard to beat.
