    One bow, multiple setups?

    Why not make your heavy setup on one bow and the light setup on the other? I ran a different arrow on my backup. I have no plans of hunting bear or caribou, but if you were not going too heavy you could tune both bows to shoot a moderate arrow; and use that arrow for everything. Sent from my...

    Paper tune question

    Assuming the center shot is at manufacturer’s recommendation (often 13/16”), ready has proper clearance when it falls (in the case of drop-away), and the cam timing is on, I’d work with the yolks to produce the right cam lean to center that nock tear. Adjust the nock point for up and down tear...

    To wax or not to wax

    I don’t wax anymore at all, particularly since going to custom strings from Wicked Twisted Bowstrings using Bloodline Fibers. Bloodline uses a proprietary coating that renders the fibers waxless. If you’d like to try a set feel free to use my 10% off discount code “DC” at checkout...

    .204 Stainless Outsert Options

    His tolerances aren’t better, but he centers the insert with his chamfering tool. You’re correct about his recommendation to spin the epoxy for equal coverage and positioning them point up to cure. His premise is that the HIT method doesn’t lend itself to centered installation when lying flat or...

    .204 Stainless Outsert Options

    I don’t really disagree, I don’t think the differences in the results are as far apart as the distinctions. In both cases, it’s sort of like “a solution looking for a problem” to me. I haven’t broken any arrows at the insert, nor do I shoot well enough to see the difference in a couple .001...

    Non-Concentricity would be problem every shot. Structural integrity would mostly be an issue on bad, angled hits on hard surfaces. I guess you have to pick your poison. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    True. Firenock solves the problem by using a reverse chamfer that centers the insert. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The entire Firenock series has been tremendous. I’m considering the Firenock half out, but I’d like to hear the .204 episode first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gotcha. The blowouts you describe wouldn’t really bother me on a recovered animal. Also, I have excellent targets that I don’t think I could shoot through. @StraightWayOutdoors Straight Way Outdoors, Fulcrum Archery, Elite Archery, Upwind Odor Elimination, Wicked Twisted Bowstrings, Pine Ridge...

    What is your process for choosing an arrow?

    My selection is rooted in my experiences and what makes sense for my goals. I tend towards a few principles - the middle ground, fairly ubiquitous components and tools, good tolerances, good performance, and reasonable prices. I used to use standard ID arrows, but I wanted less wind resistance...

    Were these blow outs on a target, animal, or from some hard impact like a rock or tree? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bow wax

    I agree, especially Bloodline Fibers. They‘EE manufactured with a coating that renders them waxless. The amount you shoot and the environment your strings are exposed to have somthuto do with in my opinion. It’s hard for me to imagine that a dusty environment can be good for waxed strings...

    Bow wax

    When I waxed a couple years back, I used String Snot. Ive since changed to having Wicked Twisted Bowstrings build me custom sets from Bloodline Fibers. They make a coated, waxless fiber. Good stuff! Feel free to use my 10% off discount code “DC” at checkout...

    Arrow build help

    Similar thing happened to me about 5 years ago. Shop had my draw length wrong and borderline on spine. Once I corrected my draw length, I was way underspined. If you’re going to build your own arrows, I’d recommend getting software like Archer’s Advantage or others. It’s about the cost of a...
