    Arrow Penetration....

    Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner. This is the right answer, and it’s the answer that most people would come to if they were honest with themselves. Stacking broadheads in shorts and a t shirt on flat ground with a heart rate below 80 isn’t how you’re going to perform in the field. Sent from...

    What Slider should I get?

    Double pins are pretty great IMO. Getting that second pin around the 40 yard mark is the ticket. You then easily learn your holdover to 50. I wish someone would build a sight with spot Hogg durability (without the weight), axcel adjustment, and MBG pins. Until then, it’s a slight compromise on...

    Most people are missing the point that Australians (and really all of us) are in a battle to maintain their right to bow hunt. It’s not any different than blowmar’s bear video. It’s not illegal, but it has the potential to hurt us all. And it’s done in the spirit of selling products. That’s...

    The only thing you have to ask yourself is would this video have seen the light of day if not for trying to sell products? That’s all you need to know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Arrow Penetration....

    Again, I’ve only been involved in finding a couple hundred. . Maybe you have more experience. Two holes vs 1 hole hasn’t jumped out at me as the issue with not finding stuff. If you hit stuff if the pump house, it’s never really hard to find them. Hitting them back and losing blood is a...

    Arrow Penetration....

    My fixed heads fly just fine to 75ish yards before they start falling off due to drag. To quote Aron Snyder, “If my right nut depended on hitting something with a broadhead, I wouldn’t reach for a fixed head.” Pass throughs are here nor there for finding animals in my experience. Hit them in...

    Arrow Penetration....

    It’s really easy to make a fixed blade not hit behind the pin. You can torque the grip, pull into the wall a different way than you typically do, execute your release differently. . . All things that happen when shooting on 30 degree slopes out of breath or at an awkward angle on a cold November...

    Arrow Penetration....

    You’re rationalizing why a small COC head is better. I’ve killed about 100 critters with bow and arrow and been a part of helping to find just as many. Hitting them in the lungs kills them, in short order. Well designed mechs hit behind the pin more often than anything fixed. Nothing gets...

    Arrow Penetration....

    Of course they die, but finding them is the issue. Tiny holes with gut shot critters doesn’t bode well to finding them. Big holes do. 28+” of draw length, 65+ pounds, 425+ grain arrow coming out of a tuned bow there’s just no compelling argument to shoot a fixed head over a well designed...

    Arrow Penetration....

    The flip side to that is there a plenty of instances where a bigger hole with more cutting surface would have resulted in finding animals. No one is going through an elks shoulder knuckle, definitely not with any regularity. I’ve had a really heavy arrow from a fast bow, longish draw length...

    Stove on a day hunt

    I enjoy eating my dinner earlier in the evening and just going to sleep once I get back to camp after dark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Arrow Penetration....

    Mechanicals hit behind the pin more often than fixed heads. Not hitting behind the pin is the fastest way to lose critters. If you’ve got the energy, and you can tune your bow, I just fail to see the upsides to a fixed blade. Edit: most people, even professionals, can’t perfectly hold it...

    New Sitka drop

    I think you’re picking fly s*** out of chili between the 3 in black and white. And the new pattern will get lost in the sauce too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When you buy a New one what do you do with the old one?

    A lift would be at the bottom of the list next to two thousand teens bowtechs if lack of warranty/customer service for busted limbs are a concern. Mathews will warranty the lift limbs for anyone, but if your dealer sucks. . . I’d stay away from the lift either way. A warranty doesn’t do you a...

    When you buy a New one what do you do with the old one?

    Buy a year or two old gently used or new in box bow, a last chance archery ez green press, a bow vice, and an arrow saw. You’ll never have to go to a shop again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
