What’s everyone using for rain gear?
Kuiu north ridge is plenty for whitetails. The heavier stuff is for busting brush. I’ve sat through some absolutely ridiculous, need your head checked for sitting in a tree, rain and been bone dry underneath the north ridge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- fatlander

New Sitka drop
There’s only so many ways to skin a cat. If you’re getting busted because of your camo pattern, you’re getting busted anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Pin allowance/ margin for error
I think you’re asking a question that has a much simpler answer if you use the right terminology. You need to know how to HOLD OVER accordingly based on your PIN GAPS to put arrows in the boiler room. It’s really that simple. I’ve got a 20 and 35 yard pin on my whitetail setup. I know where... -
Pin allowance/ margin for error
Before the multiple pin single post sights gained the popularity that they have today, I had one pin set at 27 yards. 29” draw, 74#, 480ish grain arrow, and I was easily able to cover everything from 0-35. I can do 0-50 with the double pin set up one of my bows and 0-45 on the other. Granted I... -
Sitka Stratus
I’ve had everything whitetail from Sitka except for the incinerator. What I finally settled on was this for colder temps: Stratus bibs Fanatic vest Traverse hoody (think the whitetail line is equinox) Heavy base layers. That gets me down into the low 20s just fine. It’s not ever that cold...- fatlander

Iron Will 2.5 Vane
These look pretty awesome. Q2i has definitely become my favorite vane over time. They stick like nothing else, stiffer than most, and their colors really pop. As quiet as max stealth but as stable as a blazer profile sounds like an absolute winner. Are you all going to offer it in any other... -
Ultraview 1K Arrows
Because he was there killing for content (KFC) to sell the ridiculously over priced arrows that don’t have the spine sizes or components available to build a buffalo arrow. KFC >>> ETHICS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Sight that holds zero
If I had to bet every dollar to my name on a sight sustaining abuse it would be on a spot hogg hunter or grinder. Hoggs are built like tanks. A rigid mount fixed pin spot hogg is the most robust sight you’ll find. I’ve got an axcel landslyde on one of my bows and an MBG dual trac on another at... -
Quick Tips Archery Elk
Stop elk, especially the ones coming into calls. I had a bull coming into calling a few years ago that was standing in front of a blowdown a down as still as a statue at 25 yards. At the moment my shot was breaking, he leapt over that blow down in a fraction of a second like a gazelle. I... -
Broadhead tuning
With the cost of shipping and duties from Canada to the States and back, buying a press would be cheaper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Broadhead tuning
I’d keep going. You don’t really have any other option besides shimming the cam or swapping limb configuration around, which you can’t do at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Broadhead tuning
I’m not saying it’s the broadhead, because you’ve also the tail left through paper verifying what you’re seeing, but basing any tuning off of just one head isn’t a great idea. I’d get that paper tune tear figured out then shoot the broadheads. You need to be moving your rest right (away from... -
Broadhead tuning
Sounds like a bow shop really close to me. What state are you in. I’d be more than happy to help you out. I’ve got an archery shop in my garage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
First elk hunt gear list and questions
I’d pay attention to your water storage/delivery that time of year. Frozen hoses and nozzles would be expected that late in the year. Agree with everyone that said go warmer on bag/pad. I wouldn’t count on your all of your layers keeping you warm that late in the year. Decent chance they’re... -
Sold Hoyt Carbon Element RKT
I just put a set of strings on one of these for a buddy recently. That bow was so far ahead of its time. I shot the heck out of it for a few days, and was blown away by how good that bow still is. Looks like you took awesome care of this one. Someone is getting a great set up. Sent from my...- fatlander

G5 Deadmeat vs QAD Exodus
At your specs, there’s no way I’d be worried about a deer scapula. You’re putting more energy into the dirt on the other side of deer than needed with a fixed head. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Spot Hogg triple stack question
The MBG double pin has a smaller adjustment range than the FE triple stack. Depending on your bows speed, you might not get 20/35 split on the MBG. I’d make sure you’ve got enough travel in the pin you’re not removing before you do it. Personally, I’d remove the middle pin on the triple stack... -
Broadhead (fixed vs mechanicals)
Agree with all of this! A short, high profile vane in a 3 fletch with decent offset will make fixed heads fly with field tips out of a bow that’s not perfectly tuned. That’s enough for me to never shoot anything else hunting, because they’re more forgiving. Q2i is top of the heap in my... -
Broadhead (fixed vs mechanicals)
I think we can all agree that hitting what you’re aiming at is the goal. Lost animals, in my experience, overwhelmingly come from not hitting what you were aiming for. What arrow system gives you the highest likelihood of hitting what you’re aiming at? A moderately weighted (420-500 grains)...
