    Iron Will Wides

    I switched away from the vented wides for whitetail. They're louder than I liked.

    When are you all starting your scouting?

    Some of us mortals have to do this crazy thing where we drive 14+ hours two days before the season starts, hike our ass back into an area, and find deer right then and there. Fun stuff!

    Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills

    I've been using 168gr TTSX out of a 30-06AI for 12-15 years now. They kill deer and elk just fine, but I do notice animals take a little longer (10-15 seconds) to fall over dead when I shoot them past 300 yards. On the flip side I've never seen deer fall over faster than when I shot Hornady...

    Bump to 300 spine?

    1. Hook shape is important for string torque. That's not something I can assess by where you lay the string on your open fingers 2. A clean release needs to "just happen" while you're at full draw. If you are thinking about the act of releasing an arrow, it isn't going to be as clean, This is a...

    Cold Bow 2024.... QnA Thread

    Just going to point something out that should be obvious, but maybe it isn't... DONT STOP SHOOTING AFTER THE CBC! I hit a slump with both bows this week, mostly due to some target panic. Took a lot of focus and slow practice sessions to figure out where I was breaking down mentally, and where...

    "My Garmin In Reach" Saved My Bacon Today

    That's probably a phone storage thing... iPhones tend to shift things to cloud storage after an extended time without use, especially if the phone is burning through memory storing trail camera videos of bucks you're never gonna catch up to in a million years.

    Snake bite

    Oh FFS, not the thread I needed to read! Now I'm imagining copperheads and water mocs in the tall grass I tend to bust through at 3am on my way to my deer stands... I turn into some hybrid of high jumper and skeet shooter when snakes surprise me.

    Bump to 300 spine?

    Lots of black magic goes into tuning a trad bow. I shoot a true 33" draw... 52 lbs @33, with a cut to center 3 piece longbow. And I have to shoot 34" 500 spine .246 diameter arrows with 175 grs of point weight... Used to be I was shooting 340's, then it turned into 400's and now 500's as my form...

    Thanks again to all the sponsors and mods for running this every year! It always gets me into full hunting season mode. It just doesn't feel like summer till the cold bow challenge wraps up!

    Spine and shaft question/recommendations

    You're the guy I was hoping to hear from! Long draw archers unite, lol. Thanks for the feedback on the Rampages.

    Spine and shaft question/recommendations

    I shoot trad bows 99% of the time, but I need some compound advice. My RX4 Ultra is currently broadhead tuned at 32" draw, ~65lbs. I'm shooting Axis 5mm 260's cut to 31" with aluminum HIT inserts and 125 gr heads. 4 fletch, and lighted nocks. Only problem is I'm down to 4 arrows. I'm thinking...
