    4mm arrow quiver

    Ditto. Can’t comment on the length but that’s probably going to be a universal annoyance unless you get a two piece

    2023 rut-less observatons

    This was my first year, but described my experience to a T. Wasn’t CO OTC, but easy to draw tag. We didn’t hear a single bugle all week, but were finding fresh sign daily. Didn’t hear any bugles before sunrise or after sunset either. We resorted to still hunting timber and I got within 50 yards...

    Hunting mid morning and into the afternoon

    Is this when you know elk are in the area? If you aren’t sure and they are non-vocal, are you covering ground or watching wallows/water?

    Bow troubles, really need some advice please.

    Sorry OP - this is a lot of tough love coming your way in this thread. The comments about finding a shop who knows what they’re doing are the best recommendation, but also entirely unhelpful for you to know which shop that would be. What is your closest major town? Until then - How did you get...

    Lock on bow case while flying

    I've been reading some conflicting stuff when it comes to locking your bow case for traveling through the airport. I know when it comes to guns, they do not want you to use a TSA lock for security purposes. I have heard the opposite with a bow case, but I can hardly understand why. For those of...

    Dudley's Latest Rants

    I've seen a lot of people bash him on AT and I truly cannot understand why or where they are coming from. I think he is completely genuine in his efforts. His latest 'rant' was not really a rant but a series of educational posts on what things are going to impact your arrow flight, by how much...

    Safety redundancy, plans.

    Interesting. I just purchased an inreach mini and was testing it out. I definitely noticed the battery dies pretty quick with tracking on, even in half hour increments. This comment has me very intrigued. I’ve been keeping tracking on because I thought the bread crumb trail would be useful...

    Choosing New Broadheads

    The fixed blades will generate more drag than the mechanical. If you had mechanicals grouping with field points, it would not be unexpected for a fixed blade to land lower because it’s losing speed more quickly (at longer ranges). If you switched up your field point to one that is a larger shape...

    Choosing New Broadheads

    Dudley has posted a lot of good food for thought on this the last few weeks. For antelope and deer, either type of head will get the job done. I’d consider what range you expect to be shooting at and what conditions. Long range, arrow velocity is going to dump at 60 yards so a fixed blade will...

    What release are you hunting with 2023

    Was using the Spot Hogg Wise Guy but couldn’t get the total draw length in my sweet spot between the bow and where I wanted the trigger to be on my finger. Made a risky move to get Nock 2 It before the season started but now I’m shooting better than ever. The silverback is also divine to shoot...

    Changing tune for different releases

    Not necessarily a tune problem. As you’ve caught on already, different release styles - meaning the opening mechanism, will affect how it leaves the bow. Have you tried shooting at a target? Sounds like if you did you would need to move your sight over to be centered again. Try shooting paper...

    Ideal Broadhead Groupings

    Agree with the previous advice. Your order of operations should be to set the center shot, adjust yokes to get them grouping as close as possible (or as close to a bullet hole through paper as you can), and then micro adjust the rest last. If you do that and still see a variance, then go through...

    Nausea while flying?

    Dramamine is still king, but I agree it makes me groggy like no other. There’s less drowsy versions. You can also take a ginger supplement. Just ground up dried ginger. It actually does work pretty well with no side effects. Don’t get the ‘natural’ non-drowsy version of Dramamine because that is...

    Hitting low

    Definitely sounds like target panic. Especially after you mentioned falling low before the shot and having 'anxiety' trying to get it back. Target panic never really goes away. Sounds like you normally have a handle on it, but it can always show its ugly head. As they suggested above, burn a...

    Way to share waypoints in the field?

    My brother and I are trying to figure out the best way to stay in touch in the field in the event that we split ways to divide and conquer. I've got an inReach Mini 2 and he bought the Garmin Messenger. Is there a way to share the auto-recorded waypoints with each other via the satellite...

    Guys who fly - meat care in the field (archery)

    Appreciate the thoughts. The weather will be unknown at this point. So you'll have a couple of cooler retailer locations picked out ahead of time in case it is a morning kill or hot temps? I guess I'll need to think through that as well to understand if that is even an option. I'm still vetting...

    Guys who fly - meat care in the field (archery)

    I’m still pondering this one. To maybe rephrase my question more simply - if you’re flying for an archery hunt and plan to have the animal processed locally - do you think a cooler and ice is necessary for the time between field dressing and getting to the professor? The plan would be to field...

    Food storage in the CO high country

    Didn't know about the sale - good timing. Do you use either of the odor protectors or aluminum liners? Concerned after reading some reviews that although it may not tear open from a bear, usually the food inside gets destroyed. Although, a group of recreational hikers may very well hang these...

    Food storage in the CO high country

    Are the Ursacks good in your experience? Looking at my options for bear containers and saw those pop up. I like that it is more packable, but the design seems a little fallible. Also sucks that isn't approved in all areas.

    Ice Bath....anyone do it often and does it really help?

    No false info here. Diet can make a world of difference but the ice is great too. I’m in the process of building a dedicated cold plunge with a 1 HP chiller. There’s great physical but also mental benefits. If you want a reliable source and in depth knowledge, look up Andrew Huberman. He has an...
