Looks like a great set up to me. I just posted a thread of my current arrow set up and results. As long as your shafts bare shaft tune perfectly, you should be fine. And it looks like your weight upfront is nice. My FOC is like 25% and it performed amazing for me this past weekend. The guy at my...
Im no stranger to killing whitetails with my traditional bows, but getting a pass through that would exit all the way through and not stay inside the deer is something that rarely happened for me when I shot them through the rib cage. I draw 30in. Most shafts I shoot are full length or close to...
Id try to figure out a way to get another 50-75gr on that arrow. I’ve killed plenty Alabama whitetails with an arrow that same weight. Got 1 pass through in the rib cage. Many that didnt pass through and didnt even break the skin on the other side. Had to change the set up.
As I shot my bow today I actually thought “Ive been shooting these bows for about 25yrs now, and even though it doesnt happen on every shot, there is something about that perfect shot, when you let it go and watch the spot you were fixated on just disappear by the arrow covering it completely.”...
Stick with it. 10 years from now you’ll be amazed at what you learn still and didnt really know about trad bow hunting right now. And dont give up. You are going to miss at some point. When you end up missing a big buck one day, wait a few weeks befofe you throw your bow away and go buy a...
The preacher guy who kills moose on youtube under Limitless Outdoors says in his gear list video that he uses a Kuiu pack and used the same one for about 4-6 moose total if Im not mistaken. I think its this video.
So I have a wall that is all shiplap. I dont know if it will hold a moose without drilling into a stud, but I also am hoping to kill a moose next year. Ive thought of taking all the sheet rock off one wall, putting 1/2in OSB on the studs, and then sheetrocking/shiplapping over it. Then that way...
If you are getting one to beat up and shoot like crazy then get the Winchester SX3. If you want to be the man and have a nice gun that never fails and easy to clean, get a Beretta/Benelli/Browning O/U.
Ive recently been reading the Ashby research and once my new bow arrives I will be front loading a heavy arrow. I do wish, for hunting purposes, that I could use a shorter arrow for better penetration. Do you shoot off a flipper rest of some sort?
Hey bisblue, just trying to help, but you may get better flight with a weaker shaft. I asked what inserts you were using cause unless they were 450gr inserts I have a hard time seeing how your set up works. As we all know, there is lots if trial and error in this wonderful hobby.
I just read every word. So cool. When I was 8yrs old I read a moose hunt story in Traditional Bowhunter magazine and knew I had to do it some day. 32yrs later, my day comes next year for my first experience and “try” and taking a moose with my recurve or longbow. Stories like yours propel my...
