    Quick way to add 25 grains Black Eagle Rampage

    BE sells a special wrench to install the weight screws. Remove the nock, slide the weight screw in, and use the extra long hex wrench to tighten it. I'm also bewildered by the 30 gr option...25 gr would be more logical. Gold Tip also makes weight screws, but I'm not sure if the thread pattern...

    Quick way to add 25 grains Black Eagle Rampage

    Add a 30 gr weight screw behind the half-out (and ignore the 5 gr difference). https://blackeaglearrows.com/rampage-and-renegade-screw-in-brass-insert-weight/

    2024 MCAAP Controlled Hunt

    No. There will be a hard frost before mid-November to knock the bugs down. MCAAP lies within copperhead, cottonmouth, and timber rattler territory, but they're rare and will be lethargic and/or hibernating by then anyway. I didn't take snake boots or any bug repellent on my two early November...

    A health revolution brewing?

    Good call. The effect of adjuvants (inflammatory compounds intentionally added to vaccines to trigger a response by the body's immune system) is real cause for concern, particularly the cumulative effect given the intensity of the recommended childhood vaccine schedule. None of my children (ages...

    Dads of Rokslide

    I can't say it any better than Voddie Baucham did in this recent sermon. The whole thing is good, but skip to 23:55 if you just want the practical meat and potatoes. TLDR version: Phase 1 = Discipline and Training - "Do what I say, when I say it, and with a respectful attitude" Phase 2 =...

    Broadband Tuning

    Yes, broadhead tuning is still a thing. Scroll back through the archery sub-forum here and you'll find many threads on the topic. Different POI between broadheads and field points can still happen if the bow is out of tune, but the steps to correct it are fairly simple. Below is a handy tuning...

    Arrows

    Small and micro (5mm and 4mm nominal inside diameter) arrows are the going trend, but my advice is to keep it simple and stick with a standard diameter (6.5mm/.245" ID) shaft. Cost and complexity increase and the insert can become a significant weak point as you go smaller, and the supposed...

    Bows you can tune yourself

    If I ever buy a brand new bow, it will be an APA. I was close to ordering one a few years ago but found a used VXR at a price too good to pass up. If you don't have a dealer within 100 miles, APA will ship you a bow directly and give you 5 days to decide whether or not to keep it...you do have...

    Spine help?

    Your archery tech is mistaken. The old "left tear = arrow is too weak, right tear = arrow is too stiff" (for a right-handed shooter) adage is a holdover from traditional bows shot with fingers that doesn't apply to modern compound bows shot with a mechanical release. With a modern compound...

    Garmin inReach user question

    I can't comment on the Mini 2 or Explore app specifically (I'm using an Explorer+ and Earthmate app), but it might be worthwhile to check the firmware version on your device and update it if needed. I've heard reports of weird behavior with various Garmin devices being cured by firmware updates.

    Bows you can tune yourself

    Regarding learning how to tune a bow, Tim Gillingham's series on YouTube plus the charts below cover the basics. Some tuning procedures are specific to the bow (e.g., newer Mathews and Hoyt models use spacers to shift cams left/right, newer Bowtechs use their proprietary DeadLock feature, newer...

    Bows you can tune yourself

    APA bows are fully tunable without a press or any special tools. They're designed such that the cams can be partially rotated and pinned in place to take tension off the string or cables while you make adjustments. I don't know of any other bows that can be fully tuned without a press. You can...

    Hamskea Epilson Tweak

    The cord they include with the rest is extra long to accommodate bows of various axle-to-axle lengths. There's no need for excess cord beyond the clamp; trim it just past the clamp and burn it to prevent fraying.

    Garmin inReach Message Delay times?

    IME typical message delivery time is around 10-15 minutes. Check your device's firmware version and update if needed. Also try running the service test procedure on your inReach: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=HX8hA43Ys40k1akYC5tAsA

    Arrow and sight help

    If there's another shop in the area, pay them a visit for a second opinion on draw length. If they're a Mathews dealer, they should have mods on hand to let you try out different DL's.  Have you tried adjusting your sight? If you're consistently hitting right of your pins, move the pins to the...

    Powering a chest freezer at a motel

    Yes, hence my use of the phrase "like you suggested".

    Powering a chest freezer at a motel

    5 amps at 120 volts AC is equivalent to 50 amps at 12 volts DC. Accounting for losses in the wiring and inverter, you would probably want to use a ≈60 amp 12 VDC fuse. Coming straight off the battery like you suggested with an inline fuse (instead of tapping into the fuse box) would be a pretty...

    Holy cow! Another tuning question!

    How much is "quite a way left" of centershot? What's the actual distance from the inside of the riser to the centerline of your arrow?

    Bare shaft thoughts

    Mathews' recommended centershot is 13/16" ± 1/16". So if you're at ≈15/16" as previously stated, you're approximately ≈1/16" out of spec. I personally have no qualms about being a bit outside of their recommendation. If you do, shift your rest right to within Mathews' recommended range then...
