    A health revolution brewing?

    Thanks for the recommendation OP; I'll add that book to my reading list. I've been diving down lots of health-related rabbit holes in recent years. For those with an open mind willing to entertain alternative viewpoints on health/medicine/nutrition, here are some other names to check out. I...

    Broad head tuning help

    I would move the rest (and nocking point location if necessary) to get the arrow running level through the Berger hole. Then adjust cam timing so both draw stops are hitting at the same time. Then compare broadheads vs. field points again and make adjustments per the charts below. Also put the...

    Books to read while hunting

    Louis L'amour paperbacks are my go-to for hunting trips. They're easy reads and small enough to fit in my pants pocket. If Westerns aren't your cup of tea, here are some Alaska-specific recommendations: Alaska's Wolf Man by Jim Rearden, Coming into the Country by John McPhee, One Man's...

    September Truck must haves

    Bottle for changing tires, high lift (aka, widowmaker) as a last resort for getting unstuck. Get a lift-mate/wheel sling if you want to be able to use a high lift without damaging your vehicle.

    Hook and loop patch with belt loops?

    A couple pieces of Velcro one-wrap might work...loop the one-wrap back on itself then stick it to the RF pouch. https://milspecmonkey.com/store/hardware-diy/325-1695-velcro-one-wrap-1inch.html#/14-color-black I personally wouldn't rely solely on hook and loop to keep my RF pouch attached to my...

    Bow tuning help

    Move the rest to the right to within the recommended centershot measurement range (13/16" ± 3/16" per Hoyt) then tune by shimming the cams. You'll need a bow press to adjust shims

    Calculating angle compensation

    Parallax caused by the distance between the peep sight and arrow can also be a factor with very short and steep shots.

    Equipment sales - buying a new tractor

    Can't help you on the pricing/haggling question, but I will say that if I were shopping for a tractor with front end loader, I would get one with a skid loader style quick attach and third hydraulic remote...those features would make for a very versatile do-all machine IMO.

    Calculating angle compensation

    The typical method of angle compensation used in rangefinders is simple trigonometry based on line of sight distance (the hypotenuse of the triangle) and angle. The laser provides LOS distance and a built-in inclinometer provides the angle. Using those two numbers, the rangefinder calculates and...

    Outserts and arrow removal from target

    Not that I know of. You could thread a HIT onto a Deep Six broadhead to get the extra weight and length you want then glue the whole thing in. Ethics and Iron Will sell Deep Six HIT's in a variety of lengths/weights.

    Outserts and arrow removal from target

    FYI even though they're designed to be used with a HIT, any Deep Six broadhead can be glued directly in a .166"/4mm shaft (without a HIT). Still not a lot of Deep Six broadhead options out there though.

    Outserts and arrow removal from target

    Any time you have a front end component larger in diameter than the shaft, you're liable to have difficulty with target extraction. The greater the diameter difference, the greater the difficulty. A hidden insert (HIT) can fix this problem, but a lot of folks use a collar along with a HIT, which...

    CO CPW tag delays?

    If it's a tag from the primary or secondary draw, you should've received it a long time ago. If it's a tag you got off the leftover list and didn't choose expedited shipping, I'm not too surprised that it hasn't arrived yet. IIRC from the last time I bought a leftover tag, I think CPW says allow...

    Whurrr goes the arrow

    I don't recall which podcast it was on, but I recall someone relaying the anecdotal experience of a hunting guide in Africa who firmly believed arrow noise was more likely to spook animals than bow noise. He/his clients often hunted out of a blind over watering holes and shots were often taken...

    Tuning help

    How large a tear? Have you confirmed the tear with multiple arrows at multiple distances from the paper? Have you checked for vane contact? If you want to test the effect of stiffening your dynamic arrow spine, back your limb bolts out a couple turns and see what happens.

    Whurrr goes the arrow

    Opinions vary on the importance of bow noise vs. arrow noise, and no one can give you a definitive answer. If you're concerned about it, strip the vanes off a few arrows and try something different. Generally speaking, less offset/helical angle, shorter vane profile, and stiffer vane material...

    Cross Bow Target

    I wouldn't shoot broadheads into a bag target. They'll get tangled up in the fill material and skin material when you try to pull them out. Bag targets work well for field points and are usually the cheapest target option. Get one advertised for crossbow use to make sure it has adequate...

    Tarp & Bivy Question

    I've been using a Jimmy Tarps Granite Mountain and Borah Ultralight bivy for the past few years on September hunts in Colorado. Tarp weighs 15 oz, bivy 6 oz, stakes 4 oz. I use a single trekking pole as a central support for the tarp. I like this setup pretty well...it's lightweight and pretty...
