Guys I have decided to thin my herd a bit. I have a lot of high end hunting and outdoor items. It is going to take me some time (with all of this, guns, and collectables) I have decided to sell to get the things I think make sense posted (individually) up here, but wanted to start getting the...
Sure...
This was my buddy Mike's farm. He is European, is very "earthy" (organic, life is sacred, and regenerative - nothing negative in that as I am becoming more like him daily but wanted to give the perspective as it plays a little into the story).
Because his farm (and most of the...
Agreed on the low... Also its rare given the number of evergreens I see anything but evergreens rubbed. In fact this is a first time. That said, the marks on the other trees really look like claws.
Had the pleasure of scouting my buddies back 60 acres this weekend (post deer season here in NC). I had hunting the front section during the later half of the hunting season, but due to my lack of familiarity with this part I wanted to scout it first - after the season.
Aside from an almost gun...
Beendare this is not directed at you. You just opened the door to give this answer. Beendare a lot of your input has been valuable, thank you.
I did not ask if I should subscribe to the One Gun theory. My original post seemed clear to me that I already owned the bows (like many of you own...
Thanks...
I hear the "one bow" theme here... I am just a bit bewildered by it due to the fact that most everyone on here talks about having "a lot of bows they shoot". :) More so a lot of people on here are constantly upgrading to the next shiny ball bow :)
I was a bit unclear in my original...
Let me make sure I am understanding. I think this is what BG was telling me in another thread... You don't serve it like it is in the picture you tie the peep directly to the strings on the right/left sides? I saw a video on that but isn't that really really hard to get off if you have to? At...
Whoa... Slow the tone down there buddy. I am not your child and you don't get to chastise me. I am not upset at anyone on here nor have I been. I have been trying to learn and ask questions. I restate things (like that) because often I get response where people HAVE NOT read everything. You are...
Ha ha ... I am a bow idiot, but not that big of a general idiot not to know what an overhand and square knot are!! :) That cracked me up... Such is wide interpretation of written words!!
On the overhand and square... I was not picturing what you were saying as to where to put them. Sorry if I...
I am very much appreciating your contribution. My original goal was to figure out how to get Peeps right (not JUST fix this issue) as I am building 3 bows for next season. So your input is valuable.
The peep was not my work. It was a bow shop's work. So you are saying it looks too tight? If so...
Not sure what you mean by "want the serving to come right up to the point where the string splits"... Wouldn't that be wherever the top of the serving is?
Can you explain the "two simple overhand knots..."?? Not sure I get what you saying.
BTW, I didn't tie this. The Bowtech shop in Bozeman...
As I stated before the strings were Vapor Trails.
The string condition is good. I don't see a lot of wear on them or any serving (surprisingly).
The only rotation I have put in the strings is a half twist on the bottom (yesterday), other wise none others have been put in.
Diamond say the ATA...
After having my first success with bow hunting, I am bitten by the bug and want to move to predominantly hunting with bow (vs gun - omg I may have to sell off a lot of guns!! :) ). To that end I am getting my bows set up for next season. I have 3 bows I am setting up arrows for. My goal is to...
Thanks for all the input here... You "its your strings" guys I believe are spot on... I called Diamond to get some insight. They recommended I measure the ATA and it was over spec. They said more than likely its the strings.
They were Vapor Trail strings and cables (not cheap $130). They were...
Update...
So I put it in the bow press and made a half turn opposite of the rotation (on the bottom string). At rest the peep sits perfectly straight. The problem is when I draw the bow, it rotates a little over a 1/4 counterclockwise.
I also just realized (because I went to tighten up the...
