Shooting in the wind

The reality of wind; it has more effect on you and your ability to hold steady than changing any equipment does. If you can hold steady, your equipment can be dealt with. Holding off, bubbling over or any other method to deal with wind drift becomes simple. Unfortunately, we can’t hold as well...

Ticks... Overreaction?

In the early to mid 90’s there was a Lyme disease vaccine of sorts. Three shots; Day 1 first shot, A month later second shot and 6 months after that a third shot. My insurance even paid for it.

Twisting cables/ string to gain lbs

That is where this thread is full of misinformation already. You can increase and decrease both DW and DL with either the cable or sting or combination of both to affect holding weight, valley length and back wall. Feel free to call me and I will help you out. There are so many variables out...

Twisting cables/ string to gain lbs

These types of posts are counter productive for the OP. There are already suggestions or opinions that are half truths or totally impossible. It will get read by many people who will go try some of the nonsense and do more harm than good. The internet, and yes even on Rokslide, have keyboard...

Twisting cables/ string to gain lbs

To the OP, I would be very cautious of taking anyone’s advice on this topic unless you personally know them or trust them based on some other reliable information. Only a few posts on this and some already have outlandish results. The short answer is don’t try and get 6 pounds out of twisting...

Sight tape question

You can build a tape with AA for the option sights if you use the inch option in the sight set up. It takes a couple more tries to get it perfect, but it can be done.

Sight tape question

I personally think you should use a program and build your own tapes. I am not against marking the blank one and if it matches up perfectly to a pre made one that comes with your sight, no reason not to use it if it meets your needs. Most only go to 100 yards though. There is an article on...

Kuiu Ultra packs discontinued?

Historically, when items vanish, it is because something else is replacing it or it is being updated. Just a guess though!!!!

Hinge Release

I shoot. It’s a button and a hinge weekly. The hinge will make you a better button shooter. And if you have to shoot competitions in the wind, the hinge can be very challenging. The same goes if you are on an animal and have to stay at full draw for over a minute. You can’t really relax with the...

Realize though if you shoot a bear in the wilderness solo, your trip is done. They don’t last more than a a couple days unless we get unseasonably cool weather or you are by a cold stream.

Trinity Alps Backcountry Archery

They are all popular. If lakes are easily accessed there will be more people. I have been all over the Alps and have found bucks everywhere. Pick a trailhead, get 7 plus miles back and get above timber for archery
