    What search pattern do you think is best?

    I'm relatively new to bow hunting so haven't had a great deal of experience, though my experience has been growing of late. I've been having a fair bit of luck. I always seem to get the same advice from others with not a lot of experience and that seems to be: Animals always run in a straight...

    What search pattern do you think is best?

    I've got to start carrying flagging tape. One of the problems I seem to run into is running out of daylight, particularly when hunting pigs as they only become active in the late afternoon. Sometimes it seems using a torch helps, as your only focussed on the beam, and others it seems to hinder.

    What search pattern do you think is best?

    I'm in Aus and dogs are not allowed in some hunting areas. I also struggle to get enough time to hunt, let alone train up a dog to help me search for an animal. I may have not of been too clear: my post was more about trying to improve my searching tracking skills as opposed to currently...

    What search pattern do you think is best?

    When searching for an animal, with limited or no blood trail, what search pattern do you generally use? I've found a zig-zag pattern in the direction of travel where the zigs and the zags get larger as you move away from the last known location works pretty well. I've heard others use an...

    New arrows, new points?

    Yes. That makes sense. I hadn't thought about that.

    New arrows, new points?

    I've recently bought some new arrows to try something different. I went from the nexxus 250 spine (11.1 GPI) to the easton axis 260 spine (11.5 GPI), cut pretty much the exact same length. I've noticed the POI on the eastern is much higher (maybe 3 inches at 30+ yards) than the nexxus. Why is...

    Stainless steel barrel distortion

    Beauty. Will do. Sounds like I've made (or at least will be making) a good choice.

    Stainless steel barrel distortion

    How long in general would it take for it to cool down? I plan on doing a fair bit of practice prior to any hunting so knowing if the barrel is too hot or if I'm just missing at the range may be a good idea.

    Stainless steel barrel distortion

    Awesome. Everything I need. Thanks for the info. SS Tikka Tx3 308 it is then. It'll be my first hunting rifle so I'll likely be attempting to reduce my ignorance with your collective knowledge in the very near future.

    Stainless steel barrel distortion

    Looking at the Tikka TX3 in stainless steel though have heard the barrel on stainless steel rifles can distort due to heat after a few rounds. Is this the case? Is it an issue I should be concerned about? Apologies if this post already exists. I couldn't seem to find it. Cheers,

    What state is my bow in

    Where I live in Aus there isn't a shop. I'm hesitant to send it anywhere as it may just mean more time in the heat.

    What state is my bow in

    So do you think the string could break, or just stretched? I haven't shot the bow yet, but the peep appears to be inline still. Ok, sounds like I might be over-reacting. I'll throw some safety glasses on and put a couple of arrows through it. If she blows up then, I suppose I can conclude its...

    What state is my bow in

    Hi all, I recently moved while living in Australia and my container was delayed for a few weeks. My bow was in the container, and when I removed my bow today the bow was hot to the touch. My bow had to of been baking in that container for six weeks in the Australian summer desert. Is this how...

    Bow creaking

    So I'm pretty new to archery. Can I just confirm that the mods are the things you move when you are changing your draw length?

    Bow creaking

    It probably happens about 3/4 of the way through the draw.

    Bow creaking

    Awesome. Thanks. I’ll give it a go.
