    Gearing Up.

    I guess i was going pretty high on the food intake. If in went with 2000-2500 that would make more sense. Like I said I’m not picky. The 100 calories an ounce seems like a great starting point.

    Is it ever too late to start DIY Elk Hunting?

    This will be my first year at 48. I'm in decent shape. I spend most of my free time outside. I run, work out and the USN keeps me fit. I hunt and fish all year round and I’ll quit when I’m dead or close to it. My grandfather was doing pushups well into his 80s and he said it’s all about a...

    100 Grain vs 125 Grain Broadheads

    I’m no expert but these days I think the heavier head aids in FOC more than anything else. Energy equals mass time velocity squared so you get more bang for your buck with a faster arrow, all else being equal. I’d go with weigh collars if needed. I am using 125 VPAs only because I want better...

    Curious About Limb Driven Rests

    I see Hamskeas getting a lot of press and I really don’t know much about the advantages and disadvantages between these and a cable driven drop away like the QAD. I’ve been using the QAD for years and years but I’m always happy to try something new of it’s a better option.

    Elk hunting pack

    I ordered an F1 mainframe from a Eberlestock for just that purpose. I have their bigtop pack that I can use with it also or as a stand alone set up. Seems pretty versatile to me.

    “Best Broadhead”

    I tried Mechanicals. The original G5 Tekens. Fist deer was a doe at 26 yards. Broadside. Shot though her. Burris’s in the dirt pretty far. Pulled it out and the blades never deployed, they were still retracted. Needless to say I never recovered the deer. Three weeks later a decent 8pt at...

    Fletching issues

    I’m a fan of acetone for cleaning the shaft and base of the vane and the blue cap Gorilla CA. I have noticed that after 20 years or so my Bitz magnets do not seem as strong as they used to be but it makes quick work of the job. I don’t use wraps and it’s just a matter of using acetone and a...

    What string wax is everyone using?

    Interesting combo. How'd you come up with it? Found it on one of the archery boards a while back. Texture and feel is just the same as the commercial stuff like. A harder wax and you cut down on the toilet gasket and a increase beeswax. A softer wax you increase the toilet gasket and decrease...
