    Ultraview 1K Arrows

    Absolutely, and that's the thing I have the hardest time with. If thousands of people were continually having a hard time tuning their arrows, having arrows break when they shouldn't, and a had a hard time being accurate, I could see a product like this being a really good option. I just can't...

    From trigger-style to hand-held release

    It depends what you're trying to solve or fix. I used to shoot a wrist rocket at first because it's just what came with a bow I bought. After I took a big break from compound archery and came back it was obvious I had target panic, but maybe a more accurate way to say it was just that I never...

    3 blade broadhead recommendations

    Terra Firma in Australia have a 3 blade that is fairly new on the market. It's called the Gladius. There are lots of good reviews coming out about this head now. Definitely worth a look, and priced well. https://www.terrafirmaarchery.com/terra-firma-gladius-3-blade-broadhead

    Ultraview 1K Arrows

    There is a big thread on Archery Talk about this as well. It's made for interesting reading. As has been stated already, this looks like a very expensive solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. I worked out that they would be $675AUD for a dozen. The current arrows I use are $185AUD...

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    Haha. So what's the angle here? My moustache gives me more killing power so I can use a smaller rifle, OR, I have no business shooting a larger rifle because I have a 6.5 moustache?

    Stan Onnex Clicker question

    I'm not sure two months is too little time, mate. Just spend some time in close and remind yourself that your task is to make a strong shot, rather than hit the bullseye. Maybe it's just me but I have no issue going between a bunch of releases, but I'm also a fairly new compound hunter for the...

    Stan Onnex Clicker question

    You can shoot it by just moving your thumb, or shoot it by pulling through the shot. Every thumb button is the same in that you can go with 'single digit manipulation' - Joel Turner's words, which essentially means a slow squeeze with your thumb, OR, lock your thumb in one place and then pull...

    Stan Onnex Clicker question

    In Joel turner's words (somewhat paraphrased), you need to be doing it slow enough that you could stop at any point. If you're not really noticing the click because you're going right through it, your shot initiation process is happening too fast or too violently. It's not supposed to be a...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I made a thread recently about how my 7.7lb .300WM isn't particularly pleasant to shoot, but I handle it fine and it's a great rifle and cartridge. For most of my hunting, I don't need the .300WM, but it's nice to have and definitely useful when I go chasing larger critters. I sit in both camps...

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    I can imagine. That's a light rifle in a big cartridge like that.

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    For no reason other than I happened to weigh my rifle the other day (first time ever) and it happened to be 7.7lb, so I asked the question. The bare rifle is less than 6lb, as the scope by itself weighs 825 grams (1.8lb).

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    No, copper bullets aren't mandated. I don't disagree with anything you're saying. As I said before, I am just interested to see what other people use and like. I'm quite happy getting the job done with what I have and I'm looking forward to using and trying other stuff in the future. I never...

    In which cartridge? How big would you go?

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    I'm not the most experienced sambar hunter in the world so this is based on what I've observed, as well as what I've been told by many others. The Asiatic deer just seem to be a little tougher than the European deer, but sambar especially. They are reported to soak up a hit much better than...

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    Here are some pictures of stuff I've taken with the rifle before I put the new stock on.

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    The overwhelming majority of sambar shot in Victoria every weekend would be with a .30-06 and 180gn Remington Corelokt factory ammo. Besides plenty of people using .270, 7mm08 and .308, you also have plenty using .300WM and bigger. Even a .45-70 or 9.3x62 is a common choice for the thicker...

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    Very similar to some of my thoughts, for sure. I'm not necessarily the typical lightweight junkie. Far from it, actually. This rifle is already fairly light by design, but the new carbon stock was the easiest thing I could source to replace the factory stock that deteriorated. I'm usually the...

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    Sounds like you have some nice bangsticks, mate. It's definitely a nice rifle, mate. Nice to carry and nice to point at an animal and know I have some decent energy behind it. Not sure whether we'd have different definitions of 'mild' recoil? Again, I can handle this rifle fine, but it's a...

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    Hi all, I've been shooting my .300WM a little bit lately and it's lively off the bench. Nothing I can't handle and nothing that really worries me, but it's gotten me thinking about how many people are happy to carry and shoot something similar. A little background... I've been bowhunting much...
