    Bow slings???

    Bow Hitch. Google it. Super simple, no need to remove the sight for installation, and lets you rest bow hands-free in a natural position that lends itself to easy/quick aiming of the bow. Highly recommended after using it on several western and backcountry hunts.

    Nosler ABLR for Oryx

    My then-13 year old son shot his first oryx last year with a 6.5CM, 142 grain ABLR, from 250 yards.

    Something you wish you started earlier

    After you get proficient with shooting, I would recommend taking a Joel Turner ShotIQ class, in person at a bow range. Next best thing would be to take his class online.

    I use a 142 grain Nosler ABLR. Definitely a lot of bullet for antelope, but it's what I use for other species. Consistent performance, dope, etc. takes a lot of stress out of hunts.

    Dead head cleaning

    Lots of good advice above but, for another handy reference, I've learned a lot about euro mounts and restoring deadheads from Whitebone Creations videos on YouTube.

    Elk broadhead

    I've switched to a Grim Reaper Micro Hades Pro, 125 grain fixed blade for this season. Shoots where my field points are hitting at 50 yards. Haven't tried stretching it out beyond that, but I don't plan to release an arrow at a critter beyond that range.
