    Pulling through on an index

    I too have mine set so my finger can wrap around it and touch my thumb. The centerline has an aluminum body that has a machined radius on your face side that is curved to allow your thumb a perfect place to sit when aiming. When I tried touching my finger to my thumb this curved part made...

    4 Vane vs. 3 Vane

    Your vanes appear to have a height of .38”. I fletched up four fletch using q2i fusion xll 2.1 vanes and they have a height of .43”. They fly great and I think with your lower height with the aae vanes I would do four.

    4 Vane vs. 3 Vane

    I have arrows fletched up with 3 q2i raptors for my Martin Onza and they fly fantastic! I bought a dozen shafts for my new Alpha X, which I’m told has fairly tight cable to fletching clearance with the cable guard, and I fletched them with 4 q2i fusion xll 2.1” vanes which are a lower profile...

    Pulling through on an index

    I recently, after MANY year shooting, started refining my release and working on pulling though with back tension. I’d considered switching from an index to a thumb but was told, and also secretly knew, that the release wasn’t my issue. Anyways I’m making excellent progress rather fast. After a...

    Best sight?

    5 pin guy myself. In Midwest that’s all you should need and honestly a 3 pin would get you by. These days I’m shooting MBG Rush sights on both my bows.

    Post up a picture your hunting bow!

    I went with the 33 but with a draw length of 30 I hope that doesn’t put me too far at the bottom of the module. Im excited to shoot it

    Post up a picture your hunting bow!

    Couple of my older Martins. Waiting on a new Alpha X but I’m not ditching these babies. They both are sweet shooters. Hopefully that Alpha X will be even better but if it’s as least as good as these then it will be a win for me. I love accurate bows!

    Tangolio witness 9 mm polymer full size

    That’s good to know. I always thought it was a good pistol but Ive read comments after a review of people saying not to put your life on the line with cheap stuff and to spend the money on quality. Comments like those have made me wonder how cheap they really were especially because they dont...

    Tangolio witness 9 mm polymer full size

    Surprised to hear that about Glock. I would have thought they were higher end stuff.

    Tangolio witness 9 mm polymer full size

    I bought one new in 2005 with an extra 16 round clip after the Clinton bill ended. I shot several hundred rounds of full metal jacket cheap ball ammo through it without a single failure and it’s actually pretty accurate. It’s been holstered upstairs and hasn’t been shot since 2006. I just don’t...

    Do nocks stretch or have a shelf life?

    Good to know. In the past I’ve never changed nocks until they got physically damaged. Maybe I need to adjust how I do things. I don’t know if these are ready yet but I’ll keep a better eye on things

    Do nocks stretch or have a shelf life?

    Do nocks stretch as they get lots of shots through them? Tonight while re fletching 4 arrows three fit my bitz jig loosely or without resistance anyways. One fit snug. All nocks were the same but I think one was replaced recently when I damaged one so it is newer than the rest. None are damaged...

    Re fletching arrows

    Possibly the money yeah but honestly, I enjoy arrow building especially in the evening. I make my own wraps and I’ve got a bunch on reserve and the vanes cost me 14.99 for 50 so it’s all minuscule I suppose. I’ll tell my grandmother I’m sorry 😂

    Re fletching arrows

    I probably started this thread in haste. Typical of me lol. I just got the itch to strip all my arrows down and redo them in a different configuration or color or both but my grandmother in me said what a waste 😀. She grew up during the Great Depression and used to wash and reuse zip loc bags...

    Re fletching arrows

    Yeah that’s a good point. Vanes aren’t too pricy so I won’t be out much. Plus I make my own wraps so that saves a lot too

    Re fletching arrows

    I need to re fletch an arrow entirely. I ripped a vane off the wrap shooting groups tonight and tore the wrap. no biggie except I am out of vanes. I’ve thought about switching things up. On my last dozen shafts built for my new bow, I did four fletch for the first time using q2i fusion xll...

    New hunting arrow setup suggestions, what are y’all shooting?

    I didn’t take the time to read every page so pardon me if this has already been mentioned. Ask most older archers, myself included, how much foc we ran when we shot aluminum. There may have been people building heavy arrows. That I don’t know. But I do know most people I knew and myself just...

    How much does grain weight affect trajectory

    Good call! That is true and something I forgot to consider

    How much does grain weight affect trajectory

    Well I’ll give an update. I got home today. I’m fresh. I’m a little more steady than I was this morning and I’m putting things to the test. I can say now for sure that at 20 yards the two arrows pretty much hit together. At 30 yards the heavier arrow is about 2 to 3 inches low. And at 40 yards...
