    Arrow finish

    Wipe on poly is super easy and came out really nice. Maaaaaaaaybe if I were building for others I'd consider something more advanced but for my own use I don't see a reason.

    Best place for string?

    The TTT string I had was very good, but it had wool silencers which will cause a lot of what would look like string stretching (but is really the wool slowly compressing more) before they settle out. My first choice these days is Nick Reddy (Reddy Made Strings). Steve Baker (Mountain Muffler)...

    Anybody check the speed on their stickbows?

    My St. Patrick Lake Longbows Pacific Styk, 50@29" shoots a 615 gr arrow 170fps. I don't particularly care about the speed but I know what it is due to using a chronograph to tune brace height.

    Samick limbs

    Southwest archery makes recurve limbs to make a 62 or 64" bow as well as longbow limbs. All will fit your sage riser.

    Just a rabbit in the yard so far, but deer opens in 16 days and I cannot wait.

    Should be only 2-3 more setup changes before season starts at this point ;)

    How do you size a quiver?

    Great Northern makes a 1 piece strap on quiver in a few different configurations. There's a fixed length and then the adjustable sliding model @Beendare mentioned. Gunshy makes a 1 piece quiver. It's heavy and IMO kinda ugly (the hood looks good but the bracket looks out of place on a...

    How do you size a quiver?

    First of all I would just call or email Donnie and have him walk you through it, super helpful dude. But that length measurement is a measurement of distance between straps. What that needs to be depends on what bow(s) you're putting it on. You need it to be long enough to clear your grip and...

    Recurve bow choice

    Great advice. If you have a chronograph, you can use that and just look for the brace height that gives you the best speed. Start low and work your way up a couple twists at a time, shooting a few arrows at each adjustment to make sure you don't make a decision based on a crappy release. Helpful...

    I went to a 500 yard range yesterday ....

    Western MN is mostly half or quarter sections, half a mile on one side and either a mile or a half mile on the other. There are bigger pieces but not a ton.

    1/10th, 3/10ths, 7/10ths and 9/10ths is magic

    Yeah agreed. @Beendare I would recommend getting a chronograph if possible and starting low brace height, increasing a few twists at a time til you hit a peak speed and then start falling off again. Doing that should help noise, ease of tuning, forgiveness to form mistakes, etc.

    1/10th, 3/10ths, 7/10ths and 9/10ths is magic

    It makes sense you'd get less bang for your buck out of silencing the 4th harmonic especially if you shoot split, because you're releasing the string pretty close to a node of the 4th harmonic and won't excite it as much as the 3rd and and the other odd order harmonics.

    Primitive this year

    Man I wish primitive points were legal here. Best I could do legally would be a trade point as metal is a requirement.

    2023 preparations

    That sounds pretty stiff based on my experience. 650gr 30.25" arrows with 250 up front were just slightly stiff for me out of my recurve ([email protected]"). That said if they're flying well for you no need to second guess.

    Your hunt setup

    Well, I said I wouldn't tinker but here I am with some Autumn Orange 2016s. My current bow is served for Bohning Classics so I haven't shot these much or tuned at all. I will probably try to kill a turkey and a deer with my woodies before I start shooting these in the field, but if I fill my...

    Welcome to Born Primitive Clothing

    I asked them a while ago, and don't recall which countries specifically but I believe it was a couple different ones in SE Asia. Hit up their customer service, they'll tell you exactly which ones.

    D97 question

    D97 is about 8800 ft per lb and FF is 8172 ft per lb, so you’d be between 8 and 9 strands going by weight. I would just try it with 8 and 9 and then average the results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    D97 question

    You should be able to look up weight per unit length for each material and just use the ratio to figure out an educated guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
