For me this year really made me want to get a new bow from hoyt, Matthews not so much, if i'd go matthews id get the 2024 lift. I am not looking at the hoyt carbons thats way to much for a bow. But the Ax2 29.5 is what has my eye.
They made the bow over 1/4lb lighter which is probably the...
i'm not even from colorado and I know this is false. for archery yes there is no otc anymore. but for rifle there still is. And i started a trial on gohunt and ya I can see why every one says get it. VERY HELPFUL. makes things 1000X easier
Hello all. First of all I want to say thank you for any help that I get. And please read everything below just so you get what I'm looking for. I have looked at a bunch of older threads but with CO's rule changes for 2025 I figured it's probably easiest to start a new one.
So me and my dad have...
Little update. I went out scouting yesterday as it was a hot windy day. I went about 400 yards from where im currently hunting to an area i had found some small rubs about a month ago. I had a camera on this for a little bit but only got pictures of a decent 8 point that I call "George" and no...
Yes it sounds like he's got a fixed sight. A slider sight would allow him to shoot farther. But really you don't need more than 5 pins when hunting anyways. Or shouldn't have a need to slide a 5 pin sight. Unless you are shooting very far distances. But if he has a 20 year old bow shooting far...
Thank goodness you are shooting a fixed blade. That setup with a fixed blade shouldn't have to many issues. Personally if I was in that situation i would get a heavier broadhead or a heavier insert to get a little bit closer to the 400 mark. Even if you got a broadhead that was 125 grains that...
Holy arrow weight. I mean if it works for you run with it I guess but wow that's light. What broadhead do you shoot? And if your arrow weight is that light and still running out of clearance issues I would definitely get a new bow. A new sight won't really do much.
If it was me I would probably put the money into a new bow. Granted that bow will have no issues killing anything. New bows are just so much more effiecient, quiet, dead in hand, lighter etc than bows from 20 years ago. Persoanlly i would rather have a new bow with not quite as nice of...
I appreciate the help so far! I have put a couple mock scrapes in with branches but so far no luck. But if he's not using the area he wouldn't have found them. Once he finds one though he should keep coming back to it. And yes I'm not shooting any does, I only get 1 tag in my zone so it has his...
Ok so first of all I want no negativity on this thread and I truly just want what you guys think. In hindsight I should have done a little more scouting to be ahead of this deer. Where as now I feel like I'm one step behind him. This is my first year on this land and didn't get access till...
That guy is a clown and constantly does that. Go look at other forums and he is always making fun of/downtalking people. Not okay, no room for that on here.
Ever since somebody threatening to meet you in person to fight. I think that's a dam good reason for someone to get kicked off of here.
Just wanted to make this thread in case anyone else wanted to put a side bar on their torrex/xt or any hoyt boys without a sidebar mount but have a lower quiver hole. I didn't know if the SL mount would work but I decided to chance it because I figured I could make it work, and it actually works...
For mule deer I would shoot mechanical in the whole quiver. You dont really need to be concerened about penetration at your specs. So there really no reason you should be shooting a small fixed head. So first off that's what id do. If you are really just looking for a follow up broadhead why...
Have used trigger style releases in the past. But just switched to a handheld because I like the idea of clipping it on my d loop and letting it sit. Instead of having it on my wrist. I only hunt whitetails so that's why I can just clip it on and leave it. If I were to go elk hunting out west. I...
You cant shoot broadheads into bag style targets. They will just get stuck and you won't get them out. If I were you I would get a 365 target with a replaceable core. And make sure the core is the larger of the 2 sizes they make. I think they make a 14" and 18" core or something like that. But...
Just replaced my factory hoyt strings with GAS strings this year and so far liking them a lot. Once I put them on I shot them in. And then my timing had to be adjusted just a tiny bit. But really that's with any type of bowstrings. And I mean they settled the smallest bit. But my peep never...
No crap it's a hammer. You are shooting 88 pounds with a 31.75 DL :) That is awesome though, I always say shoot as high of poundage as you comfortably can because we want every ounce of energy you can get. And well, I think you got it all!
