    New Orleans inshore charter rec early may

    I fished with Big Dog Fishing Charters in January of 2020. We came back with a 3 person limit of reds and threw another half dozen back. The boat was nice, captain Alden was friendly and helpful, and I would absolutely use them again. Not sure how the hurricane impacted them, but if they’re up...

    Critique my arrow build - Newbie

    Alright, I've redone it to take into account that I don't need to worry as much about penetration, and should look for more speed with whitetail being the target. Option 1: I already own these arrows. Bought them on the cheap cheap from the black ovis misfits. Only thing I need is heads Gold...

    Thank you! This was some good information!

    Critique my arrow build - Newbie

    But what is too weak/too strong? With static spine, there’s pretty charts on the back of every arrow box that tells you about what static spine you need. I can’t find anything that tells you what you want your dynamic spine to be (which I’m sure varies greatly person to person). According to...

    Critique my arrow build - Newbie

    Thanks! How is it used? Like galamb said with a 300 spine arrow and my components I would be at 85 pounds. What does that mean? What should I be at? How is that used?

    Critique my arrow build - Newbie

    Just to go light: GT air strike (7.8gpi 340 spine) cut to 28.75”, 24.8gr factory insert, 100gr head, AAE pro max hunter (4.7gr/per), and no wrap. 373.5gr total weight, 12.2% FOC, 284fps. Is that sexier/is that the route you would go?

    Critique my arrow build - Newbie

    I understand the logic behind high speeds = easier shots at range. My plan is to get comfortable to 40 for the season, which I know is laughable to most serious archery guys. I know my limitations, and while I might be able to get good with my bow out to 60 or so, I know once the adrenaline...

    Critique my arrow build - Newbie

    Honestly, this is probably the wrong approach to take, but I started to look into dynamic spine a bit and there were plenty of things talking about it, but nothing explaining exactly what it is or what it should be (at least in a way I could understand). So I gave up on it! How is dynamic spine...

    Critique my arrow build - Newbie

    I haven’t bought into the ultra high FOC hype, but most things I’ve seen say 7-10% on the low end and 15% on the high end. Figured my 12.7% was right in the sweet spot. Reducing my head to 100, lowering spine to 350, and cutting the arrow to 28 3/4” I get 11.1% with the factory 50gr inserts or...

    Critique my arrow build - Newbie

    I measured 2 1/4” from the front side of the WB to the start of the insert with a 30 1/2” arrow. So I guess 28 1/4” would get my insert right up to the whiskers, maybe go 1/4 or 1/2 inch longer? At 28 3/4” with the 350 spine, 50gr insert, and a 100gr head that would put me at 443gr moving...

    Critique my arrow build - Newbie

    Going to hit archery for the first time this year. I've gotten comfortable enough with my bow over the last 4 months that I'm looking into building my hunting arrow. I don't know anything but what I've learned from y'all on here. Please critique ANYTHING you see wrong. This will be for deer in...

    Moving to Nashville - advice?

    I spent a summer there as an intern with the company and thought it was decent. Housing is actually significantly cheaper than my current location of Naples, FL. Looking like I’ll keep about $500/month in my pocket for a bigger house on more land. I’ll check out the site, thanks!

    Moving to Nashville - advice?

    Work is moving me to Nashville at the end of July. Guess I’ll have to figure out a whole new set of hunting grounds! For any central Tennessee folk: My work is in Brentwood and I’ll be flying weekly. For that reason I want to live south of the city. Brentwood, Franklin, and belle meade are out...

    Toprut “OnX Elite Expired”

    Either I haven’t figured out how to navigate Huntin’ fool, or it is in fact much worse, but top rut is far superior to HF imo. Haven’t tried anything else as I’m cheap and use the OnX benefits.

    Appreciate it. I’ve done that every time it’s acted up with no luck, but thank you!

    Toprut “OnX Elite Expired”

    80% of the time I try to log in to top rut (through OnX) it says my OnX elite is expired. I know it’s not. I check OnX immediately and I’m still an elite member. Occasionally it just works. It infuriates me when I want to look some things up and all I can view is 2019 odds because my OnX is...

    Ruined Knee?

    Glad to hear your “knee confidence” is returning. I’m 25 days post ACL surgery, and my confidence is LOW. If I’m not wearing my brace, I baby the hell out of it. I know I’m only a few weeks in to a ~6 month recovery, but It does get in to my head that my knee doesn’t feel normal yet.

    Bullet Performance; Low Velocity ELD-X, Terminal Ascent, or Accubonds?

    Not sure on -06, but I check federal’s site for .308 a couple of times a week and they have TA in stock 75% of the time. Would think you’d be able to catch em with -06 in stock after a few weeks - it’s not like it’s an obscure cartridge they’re not producing.
