    I hear baldwin walked....

    I hear you and recognize some may feel that way. I just don’t agree. If I’m taking an inexperienced person out to shoot, they will know how to recognize proper ammo and firearm handling. Or at least be exposed to that thought process when shooting with me. Just my $.02 based on my training...

    I hear baldwin walked....

    Movie set or not many standard rules of shooting a weapon should still apply. he was handed a gun, knew he’d point it in the direction of another human, and failed to check the ammunition. He is culpable at a minimum, but he now has to live with killing an innocent human being. Different set...

    Where are my penny pinchers? Budget time

    Some great points made in here, but really it’s awesome to hear how everyone handles the grocery monster. Inflation is killing us!

    Kuiu fit recommendations

    Worn KUIU since 2017 and am a fan. I’ve always needed one size larger in pants waist, but length perfect since it was an option. Tops were same as my sizes in other gear. KUIU is made by a former athlete to fit other athletes. I guess my legs aren’t so athletic!

    Heaven forbid some liberal could be expected to know safe gun handling…

    Broadhead vs bareshaft tuning

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Seems like plenty people skip straight to BH tuning. The reason for the question is I moved and lost my home range. The area around me is very urban(not my first choice, but best move for family). my process in my last home was paper for fletched and...

    I am sure this has been asked a ton. What is your arrow weight

    Before rangefinders I was much better at range estimation and killed plenty of deer without ever ranging them, that’s why I’m with many others here…find the arrow weight that gets you around 280fps And is 400gr or more. Above 280 and they are hard to tune and sensitive to form issues. Since I...

    Broadhead vs bareshaft tuning

    i Have always skipped paper tuning and gone straight to bare shaft tuning, then Broadhead tuning. what would be the drawbacks of skipping bareshaft and going straight to BH tuning? all I can think of is target damage, but I’m betting this rabbit hole has been explored before, but I couldnt...

    Prime Revex 2, Matthews Phase 4, Hoyt RX 7 Ultra, and Prime Inline Bow Shootout!

    Do the Ph4 measure 29.5” but the cam was 28.5”? Ive never heard of this before and curious if Mathew’s measure DL differently or from a different point in the grip.

    Keeping an old bow?

    Short answer, yes, glad I kept my old bow. I always sold my old bow after I bought a new one; until I bought my latest. I kept my SXT(14yrs old) as a backup. I do enjoy shooting it every so often, but it is also the smoothest shooting bow I’ve ever shot and I got brand new limbs for it under...

    Any science behind offset degree vs arrow weight or FOC?

    since the OP made the reloading comparison, there is no scientific method for best bullet to make a .5 MOA rifle either. Each barrel likes a different bullet, it takes trial and error to find that perfection. As was suggested, fletch 3 each in all of your configurations; go shoot a BH at your...

    Good luck and send us a trip report! I haven’t hunted Maui yet but would like to soon.

    Any science behind offset degree vs arrow weight or FOC?

    It seems you are like most of us gear heads in that you are searching for perfection. You’re tuning your arrows for most efficient flight. No fault there. But to the point of overthinking it, you likely are doing just that. I went down this rabbit hole but with 3-, 4-, 6-fletch to increase...

    Axis deer info, please

    Excellent table fare. I’ve successfully hunted them on Lanai, but that island is in decline right now due to many factors. For a simple hunt, I don’t think you can beat Molokai guided. My neighbor has used 2 different outfitters over there for $1000 per day or less with everything included...

    Hawaii Hunting

    Good luck out there. Saw some nice bucks just off the main road to the beach during the youth hunt. No telling where they are now that it’s 6 weeks into the state hunt.

    Hawaii Hunt?

    Hunted Lanai last month with my son during the youth hunt. I’m not sure I noticed that severe of a decline in animals, but it was a tougher hunt that others in the last couple years. Was the survey done by DLNR or Pulama?

    Hawaii Hunting

    Moved to HI almost 2 years ago. I’ve been on 6 Lanai hunts in that time and made some great friends and met tons of helpful people. It’s all about how humble you come across. Oahu is a different story, but there are good people willing to help. I’ve even been offered a chance to take my son...

    DIY Hawaii axis deer hunt

    If on Maui, take the ferry over to Lana’i and hunt the private land with a day fee.

    Broadhead

    Curious why you’d switch from viper trick to wicked trick. Is it just for the larger bleeder blades?
