    Archery Confidence: Searching for Swagger

    For me, consistent practice was key in my archery swagger path. That and treating it like a weight room. I am always practicing to improve. That meant stretching the distance until 100yds. Then it became to start every session at 100yds and keep 6 arrows in 6 inches. Then I had an injury...

    New D loop now POI changed

    👆this. The new loop is likely much stiffer than your old loop. That change in tension along with the different material(maybe different weight) could have you out of tune.

    Broadhead vs bareshaft tuning

    I went to BH tuning only after setting my bow up this year. Not sure I’ll ever paper or BS tune again. For me it was so much faster, but bow was admittedly in perfect tune I just changed modules to drop 15# of draw weight.

    Who's going to be the first hunting 'celebrity' or Youtube personality to put their foot down and stop using cellular cameras?

    Exactly my thoughts. i use mine to monitor my farm from thousands of miles away. The pics themselves are just as entertaining as the hunts now that I can’t make it back every year.

    Cell trail cam recommendations

    I run 10 SPYPOINT Link and 4 flex. Set the uplink to every 6hrs and the lithium batteries last one full year. I bought the base membership and it has met my needs just fine. 250 pics per camera fits my need given that baiting is illegal where I am. also had 3 bushnell and the pic quality was...

    Long-range deer?

    Grew up in South Georgia and 250 was my longest shot with most within 150yds. moved to Oklahoma and longest became 540, but most were under 250. In parts of the west, it’s hard to understand how little cover exists for vast stretches

    Experience with .375 Ruger?

    A good friend of mine guided for decades in Alaska. He started with an 8mm REM and quickly moved up to a 375 H&H. He said that one rifle was all he’d ever carry in Alaska. With the Ruger being a ballistic twin, I don’t think you can go wrong. I built a 338/375 Ruger improved a couple months...
