    Arrow Spine Question

    in the big picture, I agree, it probably isn't making a big difference. It does affect the shot cycle though as it changes the transfer of energy through the arrow as well as into the animal. also, the shock I'm referring to is to the arrow or shot cycle, not felt shock. I agree, there's no...

    Broke a Rem 770 243 bolt

    rich, since you're in fla think outside the box. there are a few places by you that do race car fabrication and may be willing to help you. tig welding is the same for anything.

    Arrow Spine Question

    the purpose of flex is to slow the transfer of energy and absorb the shock of the shot cycle. to some degree I believe it also covers up imperfections during the shot. an arrow that is very stiff will be more efficient but also has drawbacks. strings don't always go straight on release so less...

    Help with Electrician Apprentice tools

    commercial new construction is nice, tell him to stick with that. it's easier than dealing with existing and usually more money. there really isn't much needed in the way of tools for new construction and with time some tools on the list will be left at home and others added. as an apprentice...

    Practice time

    there's a big difference between once a week or even a month and once a year lol. it's not so much about the bow as it is the muscles used for archery. kinda hard to retrain muscles in a few weeks, especially if you also have a bow issue like strings stretching. but at least he hit the target lol.

    Help with Electrician Apprentice tools

    that list is interesting for an electrician. do you know what area of electrical he is doing? it definitely matters. half of those things will not be needed if he's good and a sawzall is questionable but the codes here are different. look at tools that are multi purpose, screwdriver with pin...

    New to archery.. picking arrows and broad heads!

    340 works fine up to 65 lbs at that draw with 100 gn head. broadhead choice is not overly important for whitetail. as a new bowhunter you should save your money and focus on learning and shooting, once you become comfortable and proficient then you can look at different gear. whitetails are...

    Seeking Best Idaho Fish and Game Attorney

    here's the thing, many on this forum alone have moved to different states and yet we have never had a problem. it's really not hard to follow rules, in fact, it may actually be harder to try to "beat the man". most states to my knowledge have a min. 6 month live in state rule and must establish...

    Seeking Best Idaho Fish and Game Attorney

    while were on this subject, do you guys think if I put up camp a few months before season I can apply for residency? I'll only be "living" there for a few weeks though, but I'll buy food and gas in the state so that counts for something right? and I'm pretty sure I'm 1/32 Cherokee on my...

    Seeking Best Idaho Fish and Game Attorney

    I'd like to know what stupid thing you were doing in the first place to get checked by a warden. officers are not doing full background checks during a routine check so you were obviously up to no good.

    Seeking Best Idaho Fish and Game Attorney

    the fact that you were trying to hunt elk with a fishing license is the first red flag. were you using an elk hair caddis?

    New Record! Colorado elk…

    while I agree with you I'm going to ask a question. did you spend any time talking to the guy? or were you just angry and made a comment? I'm going to tell you story from a few years ago that is very similar to your situation. it was elk opener, a local guy was out hunting grouse. he was...

    New Record! Colorado elk…

    youtube is not boots on the ground, it's not a person watching them, it's not even a valid way to learn. you are there and you see something wrong that a hunter is doing so the correct thing to do is take 10 min of your precious time and teach that hunter what little you know. it's not about...

    New Record! Colorado elk…

    curious how many res. on here can tell me what is special about opening elk that might draw a ton of people to public land? will getting rid of OTC change this special event? when you see new hunters and clearly know they haven't a clue, should you throw a hissy fit or maybe sit with them and...

    Bow troubles, really need some advice please.

    first, where do you live? there are plenty of guys on here who can point you to a reputable shop or even help you out themselves. second, that bow is a yoke tuned bow, so as is typical, that shop probably had no idea how to yoke tune and had it set up wrong. a bow that is set up correctly will...

    Brainstorming our first black bear hunt

    baiting is usually thought of as a pile of food, but it can be many things. research densities for the areas you want to hunt and find the habitat that typically holds bear. learn about honey burns and eat a good breakfast in the woods (maple bacon) and the bear will find you pretty quickly if...

    NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE GETTING BROKEN INTO. WHAT DO YOU DO?

    does this scenario take place during hunting season? do you own a backhoe or live by a river? these are the important questions.

    Tell me what’s wrong

    cope, take a tape measure, hold your bow arm out normal, measure from the center of your palm to the center of your chest. this should get you pretty close to your actual draw length. do not reach or stretch your arm. also, bow elbow out not down. use your wrist to turn the bow. relax your...
