    Debt and the Hunter

    I really enjoy threads like this. I'm 29 myself and me and my wife just paid off everything we own besides the house last month. We just had our first baby back in October and that completely changed the way I view everything in my life. I picked up and extra job after I found out my wife was...

    I want Swaro SLC -vs- I have Maven B1

    I have a set of Maven B2's 9x45. Even after I bought them I still wanted the swaros. So the past few archery tournaments I have been to I have looked through everyone else's pair of swaro's, GPO, Leica's and other high end bino's. After looking through several binocular's costing way more than...

    T and K hunting gear

    The period as the thread title is a sure sign of a dumpster fire... I'd probably change that back. You'll get a lot less attention.

    Are nock sets necessary?

    I like to use unwaxed dental floss if I dont have the right serving diameter handy. A lot cheaper, easier to fool with and works perfect.

    Which Pack do I Need?

    I would love to be able to try on all the different packs. In the area I live I would bet I don't live within 100 miles of a backpack that costs over $100. The hunters around these parts are Walmart pro staffers so my only option is online information.

    Are nock sets necessary?

    Nock sets are not necessary but makes it easier to replace the loop in a hurry if need be. Also keeps the dloop from working in and causing nock pinch.

    Which Pack do I Need?

    I’m leaning heavily toward kifaru just because of the many options of bag styles. Is there any other backpacks I should be looking at for a duel purpose rig?

    Which Pack do I Need?

    Yeah I'm 6'2 and 195 pounds. So is there a certain length frame for me? Should you go with a longer frame just for versatility?

    Which Pack do I Need?

    For the most part I am an eastern mountain whitetail hunter but would like a pack I could quarter a deer and haul it out with. Treestand hunting would be the primary use with the ability to haul meat. I have looked at the Kifaru Stryker and Mystery Ranch Metcalf and feel like either would be...

    BROADHEAD TUNING... STUMPED

    They hit at 50 but that much low left at 60? I'm not 100% sure but theres a decent chance you don't have enough vane. When the arrow starts to slow down the broadhead will start to plane and do some odd stuff. I've had set ups that would shoot a bareshaft with a fletched arrow at 30 yards and...

    Center serving

    If it’s unraveling I’ll cut it all off and reserve. If the serving is still tight I will take a kitchen fork and pull the serving back together. Depends on if its pinching up and messing with my nock fit.

    Ever find a trail camera?

    To each their own. I run over 30 cameras on public ground and don't care one bit for anybody to check them as long as they don't take my stuff. No different then hanging a stand and somebody hunting it when you ain't there.

    Ever find a trail camera?

    If it's on public land and not locked then it's public information... I always keep a card reader with me.

    HELP! Speed nock info needed!

    Unless you’re needing the extra speed I dont think you’re missing out on much. With the right speed nock set up the most Speed I could squeak out of a double cam bow was 8-9 fps. I only used the nocks for tuning purposes if I couldnt get a high or low tear out of a bow. This was very common with...

    Sevr Broadheads

    I shot the 1.5" 125's last year and they were phenomenal. IMO one of the best mechanical on the market for dependability and performance. If I we're planning for longer shots the 1.5's would def be on top of my list.

    Saddle vs Tree Stand for Stationary Hunting

    I find my saddle much more comfortable to hunt out of than my lock on. I've bought and sold saddles to find the exact one I felt gave me the most comfort. After I got it dialed in I was very happy with my decision. I sit/lean all day in it with no issues. Basically every lock on will give you...

    Cheap trail camera

    I've not had trouble with the first one. Between me and my hunting buddies we run close to 40 Tascos and they have all performed the same.

    Cheap trail camera

    $28 Tasco from Walmart. Got a bunch I've ran for 3 years now. I went and pulled one I had set out in october just the other day. 6800 pictures on the card and it took a picture of me walking up to the camera. Picture and video quality will surprise you. I think I have 22 of them now and havent...

    Snake boots/gaiters

    I wear the Irish Setter VaprTreks and they're a decent boot. Ill put 60+ miles on mine spring-early fall and they will last me about 3 years. Not ideal for a lot of miles but they're OK. Honestly if I was going to cover more than 4-5 miles a day I would go with a taller hiking boot and take my...

    Left vs Right Helical

    The natural turn of the bareshaft has to do with how the strings were twisted when they were built. 90% of strings will spin the bareshaft naturally left. If you are extremely particular about your set up and it helps you mentally then go for the left helical. Most people will never shoot good...
