    I’m not much into politics, but man this burns my a**

    Not exactly my thought. It must be out of a sense of altruism, like Ford paying higher wages than he had to out of a sense of doing right by the people. It is more about ethics, morals, and being as concerned with the welfare of others and society as you do for yourself.

    I’m not much into politics, but man this burns my a**

    Not at all what I am suggesting. I believe in listening to dissenting views, trying to understand them from the other's perspective, and then evaluating those ideas in the context of your own views. If you still believe you are right at the end that is fine. Fearing or being closed to...

    Kifaru Nomad impressions?

    I ran a Nomad 1 for one season and while I liked the concept, I found it to be a PIA and far less functional than the Crew Cab I had run previous years, especially when packing bone-in elk quarters. The fact that the wings were fixed to the bag is specifically the issue I had with it. It was...

    I’m not much into politics, but man this burns my a**

    I grew up in NE when Kearney was the HQ. I was so excited for our trips there that I couldn't sleep the night before going. When I first visited the Sidney store I was in awe, it was heaven. Now I live in MT and won't even set foot in Cabelas because they have gone downhill in quality and...

    HIT OR HALF OUT

    BE Rampage w/ HITs for 3 or 4 years now for me. I really like that they can't bend or install unsquare, AND you can resquare the shaft if you notice a little wobble on a broadhead (which has always fixed any wobble for me). There are a couple little tricks to installing them consistently...

    Carpal Tunnel or elbow joint pain from Archery?

    😂 Well, I don't drink much at all any more, if ever, especially ice fishing. And I don't use a hut if my kids aren't with me. And jigging for ling for hours is the absolute epitome of repetitive...

    Carpal Tunnel or elbow joint pain from Archery?

    BTW, it sounds like it could be tennis elbow...I got a severe case ice fishing a few years ago. Fortunately it is relatively easy to work yourself out of. A little googling or a trip to a PT will get you fixed up in relative short order.

    Carpal Tunnel or elbow joint pain from Archery?

    I feel your pain...well not exactly, but similar. I've got a ridiculous ache in my front shoulder right now that has me not shooting. It is freaking hard to not shoot, but I guess if there ever was a time of year to lay off it is now. Get well soon!!!

    Best compound strings and cables?

    Winner's Choice about 5 years ago. Vapor Trail about 3 years. ABB about two years ago (I forgot what I didn't like about ABB, other than the counterclockwise twist messed with my head in terms of tuning), which was the last set I bought before starting to build my own. Kind of hard to...

    Best compound strings and cables?

    The last sets I bought for myself were Winner's Choice which were OK, ABB which were also OK, but my LAST set of Vapor Trails were so bad I decided to start building my own. Again my experiences with Vapor Trail were terrible, the only thing they have going for them is good customer service...

    Books on DIY bow set up

    Why do you need a book? Archery Talk has hundreds of experts just aching to share all sorts of information! But seriously I really wanted a manual a few years ago when I dove down the rabbit hole and never found one. The Nuts and Bolts is a great reference, the most complete I have found...

    Your most haunting or embarrassing missed shots.

    My name is Gumbo and I have target panic (aka buck/bull fever). I don't shake, I rush shots. I emptied my quiver (5 arrows) in ONE DAY without cutting an elk hair this year. Happened while I shadowed a herd for about 6 hours. I even had two big bulls absolutely battle each other at 80 yards...

    Shrink wrap fletchings experiences?

    I'd be more worried about my limbs exploding than my fletching softening! But in all seriousness, how difficult is it to use a standard jig? And how many times have had to replace fletching in the field? Maybe I'm completely wrong (I have no experience with them whatsoever) but it seems like...
