    5 pin fixed vs 5 pin slider

    5 for sure, I like 6 personally and the 2" housing. My advice is to make a bunch of photocopies of the tapes, cut them out, and use scotch tape to attach them to your sight. I've done this for the last few years with no issues and it allows you to switch them out if you need to go slower or...

    Slider VS Fixed pins for Elk

    I've shot 5 and 6 pins for the last decade or so, the last three being on a slider. I decided to try a 4-pin to force myself to dial on longer shots...it lasted one trip to the range. Having to dial up and down that much sucks. I'd way rather have 5 or 6 pins, which is essentially a fixed pin...

    EZ V Bow Sight

    I seem to remember him being booted...I was glad. The Fairy and that sight are both trainwrecks. If you are going to go that route you might as well shoot a recurve.

    How do You shoot a hinge?

    ^^^^ This is the absolute truth for me. I shoot a hinge and am currently pulling through with my shoulder with a relaxed release hand and strong front shoulder. I just shot my first deer with it and it was exactly what the doc ordered. No trigger to hammer, and thinking 'Pull, Pull, Pull'...

    Montana 2020 Velvet Repeat

    Last year I was lucky enough to shoot a very nice, perfect velvet whitetail on the Montana archery opener, 9/7/19. One year to the day later (although not the opener) and about a mile away I was lucky enough to shoot a beautiful, public land velvet muley. This was also my first animal shot...

    Bitzenburger Offset Markings

    Also, I shoot .204 diameter arrows and use as much offset with a helical clamp that I can still get good contact with. I would recommend starting with as much, or nearly as much offset as you can get in either straight or helical. The thing with the helical clamp on a bitz is that while there...

    Bitzenburger Offset Markings

    Once you get it set just draw a line with a extra fine sharpie across each of the rotating pieces (John Dudley tip). If you have another arrow that needs a different offset make a new line with in a different color. Personally, I have three jigs, each set for a specific arrow, that way I don't...

    Halfouts and hidden inserts advice

    What are you using for glue? I use HITs without collars and don't seem to have that many issues with mushroomed tips, but I do expect it when I miss and slam into something hard. It is part of the cost of using .204 diameter shafts. I tried the IW collars but wasn't impressed, sure they made...

    Elk kill kit

    So I use caribou bags and slide them on a quarter before I remove the quarter from the carcass. I actually begin putting the bag on each quarter a little at a time as removal allows, basically inching it up as I disarticulate the appendage. This keeps the quarter pretty damn clean. Of course...

    Hoyt

    To the best of my knowledge (and please correct me if I'm wrong), Hoyt didn't "recall" anything...they just reworked the cam the subsequent year as 2.1 and anyone who who had the 2.0 cam was stuck with them. If I understand correctly that is pretty lame...

    Pin size: .019 or .010

    Easiest for me is GGYGG with 0.019 top 3 (20, 30, 40) and 0.010 bottom 2. With the middle pin being yellow at 40 it is a no brainer to figure out the yardage of the other pins. Plus you get the benefit of having green for almost all of your pins, including the 50 and 60 0.010 pins, which is...

    Garmin inReach necessity

    I considered an InReach after my PLB battery died, I even bought one then returned it for another PLB. I think I'd rather have a stronger signal and reach out for the govt to come get me instead of some private folks who are also trying to sell me an insurance policy under the threat of an...
