    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    Agreed! My concern with speed is more based on wanting to practice at far distances. If I slow my bow down below 240, it limits my tapes majorly. As it relates to hunting, any weight would be plenty fine for 20-30 yard shooting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    I agree with you wholeheartedly. Some people just like to be disrespectful and act like they know everything. We all learn from our experiences, and I haven’t found reason to make my bow slower than 280.. yet, but I may change that if I have an incident that causes me to reevaluate. Sent from...

    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    Thanks! I would agree. Not too fast, not too slow. Pretty good middle of the road weight for an all-purpose arrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    It’s not heavy for western hunting, but as I mentioned in a previous comment, my arrows (just shy of 500 grains) are heavy by the standards of where I live and what I hunt. Most people I know shoot an 8.4 grain per inch arrow, to me, that is very light. Mine, at 10.7 grains per inch is middle of...

    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    I get the impression you just enjoy disagreeing with me, but what I’m trying to explain is that where I live, and what I hunt, I do not know many people at all that shoot over an 8.4 grains per inch arrow. I’m sure they exist, but I haven’t met many of them here in the east. Unfortunately, for...

    Couldn’t agree more. Experience shapes opinions, each person has different needs for their differing hunting experiences, and I think your setup is excellent for your style of big game hunting. Thanks again for the comments! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    Very true! Like I said in the video, that is (in my mind) an ideal “middle of the road” arrow weight for people who want a faster arrow for whitetail that is also capable of harvesting elk. 450-470 is what most whitetail hunters would consider an insanely heavy arrow. Elk hunters may not see...

    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    For sure, like I said if I hunted larger game consistently I would go heavier. I’m sure it’s great for your purposes, but I hunt elk every few years, other than that it’s strictly whitetails, and for whitetails a 450 grain arrow is plenty heavy. (In my experience) I’ve only ever gotten...

    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    Right along the lines of my thoughts. I think that’s a very versatile weight that strikes a good balance between speed and penetration. I bet that’s a killer setup! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    My biggest complaint with feathers is the lack of durability and weather resistance. I haven’t personally had issues steering Broadheads even with only a slightly higher than average FOC, but if I did I would certainly load up the weight up front like you said. I like a balance between...

    Ideal Arrow Weight?

    What is your idea for an idea arrow weight for both elk and deer hunting? Something middle of the road as far as weight and speed?

    Tough outdoor pants

    Nylon is inherently tougher (comparing one fiber of nylon to one fiber of poly) which allows the pants to be woven looser, using less material to achieve the same strength. So nylon pants tend to be equally durable or more durable for the same weight with increased stretch and breathability over...

    Tough outdoor pants

    Hard to beat the Prana Zion for that. Super tough, super comfortable, light and functional. Good fit, too! The First Lite Corrugates are nice too but the sizing is a little funky on those for me. Anything made of nylon is going to be a good bet for durability and comfort. I did a video on the...
