    Unpopular Opinion: I don't like Dave Ramsey

    I don't think that "this" should be taught in schools, I think that "this" (whatever "this" is for your family), should be taught in the household. Just my opinion, but start young, my kids are 5, 3, and 1, any money they earn doing chores they are required to save half of it. Start building...

    Canada 2021

    I sure hope I can go to Sask in the fall for a waterfowl hunt, I was unable to go this year, and I was hoping to maybe go this spring for white geese, but it doesn't look promising...

    Debt help

    @PAhntr91 1. You need a budget! youneedabudget.com is what my wife and I use. 2. Do you own or rent your home? If you have home equity, you might think about a cash out refinance to consolidate some of your debt. 3. The snowballing debt is a good strategy, but there are additional strategies...

    Arrow coming off...

    Not much to add, probably nock pinch. Nock sets and a new d loop should be fine, but if you want to test, draw level, then tilt to get the angle from your tree. Then draw at the same angle as your tree and find out. fwiw, I always draw level, anchor, and then tilt at the waist on downhill...

    Struggling to find my archery path...

    I sort-of had the same dilemma a few years ago, I was so frustrated with local pro-shops and the “tuning” they did when working on my bows. I initially had the same thought as you, the “simplicity” of the traditional bow was appealing. I decided to go the other way and just buy all the...

    Easton Pro Comp Hunter Arrow Halfouts

    I shoot FMJ Injexion 4mm arrows with Iron Will D6 components right now. I haven't had any issues with them. I go back and forth between 4mm and 5mm shafts, I don't like outserts, I dont like the idea of being stuck with the valkyrie heads, although ive never tried the broadheads just the target...

    Slider VS Fixed pins for Elk

    I also like my fast Eddie xl double pin. I set my bottom pin to 40, puts my top pin about 27 yards usually, I shot my bull at 24 yards this year, didn’t have to worry about dialing i just shot him when he cleared a tree and I ranged it after the fact. ive figured that if I need to make a shot...

    Looking for better blood trails

    You won't go wrong with those Sevr blades on whitetail. I have killed 3 deer and 2 antelope with them, they are good heads. I really like the Iron Will heads as well. The bull elk i killed with an S100 this year only went about 15 yards and the blood was crazy. I will continue have Iron Will...

    Help me choose a bow

    This, but remember that this year with Covid that will likely change. Hoyt has already pushed their release into Jan. I plan on buying a 2020 model once the 2021's hit the shops...

    Bow Set Decided... Now the many questions of set up...

    Hamskea has a lifetime warranty, Devin is great to deal with. I only have needed to use the warranty one time, and thats just because I stripped part of the aluminum body with steel bolts. They replaced it quickly, and I like that they are local to me here...

    Favorite Mechanical Broadhead ?

    I’ve shot 3 deer and 2 antelope with Ulmer edge/sevr, but I had a failure on an elk. I think I will only use them for deer and smaller from now on and use iron will for elk and larger

    Peep Hell

    I measure my peep height and set it accordingly. I do this on the draw board and measure vertically from the center of the peep to the center of the shaft, it is always the same that way, regardless of string angle, as long as I anchor in the same spot. I will tie it in temporarily and then...

    Strung, Nocked, Peeped... Next? Building a great shooting bow.

    Yep, I would set your center shot, then I would shoot it 50-100 times or so to set your strings, then double check timing/peep/etc. Then you will be ready to start fine tuning...

    Remind me, archery shooting down hill ?

    I fancy myself as a math nerd as well.... never built a cut chart, trig method is fine for me, but i also will cut a few extra yards if it is a steeper angle, usually just by gut feel. example, angle compensated range finder says to aim for 50 but its pretty steep, i might dial my sight to...
