I ran a 3 degree helical 3 fletch on my Victoy VAP TKOs no issue. Just take the time and make sure everything is lined up before gluing. I haven't paid or asked a shop to fletch arrows in years. A fletching gig was the first piece of home equipment I bought for the home shop an have never...
I really like the idea of running that trophy ridge scope on the tommy hogg. Do the mounting screws line up or did you have to modify the scope or Tommy Hogg?
Never really cared for the double pin my self, I prefer to have a single pin or 3 pin that I can set to the yardages I want.

I make my own dehydrated meals because I am looking for something similar to what I eat at home on a regular basis. This keeps me in the woods longer and takes away any excuse for coming home because of trail food.
I have never had one of my meals mold on me. I tend to over dehydrate though...
I have had good experience with the Hi Mountain seasoning kits. I have used the Summer sausage and snack stix kits with great success, just follow the instructions. I usually add high temp cheese and jalapenos to the summer sausage.
I have also had good results with the LEM seasoning products...
Generally for venison (elk deer, etc.) I use the 3/16 for all my burger. If I am making chicken or pork sausage I like a meater bite and use the 3/8. I really haven't found the need to double grind any of the products I make yet.
<edit> To answer the OP questions . I have a 3/4 grinder and wish...
I recently did the same thing with e mule deer. This is the first time I have left the back strap in large chunks. I will definitely be doing this in the future. It makes the cook so much easier and end result much better. I always use a meat probe and pull it around 125 for rare to med rare (A...
I have had the 3/4HP Number 12 for going on 8 years now and it has been great. I do wish I had gotten the 1HP number 22 on occasion when I am making large batches of ground or sausage (50LB or more). When I bought mine there was only a $50.00 difference in price. It does take slightly longer...
I do not have any personal experience with the RAM bow vice. I do have an OMP for my home shop and love it. It holds all the bows I have, and all my buddies bows that I have done work on. I do not have the optional wide mount arm and have gotten by just fine with the Prime CT9 which has pretty...
Are you after visual appeal or flavor?
If I am making something like summer sausage or snack stix I use high melt cheese because it holds its shape and looks visually appealing when it is sliced. It also has a nice texture.
If I am making fresh cheese brats I tend to use a good sharp cheddar...
I struggled when I first started making fresh sausages with game meat. The thing that changed my product from having brick like consistency was adding about 25% pork shoulder to my mix. Without the pork/pork fat I feel like the links are too dense similar to an overcooked meatloaf.
In talking...
I would recommend looking at a horizontal stuffer in the 15 to 25lb range. I have a 11lb vertical stuffer and end up with about a pound and a half of waste that can't be stuffed due the the angled tube at the bottom. I have tried the ice, bread, etc. and never really had great results in getting...
Correct they snap over the arrow shaft and broadhead. I like this because I can leave my arrows and broadhead assembled and carry them safely. I wouldn't use them as a replacement for a quiver, but they sure are nice for packing spare arrow/broadhead sets. I also use these when storing my...
