    Cheap amazon thumb release?

    Save yourself the $25. I can tell you right now, you’ll hate it and never want to try a real quality thumb release. I bought a couple cheaper made releases and didn’t care for them and they were name brand. Finally made the jump and bought a Carter. I now own 2 and no finger trigger releases...

    Whitetail Arrow Weight

    First of all, you’re nitpicking over peanuts. The difference between a 475 and 520 grain arrow is minimal. The difference between 290and 305 fps is minimal. Couple things to keep in mind. A heavy arrow will retain energy and velocity better than a light weight arrow. It will also stay on track...

    Whitetail Arrow Weight

    Sorry, but I’m probably not the best to ask about a “whitetail” arrow. I build one arrow that tunes and flys great with a broadhead and that’s what I shoot. Don’t worry about a 3D, whitetail or elk arrow. My current setup is a 490 grain arrow at 66#. Works just fine for me.

    How many packs is too many?...

    I don’t ask how many purses my wife has and she doesn’t ask about packs. I’m guessing she’s head in numbers and cost.

    Everyone's 2024 Broadhead Results?

    I don’t. I’ve been a fixed blade COC for 40 years. Did try the Hypodermic and SpitFires once. Did not care for them. I personally like the extra blades on the Hybrid and they fly with my FP, but then so do ViperTricks.

    Everyone's 2024 Broadhead Results?

    Switched to Sevr Ti 1.5 Hybrids this year. I’ve never been a mechanical fan until now. Both deer I shot were 21-25 yards and I watched both fall in 30 yards or less. Going to try the 2.0 on spring turkey.

    Whats your Black Bear Caliber?

    When I’m not hunting with my bow, which the majority of the time, I carry a Remington 673 in 300 saum. Short, light, points like a shotgun and packs a punch.

    Someone smarter than me

    Buy points in Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. Throw my hat in the ring in New Mexico. You’ve already got a hunting license in Utah and Colorado, so a OTC elk tag is a solid backup plan. Pretty much my playbook.

    Multi Pin Sight Setup for Elk

    Switched from a SH 7 pin to a Fast Eddie 3 pin, all .10. Pins set at 20, 30 and 40, but I can adjust the top pin out to 70. It’s been working great for 3 years now.

    ATV to a SxS Who’s made the switch?

    After looking around at some SxS in the area, I’ve pretty much decided to go a different route. Wasn’t impressed with the size of the beds at the units I was looking at. Power seems to be a small issue with the 50” units. Think I’m going with a bigger quad, 660-800, and a small trailer I can...

    Wyoming Region question.

    Thank you sir. I don’t know why I couldn’t find that other than I’m trying to look on my phone instead of computer.

    Wyoming Region question.

    Haven’t applied in Wyoming since the Regions thing. My question is, if I apply for a Southern Region general tag, can I still buy the Special Archery and hunt the archery season. Haven’t found it in the regs nor in a search here. Thanks

    ATV to a SxS Who’s made the switch?

    At 63, I’m thinking about switching from my Rancher and Sportsman to a Rzr 570. Riding very far kills my back, I cringe when I take my truck on a forest service road and loading them in the trunk is starting to bother me. Figure I can run it down the road 10 miles to one of my hunting spots...

    How long have you old timers been married?

    My bride has put up with me for 28 years so far. Don’t know how she does it sometimes. She’s not a hunter, but she loves to tag along and help out. She drags me along on all her adventures, cruises, all inclusives and river cruises. She’s a Travel Advisor which sure helps when I need a quick...

    Archery Turkey Setups

    Started using the Sevr 1.5 Hybrid this year for whitetail with great results, thinking I’m going to continue to use them for turkey and bear this spring.

    VTM 34

    Mine is 60-70 and shoot it at 66. Wish I could have got it as a 55-65.

    Foam in Hard Cases

    My SKB double has a divider to separate the bows. I took it out when not packing 2. Have a small MTM arrow case that fits in the case along with another plastic case for broadheads, release and some tools. Once all that’s in there, pack my base layers and soft clothes around it all. Not had a...

    VTM 34

    Bought a new old stock in September. Had 2 Axius Ultras and was looking for an Alpha X 33. Shot both and couldn’t find much difference. I did like the idea of 1/4” draw adjustments, but for the extra money, I went home with the VTM. Got it setup one morning and the thing is awesome. Ended up...
