    Stick on elevated rest vs shooting off the shelf

    I shoot off the shelf. I shoot instinctive and like the arrow as close to my hand as I can get it. Also, it is simple and never breaks down.

    How many strings do you go through each year?

    I make my own strings. My recurve uses fast stings. I’ve bought 2 big spools 20ish years ago and still have plenty. I put a new string about mid summer and use the old one for back up. On my homemade self bows I use linen strings. They don’t last long so I change them 2-3 times a year.

    Which traditional arrows?

    I have been shooting wooden arrows (mostly Port Orford Cedar) in all of my trad bows, for years now. I have thinking about trying something new. What arrows are you guys using? What do you like about them.

    Tuning process

    I with a new bow by making sure my brace height is where i want it to be. I'm looking for the sweet spot where my bow gets fairly quiet. After that, I put on the weight of head I intend to use and shoot a bare shaft. I cut off 1/4" at a time until the bare shaft is hitting nice and straight into...

    Fixed broadhead tuning - longer distance

    I agree with this statement. bare shafts have almost no drag compared to an arrow with fletching and Broadhead increases drag a bit more. Also, broadheads a typically longer that field points which changes the FOC. At some point downrange the higher FOC will cause the nose of the arrow to nose...

    Insert question

    If FOC is your goal, then brass inserts will be shorter for the same weight and will give you a higher FOC. Brass will also cost more. I personally haven't had any issues with aluminum inserts but i don't shoot 4mm arrows with a half-out.

    Elk Broadhead Suggestions for Low Poundage Archers

    I'd say shoot whichever fixed blade broadhead you like. I've seen a lot of elk killed with bows shooting slower than your dads. I wouldn't trouble over it too much. more important would be a good sharp broadhead that hods together and shoots good. There is a plethora of heads out there, as I'm...

    Hip Waders and Boots for Moose

    I've been using the Simms G3 guide waders for hunting. I have had good success with them they are tough and so far, no leaks at all. I have the stocking foot waders and Simms wading boots, a size big for warm socks. I have put a lot of miles in this setup.

    Hip Waders and Boots for Moose

    I have had great luck with Sims Guide waders. They have a lot of options on sizing so you get a good fit. I used Sims boots over my waders on my brown bear hunt. Bought a size big to fit warm socks. We walked a lot of mile on my hunt and the boots work good.

    Antler Point Restriction

    I sometimes hunt an area that had 3 points or better regulations. the area ended up having a bunch big 2 points in it. I fear that having a 4 points or better area would lead to a bunch of 3-point deer. i believe that in the long run it hurts the gene pool.

    Headed out. Any experience on bear behavior on cold spring days?

    I find that bears move less during a sudden cool down or rainy days. if it has been cool for a while not as much.

    Even The Wall Street Journal is Covering Elk Shed Hunting!

    Horn hunting is a big deal these days. There is enough money and bragging rights that people are trespassing and going before season to pick up antlers.
