    We are building a new 3D trail, any advice? How many targets does your range have?

    We are building new 3D trails at my local range. The plan is to have 2 trails with at least 30 targets per side with the standard compound, trad and youth stakes to shoot from. We are also going to have at least 40 long range or extreme stakes to shoot from and will have some wheelchair...

    Any good moose hunting resources?

    My friend and I drew a decent moose tag here in beautiful BC for the second half of October. Fortunately he is much more knowledgeable than I am but are there any good moose hunting resources like elk 101 out there I can study up on?

    Which nock on release? Already have the nock 2 it

    I’d like to get a new release. I shoot pretty good with the nock 2 it but at times I can punch the trigger. Like everyone says I’m not sure I’ll stray from the button when hunting but I’d like to work on things and I’d like to keep the same size/shape2 finger thing. So back tension or hinge...

    Grand Prairie Texas guys

    Looks like I will be in Grand Prairie for 4 weeks in September on training so I’m looking for cool stuff to do. I will probably bring my bow so is there any ranges in the area that aren’t too expensive? It’s not very often I’m kid/family free so I could shoot pretty much every day. Any 3D...

    Any info on getting sponsors for the local archery range?

    Anyone involved with their local archery range know what advertising is worth? We have lots of space for banners etc. and are looking to help raise funds and prizes for the 3D shoots and new targets on our not-for-profit range. What are you getting in exchange for advertising space? If you...

    How much straightness can you add per inch of arrow cut off?

    I've been using the Axis match 5mm for the last while but the price has almost doubled since I bought my last dozen about a year ago. The non-match ones are now the same price I paid last February so I'm wondering if anyone has figured out an average of how much straighter the arrows are if you...

    WTB $44 USD First lite gift card

    Any WKRs willing to help me out? I need a $44 USD gift card to first lite to pick something up on the big sale they are having. Being in Canada I can’t shop in USD but I have some USD store credit I want to use and it’s not quite enough to get what I want. I can PayPal you the $ to cover it...

    Canadians buying First lite, can't buy in USD or have items shipped to the USA

    Kind of a rant but I have a $130 USD FL store credit I can't use. After buying a SEAK jacket a few years back and it leaked, they sent me a replacement which also ended up leaking so I got store credit in exchange for it. Bought a couple pairs of pants I had to exchange because of sizing issues...

    5mm Axis match vs Black eagle rampage 300 spine

    Im currently shooting the 5mm Axis match in 300 spine. My arrows weigh about 535 grains. Just switching to the BE rampage in 300 spine will cut almost 60 grains if all my component weights stay the same since the arrows are 2 grains lighter per inch. The BE 250 spine is the same weight and...

    How do you carry your bow on your ATV?

    I used to have a sweet 4x4 that I could get down some nasty roads in and hike from there, now I have a glorified grocery getter half ton so I take the ATV in and hike from there. My pack gets strapped to the front rack and I have one of those neoprene bow covers with a shoulder strap but I’ve...

    Help me with peep hole size please.

    I need a smaller peep. Currently have a 3/16 but even when I run the dovetail as short as possible I still see a gap around my sight housing ring. What size would you guys recommend for a hunting and target bow? Here’s the bow specs and a pic of where I’ve normally got my dovetail set; Axius...

    Some cool 3D stuff happening at my local range, come out and test yourself!

    Hey, I did get this cleared with Rokslide prior to posting. Edit for this year's 3D season: We are back at it, any Washington guys or anyone else looking for some 3D just north of the border. We have a 2-day 3D shoot coming up the weekend of June 24-25. Free camping starting on Friday night...

    What’s the trad equivalent to the 100Y compound shot?

    I don’t know anything about traditional archery, I only shoot a compound. Looking for a little help in setting up a target for trad archers that would be a similar challenge to a 100 yard compound shot for an upcoming tournament at my local range. Thanks!

    Any A&P mechanics? I'm a Canadian AME and would like to work in the USA

    For reasons we don't need to discuss (political wink wink) I want to expand my options. I'm a helicopter mechanic with about 10 years working experience mostly on AS350 B to B3e/H125 but also some other aircraft. I have spent some time working in the USA mostly on LE aircraft but my L1 visa...

    Crossroad telescopic stabilizer. Worth it?

    I did a search and didn't find too much recent info. I just broke my DIY 12" stab on my last trip so I'm entertaining the idea of actually buying one. I'm thinking about the 1233 because I want a 12" minimum for when I'm carrying my bow in my left hand, the stab runs up the back of my arm and...

    Wanted, one First lite Sawtooth jacket in a solid colour. Prefer Conifer but might look at a different solid but no black. I'm in Canada so shipping will be a bit more for me. Thanks!

    Don't trust the numbers, actually do the math yourself.

    Just thought I would throw a tip out there that I just learned. I just put some new arrows together and this time instead of trusting the qSpine app numbers, I actually measured and did the math myself and found the FOC was not right in the app. I'm not quite at the point of building my own...

    What fitness app?

    Is there a decent app out there you input what equipment you have and goals that gives you a decent program to follow? I seem to come across great plans but I don’t have all the equipment needed to do them and I’m too stupid to figure out an alternative exercise. Basically I need a workout...

    Need some advice getting my local range back in shape.

    Hey smart guys, my local archery 2D range sucks big time so I volunteered to help get it back into shape. The problem is due to covid there weren't any 3D shoots last year so they only made $700 all year. So not much if any money available for new targets. So I'm looking for the cheapest option...
