    Oregon Archery Elk & Fall Equinox

    Why has Oregon historically opened up so early for archery elk? I understand there are 4 estrus cycles, but I also believe that the Fall Equinox is proven science where the breeding period aligns close to this date. I understand the reasoning behind hunting the week before the Equinox, but...

    Curious if anyone has attached the HPG Decker Pocket to a Kifaru frame? I'm wanting to know if it's compatible. It looks similar to the Stryker but I think the Decker pocket may be a bit bigger and lighter. Thoughts?

    So I went on a hike after work on Friday afternoon. On Saturday evening I found a tick lodged in my back. I was able to carefully remove it and followed up with the doctor today to take a dose of antibiotics as a precaution against Lyme disease. I know spring is always worse than summer with...

    Tuning Broadheads: no rest adjustment?

    My son has a QAD rest that isn’t adjustable. How do I tune his broadhead if it’s hitting below his field points? I’m assuming I have to adjust his string loop but I am not sure how? Thanks for the help.

    My son is archery hunting for the first time this year and will be turning 13. I am looking to get him an accurate, simple, and economical range finder. I was thinking of the Vortex Impact because of the simplicity and warranty. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    FOC benefit, Short DL

    Question for you guys... Can a short draw length benefit from a heavier arrow or FOC? I have a 26” draw length. I have been successful bow hunting last 3 years with Easton axis 400g and 100g trocars. Bow is dialed. I shoot all the time. I’ve always had good shots. But every shot has gone...

    Speeding up a bow & Pin Adjustment

    My bow is set at about 63#’s. 27.5” draw. Field points and broadheads grouping nicely out to 80 yards. (I don’t shoot past that for now). Using a SH 5 pin slider. If I increased my poundage, I assume I would be grouping high, but would a simple adjustment of my slider bring all pins back into...

    I am taking a vacation to Maui this summer and looking into the possibility of a 1-day archery pig hunt. Anybody have thoughts on the best way to do this?

    Shooting w/out a stabilizer

    Any of you hunt without a stabilizer? Is there ever a time that shooting without a stabilizer is an advantage? I have shot a bunch with and without and I dont notice a meaningful difference even in windy conditions. Could the weight of my sight (Spot Hogg) be enough to stabilize the bow?

    Hudson Tipi (Jimmy Tarp)

    I saw some pretty cool pictures online of Jimmy Tarp's new "Hudson Tipi". Looks very nice and spacious...almost 10x10, similar to the Tut 4 man, but shorter in height. Still looks tall enough for a chair. Less than 2lbs. Look like a great solo shelter and looks big enough for two guys and a...
