    Which broadhead are you guys using?

    Love my Simmons Swamp Sharks that I switched to last year. Nothing made it farther than 30 yards with amazing blood trails. They fly equally well from both my trad bows and my compounds.

    Is traditional archery hunting unethical?

    I took up the trad bow two years ago at Thanksgiving because the compound had become too easy and I wanted to add more of a challenge to my hunting. After 3 weeks of at least 50 arrows a morning I was confident I could kill a deer inside 20 yards. I was gap shooting and two month later in Feb of...

    Elk pack size

    If you're looking at MR I would suggest looking at the Terraframe series. They have the same frame as the Metcalf but in solids targeted to the backpacking person and for significant savings. Moosejaw has 20% off one full price item and they often have bigger sales. Also they have points...

    1st Elk Hunt - Colorado

    2020 the world shut down with Covid and my wife who has never given me a hard time about hunting in the almost 40 years we've been together put her foot down especially with the altitude sickness my son had the year before. Then 2021 he signed up for the Navy he has been with them since. He...

    Spoken like a true fan boy. I am not a fanboy of any brand. I work hard for my money and buy what ever I feel is the best value that fit's into my budget. As I said I would love to buy a Kifaru but it would be a waste of money for me do to the limited amount of use it would get. I did add...

    Kifaru no matter how you look at it is a small niche market company. They have a loud following on niche hunting sites but the average hunter has never heard of them When I hunted Colorado the few people I bumped into Mystery Ranch was represented by the most including my son and I. Ironically...

    If you were just starting out what pack would you buy?

    I would take the Terraframe packs over the Metcalf and did with the Terraframe 50. It’s a bigger Pintler. They offer a 65 and an 80 liter version too that look like the Marshall or the Glacier packs. They use the same frame and have better organization at a fraction of the price.

    If you were just starting out what pack would you buy?

    First question would be what is your budget. Then I would want you to prioritize your expected use and find something that will work for all but what would work best for your first and 2nd priority and understand the other uses won't be as comfortable.

    This is what all brands hope for! It is the same as the blind loyalty for GM, Ford, Ram and Toyota. Mathews vs. Hoyt vs. Elite etc. It's human nature people want to justify to the world that what ever they laid their hard earned money on is the best that anyone can buy.

    1st Elk Hunt - Colorado

    My son and I did our first and only elk bowhunt so far in 2019. We had some basic goals. First to hear an elk call, 2nd to have a elk respond to my calling either by coming in or calling back, 3rd was to see an elk, 4th a shot opportunity and finally the ultimate goal to shoot one. Goal 1 was...

    Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me

    This is your quote "I fired it once this year to confirm zero. Cleaned it and put it away, then loaded two days ago." not much reading comprehension going on that could be interpreted incorrectly. So there is no need for a personal attack. As far as snapping a cap that is literally in the...

    Blackhorn 209- Do not be like me

    You say you cleaned it, put it away and then loaded it again two days ago. Did you degrease the barrel and breech plug as well as snapping a cap before reloading? If not that is likely the reason for the hang fire. You had oil in the breech.

    Please help w/ Elk boots

    I have one better. A department store on the East Coast now long gone used to have promotions selling Omaha Steaks. I was a vendor supplying fishing tackle and in the return dept I saw all of these empty boxes. They let people return the box for a full refund saying that the steak didn't taste...

    First year with a Muzzy/ 2 bucks in two days!

    I have bowhunted exclusively since 1991 killing close to 150 deer with both a compound and recurve until last week. The reason for this was in 1991 I was hunting the opener of the NJ 6 day firearm season in the Delaware Water Gap waiting on a buck to clear some Mountain Laurel to give me a shot...

    Newbie looking for best practices

    I feel like an idiot after reading this because I used a range rod and had a hammer in my truck and it never crossed my mind. [emoji2357] I also am going to get some fffg T7. You’re not the first person saying it works better than the T7 pellets and ffg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Newbie looking for best practices

    What is your process when shooting an in-line muzzleloader? I won a CVA Optima in October at a NWTF dinner. Finally was able to get it sighted in this morning. It is set up as follows: Scope Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40, Ammo Hornady XTP 240 grain .44 caliber bullet in green sabot being...
