    Tension release for hunting Elk

    Depends on hunting style. If you have 10 seconds to get your shot off then tension is great. If not, I’d look into other options. I recently went back to command style for hunting and tension/handheld for 3d

    What distance do y’all broadhead tune

    About the farthest distance I’m willing to shoot. You just have to note that broadheads will have more friction and wants to drop faster than field point. I try to get them perfect at 50-60 vertically.

    How do you carry bow elk hunting CO? Bow Hitch worth it?

    I have a quivelizer that allows me to hang it around my neck and rest most the weight on my pack. Those marsupial hooks look nice for quick glassing tho.

    New Benchmade Meatcrafter- 4" blade

    Check out the victorinox rabbit skinnner for $25. Very similar knife with less notable steel quality. Can get through an entire elk with one and are super easy to resharpen if needed. Also easy to find cheap leather sheath on Amazon.

    Going back to the Wrist Rocket

    I shot handheld for a couple years before switching to a like mike using back tension for last few years. I now have switched back to wise-guy and shooting on command again. Hand held and back tension are great for target but there are some very real advantages to command shooting if you can...

    Replacing Mathews Strings

    The shop makes/stretches their own strings but said that they can’t do that for the saddle strings and they would have to order those from Mathews. The bow and all its components are in great shape. I just wanted to replace the stock zebra strings as I noticed them stretching and have to...

    Replacing Mathews Strings

    I went to a bow shop today to get my strings replaced on a V3x 33. The shop told me they would have to order the saddle strings from mathews and not use the custom string material. I’m not a string expert by any means, but does this sound right? Also, does it not defeat the purpose of replacing...

    Broadhead Success stories

    What arrow set-up were/are you using? I’ve had good luck with about everything as far as broadheads go. I mentioned the expandable possibly saving me in my opening post, but honestly it’s hard to say one style is better than another. The most blood I’ve ever seen on a shot was from a magnus...

    Broadhead Success stories

    We’ve all heard or experienced how an animal got away due to a broadhead failure. I’d like to hear it the other way, where a certain broadhead led to a recovery that another broadhead might have failed. I shot a whitetail way high with a two blade mech that impacted vertically and just barely...

    Grave digger Chisel Tip broadhead didn’t open

    I’m slow so help out.. when shooting a hybrid, if your concerned that a blade may have not opened, would it not be about the same situation as shooting a fixed?

    Swarovski EL - Overhyped?

    The ELs are most definitely not overhyped IMO. I would rate them as the second best pair of hunting bins you can own. They are not overall better than the NLs but do have better glare control and seem to be more rugged. I’ve owned nearly every alpha glass and the ELs are always the benchmark...
