    What is your go to elk arrow setup?

    Hoping to make an elk hunt next year. Plan to use regular heavy arrow set-up that I use all the time: 69-lb recurve, shooting 680-grain Warrior with 300-grain single bevel Tuffhead broadhead and 100-grain brass insert (for about 28% FOC. Worked fine to kill a 238-lb boar here in Texas...

    Which arrow would you choose?

    This is indeed "why." ^^^^^

    Bow Strong

    Haven't actually chrono'ed it, but I believe it's in the 190s. (Basing this off what the original owner said to expect. Memory could be faulty.) Edit: contacted orginal bow owner, and he advised that speed at my 27" drawlength is probably in the 180s, although, he pointed out that the arrow...

    Bow Strong

    I wouldn't want to tell someone else that they need to shoot a heavier bow than they feel comfortable with. And I agree that form can be more easily developed with lighter weight equipment -- in fact, it actually takes a smoother release to achieve good arrow flight with a light bow. I just...

    Bowhunting shots and string jumping

    Here's a link to the Tim Wells video. Gets ready to take the shot about 5:30 in. Notice that Mulie doesn't budge until arrow is almost there. Pretty sure it didn't hear the release from over 100 yards away. It hears the arrow...

    Bowhunting shots and string jumping

    Certainly, get the bow as quiet as possible. However, there is another factor often forgotten: noise of the approaching arrow. Couple the recognition of a deer hearing the arrow nearby with it's lightning-fast reflexes, and it can move out of the way of an arrow. There is a video of Tim...

    How's your paper-plate consistency?

    Okay, boys and girls. You have til tomorrow night (2/16) to shoot and post you shots on the Valentine Challenge on Rick's forum. You are probably aware that Rick Barbee is a guy that can hit a swinging aspirin tablet from 15 yards. :) Anyway, I posted a Fun Round of 85 today, but many of...

    Naturally Good Shooters

    Fun thread. Not surprising at all to hear of someone seemingly naturally gifted at archery. Plenty of natural athletes that just never get around to archery. Howard Hill, for instance, probably would have been a professional golfer if he could putt. Already was a multi-sport athlete at...

    Let's see some traditional harvests!

    New here. This is a 238-lb boar I killed in central Texas with my 73#@28 Weathers recurve, shooting 680-grain carbon with a Tuffhead single-blade broadhead. Quartering-away shot from 15 yards; boar went 100 yards, trailing heavy blood with quick recovery. Sent from my SM-J327V using Tapatalk

    Best glove for hunting

    I also like the Duraglove, and wear it by itself -- not that cold in central Texas. Most hunting is still, so will keep string hand in pocket for the most part if it is chilly.

    How's your paper-plate consistency?

    Most traditional shooters would like to hit at least an area the size of nine-inch paper plate from 20 yards consistently. Some say this is too big to be reliable for hunting deer-size game, much less smaller game, like hogs. But, a paper plate is still a common and easily available target to...
