    Recurve better for shoulder injury?

    I've injured my right shoulder (right handed) and not sure I'll be able to shoot my compound bow any longer. I'm old (73) and have been shooting about 64 lbs but over the last few years it's been painful. Like a dummy I figured I could power through it and just get stronger but it got worse...

    ATF redefining firearm dealer

    If this has already been posted I didn't see it. The ATF is proposing to change the definition of a firearms dealer. This will essentially prevent anyone from selling face to face (according to GOA). The gun grabbers have organized and have flooded the comments with an overwhelming percentage...

    ubco electric bike-anyone used one for hunting?

    A buddy of mine got one just for riding around but it looks like it would work great for elk hunting. I have a small motorcycle that works well but the electric bike with two wheel drive seems like it would get anywhere the cycle would and it's lighter and probably carries more load. Just...

    limb delam question

    My Mathews No Cam made a weird noise while drawing the other day. Found a sliver delaminated from one of the upper limbsnear the anchor end. Never dry fired, no external damage. I put these limbs on last year, went up from the 60lb to 70 (70 28). I think they were new but not sure, both the...

    Hunting guide???

    A friend of mine told me today that his son applied for a hunting guide position in MT, and got the job. Pretty decent base monthly salary and room and board, plus tips. I don't know where or which outfitter. The kid (20-30?) has never set foot in the state of MT before. And.... he's never...

    Road kill bonanza!

    My son called earlier today and said he'd just got done breaking down a roadkill cow moose in SE MT. He was on the way to work and saw what he thought was a dead elk along the road so he turned around and checked it out. It was fairly cold out and it looked like it was fresh, smelled fresh...

    Hold at full draw

    How long can you hold at full draw before you start shaking enough that you can't make an accurate shot? Only about 45 seconds for me to make a good shot to 40 yards. That's not long enough IMO for elk hunting so I'm working on strength to increase it. What do you consider the minimum time...

    "Interesting" near encounter with griz

    My sons and I were hunting in serious griz country (MT) and had an interesting experience. Younger son and I hiked in the 5 miles or so to a camp they had set up before I got there. Did some hunting/scouting along the way, heard a few bugles but they were far off and we wanted to get to camp...

    Sight extended or retracted?

    I have a Spott Hogg Hogg It (5 pin) sight and I'm confused about how to set it. I have it extended about half the way now and at full draw my peep allows me to see a little bit around the outside diameter of the sight. If I extend it out further the circle around the sight gets a little...

    60 or 70# limbs?

    I have a No Cam HTR, 60# limbs maxed out at 60-62#. I'd like to try and increase draw weight to gain speed but I'm 69 and don't know if, or how much, I'll be able to comfortably shoot. I've got the 70# limbs for it. Any disadvantage to putting the 70# on and then decide I will still shoot at...

    Hunting with glasses?

    So I had good long run without glasses, almost 69 years, but now my right eye (dominant) has gotten fuzzy at distance. Never had to use glasses hunting and I'm not sure how that's going to go (archery). What's the general consensus about wearing glasses while bow hunting elk? Mesh face cover...
