    How much does grain weight affect trajectory

    Theoretically weight makes no difference...at identical shape and speed. So if weight added doesn't change arrow shape, velocity is your controlling factor. Since a heavier arrow changes velocity if you don't change your draw weight, that's what causes the additional drop at longer distance.

    Anybody Ditch the Bubble Level?

    UM installed with bubble-view in left eye, reticle in right. Virtually zero weight penalty and easy to ignore when appropriate, just close left eye. :-)

    Lets see your hunting/daily driver rig (Pics)

    My 2WD 2016 Expedition Limited has been a decent rig. ARB locker has transformed it into a reasonable dirt road rig. Turn off traction control; lower tire pressure to 15; press the buttons and go. I love camping in the back. Thick queen matress pad is almost as comfy as home. Everything stays...

    What do yall do for side income?

    I buy and sell domain names. Have sold several for five figures. I owned over 3000 at one time. Now down around 700. A couple I should have bought but balked would have cost me six figures, but would have sold for seven figures. Fate favors the bold, but bold often leads to broke.

    Hydration Drinks

    Salt and water in whatever form you can consume. It's all i ever need. Pills work great. Consumption before activity (preloading) is very effective, as long as you continue to hydrate during exersion.

    Photography- one photo a day

    Camping with my best bud. Friends since college in 1986. Through a lot of good and bad together, jobs, layoffs, parents passing, just a lot of life among friends. No matter how far apart we make it a point to get together periodically, and it's always like no time has passed. Now he lives less...

    Any way you all found to get the rubber taste out of water bladder

    Vinegar. But I would use a different bladder if I tasted anything. Modern materials have fixed that old problem.

    Photography- one photo a day

    This is just north of Edisto on a local sea island. Saw four in two mile daylight hike. They were very actively calling just after dark and in the morning. I love how they will answer turkey calls.

    What do you want from your woman?

    I was hospitalized for 4 days as a child and Mom gave me a stuffed lion to keep me company. Years later my dog ate the face off. My lovely wife put the pieces into a bag and kept it in a closet. Fifteen years later she secretly coordinated a repair with her, my mom, and her mom each...
