    Archery Hunting CO high country for mulies. Do I HAVE to glass?

    I'm going to go against the grain here a bit... if you are hunting an area that you already know mule deer frequent and have had lots of still hunting encounters, you will most likely be hunting a different group of bucks than anyone else. They probably aren't getting as much human pressure. And...

    Can't Reach Out For Help From Guys Who Have Been There????

    The issue isn't about PM's. It's about the all powerful world wide web, and the staggering amount of info that gets shared by guys in public every time a unit gets mentioned. Guys don't understand how findable a post is for someone who knows how to use a search engine. Heaven help us now that AI...

    Ditching a chassis

    I have not seen any need for a chassis. Maybe I'm turning into an old grump, but the inner bow hunter in me likes getting close, and I have made plenty of shots at 300-400 yards with my old walnut stocked 06.

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    Yep. Target panic is no fun. Many say it doesn't affect them. There are some that it truly doesn't affect. I get it BAD with my trad bow. Joel Turner has the only answer I've found to work for longer than a few weeks. As a matter of fact, his dope has always been the way I get back out of that...

    Draw Length Opinions Please

    I'm not an expert on judging draw length based off form for compounds, but here's a couple things I see right away. 1st, if you rotate your bowhand 45 degrees like you're making a stop sign with your hand it may help your bow side shoulder. That should help you get your bow side scapula down...

    2024 Technique Improvement Thread

    Trad bow is where I put my main efforts but it all carries over directly when it's time to shoot my compound. Lately I've been working on really getting my bow arm and shoulders driving in a line to the target, with a strong finish position after the shot. Trad specific, but I've also been...

    Cold Bow 2024.... QnA Thread

    Shooting some no name three blade that a buddy gave me for free. I don't think it's going hunting with me, cause this is the second time I've shot it and the blades started rattling. Back to the drawing board there... On to the shot though! Hoping to draw a mule deer tag this season, so I shot...

    In the spirit of shooting with a little pressure, I'm going to post my cold shot with a broadhead at 20 today (longbow edition). Stay tuned!

    Cold Bow 2024.... QnA Thread

    Well, hot damn. Guess I need to confirm my new trad bow tune is as good as the paper says! Need to find somewhere to shoot a little further as well.

    Tiny snares along all the baseboards? Screw bait at this point.

    Draw shoulder coming along as I rotate.

    Try activating your lats (Just keep them lightly tensioned, it's not a full blown lat pulldown) before you complete the draw to anchor.

    Is the Expen$$$ive Turkey ammo worth it?

    How do you intend to pattern those loads?!?! It's a giant waddling buzzard with a cool beard. I have never intentionally tried to hunt a turkey, but if I did, the appeal would be calling it into my lap, not smoking it at 80 yards.

    …

    I was a huge fan of Patrick Smith... I can't pretend Aaron Snyder's public personality makes me want to buy one of their packs these days. But that doesn't matter, I already own a Reckoning on a duplex frame, and that pack has been excellent for the last 8-9 years. And I'm not going to write him...

    Why would you pay money to go have someone tell you how to hunt bears when you already live in bear country? Go hunt bears with that gas money!

    My mountain rifle is getting walnut…

    There are some good on the wood finishes out there, with the obvious upside of more waterproofing... Murdoch's Uralkyd 500 floor finish by Sutherland Welles over a couple base layers of their hard sealer is my go to. I've used it to for high traffic tables, and to refinish bow handles. Might be...
