    What Archery-Related Rabbit Hole Are You Into This Offseason?

    Hey @roosiebull, I noticed you dropped the quivalizer this year too. Are you using any stabilizer on your lift, or are you gonna see if you can get away with no stabilizers? I felt like the quivalizer worked well for what it is and my bow aimed nice, but after removing it and using a light 2...

    What Archery-Related Rabbit Hole Are You Into This Offseason?

    @Solowhunter, I’m over 4mm shafts. I f’in despise half outs and I don’t feel like investing into glue in broadheads to bypass them when I have a decent stock of 5mm arrows and normal broadheads. I also feel like the nocks are weaker and most importantly, I’m not good enough to realize any...

    What Archery-Related Rabbit Hole Are You Into This Offseason?

    I dropped my draw length this year and so to compensate and make myself feel better I got a new bow that’s faster haha. Been happy so far with the change. Also trying to get away without stabilizers/quivalizer. I liked shooting with the quivalizer but not the bulk and I just don’t like...

    Elk hunting in Altra boots (zero drop / lightweight)?

    I used altars in the past and loved them-got the vivo trackers a year ago and haven’t considered anything else since. Check out the thread on them/formidilous’s gear thread. I live in central Oregon and use them for everything (except muddy chores on the farm). Add some waterproofing if the...

    Kifaru Minikeg vs Stone Glacier Kiowa 3200?

    I got a Minikeg for day hunts/shorter overnight trips. I’m short af (5’6”) so I still get some decent lift out of it. I’ve been doing some shorter training hikes and it still feels good with 50-60 lbs. 20-30 pounds feels like nothing. I had a SG x curve, and seriously debated getting a solo...

    Trick Pin & Welcome Darin Cooper - Check out his best archery tech article!

    I tried the trick pin (using a 2 pin spot Hogg fe) a bit this fall/winter, just practicing in the backyard. I like the concept and I applaud Mr. Cooper for sharing it with us, but I just couldn’t get used to holding low like that. It worked ok on my backyard targets, but when I tried to use...

    Hyot RX8, RX8 Ultra, or Alpha AX-2 32

    I’d suggest the 2025 bows (ax-2, rx9 of your budget allows). At your draw length the 8 ultra is a dog, and I personally don’t think the newer models are “hard” to pull or less forgiving. I went from a vtm 34 to ax2 29 (shortest bow I’ve had in a while) and I just don’t feel like I’ve lost...

    Stabilizer Tests

    I haven’t tested a bunch, but the axcel antler ridge is *probably the best for reducing vibration/noise. Specifically their kryptos arc dampener works really well, and you can get that by itself if you wanna save some $$$. If you can sift through the bullsh*t and stupidity, you can find some...

    Little Tweaks That Led to Big Gains

    Lots of good advice already, here’s a couple cheap things you can play with that I’ve found helpful: Try different nocks (obviously fit is hugely important) Tie soft nock sets if you aren’t already using those Different d loop material (I like bcy 23). Play with d loop length while you’re at...

    My experience building arrow/broadhead combinations for hunting (Elk, Deer and Antelope)

    How do you test for/determine acceptable durability? Or in other words, is there some test medium you shoot at to decide if arrows pass the durability test?

    My experience building arrow/broadhead combinations for hunting (Elk, Deer and Antelope)

    Man, thank you for taking the time and effort to write this up! I’ve found your other arrow posts to be extremely helpful and well explained, and since I have a similar dw/dl it’s nice to see some info that isn’t based on a 30”+ draw length. Also in the process of building arrows so this is...

    Striver gear harness.

    It looks like a nice bino harness, but I just don’t see the benefit personally. If the entire thing had some new quick detach system to make layering less of a pain in the ass I’d be ordering one today. As it is, I just don’t know when I’d ever want or need to separate the pack from the...

    Bino Harness Essentials/Emergency Kit

    FWIW, I was/am in the same boat. I ended up getting a smaller pack for day stuff (95% of the time I’ll be day hunting and the big boy packs get annoying in the trees). Now having said that, the good idea fairy has been hovering around my mind, and my thought process was to have the emergency...

    Bino Harness Essentials/Emergency Kit

    I’ve had the same thought, and have been playing around in the off season to add some “oh sh*t” stuff to my harness. I’ve got a lighter, super glue (instead of gauze, bandages) and some silver nitrate to for minor cuts, a few allergy and anti heartburn meds, tp, scalpel blade, couple water...

    Vertical 3 Pin Options?

    Hey op, just something else to consider (that may not have been mentioned in this thread), but do you want/need individually adjustable pins? I don’t think dark owl or dialed lets you move the pins just from looking at them. The spot Hogg tripple and cbe trek pro (can use a pic mount, but it...

    Vertical 3 Pin Options?

    What bow are you getting? You may have already considered this, but I would think the weight savings/optimization from the pic sight really shows up if you also keep your quiver on and can move it in closer without the sight interfering. I had a Hoyt 2 piece quiver-that thing could get crazy...

    Vertical 3 Pin Options?

    Ultraview has a vertical 3 pin sight as well. I have 0 experience with it, but another option for you to look at. I’d be curious what you think of the pic mount if you go that route. Just last week I ended up extending my dovetail and it improved my sight picture significantly-the pic...
