    410 grain arrow @ 176 fps or 460 grain arrow at 168 fps

    I'm considering just changing to my 55 pound bow and shooting an arrow in the ballpark of 500 grains at around 170 fps. If that don't work, I quit! Still got some time between now and the season to mess around with things.

    410 grain arrow @ 176 fps or 460 grain arrow at 168 fps

    That's awesome. Pretty similar setup to mine it sounds like. I have a heavier setup I can get a little more oomph out of, but this is the bow I like shooting.

    This is for elk and mule deer. Maybe elk, muleys, and field archery this summer.

    Which broadhead are you guys using?

    I've got about a dozen and a half Magnus Stinger 2 blades. I keep my eyes open on eBay and anytime I can find them for $30 or less with shipping I snag more. I get a hair shaving razor sharp edge on them with the KME jig.

    Hill Style/ASL Longbows Anyone?

    I just ordered a 55# Navajo Neet longbow designed by Earl Hoyt Jr. from rmsgear. So far I have only played with recurves but my favorite recurve is a Ben Pearson Bushmaster with a 66 inch amo length, a dished grip and only mildly reflexed limbs, so it is somewhat similar to a longbow. I can't...

    I’m not looking for honey holes but…

    The Antimony Merc in Utah. It's right on the north end of the Mt. Dutton unit in the little town of Antimony if you ever find yourself hunting elk or antelope on Mt. Dutton. Get yourself a Merc Burger and make sure you have some wipes in your pack for the aftermath.

    Draw shoulder coming along as I rotate.

    Hey guys, I'm trying to learn the KSL or NTS style of shooting and I'm having issues with my bow shoulder coming along for the ride when I rotate my core and then I never achieve good alignment. Has anybody else struggled with this? Does anybody have any remedies or fixes for this? Much obliged...

    Is traditional archery hunting unethical?

    I don't think there's unethical weapons, just unethical hunters.

    Is the future of hunting all doom and gloom?

    I wish I could ship a couple million Californian refugees turned Utahns to these people that don't feel like the human population is it of control!

    2023 preparations

    Out of other bows I have at around the same poundage it would be, but the Martin Hunter is cut past center which makes a difference. I would have to go to .600 spine to shoot a similar arrow in my 45# ben pearson bushmaster.

    Is the future of hunting all doom and gloom?

    I can't help but feel like it is. If you're an eastern hunter many of your potential hunting grounds are bought up and leased out to the biggest bidder. Out west, tag demand is outpacing supply rapidly. Our most common big game animal in the west (the mule deer) is just kinda barely hanging on...

    Disregard politics or people what’s the worst state to live in?

    I think for most people when you look at it from all angles, the grass doesn't really get greener on the other.side. I'm getting fed up with what Utah is turning into, but when I think about everything that makes a place a great place to live I can't get motivated to go anywhere else. If you got...
