    Micklagards response: I’m good with that.

    Any wool pant recommendations?

    Update on my Micklagards: I wore them to work in for 2 days and the cargo pocket came undone from carrying a pair of pliers in it. Never snagged the pocket or pliers on anything that I recall. I’ll let you know how they handle it.

    Wool socks

    I like Farm to Feet better than Darn Tough. Each style seems to have different merino %, and there’s a lot of different styles. They’re all I’ve worn for the last 5yrs or so.

    Arrow penetration

    No sweat, a lot gets lost or misunderstood in text. In all honesty, I’m waiting for that deer to keep coming. I like em at 12yds. I’ve killed 2 of my better bucks at that angle. One was this year at about 18yds if I remember right. The shot looked slightly more forward than I wanted so I was...

    26b caribou

    I went with them a couple years ago. I don’t have anything bad to say about North Star, they seemed like good folks and easy to work with. But that river had about 4 other airboat transporters running just as many hunters up and down that river. I don’t think we ever went much more than a mile...

    Arrow penetration

    Second off- Quit it, I was mocking the Ashby chart you pointed out that used those terms saying your weight was unethical, acceptable, etc. and applying it to your chart that you used as an example for me to keep my shots at 20yds and under because I’m too slow. All these high weights (650gr+)...

    Arrow penetration

    If my math is right your 435gr arrow at 53# is 8.2gr per pound My 665gr arrow at 82# is 8.1gr per pound. What’s the problem here? Billygoat, can you make a meme with two guys arguing that both have KoolAid stains on their lips??

    Arrow penetration

    Ok, I’m with you now. No, I know you don’t NEED a heavy arrow to kill things. I think it’s pretty hard NOT to kill something when you hit it in the vitals with nothing hard in the way. But I do think (and it seems like we agree) that a heavier arrow increases your lethality when you do have...

    Arrow penetration

    All of this- You’re blowing through all your animals, but saying bad trajectory is an issue. Why aren’t you shooting a much lighter arrow to improve that trajectory? Your arrow barely slowed down going through a 800# moose. Or hell, use all that extra horse power to use a head with a wider cut...

    Arrow penetration

    “I have shot a compound 1/2 dozen times in 10 years- so right now I wouldn’t shoot over 25 with that compound.” He also said that. And he’s definitely not a heavy arrow compound guy. So it’s still the Indian. Have we narrowed this down to a sound, distance, reaction time debate? If so I think...

    Arrow penetration

    “Personally, My ability as a shooter restricts my shot distance….not my equipment. Same with compound or recurve.” Thats more so the point I’m trying to make. It’s the Indian, not the heavy arrow that is the restriction.

    Arrow penetration

    I think you may have misinterpreted what I was saying/asking. I was disagreeing with Bumps comment that most trad guys are limiting themselves to 15-20yds because of the poor trajectory of their heavy arrows. So I was asking if you limited yourself to 20yds, assuming you likely don’t. And I have...

    Arrow penetration

    Your charts make for interesting food for thought. And I’ve been flirting with the idea of dropping from 665 to 600gr to see how that does. I’m curious, if me shooting 30yds with my setup is too risky, what does the computer say about the trad guy shooting 500gr with 45# at 20yds?

    Arrow penetration

    Beendare, are you only shooting 20yds and in? Trajectory is part of it, aiming method, holding weight and release method greatly are bigger factors that limit range more than trajectory. If it was trajectory only I think they’d be shooting lighter arrows, no? I’m not arguing about the trade...

    Arrow penetration

    So if you recurve/longbow guys are shooting 10-11gpi per pound of draw weight and blowing through animals effortlessly and have no issue with trajectory, why are you having such a fit about a compound guy’s trajectory shooting a similar gpi per pound of draw weight? Or why aren’t you compound...
