    Is spine comparable across brands?

    I thought for sure this would have been asked but I'm not finding any results here or on Google... I guess I might not be wording what I'm trying to ask correctly. If I'm using 400 spined carbon arrows from brand A and I want to try out some new carbon arrows from brand B, can I order a pack...

    Is my nocking point too high?

    I paper tuned my bow for the first time today. I was good on tail left/right... the only issue was tail low. I raised my tie-on nocking points a little bit at a time until I was getting a single hole in the paper. So I go back inside and put my bow square on to see what my new nocking point...

    What Sitka insulation piece isn't too tight to access wrist watch?

    I recently got the Sitka Kelvin Lite Hoody (KLH) with the intention of using it as an insulation layer. It's being layered over the Core Lightweight Crew and Heavyweight Hoody when those two layers are not warm enough. Problem is, the KLH's wrist/forearms are so tight I can't slide the cuffs up...

    Do you wear underwear underneath of a legging baselayer?

    This might sound like a silly question but I've always wondered... if it's cold out and you're wearing a "pant baselayer" like FirstLite Fuse, Sitka Heavyweight Bottoms, Kuiu zip off leggings, or normal ol' long underwear... do you also wear "normal" underwear under that? Or does the pant...

    Confused man looking for a pack to haul Millennium M50 tree stand, 3 sticks, and gear for the day

    I typically hunt via ladder stand on private, hence my confusion. I'm looking for a pack to haul my Millennium M50 tree stand, 3 sticks, as well as my gear for the day deep into the wonders of public land. I don't need the ability pack out meat but it would be neat as it's something I'm...

    Properly Increasing Draw Weight on Recurve

    Backstory: I am an adult onset hunter who has been hunting whitetail with crossbow and rifle for a few years now. I've always had an interest in archery and finally took the leap. Storytime. Knowing that the minimum recommended draw weight to hunt whitetail is 40#, when I got my recurve bow...

    Kuiu - gotta vent

    Got the Base Camp Hooded Sweater and the logo is peeling off after 3 months of casual use, and two washings. This is not a hunting garment, it's daily wear. You wear it out and about, in public, so if the giant KUIU logo is peeling off your front-left chest it looks pretty sh*tty. That's what...

    Had a negligent discharge tonight. Learn from me.

    First and foremost I am safe, just a little shaken up still (this happened 4 hours ago). I have a slight headache and my right ear rings once and a while and feels pretty "off". After an evening hunt I got back to the truck just after last light and began to pack up. It was pitch black so I...

    If you could only go with one clothing brand and money wasn't a factor, which would it be?

    I thought this would be a fun experiment. I understand that this isn't really a fair comparison because everyone has different hunting styles, climates, terrain, needs, and preferences... and each of the main clothing brands also have their own unique features and uses (E.g., an elk hunter in...

    I received a SinoArt recurve for Christmas - questions and ramblings

    I received my first bow for Christmas, a SinoArt 58" Recurve with 30lb and 45lb limbs. I have always had an interest in archery - not only as a "backyard hobby" but also for hunting. I am a rifle/crossbow hunter and avid outdoorsman so I understand that there are various tiers of quality with...

    Kryptek Vellus vs Njord

    I read a few reviews, and of course the descriptions on Kryptek's website, but I can't really figure out the difference between the Vellus and Njord. Does anyone know from experience? Other than the Vellus being waterproof and having a hood, both are supposed to be warm down to single digits...

    A limb on my crossbow cracked... now I want a compound bow

    This morning while in the stand I noticed one of the limbs on my Bear Archery Karnage Apocalypse crossbow was cracked. Since there is no way to de-cock it other than shooting, I immediately, and nervously, fired the bolt. I sadly climbed down and went home. I contacted Bear about it and will see...

    These 2020 deer are patronizing me

    Outing 1: Private Land (Location A) I was sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree in a known hot spot. A decent buck slowly walked broadside across my entire shooting area, left to right. He paused several times. But he was at 65 yards and my bow is only sighted to 50 yards. Outing 2...

    When you have to shoot (a rifle) at an animal that is further than your zero, what method do you use to compensate for the shot?

    Let's say your rifle is zerod at 200 yards. You range an elk at 328 yards. What process are you using to compensate for that shot? I know of a few ways. Not sure what is best practice, correct, wrong, etc... Hunter safety doesn't cover this type of stuff and I have no mentor. What I did last...

    Whitetails are drainage creatures. So what's a drainage?

    I was reading this article about scouting/hunting deer in forest environments and would like clarification on what drainages are. Here's the context/quote from the article: I'm inclined to think a drainage is an area where water drains, which would mean cuts or ravines I guess? Or in laymans...
