    Kuhl Wyldefire?

    Thanks, that's helpful. I'm 5'10" 185, depending on the holiday. Sitka L is great for me, Kuiu L is ok, starting to get a little snug in the shoulders, depending on the garment. The Wyldefire may be dead on for me. Edited: I see on the Kuhl website that an XL is for chest size 44-46, that may...

    Kuhl Wyldefire?

    Hi Folks! Does anyone have experience with the Kuhl Wyldefire jacket? I have several camo items from Sitka and Kuiu, but nothing from Kuhl. I'm looking for a solid color winter jacket I can wear around town without layering (into the 20s F). I love my Sitka Jetstream, but want something a...

    New Kryptek, Wierd Smell?

    Hello Everyone, I just received a new Kryptek Cronos 1/2 zip T. Looks well-made and fits nice. Hopefully will serve me well for years. But it has this weird chemical smell that's kinda strong. Is this normal? Before I remove the tags, will the smell wash out in the laundry? Thanks in...

    Sold Sitka Stormfront Jacket XL Open Country

    Does "bombproof" mean it'll handle thorns? We're frequently brush bustin' through multi flora rose.

    Recommend Me a Used Bow

    Keep an eye on the classifieds in the Archertalk forum. I've bought several bows through there for quite cheap. As far as which bow, that's a pretty subjective answer. I've shot a TON of bows over the years and came to a single conclusion: they're all really good, it's just a matter of which...

    Weed eater string to increase arrow weight

    Yep, I was around when carbons 1st came out, they were geared more for comp shooters than hunters because they were so light. I still used aluminum for a a while because I couldn't afford to run 2 different setups for comp and hunting. Carbons weren't quite as durable then as they are now...

    Weed eater string to increase arrow weight

    Ok, smart-asses I can deal with. Especially ones that try back yard hacks to get arrow weight up instead of choosing the right shaft to begin with. Anything added to the arrow, regardless of location, will change the arrow dynamics. Trimmer line, by the way, will work as a tiny shock absorber...

    Weed eater string to increase arrow weight

    Well, that's just rude. Yes, I hit 10 posts. Yes, I'm new to this forum. I've also been shooting in competition archery for over 30 years. Anything else you'd like to assume or is everyone in this forum rude to new folks?

    Weed eater string to increase arrow weight

    Correct, but you just use an even heavier point, then grind it down. For comp, I weighed every point, insert, nock & fetched shaft so my weights didn't vary more than a half grain total. Took about an extra hour or so in arrow building, but was worth it.

    Weed eater string to increase arrow weight

    When I was in competition, I would use my arrow scale to weigh every arrow and dremel to grind a bit off the back of each point to get them all within what I wanted. It was very anal but still seems a lot easier than messing with trimmer string.

    Release Maintenance

    Unless I got caught in a downpour, I didn't even lube my releases. Never had an issue. Wonder what happened here.

    D-Loop Knot Orientation

    Have the top knot on the same side of the string that you're on. Bottom knot on the other side. The reason is that when you draw and anchor, your hand naturally sits at a slight angle (maybe a hard angle if using a thumb release or hinge). If you angle your loop the same direction as your...

    Thumb Release Help

    I've shot a ton of releases. Just about all of them are built really well, you just need to find what works best for you. Buy them used and just sell what you don't like.
