    30-30 ammo for coyote?

    Are you wanting to save the pelts? If not I’ve had quite good luck with some 160 leveroution for both deer and coyotes. Coyotes typically don’t take another step.

    Attrition rate of newby traditional archers

    I'm one who dabbles in both. I shoot the recurve for 3D and almost exclusively year-round. I still pick up a compound during the season when I am unable to practice due to law school. One of these years when I am able to practice throughout the season, I may go full time trad, as that's where my...

    What Spine? (Bareshaft Pics Inside)

    If you want to shoot a 34" shaft, try pushing your center shot out to where the right side of the point/insert is on the left side of the string and see what happens there. Otherwise, start trimming 1/4" at a time. You may also put some electrical tape on the back of the arrow and see if that...

    What Spine? (Bareshaft Pics Inside)

    What does your center shot look like? Is the arrow straight down the riser with the string or the point slightly left? That is where my best results usually come from.

    Feather damage with elevated rest

    Heavier never hurt nobody when shooting trad gear, you may barely notice a difference in cast with 50 grains. I wouldn’t worry about adding weight, especially to the front of the arrow. Tuning with a recurve might be more important than it is with a compound, being it has less energy! Sent...

    Feather damage with elevated rest

    Although feathers do wear, and it looks somewhat normal wear wise, those black marks on your arrow and wear on your rest are signs that you need a weaker arrow to bend around the riser. You can get a weaker arrow by a longer arrow, or by adding point weight. I would play with point weight, as...

    Feather damage with elevated rest

    Maybe add some point weight, but there’s not much use trying to tune until you can group well (say averaging a large grapefruit at 20) tell us your setup and we can get you close (maybe). Also, you can take slomo from behind with your phone and get things somewhat dialed that way Sent from my...

    Feather damage with elevated rest

    Hows your tune? Typically, feather wear is from an improper tune (Ususally stiff) however, I have had bows that have that same problem and can't get rid of it. I could always be a result of the downward pressure from the fixed crawl. If you got a decent bareshaft, you might try raising your...

    Never used designatd turkey choke, as I hunt with a full rem choke for turkeys. But i have shot a few pigs with a full choke and 00 buck. One was on the run at about 40 yards, it is very effective.

    QAD Exodus broadheads- good, bad, ugly?

    I shot a Mature KS WT with them last November. 18yd, slightly quartered shot out of a treestand, pass thru. There were a few specs of blood at impact but that was is it. No other blood on the ground except where he fell, which was about 40 yards away so it was no biggie. the exit was thru the...
