    Lesson learned, pointers gladly accepted....

    My second year of OTC Archery hunting in CO at 10K' found me hearing a few bulls bugling in the area, or maybe not. After a day of hearing bugles, sending my own and getting a mixed bag of returns, I was pretty sure I was talking with other hunters. I knew there were a couple folks about 1/2...

    Yet another tuning question....

    So, after at least 25 hours of tuning, changing arrows, shooting, losing my mind....I finally found the problem. I decided to upgrade my release when I first started getting ready for the season and went with the UV Button. After changing everything on my bow and arrow setup I finally decided to...

    Yet another tuning question....

    I wish I had. I didn't know any better at the time. I have lost 2fps in the past 200 shots, so there's that. I find that baffling considering that last year I pulled my Z7 out with the still factory strings and it hadn't lost a beat since 2011. I've been shooting both the 29 and 33 all day and...

    Yet another tuning question....

    All great information and suggestions. I never knew how complicated bows could be. I've got 25 years of competition shooting from USPSA/IPSC & 3-Gun to the more technical PRS so I know how to go down a rabbit hole, both bad and good! I changed the top hats to push the cams all the way to the...

    Yet another tuning question....

    I'm running TAC Driver 2.75" vanes. I have a Phase 4 33 at 60lbs that group these same arrows/broadheads like a field point. I was really surprised that it would shoot such a stiff spine at that weight. Of note, I put ABB strings on the 33 at the same time that I put those 60X on the 29. I was...

    Yet another tuning question....

    I have a Phase 4 29 that I had setup by a shop last year with GAS Ghost strings and it shot broadheads very well. I did a 4 mile movement during elk season and wore a thin spot on the string so I put on some 60X strings I had purchased prior to the GAS strings last year. I spent a ton of time...

    Iron will chipping

    One other thing that occurred to me.....could you have received fake Ironwill broadheads? They are selling them on ebay and other sites like that. Just a thought.

    Iron will chipping

    You can send that back to Ironwill since they have a lifetime warranty. There's no way foam did that. You either hit something hard or found a completely one-off broadhead that had a weak spot. I have one Ironwill that I've shot into foam at least 50 times and can still slice paper with it.

    Thumb Release?

    What is the actual mechanism that makes that release well, release? I looked into them a little but couldn't quite figure it out. I come from a competition shooting background with pistols and rifles so the transition to precision with a bow has been difficult. Looking at ways to improve.

    Thumb Release?

    Just have a good way to keep up with it. When I first changed over to a non-strapped release I lost it in the woods. Because I'm dumb I now carry a backup that I know how to shoot with. It's probably overkill but I hate to be without.

    First Time Elk Hunters

    Headed out for my 2nd archery hunt in a couple weeks. Did 2 rifle hunts prior to that. By the time I finally bag one the meat will have cost me about $40lb ;) but, that's not why I go!

    Where is Elk Nut?

    I've been in a lot of hobbies and someone with his expertise, that's he willing to share, is a rare find. I love his content.
