    What will you test or tinker?

    I have two things on the agenda for this next year. The first is I want to move from a .166 arrow build to a .204. My x-impacts have been great over the past few seasons but good lord are they finicky to get them all tuned. I'm hoping a slightly larger diameter will give me a little more...

    How to price a bow?

    I'd suggest hitting up ebay and get a sampling of what other v3s with similar specs are going for. Should give you a ballpark figure to start from.

    Your 2024 Elk Hunt

    My guess is the zero point draw units will turn into one or two points and OTC units will turn into zero point units with the exception that you get locked into a cluster of units. Either that or CO adopts some sort of "general tag" that you have to draw like MT/WY for OTC and be eligible to...

    EXO K4 Thread (Officially unofficial)

    My apologies, that did not mean to come off as hate on the KUIU. Oddly enough I actually DO love my KUIU pack/bags, just not for heavy loads. I have 5200, 3200, and 1850 icon pro bags but primarily used the 3200 for elk and 1850 for whitetail before the switch to the exo (4800). As far as...

    EXO K4 Thread (Officially unofficial)

    I can't speak to the K4 but I can speak to the KUIU frame/bag setup. The KUIU frame feels great! That is until its loaded down with enough weight to warrant a pack frame. I have two issues with the KUIU frame. The first issue is the carbon frame doesn't allow any torsional freedom of movement...

    EXO K4 Thread (Officially unofficial)

    Good grief I'm going to need a trip to the support thread after this, however, what advantages does the K4 present over the K3? Am I missing out on a game changer or just some incremental improvements?

    troubleshooting after miss

    Congratulations on your first archery deer! Also RIP for your wallet you're hooked for life now :p! You are right to be concerned over not getting a pass through at 10 yards. With that shot placement (I'm assuming broadside), broadhead, and drawlength I too would have expected a full pass...

    2024 plans?!?

    For archery elk Ill be putting in points in AZ, WY, and CO this year. I could technically draw a general tag MT this year but I don't want to hunt solo in grizzly country, so I might let last year's point die. I'll most likely be hunting a new unit in CO this year (one of those zero point draw...

    SRT-Hitch Climbing and Platforms

    I just finished out my second season of primarily hitch climbing with a little bit of SRT here and there. I never used a pole so ymmv, however I will say that gravity always wins. One major difficulty I ran into with hitch climbing on the top side of a lean is that when you get close to your...

    Dog chewing targets

    Maybe he's just trying to help you justify getting all rhinehart targets by exterminating your DMs? :tearsofjoy: Do you handle these targets often and leave your scent on them? How hard have you been hunting lately? You've had him for about a year, is this the first time he's had to adjust to...

    Freak Accidents and Near Misses

    Years ago I was setting up a lifeline on an old hang on stand on a piece of private that was left behind by some out of state hunters from years prior. The tree in question was thick, limby, and covered in vines. Oddly out of character I decided to be responsible and climb said tree with a...

    Anger Issues

    This is a clear cut case of destruction of public property. Feel free to drop me a pin and I'll give him a talking to ;)

    Single bevel broadheads

    HES SAYIN TRAD LIFE IS THE BAD LIFE... HOSS! :tearsofjoy: In all seriousness though I've had razor sharp three blades kill deer in sight and not leave a drop. I've seen dull three blades leave a trail that Ray Charles could follow at a leisurely pace. Same story for two blades, single bevels...

    Expandable DIY Pack ideas

    Completely understood! I could have sworn @LeanMachine had a build thread on here somewhere with a really nice DIY frame. Here's a few features that I would probably try to build into a DIY frame pack if I was going your route: load lifters - I feel like these are a must for any frame pack...
