    PNW blacktail?

    So if I don't kill a deer during early archery, can I no longer buy a tag for later seasons?

    PNW blacktail?

    So does a blacktail tag bought for archery only cover archery season and not extend to MR?

    PNW blacktail?

    I'm planning on moving to Seattle for work near the end of the year, there are some national forests like the Olympic forest within a few hours drive that hold blacktail. Anyone have success saddle hunting blacktail, or is it always more of a ground game?

    New to traditional archery

    Yeah, 35 pounds is a good place to start. Limbs for the black hunter are pretty cheap, so you can go up in 5 pound increments and be hunting at 40-45 lbs pretty soon.

    New to traditional archery

    Little heavy for the average guy to learn good form on imo, but it's not like it's way too much weight. If it's under $75, I would consider it, but since it's not even a TD I would probably look elsewhere for a black hunter.

    How and why did you choose Traditional Archery?

    Hm. I can't really answer that. A recurve always just felt right in my hands. Not from a hunting or an archery family, but I grew up making bows, so I blame my Korean heritage.

    Point on troubleshooting

    Well, there is the option of putting on a sight, but most people seem to be averse to that for some reason. Personally, I feel like if you're going that far to chase a setup that makes it so you basically are aiming at the same spot from 5 to 20 yards, you might as well put on a sight and save...

    Point on troubleshooting

    But yeah, either way, I think OP should stop worrying about it and just shoot more. Form trumps all.

    Point on troubleshooting

    Not as much as you'd think. Bows aren't as sensitive as many think they are, especially on the vertical plane. You can get really good broadhead flight from a variety of nock points.

    Point on troubleshooting

    Raising nocking point actually makes a pretty significant difference in your point on distances. Dewayne Martin has videos showing how much he can change arrow impact on YouTube under vabowdog. He does it with broadhead arrows, too. Aside from that, I think you're too focused on trying to have...

    Point on troubleshooting

    Playing with point weight to get a point on means you are untuning your setup, if it's tuned. You can get away with a pretty high nock point, but make sure to broadhead test for good flight. I also have a hard time understanding why you don't just put a 20 yard crawl on your string. If you're...
