    Question on judo points (small game)

    We have had good success with just drilling a hole through a field point and gluing a piece of finishing nail in. Poor mans Judo.

    In defense of my flipper flappers

    This is what I have done so far with good results. I was not necessarily wanting to increase arrow weight but, I just had a really low F.O.C with stock arrow parts because of my set up, and was getting a lot of tail wag when the arrow would make contact. So far the results have been good. The...

    Who Did Not Snort the Fairy Dust? And Why?

    I concede 6 inches is definitely touchy, and I should have said that more accurately. I have never had just 6 inches of penetration, as I do run a heavier set-up, but I do not think if I did, the results would not be very different. And while obviously I have no proof that the blade flexes...

    Who Did Not Snort the Fairy Dust? And Why?

    I like a big cheap 3 blade. the cheap ones seem to have flimsy blades but I theorize that it actually helps them flex around bone, as long as the blades flex but don't break. I may not always get complete passthroughs, but if I get three blades 6 inches into a deer, the result is generally the...

    Which is more rewarding?

    I tend to agree with keeping separate seasons and even adding a trad only season. Not so much from a competitive aspect, but from a cultural aspect. I grew up shooting traditional Muzzleloaders, and there was quite the culture around them when that was all that was allowed during Muzzleloader...

    Field dressing/processing kit recommendation

    I field dress with about anything, but I process with a dexter ussel boning and skinning set I’ve built up and really like them. Relatively cheap and easy to sharpen.

    Climbing utility poles

    I second this. I work in a utility company, and it is amazing how many malfunctioned pieces of equipment can be on a pole and leaking voltage to ground (assuming everything is grounded properly, or that the ground wire is still intact), and how often this goes undetected. It is also amazing how...

    Half Ashby

    I looked and thought this was a really good post. I like seeing different views/experiments on things from people that have been doing things for a long time.

    Half Ashby

    No more along the lines have you incorporated parts of what he suggested such as building a heavier arrow than you already have, or changing broad head styles,etc, but not fully incorporated every aspect of what the suggestions are. I could have phrased that better.

    Half Ashby

    New to this site and saddle hunting, but decent experience in general hunting. I was wondering if anyone has taken the heavy arrow/high foc seriously but not the extreme that the Ashby reports suggest, or if anyone sees light in finding a balance between light vs heavy. I am a tinkerer and...

    2020 Broadhead choice?

    "One more question to ask yourself, if you was given a choice, with no other options, would you rather be hit with a feather going 100mph, or a bowling ball traveling 30 mph." I think a more mathematical comparison would be getting hit with a 12 lb bowling ball going 30 mph vs getting hit...

    New Saddlehunter! I have a question about my Hawk Helium sticks.

    New user here, but I just got the short Hawk Heliums and one of mine slipped really badly as some others have commented. Upon closer inspection I found out that one of the buckles had something binding it inside that was keeping it from closing fully. It appeared closed but I could physically...
