    cva muzzleloader advice please

    I would love to convert and shoot smokeless as I already reload. Only problem is that smokeless powder guns do not qualify for use during FL primitive weapon season.

    cva muzzleloader advice please

    I need some advice. I am looking to purchase a new muzzleloader this year to replace my TC omega. I have decided on either the CVA optima V2/V2 LR or the CVA Accura MRX in 50 cal. I know I like this action as I have a Scout in 44 mag and I love the way it operates. If anyone has hands on...

    Favorite Field Point

    Ethics archery makes some of the best that I have found. Weight is constant and the arrow will probably break before the point flattens or bends.

    Wood hunting saddles

    I’m looking at ordering one of one of wood huntings saddles but I am unsure as to what size to order as they say on their site to go by your pant size. The issue I have is that I fall on the border of the medium/large depending on the brand of pants. Is there anywhere to go to try these saddles...

    LWCG double step recommendation.

    I already have a 20” LWCG double stick that I currently use for 1- sticking and I love it. I am wanting to get three of either the 14” or 17” for those times that I want to leave the set for multiple days. I know that I’m gonna add aiders to the steps like I did for my 1-stick to get me to...

    Ironwill and Sirius Orion issue

    I had the same problem with my ethics inserts and the iron will broadheads. They seem prone to bottoming out in inserts/outserts that have a solid base. I believe ethic is who makes the components for Sirius archery. So this may be your problem. I contacted ethics and ordered some 5 grain point...

    Need some fairy dust help.

    You also may try a slightly stiffer (400-350) spine shaft cut at a longer length (28-30 inches) as a longer shaft act weaker than a shorter one. You can always break the dynamic spine down further with more weight up front to make it act even weaker or cut and square the rear of the shaft to...

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    350 spine at 29” of carbon is the correct spine for justice, prosecutor, judgement or hunter shafts per bloodsports spine chart. If one of these shafts are the ones you are using you should be in the right ballpark as far as spine stiffness. From personal experience though spine charts only get...

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    Ok per bloodsport depending on the model of arrow you have a 350 or 400 spine is there recommend spine if your carbon only length is cut to 27 inches. If you have a stiffer (typically heavier gpi) spine you can typically make the spine act weaker by adding weight to the point end of the arrow...

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    Try turning the nock a quarter turn at a time then reseat the nock and see if the nock high decreases or increases. Nock tuning works wonders on bare-shafts. Also how far are you shooting the and how heavy is the point weight. At 10-20 yards a high FOC can appear to cause nock high impacts.

    Cam cleat on LWCG

    I just find the Lwcg double more comfortable to stand on (compared to the hawk helium I had previously), and I am considering the new Lwcg fix platform. Weight is not really an issue I’m worried about. I’d rather be slightly heavier and more comfortable and efficient on the climb than save a few...
