35 yard limit for hunter and 40 for advanced hunter isnt far but to be drilling Xs that far with fixed pins is different. I know people that have gone including a couple that have made the shoot off said there have been protests. targets were beyond the yardage. Like hunter class supposedly had a 42 yard turkey. lol I'm sure a lot of people would've figured max yds and shot it for 35 or 37 yards ending up way low. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Honestly I haven't. Always had excuses. Qualified to give myself the option which is very easy and shot up to the event but then figured my shooting wasnt good enough to be competitive. In hind sight I shouldve went. A few years I averaged something over 310 all summer. Hunter or advanced hunter you pretty much have to be over half Xs to be in it.

Only time I head out much further west is if an IBO World Championship qualifier or other sanctioned event that fits my schedule. Dont have the time anymore to travel and shoot them each weekend. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I bleed Rhinehart but some lesser known brands like R&W you can find kicking around clearanced out. Big box store price but take abuse of being set on a course. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

looks great. that's a mount that drives a story behind it. so far my effort of putting down a disgustingly large buck for around here is failing miserably. i'll make sure it's a state record before i shoot to make it worth your services. good to know if i get desperate, i can shoot it in the face.

yea and you had better odds out there then me up this way.

any one here have OT2 or archer's advantage?

here i think finding a dead head that just hit 170" was awesome. Wisconsin is a whole different world compared to NE area of this state so much so i can't imagine walking up on that ...not even a little ...even if i closed my eyes and tried. lol

never really looked at every bow but when i think about it aren't they all served in the same direction (edit: right handed bow in press cable with cable guard and rest on far side. wrap under toward you and up over away. ....i guess that's with the string twist)?

Not sure tonight but last night and for lunch today we had venison lasagna. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

i have the original ez fletch mini. wonder if the helical is the same for the mini maxx. if so they have mini maxx in left and right? lol

i've seen some people do some weird things with anchor points, release, and form to cause weird tears in paper with bare shafts. i have to think that's imparting something on the arrow shaft that may or may not "knuckle ball" its movement too. if you're decent though i'm with ya that it makes sense. i don't another thing i noticed is the electrical tape in place of the fletching to keep the same dynamic spine of the arrow and keep the weight the same. anyone else do this? i usually call it good enough with trying for an absolute perfect tear to move on to things like walk back tuning, so idk if it really makes much of a difference or not.

i know what you mean.

definitely have to meet up with Dave and some others from here get togethers are always far and conflict with prior obligations.

it does but only if it throws the opposite way. plus like i said you have to have the arrow that "launches" enough to tell. some of his tips and tricks your average shooter can't shoot well enough to tell the difference or take advantage of. plus how many times does he shoot or does someone need to shoot a bare shaft to figure out which way it favors vs which way your screwing it up. stuff like this is why i have a boxes and piles of archery stuff and work on my own equipment. always new and improved gadgets to try too.

i don't have one. thought about it but nope. definitely can't get anything visible with my job. you can say wear sleeves but in the summer it's a real SOB having to cover up. i know of a couple that have to and they hate it.

i've been trolling a bit. new gear is very cool bionic. i don't have instafame. seems like the new hand and clamp are working out okay for you though. good to hear it.

here's the explaination. when i bareshaft tune though and get it dialed in idk if i can tell if it's launching left or right. i've had better luck keeping all my arrows setup exactly the same and pair together the ones that group together. also i'm a mear peasant and only have the means to fletch my arrows one way at the moment. lol FYI place didn't have the nocks despite he's got a pile of them hanging in the video. lol i can only keep some much crap stocked for me and friends at my house!

people on there are worse than i am tinkering with shit. leaving office now to see if a place has different nocks for my walmart clearance arrows i'm going to customize.

only one i've heard say to do that was levi morgan. i'm not levi morgan. i also don't plan on shooting an animal out past 60 yards so my arrows are likely getting refletched by me with whatever ridiculous helical my ez-fletch jig puts on them. doesn't matter what way they want to go. they're turning and burning with the full right helical. my 3D bow is a backup hunting bow so it gets the same. otherwise a slight offset would be sufficient and probably have less drop. besides when a fletch comes off mid flight it's hilarious. dragon fly from hell.

i'm an engineer. i over think everything. mostly though if i know my arrows are the same there's no reason for me to think about them anymore.

i'd knock half of them back that same amount. you can probably soak the points in acetone to free up the carbon fiber and reuse them. if you don't like them for some reason you still have assumed 3 left. i number my arrows and then forget all about what makes them different. after a while certain ones seem to find their way to the X more than others. then i get curious and check them out. not while i'm shooting though.

that'd be $12 in the trash for me. weird crap happens to arrows that are damaged. especially thinner walled large diameter ones.
