2023 controlled hunts
Although it doesn't affect me personally because I already drew my once-in-a-lifetime OK elk tag (2022 walk-in cow hunt), I'm glad to see they've decided to reserve half the elk tags for 20+ point holders. I feel bad for the lifelong applicants who lose out to the lucky SOB's who draw on their...- Mighty Mouse

Brisket cooking time
Some would regard this as heresy, but I'll throw it out there anyway: if you're ever pressed for time, you can separate the flat from the point, cook both pieces together, and cut your cooking time in half. It's more difficult to keep the flat moist when separated, but it can be done with good...- Mighty Mouse

Switched from compound to recurve
3 Rivers Archery has a spine calculator on their website that can get you in the ballpark on static spine, length, point weight. However, I assume you're planning to use these two-piece arrows, and the 3 Rivers calculator cannot account for the effect of the joint in the middle of those arrows...- Mighty Mouse

Switched from compound to recurve
Arrow spine is much more critical with a recurve than with a compound. Depending on where your broadhead-tipped arrows are hitting relative to your field points, you may need to either stiffen or weaken your arrows. Shortening the arrow shaft, reducing the amount of weight on the front end, and...- Mighty Mouse

New bow sight for next year
@rjthehunter is a making a good point important for anyone considering a multi-pin sliding sight to understand: one pin will be accurate at all yardages, the rest of the pins will only be accurate when the sliding mechanism is adjusted to its home/zero position (usually the fully up position)...- Mighty Mouse

Arrow weight
I would expect the rate of speed loss to decrease slightly with distance because drag force is proportional to speed, so the drag effect should lessen as the arrow travels further and slows down. I think a constant speed loss assumption would give a very close estimate of downrange speed though...- Mighty Mouse

Arrow weight
As @Buckskinbob and @sclancy27 pointed out, gravity would cause these two hypothetical arrows identical in every regard except weight to fall at (very nearly*) the same rate. However, the drag forces opposing the forward motion of the arrow would cause the lighter arrow to slow down more...- Mighty Mouse

New setup
The procedure is the same regardless of the broadhead, but some heads are easier to tune than others. As @Robert N's experience illustrates, a broadhead with less surface area is typically easier to get hitting alongside field points and is less sensitive to wind and form errors.- Mighty Mouse

Marsupial Bow Hanger hooks
I have a set and use them while hunting on the ground. They're handy when you want both hands free to glass, check inReach, grab water bottle, etc. When hunting out of a tree, I'm always in a stand of some sort in a sitting position and don't use the hooks.- Mighty Mouse

Arrow weight
No one is going to dispute that adding draw weight helps trajectory. But increasing draw weight is not a trivial matter, and adding 15-20# is simply unrealistic for most archers. I comfortably shoot a 70# compound. Even if I could get comfortable with an extra 15-20#, I would be hard pressed to...- Mighty Mouse

Arrow FOC
It's also worth taking into consideration that more speed makes an arrow more forgiving of range estimation error. Giving up speed to get more "broadhead forgiveness" comes at the cost of giving up "range forgiveness." Like most things in archery, this decision lies along a continuous spectrum...- Mighty Mouse

Arrow FOC
Yes, that's what my analysis would suggest. Higher velocity would increase drag force in the X direction, which would decrease the angle calculated as atan(FY/FX). I also think a greater degree of offset/helical angle on the fletching might help keep the arrow flying "straighter" by orienting...- Mighty Mouse
