2024 Super Bowl vittles
Nothing particular for the Super Bowl. We really don't eat snacks any more, so no finger food/snacks. It's a week away, so no prediction about what we will be having either.- jimh406

Subsonic?
Subsonic doesn't necessarily have to do with power. You could have the same amount of energy but just go slower than the speed of sound. For instance, use a much heavier bullet. Subsonic is common for 300 BO, but you can also use light bullets if subsonic doesn't matter to you.- jimh406

Should I change fletchings
If they are ok as is, and they come that way, you'd be better off leaving them like they are to match. It sounds like it is easy to go to the store to buy compatible arrows. Once you are doing your own thing, all of the new arrows will have to be refletched which seems like a waste. -

Leupold Warranty
I was thinking Cabela's would replace your scope in their store. And, Cabela's would deal with Leupold independent of you. -

Should I buy a .338?
I don’t know if OP bought one yet or not. I’m avoiding going larger than 30 cal to use the more normal lighter suppressors. There is quite a lot of difference in size/weight. Not that much difference in the 30 magnums and the 338 magnums. -

Bear Pistols for bow hunters?
I don’t think carrying a sidearm is controversial in states that have Grizzlies. As far as not carrying or even bringing bear spray, if you feel lucky, it’s up to you. However, it’s like carrying for personal protection, very few people will ever need it. -

Leupold Warranty
Yes, a convenience warranty. Take it to Cabela’s instead of mailing it back. -

Healthy bread; What is there?
Google is wrong again. There is no healthy bread. It's all essentially sugar. If you are eating because you like the taste that much, just buy what you like. If you want to be "healthy", don't eat any of it.- jimh406

Michigan firearm deer hunt numbers plummet, particularly in U.P., and locals blame wolves
The article implies wolves are only a small part of the story. Sounds like some logging initiatives needs to happen in the UP to diversify the habitat. Maybe the Ruffed Grouse Society could take the lead since they are experienced changing habitat in other states, or maybe they are already...- jimh406

I think I want a pistol
It's hard to beat a Ruger Mark IV Lite. Do buy one with a threaded barrel, and you may want to get one with a picatinny rail to easily add a red dot or scope in the future if you want. -

Axle to Axle Advantages?
I recommend going to a range that will let you shoot different lengths to make your comparison. You'll likely find very little difference. How the bow is setup and technique has a lot to do with accuracy. I'd say it is more than axle to axle length. -

Which fletching jig?
There are right/left/straight/helical clamps. They also can be offset different amounts. Make sure you buy what is compatible with your arrows. If you have them made by a local shop, ask them what they use and buy some spare parts (feathers (left/right) /vanes) from them. -

Indoor tournament draw weight
I find it helpful to have separate equipment for target including a target quiver. I started with a hunting bow, and moved to a target bow/arrows. They weren't that much different in draw weight, but that kept the wear and tear off my hunting bow. It isn't just about draw weight since most...
