A rain suit is pointless for me. I prefer to use a SnugPak poncho for my western hunts. It keeps me and my pack dry and allows for the most airflow. Works very well for me.
I don’t know. It’s been pretty easy to get for me. Maybe you should try something different, if what you’re doing isn’t giving you what you want. I didn’t waste my Big Game powder on my 120 grain NBT load. I got 3000fps using Varget and that was the speed I was looking for and called it good.
For a 3 pin, 30, 40, and 50. Unless you have the slowest bow in the world, there’s zero reason to have your top pin closer than 30 yards.
I shoot one pin set on 30 yards and can shoot 0-40 yards without touching my dial and still hold on the deer.
I want all the velocity I can get. 3 grains is alot. Some will come on here and say, I’ll take accuracy over velocity. I haven’t found it difficult to get both with any of the rifles that I load for.
Again, if you’re satisfied with it, then chrono it and hunt it.
If you are happy with it, then use it. Personally, I wouldn’t be happy being that far from a max load. Also, I would verify velocity with a chronograph.
Get an electronic powder dispenser and and scale combo. A balance beam scale is the worst thing ever invented. I would quit reloading if I had to go back to that slow and inconsistent piece of crap beam scales.
A prep station is very handy. No worry about a tumbler, it’s definitely not...
I’d be hard pressed to hunt a bad area just to be hunting. I’d pass on that every time.
I get to hunt 6 months out of the year, already. I’m not gonna waste my time and money on a bad area.
For context: I use a single pin sight and I set it up for maximum point blank range. My setup allows me to get 0-40 yards while still holding on hair with my pin set at 30 yards.
I halved my distance(15 yards) cause I knew this would be the peak of my trajectory. I picked an arrow weight...
