1st time Arrow selection help.
I keep the arrows consistent and swap broadheads between elk and pronghorn. This does require going stiff on your arrow, and while i agree that an exceedingly stiff arrow may hurt your accuracy, i personally believe going weak is much worse (and i believe that's the general consensus reading a...- pojoaque40

Arrow Spine Selection and Tuning Help
There are more variables than just weight and static spine involved. To get identical flight you'd need similar arrow setups, including dynamic spine, FOC, etc. I find that when i get my heavy arrows dialed my lighter ones are only a couple rest clicks away. For reference i shoot 28" 300sp...- pojoaque40

Arrow Spine Selection and Tuning Help
Agreed. The beauty of the modern compound is its simple and seemingly unlimited adjustability. I'll tune arrows to my trad gear; i tune my VXR to the arrows. I'd buy the stiffer arrows and adjust your rest. If that doesn't solve it have a look at swapping the top hats. A perfect center-shot...- pojoaque40

Things you've mistaken for elk/deer
Too many mistaken animals to count, plus i'm colorblind so if it isn't moving it could be green and i'd still think it was fur... But my problem is that my mind finds human objects in the woods. I'll see a tree knocked over and think it's the pitched roofline of a cabin, or see a boulder and...- pojoaque40

NM Quarantine Question
At the terminal, just tell them what they want to hear. Once you get out of the airport nobody is going to care.- pojoaque40

How hot is it in your neck of the woods?
I'm jealous. Not of the weather, but of the country. If it weren't so dam cold, i'd be a Montanan. I just don't understand how you folks deal with the winters...- pojoaque40

Broad head vs bare shaft tune
I think it's important to distinguish between bare shaft tuning and bare shaft paper tuning. I personally don't bother with the paper as i only care about what the arrow is doing at impact and i think the bare shaft impact tells me the end result of the paper tune. With my setup, an arrow that...- pojoaque40

What to look for when e-scouting?
When scouting for antelope in eastern NM, you're not looking for animals, you're looking for access. Find the biggest grouping of square miles in public and find a way into it legally. Find the locked gates, find the water holes, find the broken country that will give you a stalk. Looking for...- pojoaque40

Low left tear on Hoyt Carbon Defiant turbo help.
I know this thread is dead, but in the past i've cleaned up hard-to-diagnose sideways tears by adjusting the rest vertically. May be useful to someone in the future... Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can explain why this works.- pojoaque40

bow manufacturer that gives back
Doesn't matter. You're going to pay 11% towards the Pittman-Roberson fund whichever brand you buy, and no brand is giving that much. Beyond that you'd do better to pick the bow you shoot the best and send a check for $30 to your favorite charity. I choose wired outdoors "camo cares".- pojoaque40

Elk ecology reading
Wildlife management institute used to have it for $42 (two years ago), but i just checked and they're all sold out. Maybe call them and see if they are going to get re-stocked? I can also take a look and scan a few pages for you if you want to go that route...- pojoaque40

How's my posture?
Looks to me like you need to drop your front shoulder and put a bend in your riser-arm elbow, but as others have said, it's hard to tell from the camera angle. Is the string angle too much to get your nose onto the string? Also, i see you're wearing an arm guard. Have you ever hit your arm...- pojoaque40

Cursed rifle shooter here
I'd put more money into Cory's elk101 class and Paul Medel's teachings than i would a bow (having paid for both). You can pick up recurves for much less than a compound. A fancy bow won't do you any good if you can't get close. Invest in yourself, not your gear.- pojoaque40
