    My bow is toast :(

    Cause i've got an unused LH bow i would have let you have cheap. I do have a Hoyt ZX200(?), circa 2004 that is right handed. I'd send it to you just for the cost of shipping, but be advised it would be ABSOLUTELY neccessary to have it re-strung. A naked bow, but i assume you've got all the...

    NM Deer Hunt Unit 51a

    You can also email me. Use my screenname and add @gmail.com to the end. I'd love to help you brother, but it seems we're locked out for the time being. I'll also give you a call if you care to post your phone number here, but personally i don't care to share mine outside of a PM. Good luck...

    400yds? Good Lord man! Get comfy at 200 and practice being a hunter, not a shooter.

    Has Cabelas gone down hill?

    When i think of quality i think of: backpacks: stone glacier, mystery ranch, kifaru, kuiu, etc. fly rods: sage, orvis, st. croix, winston, tfo, etc. clothing: first lite, sitka, kuiu, etc. boots: meindl, sportiva, crispi, kenetrek, etc. bows: mathews, hoyt, pse, bowtech, etc. ...and many...

    Outfitters, WHY do we (you) need 'Em?

    Guys i appreciate your contributions but this supposedly banned fellow raised a serious issue, even if he did it the wrong way. I love beer, but talk of beer belongs in the campfire section. I belive he raised a point worth serious discussion. What role do guides play in modern hunting, and...

    Outfitters, WHY do we (you) need 'Em?

    At the risk of alienating some folks, but hoping to bring this conversation back to sanity... I kind of agree with this guy even if i disagree with the way he made his case. Here in NM outfitters (read: landowners in many cases) are given a guaranteed percentage of hunts. By giving them a...

    3d archery target with correct vitals placement

    I've always wondered why 3d targets don't force folks to aim at the correct spot. Anyone know why that is? Why is the highest value target not on the heart/aorta? Why train folks to shoot away from the most lethal shot? I understand target archery is target, but when you attempt to make the...

    What Should Be My Arrow Length?

    Past your fingers would be ideal. Why take the chance just to lose 8 grains? Will you ever notice a speed/trajectory increase for the 3/4 inch? ...Nope.

    Integrated arrow rest

    Agreed. My VXR wears a Hamskea, because after paying as much as i did for the bow i'm not going to pay QAD a $60 premium for a dovetail sight. Part of the reason is that - based on my own research - the Hamskea is a better rest. The other part is that I refuse to be pushed into paying more...

    Join team Mathews???

    Realize that Mathews is probably selling them for ~$700ish, and making a couple hundred, your pro-shop is selling them for ~$1000ish and making a couple hundred and yeah, your holding a $500 bow in your hands. So you're getting the exact amount of bow you think it's worth, you're just paying a...

    Join team Mathews???

    What did you find different from the triax and vxr? I shot the triax a few years ago before i could afford it and then bought a VXR 28 last year. They both felt great at the time i shot them, but i really can't compare since it's been several years between shooting each. If i had a complaint...

    NM Unit 50 rifle

    Agreed. This was a third-choice (resident) hunt for me and only a couple hours from the house. At the time i was happy to just a have a tag in my pocket and be able to walk around the woods with my bow in hand. I'd gladly take any tag over none at all; but after the fact i've decided not to...

    NM Unit 50 rifle

    The hunt turned out not so well. Spent a lot of time moving all over the unit and never saw a thing but piles and piles of old sign. This is plainly their wintering ground and while a few resident elk may hang around, it's a really tough hunt early in the season. Glad it paid off for you but...

    Recurve Shooting

    Less than a year ago I spent an embarrassing amount of money on a flagship bow with all the bells and whistles. It shoots like you wouldn't believe but I quickly got bored with putting the dot on the target and watching the arrow go there. Guns do that. Shortly after the season last fall i...

    Daily Inconsistencies

    Thank you but to be clear, i'm not that good of an archer. This was an exceptional day for me, which makes the off days even more frustrating when i'm occasionally able to see what i'd like to be capable of every day. I do this as well, consistently. I get really stoked about the upcoming...

    Daily Inconsistencies

    Hi all- Yesterday i was shooting my recurve (instinctive) and getting golf ball sized groups at 20 yards. Couldn't miss if i tried. Just a really good day. Full of confidence, i head out after work today and i'm barely on the bag. 6" groups at 7 yards. Same setup, no real change to my form...

    Pronghorn State Ranking

    Agreed. NM just went to unlimited LO tags, which I'd assume will bring the prices down. The equality and intelligence of that decision - and it's affect on us public land owners - is another conversation.
