I've hunted in wolf areas and outside and haven't noticed too much of a difference. I sat and watched a herd with 6 bulls and 15 cows last fall and had wolves howling at the same time within a 1/4...

Anyone have experience with the Shaffer Opposition Sight? I like the idea of a removable sight for when I strap the bow to my pack while hiking in and out of hunting areas.

Last year I got tired of buying new targets every year. I picked up Morrel's Range Target, after reading lots of good reviews. I built a frame to hang it from, suppose to help last longer if it can...

So am I correct in assuming I would have to buy the $150 hunting liscense every year? Gets expensive after 12 years!

Am looking at setting myself up to hopefully do a trophy archery elk hunt in the future. Can anyone give me advice on the preference point process. To get a point each year do you have to purchase...

Great post Montana and thanks for the humility. Many of us, including me, have been in the same boat early in our archery careers.
Every other year or so I introduce someone to archery hunting...

Check out these websites. They test broadheads including penetration and durability.

I'm with everyone on the "Pro" shop thing. I had similar problems with tuning and they couldn't help me out. I shoot a Bowtech Justice at 70lb w/29" draw. Arrow is cut to 28.5". Started with...

I shot a 2 blade years ago and had similar experiences with limited blood trails. I posted elsewhere but will again here. The following simple test will let you know the differences in holes you...

In the last 5 years I've killed 4 bulls with my bow and all shots were under 30 yards. The year I wasn't successful, I missed a 6pt at 25 yards. I practice out to 50 regularly but there are way to...

I like the hole the 4blade leaves but they are sure difficult to tune for some reason. They have to spin perfectly on the shaft, nocks perfectly rotated, then the big issue of making sure my bow is...

I shot 3-blade for years and now hunt with a 4-blade. Anyone went back and forth also. What are your experiences?

I exclusively bowhunt but have taken several elk with a rifle. Its just not the same. I'm for getting intimate with where you hunt by learning the ins and outs of an area. This probably most...

I searched for a long time for a broadhead that made a good hole. To test I do the following. Get your phonebook out and select one sheet. Hold the sheet tight and push your broadhead through. ...

I'm with RUTTIN. Any sharp broadhead will work as long as you can put it where you need to. Some are definitely more durable than others. I would check for sharpness out of the package and be able...

At 5yds it may be an ethical shot. If you know where to aim for the kill zone of a head on animal, know what you arrow does at that distance, and are steady, its a high percentage shot. Most folks...

I'm with RUTTIN on this. If you are confident with shot placement, aren't shaky, and its under 20 yards its an excellent shot. If you hit low the arrow hits the brisket and glances to the ground. ...

I have experience in both Idaho and Oregon and they both have lots of OTCs. Idaho has more bulls than Oregon but it also has more hunters. I'd do some research. The units I hunt in Idaho have...

Have a love/hate relationship with the MX-4s. Have shot 4 bulls in 5 years with them, they leave a heck of a hole and are very durable. I have had no problems with grouping even with fieldpoints...

I've shot the mx-4s for five years and have had nothing but good experiences. I've tried others like the stingers and keep going back especially for the larger cutting diameter. They really leave a...
