    What have you learned?

    I will pose another question herein, selfishly for my gain: what do you learn when you don't see deer at all on a sit? skunked a lot last season and I think my lessons were - scout more and don't settle on anything less than exceptional sign/high confidence - move slower = be quieter = assume...

    What am I doing wrong

    Look wherever there aren’t hunters. Roadside hotspots exist, way back isolated kill spots exist too. Look for what is overlooked: stuff on the edge of private, or sanctuaries, small tracts that might be harder to access or are isolated, even WMAs that just don’t have the same pressure (again...

    What am I doing wrong

    yeah, i have never hunted SC and don't know exactly that terrain, but for bowhunting I'd be looking for even thicker woods. pics can be hard to do justice but compared to the photos you posted you can see this area has a higher stem count, lots of small diameter trees, etc.

    2TC guys… rappel or not?

    asking for clarification on Munter, lots of guys say they run it on second bridge or with a backup. Is the Munter the lower hitch, taking the strain, while you tend a JRB ascender that’s higher on the same rope as a Munter, but is unstrained?.

    What am I doing wrong

    hunt where the deer are. Walk until you bump, see, hear em run off. Then figure out why they were there. all my kills on public (not many, mind you) have been places I had seen deer before. hunting high pressure+ low density areas sucks. It’s similar down here. just get comfortable ruling off...

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    honestly im being a bit stingy because I have 9 unopened 100gr stingers I could use... I did shoot some last night with 100gr tip + 100gr adapter and the wife and I agreed it was much quieter. didn't shoot thru paper but wasn't getting anything super weird on the target even at 20 yards - just...

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    I watched more videos and I think I'm getting how to figure all this out. only question would be (and I think I know the answer), is it ill-advised to have an insert that is heavier than the broadhead? Say a 125gr insert with a 100gr broadhead? I assume that's, on its face, a little weird; but...

    Official admit you fell of your stick thread

    All of these are reasons I’m moving to 2TC. I’ll risk eating bark; I’m not gonna risk dying or serious injury. I always, always wondered, “so what if my cam fails and I’m left with this linesman and 4’ of slack on a Madrock?” When I got over 10’ one sticking. Always freaked me out. Never had an...

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    with my current bow, I would need to draw 95lbs to shoot 650gr at 250fps! obviously the answer there is : faster bow, with 70-75lbs draw. without chasing anything on my bow, a 650gr arrow would be moving 191fps....

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    can the stock inserts on easton 6.5v carbons be removed safely, then?

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    Last question then: is it sufficient for me to use a 75gr screw-in adapter to achieve the 475TAW? I would have to balance the arrow to determine FOC % and such. the other option would be removing the stock 23gr Easton insert and using a 100gr insert?
  12. mschultz373

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    so maybe a better question is: how should I determine what course to take? If I shoot an 475gr arrow well, is there any reason to pursue changing DW and arrow weight to push things higher? If I were to go below 250fps, what target arrow weight would I aim for? Thanks for the help, everyone...

    Who has snorted the Fairy Dust?

    checking back in as I get serious on sorting this all out.. Easton 6.5 300 spines, 31" (uncut basically); 60# @ 30.5" DL. Seems like, per the calculators online, the heaviest I can go and hit 250fps is 475gr. For my current arrows, that's a simple 75gr additional screw on adapter. I've shot a...

    Why do you not kill the deer you are after?

    I see and hear some - running away from me after hearing or smelling me!! They jump out of those thickets and are gone!
