I didn't increase the weight up front, but I saw no significant difference in POI. I only shoot from 20 yards free-handed, though.

That's a neat design. I just got the new Midwest Turkey Call Supply catalog yesterday and saw another new one (to me). It's called the Twistin' Hen . Looks like you'd be sacrificing some control, but it'd be VERY repeatable and somewhat foolproof. Should be really easy for one-handed operation if yo...

Has anyone come up with a safe way to carry/store these things? They barely fit into my old bow case, and they definitely will NOT fit into my new one. I'm thinking of unscrewing them all together for storage. Like I said in the ground blind thread, I've got a long walk to get to my turkey spot and ...

I've had my eye on the Wild Thing pack, BigBird. I have a pretty long, intense walk to get setup for turkeys in the spring and that sounds like just the ticket. Thanks for the review.

Not all processors are the same, guys. I had one that was in my town that would saw through the bones and I'd get bone chips in the packages and it was awful. I found another guy 20 minutes away and tried him and I'd never dream of doing it myself again. His day job is butchering at a meat shop and ...

I know your bow is relatively new... are you only seeing the arrow drop down vertically? If so, could your string just be stretching?

I guarantee you that changing your string is what changed your POI - not the temperature! :wink: The string will absolutely stretch - keep an eye on where it is with relation to the marks on your rail. If it stretches to be ahead of the forward mark, you'll want to take it half off, twist it a few t...

If you want him to be a hunter for life, then this trip is the most important one he'll ever have. Make sure you keep it positive and if something goes wrong and you don't get a kill, then don't worry about it. Just seeing a deer up close in the wild is a huge thrill for a kid that age. He'll be hoo...

I bought the Right Stuff package and I've subsequently purchased another 6 of the same arrows for my Exomax. No complaints here and those arrows and heads did quite a number on the one buck I shot this year.
