It's crazy how much of a difference shipping is for each person. It's like if we have the same sized/weight crate and you get yours sent on a Tuesday and I get mine sent on a Wednesday we're looking at two totally different prices. The entire industry is wild

I thought about the air tags but they work off of other apple devices around. Sitting in the airport realizing now there's gotta be plenty in any airport.

Sitting at Newark international right now. Checked in at Reagan in DC before flying here. United agents at kiosk asked if it was a gun. Said no and checked it in. Once in Newark I had to go to baggage claim as the flights weren't connecting. Checking back in another United agents asked what it...

You gonna do a full review?

Federal Police Captain, former Navy MA, 2 years into a PhD I'll use for the retirement gig.

From what all I've been reading doesn't sound like RSA will be much of a destination for tourism before too long. Better get your hunts in now. What do you think?

garbage broadhead right there

Guys come on. Maryland uses JO #2 crab seasoning.

Irish elk antlers were so big they made them go extinct.

International not a gun sign

Next week I'll be flying United from Newark direct to JNB. I have "No gun" stickers all over the case. We'll see how they handle it in Newark.

You missed the latest MeatEater podcast. Dire wolves were around 140lbs the TV been lying to us. I'd take a shot at a Bison latifrons with a 1000+grain arrow, well over 25% FOC.

My entire family is from Wyoming, it is fair to say I've spent a great deal of time there. I've been hunting there since I was 12. Wyoming weather is extremely variable. There will be wind, the temps will drop. Even if you're lucky with the weather it'll be different one day to the next. The...

420 steel, nope. That's a cheap metal that won't hold edge. 420 or aus 4 is a no go

I live in Maryland, most sellers don't know the law here either but they just avoid it. I can't fault them for not wanting to be legally tied up for 1 order. I get things sent to friends in VA and WV

It's crazy that I go to Tractor Supply to save money on this stuff. I also get sheep ivermectin to give to my dogs. Heart worm medications for my dogs run $250+ for 3 month supply and a bottle of ivermectin that will last 5 years is $40. I have a Spanish Mastiff that weighs 175lbs and a Beagle...

So my original plan was to take 2 sights to SA. But then I found that people are 3d printing aftermarket "dual wheels" that allow 2 sight tape wheels at the same time. My arrows are all built identical. Sirius archery 4mm Orion's, Spine: 250 Straightness: 0.001 Sirius half out stainless...

Straight garbage broadhead. Who in their right time would buy this

very nice set up

Welcome aboard

Heavy with high foc you should be good shorter distances (20-40). I'd send some arrows through a chronograph and get the speed. That would be more info for future reference on any new bow or arrow/broadheads you want to try.

Montecs are Chinese garbage. Low quality tempering, super thin blades, and at absolute best (M3) they use AISI 420 stainless steel. Why do you think you can buy three of them for $40? Because getting them made in China with who knows what type of quality control and having them shipped on a...

It's colonialism. As it has always been and whether the times promote a populist left government, as they do now, or an authoritarian right government, as in the past, the masses have been brainwashed into believing they know best.

Lusk archery is the man to go to for broadhead research. You can then do your own style of testing to add onto his. I do wish there was a reliable source testing arrows out there. I've spoken a lot about arrows and my thoughts on them but little is given in way of research/testing to the...

Adding bleeders to a 2 blade single bevel will help with blood flow. 3 blade one piece blades are fine for smaller game if you want a wound channel that won't close. I have switched to Tuffhead single bevels as they have a solid bleeder ring that can be added. Once you start talking about good...

Enjoy. Good luck

Over spined usually means the right spine

Very nice. I'll be going to RSA for PG. I got tuffheads and my goal is to use 2 heads repeatedly. I will be sharpening them up on diamond plates when I can but I really want to put them through the test.

I've seen these 150gr cleavers and Grizzlystik Maasai broadheads and their curved bevels. I believe your single bevels need to be as sharp as possible which requires one to bring them to a mirror finish. Those curved angles, in my thoughts, would only complicate the sharpening process. I'm sure...

Welcome aboard.

Sorry not a V bar. Get a side bar

Namibia sounds great. How did the travel work out?

I did a breakdown here on my experience with samurai broadheads with pictures. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/grizzlystik-samurai-single-bevel.72264/ I did use the cheaper steel (red) broadheads but I was successful on an Aoudad. But those heads were one and done. Iron Will or Tuffheads...

I'd say these guys in the industry have or are receiving money and free stuff from Easton. They have been in the industry and know everyone. I'm sure they wouldn't shoot junk and Easton makes quality gear but the question should be is it the arrow for you. There's give and take with choosing...

The longer your stabilizer the less weight you'll need. So on a 6" stabilizer you need more weight to get the same effect as using a 12" one. Your rear stabilizer is to help offset any torque in your bow or the way you personally handle it. The rear V bar you use should have notches in it so you...

Great report write up. Very informative

Nice as always

Agreed. Seems kinda wild to me you tell the client about all this once they are there. What would have happened if they said no thanks?

Sirius Orion are what I am running this year. 4mm with good carbon. I have a 10% off code for Sirius. SAFF10 They have their own insert/outsert or they will use ethics if you have them do your set up. They also have an option to give you the foc and specs for the arrows if they assemble them.

Ashby foundation has 12 penetration factors. These factors were found in decades of tests with trad bows. You're wife's bow is more comparable to those then a too of the line carbon bow today. So this may help out with her set up. 1. Structural integrity of the arrow system 2. Arrow flight 3...

Are you getting your speed from a chronograph or using some equation?

The skin creases in that Nilgai is insanely good. With the turned neck how the ripples and creases are. That was formed in the manikin then the skin was pulled over and perfectly placed. That's skill guys. You go to a taxidermist who has great eyes, ears, and can form the skin like that you...

The skill level of a lot of these people is wild. And going start to finish in 3 hours is insane
