I’m shooting a thumb release currently but I struggle with target panic what is the best release to help with that while continuing to be easy enough to shoot so I can work on form.

I found a few other threads on this but they are older. I’m feeling kind of lucky, it was my first time applying in New Mexico and was able to draw the tag. Once in a lifetime for me. I really am having a hard time deciding if I want to hire a guide …..as I have never done this and always DIY my own hunts. With that said never setting foot in this area has me wondering if it worth the money or not?

If you have any advice I would appreciate it, If you send me a PM to keep your info off the thread I would respect that 100%.

Im set up with a camper if needed, I have a Wall Tent, Atv, Spike Camp. My Elk calling is average if not a bit above. I have my little brother who is also going to help with calling on this hunt.

Thanks in Advance!

Hey guys, I need some recommendations I’m looking at the Black gold rush 7 pin, the CBE Tactical hybrid 3 pin, or the HHA optimizer lite 1 pin. I currently shoot a truglo rival hunter DDP 5 pin. Should I keep what I have or get some thing else. I’m in Maine, probably going to shoot less that 30 yards, but I’m from California and want to shoot some mule deer, elk, or pronghorns. Or should I get some new arrows, I currently shoot 250 Carbon Express mayhem hunters. Thank all for your advice!!

I’ll be hunting Idaho unit 66 in mid September…first time in that unit. Just looking for a little advice from anyone that has been there. Definitely not looking for the honey holes but I’m planning on hunting the west side of palisades reservoir. Trying to decide if I stay on east side of Jensen creek road around poker peak or if I’m better off on the west side of the road bear creek and south past big elk mtn. Thanks!

DON’T TAKE THE EFFER APART UNLESS YOU HAVE NERVS OF STEEL!!!. Yeah, what a pain in the keister.

Firstly, the cutout for the lanyard is not a good design. Too small and too tight a bend. Thinking I would loosen the screws a little bit for better access, I turned them one turn too much and "unpositioned" a spring inside. The result was a stiff trigger that would not adjust. I have rebuilt jet engines for 20 years. I have built fuel controls with little Itty bitty parts from scratch hundreds of times. Well after putting the justx back together, I can assure you it’s no picnic.

Secondly, do not attempt this in front of sensitive ears unless you are comfortable with a six year old cursing like a drunken sailor.

Thirdly, enclose yourself in a very small, very clean and sealed area because you will send each of the 4 springs flying across the room at least 4 times each!

Lastly, what a great release! Performance is smooth as butter and undoubtedly will make me a better shooter.

Consider yourself warned!

I’ve been doing my first euro hog mount. It looks really nice. I’ve filled the tusks with epoxy to keep them strong.

But I’m wondering if there is something I can spray on the entire head to keep it from flaking or chipping over time. Is there?

My set up is BT SR6.
70lb
29.5 dl
420gn 300 spine arrow.
Currently shoot g5 dead meet and wac em 4 blade

My current heads have great accuracy but I’m always looking for something better. I’m hoping to find a better blood trail but don’t want to give up accuracy

I’m looking at magnus black hornet or stinger.

Is one of those likely to fly better out of my set up. Which one is more accurate.

What are opinions on 2 blade vs 4?

Thanks as always

Alright guys, I need some help finding a good mid-layer for my system. This is going to hopefully be an outer during early season (with a Stratus vest on top for windy days), and then I’ll layer it up as the season progresses until it finally finds its place as a true mid-layer. I’ve got a cheap Academy fleece that’s actually really warm that I’d use for this but it’s to big for me. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

-FL Wick 150 Baselayer
-Core Heavyweight 1/4 Zip
-Mid-Layer that I’m looking for here
-Straus Vest or Jacket

Things that I’m looking for are full zip, and no hood if I can help it. Other than that, I’m open to options.

I’ve been looking at the two below and I’m thinking I can just pick up any inexpensive fleece to fill this spot but I wanted to see if you guys knew of anything else that might work better.
