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.

Let me know what you think and thanks for the help!

Can’t believe this but there is some serious inside looks and glances at gear that has been largely overlooked in the new Petersen’s Bowhunting mag. Usually the mags are several months behind on info but the new 2019 gear addition has some pretty good sneak peaked, including the unreleased (until now) FL sweater.
Highly recommend you pick up a copy.

Just doing some research.

Hi everybody,

I have a family of five and am getting some beginner bows for everybody for Christmas. I need advice primarily on arrows, and also on any other thing I should be looking out for to start. I have measured the arm span of each family member under a pretense to get the approximate draw length for everybody via the armspan/2.5 method. I understand you will need a lot more information than I have at this time to really help us fine tune, but for now I just want to get a ballpark so we can shoot on Christmas and then begin a more rigorous fine-tuning process from that point. I have chosen beginner bows (Snake Recurve) and am trying to go to the fairly low suggested draw weights which I see in some places online for beginners so we can all start out working on technique and not be "overbowed" while doing it.

Here are the particulars:

Child 1 – turns 7 next month. Estimated draw length is 19.1". Receiving a 48" Snake recurve (15#).

Child 2 – 9 – Estimated draw length is 22.7". Receiving a 60" Snake recurve (18#).

Child 2 – turns 12 in two months. Estimated draw length is 23.3". Receiving a 60" Snake recurve (18#)

Adult woman – Estimated draw length 26.7". Receiving a 60" Snake recurve (#22)

Adult man – Estimated draw length 29.8. Receiving a 60" Snake recurve (#26).

My main question is what arrows I should order? I understand I should get fletched and not vaned arrows to shoot with this bow. Beyond that I don’t know much except that the low draw weights on the bows may make arrow selection a bit challenging, particularly for me (adult male), who has an estimated draw around 30". I know it is not possible to be perfect with such limited information, but if I can get some decent arrows in the right ballpark to have fun with on Christmas day then I can fine tune from there.

Also, if there is anything else I should know or should consider doing or getting I would be appreciative of any advice.

Thank you very much for your help.

I just bought a new Regal Purple PSE Evolve 35. I wasn’t looking for a purple bow, but it was brand new and the price was right.

Before I send it out to be cerakoted or re-anodized some other color, I’m interested in seeing what others have paired theirs with in terms of colors of string/cables and accessories.

I’m thinking about either using a complete mishmash of random colors based on the accessories I have sitting around, or throw subtly to the wind and go with florescent green strings/cables, dampeners and stabilizers end caps.

I look forward to seeing other people’s concoctions.

Thanks.
