How common is it to have animals "jump the string" and move before the arrow gets there? Any bad experiences with it? I personally have not had any, but I’m just curious what others may have experienced.

A lot of people are shooting a long ways at animals these days. Just curious about what bow speeds and shot distances people are comfortable with for longer shots.

Random Facts:
• Time of flight for a 300 fps arrow going 80 yards is .8 seconds
• A humans reaction time (for comparison) to an audible stimulus is .17 seconds. A 300 fps bow can only go 17 yards in that time.

Do your thoughts on the subject change depending on animal? Whitetails can be pretty high strung. Elk seem to be less cagey. Muleys… well, they’re muleys.

Was just talking to a good friend owns a bow shop talking about all thats going on , was telling if you wanted to order a new Mathews today wait time was 24-30 weeks . Unreal !

Since it’s my lunch time I decided to watch some videos on target panic. Found BowLifeTV video and Levi says ( at 1:14) he can see crisp clear pin and target. How he can do that? I have been trying to adjust my eye for years now and it’s not happening.

So I have shot the majority of the new flagship bows this year and and am making the switch from Mathews to Prime. I am super excited. I ordered the new Prime Black 5 3 weeks ago. Does anyone know the average wait time for them to come in when you order them? Has anyone else ordered a new Prime this year?

Anyone?

I’m asking for some info here. As stated I’m going to Colorado from Sept 14 to the 29 for elk. We will be sleeping in a wall tent. I need to get a sleeping bag and a pad to sleep on. My question is how much do I need to spend? I would like to spend as little as possible but I do indeed want to be warm Does anyone have any recommendations for me? Honestly looking on the internet has been overwhelming. I’m just not sure what I need. By the way Im what you call a cold sleeper. As in I’m usually freezing at home in my bed. I definitely want to error on being too warm. Afraid to make a purchase and then find out when its too late I should have went better or at least warmer. Thanks in advance!

When you buy an item from and individual what kinda time frame is normal to get a tracking number and shipping confirmation?
I know when I sell I try to ship as soon as possible. If it takes me a day or two I usually let the buyer know what’s going on.

Having an issue with my rest. It works ok most of the time but at times the rest will just stay up and not drop.

You can hear it and you can see where my fletchings are ripping through the mole skin.

An help on this?
