double shoulder bow sling
Happy New Year! I am toying with the idea of building a bow sling for my equinox.The idea being to come up with a sling that allows carrying the bow as one would a back pack over both shoulders.This would center the bow width behind you making it more narrow of a profile when trail blazing.Also woul...

It's important to remember F.O.C. isn't a critical value . As long as you have enough, you're all set. Insufficient F.O.C. will cause erratic arrow flight with scattered open groups. Too much F.O.C. will cause premature arrow drop but very repeatable and extremely stable arrow flight. As long as yo...

Something I do is cut the remove the rear insert and cut it in half to increase FOC. Also, I will remove the front insert and add a 20-30 gr set screw to the rear of the aluminum insert. Loctite it in. This gives me the FOC I prefer without adding a much heavier brass insert. How does one go about ...

Enlighten me if you can on what guys hated about the 4 blade muzzys. I'm not sure what anyone would have against any particular brand name of hunting head. I don't care for 4 blade hunting heads of any kind including the very trendy Slick Trick. The reason is the difficulty involved with sharpening...

Broadhead tuning with my Phoenix

My question is how do tune to make sure I am getting all the accuracy I can out of the Bheads...
