Re: Micro vs. Matrix

Thanks for the info. Sounds like the Micro is the way to go. Is there a big difference in cocking even the lightest Micro 315 ? I know I have to try for myself, just asking for others opinions from they're own experience. Thanks Tom Don't know about the 315 but I got the Mirco 335 and I can say it'...

Re: turkey hunting in the rain

Turkeys will come out in the field when it rains even in a down pour. That said, Turkeys have very good eye sight and hearing but with rain falling it gives you more chances as the rain dampens your sound in other words reduces their hearing..

Re: String Theory Help?

TIP: if your bow does not have a factory made brace height mark do this..... after you determine your correct BH, use a sharpie and put a small mark on the side of the rail then you will always have reference and know with a quick glance if your string needs to be adjusted Another great tip thanks!

Re: First Coyote

That was a successful hunt a 2 for 1 :D Congrats That story is stirring the curiosity in me, as well as the desire to get back out for a hunt, maybe my first yote hunt. Do you have plans for the kill? Take the hide? What else is/can be done with a coyote kill? At any rate, congrats again on a well-e...

Re: String Theory Help?

The distance from where the string crosses the rail to where the rail joins the riser is called the brace height. Some bows have a line scribed on the top of the rail to use as a brace height reference. You should decide on a BH that works well for your bow, and then keep your string at that exact ...

Re: String Theory Help?

Have another question about installing new string. When replacing the string with new what determines the proper length? Do we put a line on the rail, or measure the distance from bumpers or what?

Thanks for all the help this had been a educational thread for me and hope for others as well.

Re: Got my certificate yesterday!

Good stuff Ihunt, you will appreciate the warmer weather during bow season, LOOK OUT DEER! I found the bow course a near copy of the rifle one, and was disappointed that I learned wayyyyyyy more safety practices here than during my course. I think they should borrow some of the severed thumb pics w...
