3 Blade Sharpener - Stay Sharp 344
I bought one of these and sharpened up 3 VPA 300gr 3 blades for my trad bow. I could never get 3 blade single piece heads really sharp. This worked very well. To me a big improvement over a flat stone. https://staysharpguide.com/products/344 I really like using sandpaper rather than a stone. For my ...

Re: Is a shoulder/scapula shot a concern for a modern crossbow hunter?
Your best shot is a broadside shot or a quartering away shot. An arrow shot quartering away the arrow may still get stopped on the opposite shoulder but its usually a done deal cutting lung, liver and heart on its way in. Absolutely! But the OP question is basically "I don't plan to shoot at t...

Re: Is a shoulder/scapula shot a concern for a modern crossbow hunter?
Holy smokes, crazy pics. I'm not advocating aiming for the shoulder, I'm advocating for the fact that we're overstressing using heavy bolt setups. I'm thinking that any modern crossbow with 350-380gr bolt should shoot through a shoulder no problem in the event that a poor shot is made. I 100% disag...

Re: Testing : Tooth of the Arrow Broadheads
I'm indexing my Matrix arrows now stiff side up and will rebuild them that way. Them being a bit longer and having slightly less FOC, I'll be interested to see how they fly with a fixed head. Verdict? My 18" Zombies weigh ~402 grains with a 100gr standard TOTA vented head. I thought I may need...

Re: Testing : Tooth of the Arrow Broadheads
So I guess you don't need to shoot a mechanical to have good accuracy at high arrow speeds.

Re: New CDC mask guidelines when filling up your hunting truck!
I "filled up" aka the $100 limit, on Friday at $4.23/gal. Drove by that station Saturday and it was $4.35/gal. $0.12 in 1 day! BS.
But yeah.......been riding the Indian Scout a lot more.....

Re: Testing : Tooth of the Arrow Broadheads
True true...but if you can get them aligned then you KNOW you have perfect arrow flight.gerald strine wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 12:03 pmAnother idea is to sight in at 40 yards with the broad heads and who cares about the field points .

Re: Testing : Tooth of the Arrow Broadheads
I just ordered a spine tester today. I'm looking forward to checking the spine on a boatload of arrows. Especially the ones that have never seemed to fly right. I was gonna ask if you tried each vane in the rail (trying out different spine locations). That might let them drop right in with the FP. ...

Re: Wild hogs
Traps are probably the way to go. If you've never seen one, a "trap" is pretty much a large fenced in pen with bait in it. Hopefully like 20 - 40 hogs get in there and start eating and then you slam the door and go in and shoot every last one. As I learned it.....a hog has about 7-8 piglet...

Re: Vanes
A little OT, but you may want to try some 2" feathers. I use them a lot. Both Gateway and Trueflight make them. ABout the size of Blazers and steer my fixed blades well. I favor Trueflights over Gateway tough as they seem to be ground more evenly and consistently. I think if you contact them t...
