Welcome to the wonderful world of traditional archery and tradbow!!

I would think you’d have to tip your arrow with a small game head the same weight as your field tips.

A great small game head is the Hex blunt head by Ace archery.

I don’t use them unless it starts to rain. In that case, I use a ziplock bag and remove it when it stops. I’ve had whitetail within 15 yards at eye level many times, sometimes looking dead at me! I use traditional barred cock feathers and 2 white feathers, and white wrap. They never seemed to notice it… Also, Like Bruce says, it’s another thing to keep track of.

From 2 yards eyes closed for form, all the way to 2-300 yards in hay fields for form and follow-thru, and everything in between.

At least One arrow a day keeps the doctor away! 😀

in reply to: Why left? #28845

It could be a wide range of reasons. The two that first come to my mind are:

1. If I am not following-thru the shot and am trying to see where the arrow hits while the shot is still happening, It always results in high and right of where I’m aiming. (I’m Left Handed) High and Left for you.

2. arrows are overspined. Either add weight up front or try different arrows.

One book you should get IMO is The traditional Bowhunter’s Handbook by T.J Conrads. Almost everything you need to know about shooting, arrow flight, etc… is there.

in reply to: What's your first hunt? #24887

Elk in SW Colorado!! I’m pretty feverish already!:shock:, especially since I missed last year!

Right now I’m at Stage I Wapiti fever, which is deciding which bow, which arrow, and which glove! The only constant is my broadhead: 175gr Abowyer brown bear, my only bhead the last 4 years.

Folks don’t realize how good we have it! Between the Adirondack wilds and the unreal length of NJ’s seasons, as well as the insane amount of deer (and therefore bag limits in Jersey) we are truly in an archers nirvana, though true, wilderness can get a bit hard to come by in the Garden State 😆

NY Adirondack early bear early September, with big game in North Country winding down around first week or so of December.

Guys in NJ we get the bows in the woods mid September and can fling arrows to our hearts content until end of February! 😯

Alex Anytime you want share a Northern campfire, or a southern mozzarella sandwich, pm me 😆

That’s what I’m talking about right there!!!!

GOTTA HAVE THOSE SALAMI& MOZARELLA SANDWICHES!!:D
