Hi Stephen

Well Done! Congrats on your major accomplishment ! How about some pics when you get a chance ? See much game?

I have thought about doing the continental divide trail – done parts in the past. Unfortunately do to health issues I’ve waited too long to travel the whole route anymore.

Hi Chris

Hopefully grizz will respond to you. Or maybe some of the other members who want to hunt in AZ will contact you. What area of the state are you in — or do you guide all over?

You also might go to the  ” search the forums ” ( bows and equipment / friends of foc) and ask about lighter than std bows for hunting – in the past there was a lot of discussion about this—

in reply to: Understanding aluminum arrows help! #139277

Hi Andrew

What Richard said – I Havn’t used an aluminum arrow in a few years so can’t give a definitive answer. I remember 2213s and 2117s were well liked for your bow weight /draw. I think whatever arrow in that class that shoots well with a razor sharp broadhead will work fine for most N Am hunting.

Thanks for the info on TAN. Been thru Nevada a lot , but have not hunted it as of yet.

This looks like a good way for interested members to find out about bowhunting the state while helping the cause —-

Yep , pretty quiet.

I imagine most folks are out enjoying the summer weather, rather than inside writing on the  computer.

Got hot quick, here in NM, been a real windy year also.

I think I will go out and shoot some arrows this morning while it is still cool – haha- start practicing for the fall.

Have a great day everyone

in reply to: Smoking arrows ??? #138851

I don’t have the foggiest idea how to do it —-

But, where there is smoke, there is fire – or the possibility there of – safety first.

Mixing chemicals is something I avoid at this stage in life

Clay Hayes has a video on it also ( no jig, flemish ). He does excellent videos on a multitude of tradbow subjects – imho

 

I’d call the tournament officials for string rules , don’t have any idea what’s allowed these days

Personal preference again –

Flemish- more adjustable/ more quiet ( a lot of people prefer the look of them on trad bows).

Endless loop – settle faster / more stable,  tournament archers preference
