Nick — all you need is a godd tuning mentor. After that it’s all sweetness and light …

Steve Mc — I wish I were as open-minded and accepting as you. No, I take that back 😛

Well Gary, it’s about time you came in from the cold. 😀 You are most welcome here. Dave

Alex — with their high-poundage let-off, front and rear sights, and trigger releases, I must politely differ with you that compounds are “archery just the same.” It’s far closer to shooting a rifle than a real bow. Just a matter of keeping our terminology straight. 😛

Maddawg — A good point you bring up. If you follow this site closely on a regular basis, I believe you’ll find us to be “the ethics site.” While there is no designated ethics forum (over time we have learned that too many forums discourage the number of posts), the Campfire forum is for all topics and ethical situations are a common thread. Same for TBM magazine. If you want to talk ethics here, it’s a safe and friendly place as there is no bullying by moderators and no personal insults allowed. Tracking back through our few years online, there’s probably a book-full of polite and intelligent ethical discussions on a broad array of topics. Thanks for bringing it to the forefront.

Well Charles, should that happen, at least you’ll have died with your boots on. 😛

Tom — you can also try 300 Tuffheads on those shafts to “weaken” the spine, rather than buying new shafts. Thing is, you killed and recovered that deer and with a lesser arrow/broadhead you might well have lost it. All bad hits are unplanned and should be compensated for in equipment choices in advance. Congrats on your venison.

New bows are always fun. Congrats.

I third Dunkan on the LL Beaners. I walk hundreds of miles in mine in steep rough terrain and pack meat with them and they absolutely cut it. Nothing better I’ve ever found. About $100 a pair. Be sure to request speed laces.

in reply to: What's your broadhead and draw weight? #15424

53#, 300-grain Tuffheads. Shoot plumb through elk.

Give Ron a call at KME. He’s a no-BS guy who won’t try to sell you anything but simply answer your questions straight-on.

Hey Steve — I really like your last piece of advice there, whether the deer come or not. 😀

in reply to: AMAZING!!!!Thank You Mr. Ashby! #12309

Munsterman, thanks for these enlightening posts. Yet more evidence of the counterproductive obstinance of those who insist on the mantra “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” If we’re not shooting through animals consistently, something in fact IS broke, and the Ashby Penetration and Lethality Study has the fix! Now your young son, with his short draw and low-poundage bow, can hunt with confidence. 😀

in reply to: Outserts for skinny shafts #9710

FOC is important, but if he plans to hunt deer with these arrows, overall weight is more important. Just saying not to sacrifice overall weight in a quest for FOC. Of course, if you can get good overall weight and most of it’s up front, even better. I killed my first whitetail as a teen with a 42# recurve, cedar shafts and 130-grain two-blade (Bears with bleeder blades removed) and got good penetration. I have no idea what arrow weight or FOC were. 😆

in reply to: Favorite meal while out hunting #8967

If I’m camping and cooking I hate major preparations and hate even more the clean-up. So my favorites are (a) stuff my wife has made ahead and frozen that I can simply heat in a pan, and (b) Hatch green chili stew from a can. Of course, when a kill is made then fresh backstrap steaks that night are mandatory! Yum …
