in reply to: Become a part of the Ashby studies! #11416
Provided I don’t miss, I’m all over it.
in reply to: Custom Knife Handle: A Work In Progress #11411Sweet. I appreciate it.
in reply to: woodsman elite broadheads #10834I just ordered some 175 grain Elites. I’ll report on them as soon as I get a chance to.
in reply to: Eagles' Flight Quivers #9682just received the quiver today.
Initial impressions:
1. VERY well made. Attention to detail evident.2. The hood is much smaller than I had expected, considering it holds 4 arrows and it is the “Jumbo” version. It appears it is JUST large enough for broadheads, unless you’re using some unusually superwide broadheads. This a plus, not a negative.
3. The straps are well designed and it’s really easy to tighten them sufficiently.
4. I have an ABS single arrow quiver that holds the arrow too close to the handle. I can barely fit my hand between the bow handle and arrow. Not so with this quiver. The gap is perfect, not too much, not too little. No problem with gloves either.
5. Incredibly lightweight. Without arrows I can BARELY feel the quiver.
UPDATE 10/28/09: After using the quiver in the field, I REALLY like it. Works very well. Lightweight, doesn’t move. I’m using 175 grain Abowyer Brown Bears. They stick out a little bit, but not too much that it concerns me.
UPDATE 10/29/09: Right after the above update, with my longbow in it’s cloth case, I went pick up the bow, and grabbed it RIGHT where the barely exposed broadheads sit! Luckily I did not cut myself, so I stand corrected. A bigger hood would be better with the Brown Bears, and other long broadheads. Eagles’ Flight Chief will work, and possibly the Jumbo III will work as well.
UPDATE 11/30/09: Although unintentional (I assume), the exterior of the straps are just like the VERY fine hook side of Velcro and grabs clothing, which can get a little noisy. Not a huge issue. Can be resolved simply by sowing or gluing some cloth over it.
in reply to: Eagles' Flight Quivers #9282Hopefully, my Eagles’ Flight Apache quiver will arrive today. I’ll post my thoughts when time permits, and after I’ve used it for a while.
in reply to: NRA pros and cons #9103I had wanted to post A LONG TIME AGO to this thread, but just didn’t have the time. There was a discussion on the previous forum that I restrained myself from adding my two cents worth to as well. I’ll be brief:
To me it’s simple. This country was founded on the idea of LIBERTY being of utmost importance. The limited government we are SUPPOSE to have was a very precious gift brought about by our Founding Fathers and it should be considered as such. With this freedom, comes responsibility… individual responsibility. As government becomes more entrenched in our daily lives, people become more and more dependent on the government. It evolves into supposed entitlements. The government becomes more restrictive, we lose our freedom I don’t think the NRA goes far enough. Conservation is important. But I think so many people are so short sighted that they don’t really think about the fact that we have only had this country for 200 years. We take our freedoms for granted. Please do yourselves a favor and read:
“The 5000 Year Leap” by W. Cleon Skousen
“The Founders’ Second Amendment” by Stephen P. Halbrook
I could go on but I have to get back to work 🙂[fixing typos…I was working on very short time limit. LOL]
in reply to: The 2 Feathered Arrow #8286…I should add that my question was born out of simple curiosity. I probably won’t try it. If I’m going to try anything different with fletching, It’ll be 3-4″ feathers instead of the 3-5″ I currently use.

It’s too late in the year to tinker. I might try it next year.
in reply to: Huntmore 360 stool – A Review #63806This thread is a real tribute to this forum. I’m looking forward to the review.
I had, unknowingly, first sat on one at the local hunting shop exactly one week ago today. I had never even heard of them until then. A few hours later (I was there a long time!), a buddy of mine comes walking in. One of the few who also shoots traditional. A little ways into the conversation, he begins raving about the same chair. Telling me how great it is, etc, etc. Says it was the best investment he’s ever made. I thought he was going a tad overboard…after all, it’s just a chair, for God’s sake! THEN he tells me how much it costs! I about fell over. I have to say, he had me intrigued though. So I took a closer look. I prefer simplicity, and it looked to me like an overly complicated seat. From experience, I know you can’t get a real feel for how quiet/loud gear is while in a store, and I just couldn’t imagine it would be very quiet with all the parts. So I just gave up on the idea. Now I’m considering it again.
in reply to: Conflicting Emotions about gun hunting… #63725I think a quote from “Primal Dreams” says it best:
“Why we hunt is more important than when, where, or how.”in reply to: NEW — Woodsman ELITE broadheads #40019Howdy. Does the new tip shape address the tip curling issue?
in reply to: Consistency and Multiple Bows #24080lol. I saw that. Stranger things have happened.

I had the same problem with the Woodsman.
in reply to: one-bow guy #23747Thanks.
I don’t think many people think too much of that philosophy. Makes it tough to justify buying multiple bows 😆
Just thought I’d add my 2 cents worth. I shoot carbons for practical reasons. I’d break too many wood or aluminum arrows. It would just end up costing me too much, and I don’t have to worry about them bending…or breaking, for the most part. Plus, I don’t have to spine test them, etc. I like the simplicity.
EDIT: I JUST switched to the ABS Grizzly Stiks (It’s too soon to give my impressions of them).
