Ptaylor, Thank you! I was too lazy too ready the full report. I love to read, just hard to find time to do everything I want to do…kept seeing DR Ed refer to the single bevel Grizzly head…

Steve, I in fact intend to use the heads to make meat. I already took a white tail doe with the Kodiak this year. Now I treaded on the Tuff Head for a Buck. There is still plenty of time…and I did ask the pretty girl… I married her!8)

Brennan, I have to agree. I was just wondering if that little bit of a wider cut would make a difference. Both heads are VERY similar in design. I will say, the Kodiak did a number on the doe.

This is my thought as well. I solo hunt a lot. But, It is not ever an over-nighter, mostly day trips. I would love to do it one day. Or at least share a camp fire with a close buddy or 2 in the evening and hunt all day alone…it is nice to share a camp fire in the evenings with a good friend. Good drink and conversation…and hunting…sounds great! Lets go!!8)

I would love to read it! Anyone have a link?

Sounds awesome! I am interested in some stories/tips as well.

I love the fact that the bison was native to this land and I am always drawn to stories about them. I would love to hunt them one day. They are mighty tasty! 8)

I agree with Vintage on the footing! I foot all my arras.

I usually cut them to 1.5″. typically they come out around 15g.

Find some old aluminum arras and cut em up. There is a size out there that will fit.

Plus, I noticed that a footing does not change the spine all that much. A heavier insert could.

Just my 2 cents…8)

dwc, I think you did it right. You should have a BH in mind when starting a set up. I tend to over think the whole thing. I too have a BH/point in mind when I start the process. I just let EFOC/FOC fall where it may. 8)

Mike, I gots plenty of tips at the old homestead.:D

I found that my set up I am shooting is doing well with 250 points and 300 points. The 300 points brings my weight up to 610g and 29% efoc.

I will stick with my original set up for the “whitys”. But, If we plan to hunt Canadian moose or CO elk next year, I will work on a heavier set up. Maybe even a heavier set of limbs as well.(51# set up now. Maybe go to 55# with 650-700g for the “Big Game”)8)

One tip, if you use tie on nocks, I use clear nail polish to keep the nock in place. A lot of folk use super glue, but I am leary of this, because the main chemical in superglue will eventually burn or rot the bowstring over any prolonged period of time

oops:oops:

I better switch to nail polish.
