Awesome! Thanks for the input! The muzzy's I used were new. Only shot them a couple times each to make sure my sights were true to them, not my field points.

Here are the arrows. Bottom one was the killing arrow but even that one is bent (carbon arrows so that makes no sense) right at the broadhead. The 5th arrow not pictured broke like the other two right at the tip. The odd ball one that broke by the fletching also seemed weird.

The Beman's were a 400 stiffness. Sam was shooting 280 stiffness. I did go in after the fact to Scheels who told me based on my poundage and draw length that 400 were the best fit for that bow. I would probably fall onto a different spot on that scale if I go up in poundage with a new bow. I had...

I've got a friend with a with a chronograph and am going to check my speeds. Also will take a few pics of the arrows when I get home and post them too

Lucky is the only term to accurately describe the situation. 1st arrow must have deflected off the rib because there was no penetration into the diaphram and it deflected out the bottom of the elk nicking the artery on the inside of the front leg. After 3 and a half miles of us following a very...

I was using Muzzy Fixed 3 blade, 100 gr. My total was 400 gr. give or take a couple. Had them weighed but don't remember exactly. Since my bow is maxed for lbs, I shoot 100 gr. instead of 125 gr. for a little extra speed.

I don't want to sound like a complete amateur, but what role does the brace height on a bow play? I always see that is one of the main numbers advertised on bow websites. Is it like the axle length where it's just telling you the height or does it affect something like fps? Also any input on a...

Bump?

Sold:P229 for sale. Bought it new and haven't shot it. Only the 1 test round has been shot through it though I have cycled rounds through the chamber. Was going to use it as my carry gun so was practicing the "Slap, Roll, Rack" with dummy rounds. Decided to get the M&P Shield as its smaller...

Also what's your recommended sealant? Hoping for something not super glossy.

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for!

Not sure if this is the right category to post this in but I'm going to be painting 2 synthetic stocks. I've watched quite a few videos and read articles on it but no one ever seemed to use a primer... is that needed? Every video I watched, they degreased the stock and went right to painting...

If they stay the same distance and come in to our calls, ya the scope would be fine! My mind just goes back to what if we can't get them closer. I'm cheap so I don't pull the trigger unless I'm positive I'll get my money for the bullet. Same with geese hunting. Most of my geese breath have...

OK thanks!!

I got "lucky" with the Colorado hunt. Matt filled his tag and Sam wasn't hunting so they packed the elk out and left me to try to find a cow.
