Please welcome StarrFlight FOBs as a sponsor of CouesWhitetail.com! For those of you not familiar with FOBs, they are a product designed to stabilize your arrows in flight. They completely replace any need for fletching an arrow. There is a lot of science behind how and why these FOBs stabilize arrows so well. I will post some videos that demonstrate that. StarrFlight® is a product line of Desert Dynamic Research Inc. (DDR) located in Tucson Arizona. DDR is a company that is comprised primarily of archery hunters that are engineers from the aerospace industry, more specifically, missile design and test engineers – mechanical, manufacturing and electrical. Here is what owner Paul Morris said about his team, “Everyone on team DDR is an avid outdoorsman with a real love and passion for hunting and fishing. Being engineers, we are always analyzing and modifying our equipment in the pursuit of improved performance.” The FOB is a simple, yet carefully designed piece of plastic that is installed easily without glue on the end of your arrow. When you have a pass through shot on an animal or a target, the FOB pops off to mark the spot and is completely reusable. The FOB is designed to work on carbon arrows and drop away rests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9GGDmR7BDk here is a video showing the FOB going through a trophy taker drop away rest. Why would you want to change from fletching to FOBs? Well, arrow stability is much improved with FOBs compared to fletching, especially in windy conditions. Check out these videos showing how a FOB can reduce deflection caused by a crosswind. FOBs are also easily replaced in the field. For those of you tired of fletching arrows, this is a perfect solution for saving time and improving flight of your arrow. Here is another great reason to give FOBs a try……Starrflight is putting on a $5000 archery shoot off October 11 and 12th in Globe, AZ. Here is your chance to win some money and give FOBs a try. Your $65 entry fee to the tournament includes a free pack of FOBs. So you can find out for yourself how well your arrows fly with FOBs. To register for this archery shoot, visit http://www.starrflight.com/ Here are a few customer testimonials: I wanted to drop you a line on the fobs just started shooting them with my new rpm 360 from bowtech they fly like a dart the fob is the most simple fletching there is i had my archery shop set me up jon already has set up other bows for fobs he was skepticle at first but now he is getting into them just wanted to let you know how great the fob is thanks Kerry Just wanted to say.... Wow these fobs are bad @ss.... Never shot better!!!!! I'm. looking for a 100 yard pin now.. 80 are grouping so nice why not.lol. Have friends ordering some now... Never go back to fletching these things rock. Kevin I just returned from Africa where i was able to take nine animals eight different species all with your fob. The professional Hunter loved the way the Fob came off to make the blood trail. However the blood trail was only need a couple of times. The other shots were so accurate that the animals fell within sight, including a big Cape Buffalo. The longest shot was 45 yards on a beautiful Sable Ram. I hope i have several good pictures to send you showing the Fob in my quiver. Thanks for a great product Kenny Cole

The quote and copy/paste problem is because Internet Explorer browser isn't working perfectly with the forum software. Try a different browser like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome (both free). Should fix the problem.

LOL!! Never seen that!

Oh man, that's terrible! I didn't really think about how dangerous a lack of hearing could be! Yikes!

As I have been losing weight to get in shape for hunting, I have spent a bunch of time learning more about nutrition. I was surprised to learn that some diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes can be not only treated but reversed by a diet high in nutrition from veggies and fruits. Turns out the best way to lose weight is the same way to prevent and treat our biggest killers. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/from-table-to-able/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-8ovk81nNM&list=TLdYr0Gfp5_FB-XTHvjGXR4LisPA2dqAXe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZuuQ_yF_YU

Hey All, My hubby and I went out the other evening and picked some prickly pear fruits....they looked amazing! It's a great time of year to go gather some. We use the juice for a variety of things....smoothies, margaritas, and a very nice breakfast juice. However, these were picked so he could juice them and then make his famous BBQ sauce with it. It's my favorite! For those wondering ppear juice is high in Vitamin C and apparently helps control blood sugar. My husband likes to use a couple small branches of desert broom to brush off the spines on the fruit before picking (see pic below). Then uses tongs to grab and twist off the fruit and put it in a 5 gal bucket.

Wow! What an amazing buck!!!!

From Table to Able: Combating Diseases with food
CouesWhitetail replied to CouesWhitetail's topic in Hunting Fitness
Make sure you check out the NutritionFacts.org website video link (the one not auto showing as a video player, but showing as a link) as well as the PBS one. Good, science-based info there on treating and preventing heart disease. -
My husband has used to juice to make a tie-dyed shirt...he wears this tshirt when teaching the prickly pear juicing classes at Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior. I love the color, unfortunately, we can't find any way to make the color set. We have tried the usual methods, but nothing seems to work. If anyone ever figures out how to keep the color in the shirt when it's washed, please let me know!

I googled it a few years ago and was luck to find that nice nutrition table for it!

Lost another pound this week. Feeling much better too, eating tons more fruit, veggies and beans and a lot less dairy, meat and cheese. Last night we went to a potluck and wow, it's hard to stay on a healthy meal plan when you go to parties! I splurged by indulging in the bacon wrapped - jalapeno- cream cheese dove breasts! How can anyone say no to those?? I did find my dedication to losing weight made it a lot easier to eat just a few of those rather than eating the amount that was offered over and over to me (the guy that shot them and cooked them knows I love these! so he kept bringing the tray to me!). I ate three of these tasty morsels! I have found that beans and HUGE salads are helping me feel full and satisfied while reducing calorie intake. I experimented with making black bean/chick pea burgers this week.....they were really good, healthy and filling!

Outstanding! and I am so happy to hear that several CWT members helped you and Hunter be successful!!! Congratulations and thanks for sharing the story!!

Wow! I have seen some very light ones, mostly down south by the mexican border. I think i read something about how the coatis down south are a little different genetically from those further north in AZ and they are much lighter in color.

Excellent! Congratulations!
