Me too. I missed 2 deer this year and I switched to the same sight for 5 pins. Makes me double check a lot more!

Sounds good! Would it be smart to practice with it on if possible?

I do have to keep it a little bent and itll still smack my arm so I wear an arm guard to protect or I'll bruise or burn my skin from the friction of the string

They guy at the archery shop measured then divided by 2.5. I'm a short person. 5'3 I may be able to add an inch but that would be tops though

Sounds great! Thank you!

Yeah the guy at sportsmens said I was shooting at about 300-310 fps. So would a 45 or 50 yard shot be effective and ethical for an elk?

I'll see about that draw length. I just got the string in February or March and it has little to no frays and it kept inside and waxed daily due to every day shooting so would I be okay enough to wait until after the elk season and hope to get it before january for OTC deer?

Dang! I never seen one like that before!

That is freaking crazy man! Super excited for mine!

I can easily do 55. Just did 120 shots actually! Imma bring it up tomorrow to maybe 65! I just wanna be able to shoot and keep shooting nonstop

Yeah it opens tomorrow morning! Super excited to see what people bring out from there this year

Imma see what I can do for the grains! Because it is slow compared to other at the range so I guess I'll shoot for weight instead of speed!

Wow that is crazy! You think itll happen this year? It is supposed to snow up north this Monday already. What if it does again in the end of November

That's gotta hurt! I cant imagine being in that situation, but luckily you found the bull! Imma try and stay around 35 yards and see what type of broadhead I can shoot better! I found some at bass pro I am going to try!

I'll go try that out! Thank you

Unit 10 late archery. Looks like its gonna snow Monday! I am heading there on November 16th staying until the 20th. I have a deer hunt right after that!

I am working my way up. I can get close to 60. My bow max's out at 70

Yeah. I heard of 2 or 3 at least from the early season on these forums. And that is only this year! I dont want that to be me

You have any recommendations for 2 blade fixed broadhead?

I dont have a scale or a chrono unfortunately. That is why I am worried about my max and if I have to cut my max range down due to unknowns that is fine! I have had so many possible shots at deer I didnt take due to them being JUST too far! And I will see what I can find for a 2 blade! I usually use montech g5. But I sent that MULTIPLE people have shot and not recovered elk this year alone

I am 5'3 very short!

That helps a ton thank you! I do have a question on an ethical kill range for a bull though. My bow Is 24 inch draw length this 55 pounds draw weight. I am hitting dimes and pennies at 40 yards no issue and hitting apples at 70! I use 100 grain tips with 340 arrows. Would 35 be an ABSOLUTE max? Or lower down to 25-30 range?

Understandable. I hate it when it's done for business and when this guy will buy a governor's tag and also buy an army of guides. But hunting is also about making new friends and relationships. Taught the kid a great lesson and maybe now one day that kid will do the same!

Yeah. Went from 100 to 75 this year
