Archery Talk

luckily you dont have to put this on them...

Check your local craigslist for some deals.

May have to use some loctite....depends what is coming loose?

 

Was thinking that.

 

I ordered a special tool too haha! But, got bored and was looking to how people were doing it. I also found out a dog nail clipper taken apart works great too.

Plus my vanes might arrive today and I wanna start building ASAP. My tool just shipped, so who knows when that is going to arrive.

 

Mine was doing the same thing, and I happened to notice in the ground blind that my rear sight was loose and no tools to tighten it! About the time I was messing with it trying to get it "squared" A cow elk came waltzing through on her way to the water hole...Lucky me it was only 20 yds and I got a good shot on her. I knew the elevation was good, and with a target that big it was hard to miss

 

Cool you got the Elk!

 

Yeah I was sure it was a deer coming in and surprise 2 elk cows and 2 babies...lucky I noticed the sight loose..

 

Don’t laugh, I have seen that before with them writing cow on there Cows

 

Now that you mention that, I can totally see how dog nail clippers could double to do that. It’s the same exact arch

 

when I was in MD there was a lot of people that rode horseback and they had hunter orange on--meaning the horses! LOL much of the season was archery season...

 

Totally. I checked the one out I use for my Doberman. Would probably work perfect and you'd get two of them out of one clipper.

 

Unfortunately, a decent set of the dog clippers probably cost just as much as the arrow scratcher

 

True

 

But at least you would get 2 of them and you could sell one to somebody else! LOL

 

I use a cheap utility knife to remove fletching. Rest the arrow down where the blade protrudes from the holder. Light pressure and watch the angle so as not to dig into the carbon shaft. Been doing it that way since 2000.

 

Hey if you ended up getting a Mathews with Lost camo, I have some parts like whisker biscuit camo stabilizer etc.

I know it’s a big purchase buying a bow even if it’s not super pricey, but I could help you out if it’s a bare bow to get you ready for the season.

 

I just shoot my arrows at my old bag target, takes at least 1 fletching off every time....

 

Anyone interested in a all inclusive elk hunt in Northern New Mexico?! My friend is a professional guide with a fantastic piece of property and beautiful lodge to stay in. PM if you're interested. Here are some of the views from my weekend scouting trip there....

Dates for the hunt are Oct. 13-17.

 

Whos your friend? Company I guess

 

He used to be on here not as much anymore, posted pics of his hunts last year.
@NM Elk Taco
I've seen the property myself, trail cam pics. Overall solid guy, couldn't recommend him more. It's his own company.

 

I was just curious if I had heard of them.
I’ve gone down and guide Bear hunters a few times, run into a lot of people.
