    I admire your patience and persistence. Some would say "close enough" and stow the bow until September 1st.

    That’s not in my nature. I want that thing tuned and shooting good regardless of what broadhead I put on it.

    I will say that this bow is a tack driver when I do my part correctly.

    I need to do a lot more shooting to get my left arm accustomed to holding that extra weight steady at arms length.

    Not trying to be the cool guy here but it's our duty to not only know our weapons but to ensure we make them as accurate and lethal as possible. I'm with you on this LC

    Whatever...just slap a mechanical on your arrow and you don't have to do anything or know anything....LOL

    (This is purely in jest folks, zero offense and only humor is intended.)

    Not just any mech. Rage specific, and if all else fails shift to 1000GR per arrow.

    I'm going to try Grim Reaper Whitetail Specials.

    I used to love Grim Reapers but they came out of the package dull enough to drag tissue and clog the exit wound. They have corrected that problem. I opened a package and those things are almost as sharp as my Slick Tricks were out of the package.

    Also I can use my KME sharpener to make them scalpel sharp if I want.

    A landowner just notified me he is leasing the 2.3 acres I had hunted in the past for an outrageous amount
    Then he offers 160 acres with a stream & crops on each side as no cost
    Goofy goof has got his priorities all wrong

    I shot those a long time ago, sharp issues as well and I didn't understand the importance of proper arrow builds as well then. Good luck man!!

    I’m going to try some Sevr broad heads on deer this year. I will continue to use fixed on elk. I have used Swhacker on deer and they did well. I just like the idea of the Sevr. They seem a little stronger and beefier than the Swhacker.

    Well folks...it aint all roses and tulips as I once thought.
    Yes its 160 acres
    Mostly crops...90% crops
    No one else hunts this specific property
    Timber is 994 yards long
    Divided by a creek...or a stream if you live in the Northeast...which runs down the middle of the timber
    However, I can only hunt on the west side of the creek
    No permission yet to retreive a deer if it shall crosss the creek and die on the east side (owned by a nasty cousin of the landowner)
    Measurements vary from 31 yards to 19 yards of huntable timber

    Not dancing in the isle as I once was....

    You could always make a trip to Missouri. Of course we don't have those Kansas giants here. :lol:
