RE: no more leeches

I think right on the box it says leeches are only supposed to last for about 1000 shots. They are pretty cheap to replace to. I have easily put 2000 shots through mine and haven't had any problems...

RE: detachable quiver on or off

I have a kwikee kwiver that locks down tightly onto my Mathews so it doesn't make any sound. I also have limbsavers on it to dampen the noise. The quiver's weight does affect the bow's accuracy...

RE: Home maid target, ever try this?

I have made a target like that and it stops arrows very well except the target is extremely heavy because you really have to pack the papers to keep the arrow from going too far in. I may have used...

I got my first deer in 1997 when I was 12. It was my first day hunting ever and it was the Michigan bow opener on October 1st. I had been in the woods for about 50 minutes and it was just after 6 pm,...

RE: Optimal ke/trajectory question

KE is the mass of the arrow times the velocity squared, this causes kinetic energy to depend more on the speed for a higher value.
Momentum, on the other hand is the mass times the velocity....

RE: Double lungs, heart, or heart and double lungs?

I agree heartily with dick cress in that the easier shot is the double lung shot and is just as deadly. When I was 12 I shot my first deer with a 38 # draw weight. It went through both lungs and the...

RE: Double lungs, heart, or heart and double lungs?

I go with the double lung because there is a greater room for error in range estimation. If you miss low on the heart there isn't much and I personally think the safer shot is a double lung shot and...

RE: HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHAT GRAIN OF BROAD HEAD TO USE.

I agree with straightarrow if you have a broadhead on the tip it helps a lot to put some drag on the back end to stabilize the arrow. I shot with regular plastic fletching then switched to synthetic...

RE: Axle to axle length, brace height, and cams
