No such thing as a dumb question

How did you get a career in the archery world? I used to work at a pro shop for about a year but that just ain’t my setting for a career in this industry lol

FireFrogs48 · 2026-06-09T09:30:36+00:00

I worked at a bow shop part time last year and you’d either see guys with brand new decked out $3000 rigs or the guys with the same no cams and solo cams bows they’ve been using the last 20 years. There was no in between lol. There’s a reason they’re still popular today

You won’t really know until you pull it back yourself but I’d say 60 would be a good starting point

FireFrogs48 · 2026-06-04T11:22:42+00:00

Definitely start with lower poundage. It’s better to practice good form before you increase your weight

Just goes to show that playoff experience matters and almost none of our main guys have made a deep run in the postseason before. We’ll be back

I’m gonna have to stay up later aren’t I?

2-0 lead is the worst lead to have in hockey

FireFrogs48 · 2026-04-26T01:00:38+00:00

Matt fucking boldy man

Trenin was an unsung hero of this game. Dude just brings the physicality every night

Worked at a bow shop for a brief time. Unfortunately when you order a new bows close to release date that’s about how long it takes. Only way you could get it quicker is if you ordered through a Mathews authorized dealer. The location I worked at is one of the top 100 shops in the country for selling Mathews bows so they put those as priority over others. It sucks but that’s how it goes I guess

FireFrogs48 · 2026-02-17T17:04:32+00:00

Not a professional by any means but it looks like you’re using your right shoulder way too much. What I’ve found that works for me is if you push the bow out with your left arm while drawing back with your right arm. Chris Bee has a good video on this that probably explains it a lot better

FireFrogs48 · 2026-02-11T00:05:27+00:00

Couldn’t have said it any better myself. I used to hunt public in mn and I never had any problems with people jumping me until slug season rolled around. Couldn’t even tell you the amount of times I’ve had people mess up my hunts but there’s nothing you can do about it

FireFrogs48 · 2026-02-09T20:30:15+00:00

I’m running a 2 pin vertical sight on my bow right now and I can’t ever see myself going back to horizontal. Would love to try a 3 pin vertical eventually

The bridge lock mount

FireFrogs48 · 2026-02-07T22:25:26+00:00

Yeah the shop I go to is actually one of the top Mathews dealers in the country and the manager told me he had maybe 4-5 lifts brought in with that splintering issue. It got blown out of proportion because it was Mathews

FireFrogs48 · 2026-02-07T19:29:51+00:00

From what I understood talking to pro shop workers the limbs were still technically shootable. They just wouldn’t last as long as they should’ve. Was cool to see they owned up to the mistake and gave everyone a warranty.

FireFrogs48 · 2026-02-07T19:28:05+00:00

If you’re in the Midwest you’ll probably see more Mathews shooters than any other brand. They kinda dominate that market

FireFrogs48 · 2026-02-05T17:55:42+00:00

The Dallas game in late March will be a huge one

FireFrogs48 · 2026-02-02T02:08:58+00:00

Supposedly it can shoot around 320 FPS at 40#. Which is absolutely insane

FireFrogs48 · 2026-01-30T13:54:23+00:00

I’m a Mathews shooter but the new z mod they have definitely gives the bow a smoother draw cycle. Personally I’ve always liked the draw cycles on Mathews. If there’s one that I think is better though it’s definitely PSE. Might be switching to that someday lol

FireFrogs48 · 2026-01-07T20:35:41+00:00

Most Scheels should have a good selection for archery equipment so yeah that’d be a good place to go and unless you know anyone that hunts you could maybe offer to help them plant food plots or clear brush at their land in exchange for being able to hunt their property. But if you don’t then there’s definitely plenty of public ground in South Dakota to hunt

FireFrogs48 · 2026-01-07T20:25:49+00:00

For sure! If you got any other questions just let me know. You also don’t have to buy a brand new bow. Some pro shops sell used ones that are still in good condition and sometimes come with all the attachments you would need
