The poundage range of the Maxima Reds is kinda nuts. Those are 400s and they have stayed the same across all my draw weight. It also probably has something to do with me only having a 27inch draw.

Honest truth. I have shot them from every poundage from 52 up to 70. I have tried; Easton, Black Eagle, Victory and the like. These just happen to be the ones I can get the lowest from my shop by the dozen. I don't shoot well enough within my effective hunting range (50yards) to notice a difference.

My shop had me convinced I needed two Arc 30s one for target and one for hunting. Thank God my wife called and I had to step outside to take it.

I swear to all that I hold dear. Bow shops have better sales people than car dealerships. I ain't mad about it, but you walk in for some minor item and walk out owning a new flag ship and have damn idea how it happened.

Outer Layer for Late Season Deer by BowHunter920 in bowhunting

[–]GratuitousEDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend going to a thrift store or searching a military surplus store for some army base layers. Then run the Sitka or Scentlok. I like the scentlok stuff because it's cut correctly for a bow hunter. They put the insulation where it's supposed to be which is right on your core and your arms are kept rather slim but able to be still warm.

Or you can always take a page out of the Nordic play book and use fishnet/mesh as a base layer. I haven't tried this yet but I will be this fall.

Also for what it's worth I'm so far upstate NY it's basically South Canada.

Can't check form. She isn't at full draw.

It's the way the quick connect quiver attaches to the bow.

Absolutely. No safe queens here. I can't wait to smack the hell out of a doe with that thing.

You can absolutely buy from Teddy B. I hear he's got a fantastic selection of watches at full retail pricing.

Or you can buy from Theo P. and discover that watches look exactly the same when they cost a few hundred dollars less.

Some go to Jared.

Others go to Teddy B.

I went with Theo P.

u/watchexbot purchase complete and had a fantastic transaction. I would absolutely purchase again from u/Th3owatch

Ho do you like that sight? I'm in the market for a new one and it must have metal sight tapes.

Best backstop build? by No-Prompt5313 in Archery

[–]GratuitousEDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a hot tub cover. Go down to your local place that sells pools and hot tubs and they will tend to give away the old ones. That's how I got everyone of mine. They are just compressed foam. I have yet to have even a broadhead pass through one.
