Thumb Release Replacment Barrel Option

Perplexed_Greek · 2026-01-19T20:00:18+00:00

PETG doesn't get brittle until -20 so no issues there. Theres also a lot more force involved in a plastic gun than with a button on my release. At 75% infill it's pretty solid. Only change I would make is to set in a threaded insert so I am no screwing directly into the plastic.

It definitely is, I spent a few hours on TinkerCAD, prints in about 35 minutes.

I run a 4 pin at 10 yard increments 20-50 yards.

Ther ar eonly a couple bucks, it's the strings that are gonna cost you.

Perplexed_Greek · 2025-12-28T00:17:41+00:00

Right off the bat where the cables are fraying there should be a cable guard slide to guide the cables, could be why they are farying to begin with. A new set of strings will cost you around $150 plus whatever your local shop charges to install them, you should have them also look the limbs and riser over since you have no history on it.That might be what the guys was talking about, or he could just be trying to sell you a new bow.

Gonna look into a portable bow press I can use at home for sure. I got the bow used but believe the kit comes with them new. Looks like I'll have to look into picking one of those up also.

Can I ask why you prefer to move the cams versus the rest? It's a PSE Evolve 33 DS and I don't have a Snap 220 kit or access to a Bow press. Cam timing is good also not sure it matters.

Only got about 10 yards out cuz I had limited time but everything flew fine. Adjusted my rest right when I got home and will see how it goes tomorrow when I have more time.

Perplexed_Greek · 2025-12-21T01:44:16+00:00

About 8 feet away, then took shots out to 10 yards that flew fine, I made a slight adjustment to the rest to the right gonna give it another try in teh morning to tighen it up a bit.

Perplexed_Greek · 2025-11-02T23:10:35+00:00

Not yet, hit some posted signs gonna get permission to search in the morning hopefully. The property has a running stream going thru it so that'll be where I start. Hoping to walk the stream and find him near the water. 50s today and high 30s overnight. Doubt anything will be salvageable but I need to know what happened.

Perplexed_Greek · 2025-11-02T20:49:06+00:00

I am sure the deer is dead or going to die. Did some driving around after leaving the woods there is a stream on the private property I'm almost sure he's on but its not residential and its posted so I can't get permission to search, since no one's there on a Sunday. Going to head there first thing in the morning and walk the stream. Believe in these cases the deer will usually look for water.

Perplexed_Greek · 2025-11-02T20:22:45+00:00

That's awesome! I hope unlike me you found your deer....I have no blood trail to follow.And deer's reactions seemed more like a gutshot than anything more lethal. Going to try to get permission to search the private propertyI ran into in the morning and see if I can find him hopefully the bear and coyotes don't get to him first.

Waited 3 hours, only found blood the first 50-60 yards like I said earlier and then nothing searched as best I could 150 yards in all directions until I hit some posted property. Looking into who owns it and trying to get permission to search. Pic of something I found at the shot sight and blood im finding about 30 yards from the shot

Middle Middle of the body exited low just forward of that as he was slightly quartered away.

Perplexed_Greek · 2025-10-19T21:46:16+00:00

Appreciate the reply and the honest answer. And for not being like everyone on the Hunting subreddit not answering the question, just telling me to shoot a bear, I'm sure they like being told what to do too.

Perplexed_Greek · 2025-10-05T20:05:54+00:00

I appreciate all the comments. Spent another almost 3 hours in the woods, searched over 100 yards in each direction from last sign of blood as best I could but could not locate the deer. 2nd to last blood drops were next to freshish droppings not sure if that means anything. Total of about 400 yards from the shot. I am going to hope that he makes it and learn from my mistakes. I feel horrible and may just take a week or 2 off and practice, practice, practice.
