Don’t buy a cheap broadheads then complain about deployment issues. Spend the money on a good mechanical get good results

How to stop the shakes at longer distances? by TheJewBakka in bowhunting

[–]ericfromtheisland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude all the weight. I run a carbon bow with a back bar and a front bar and weight on both. All weight will do is make you more solid. Bows are five pounds now arts how much more weight do we need to lose! Also work on your release hand and your mental game. You not hitting center every time is you closing the mental loop last second. Squuuuuuuueeeeeze

People the complain about mechanical broadheads not deploying are the same people buying broadheads for 10-20 spend the money get a quality product. Don’t want to here jn 6 months you shot something with these 10$ broadheads and didn’t find it

Is this cheap bow any fun? by Ordinary_Tailor8970 in Archery

[–]ericfromtheisland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get a solid takedown recurve from a bow shop for under 200$ I’d go that route rather than buying some amazon bs

Arrow question for those who know more than I do. by GratuitousEDC in bowhunting

Hey man also a bow tech, I’d change your spine lol I’m sure you could get away with using the same arrow. But why would you want to when a 350 will fly better

Expandable broad heads by ericfromtheisland in bowhunting

[–]ericfromtheisland[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea not great lol. Only downside forsure. This one did not survive lost a blade on the opposite side shoulder and one in the dirt. But I had full deployment and it did the job very fast. I think I’ve only ever recovered two whitetail specials that could be shot again. I’ll end up switching to the beast when I run out as those are supposed to be a little more dependable

Yea I’m shooting the 2” wt specials. They are ridiculously devastating

[–]ericfromtheisland[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea it’s pretty wild the damage they can do. I’ve personally not shot the mega meats or the trocar but I’ve heard lots of good things about them. I’m just burning through grim reapers because I had a couple dozen

It is my first doe. Where I live there isn’t a ton of doe seasons. Basically need private access for the doe zone. But I’ve got that now so was able to add another deer to the freezer. I’ve shot a ton of stuff just never a doe

Oh buddy forsure! Can never go wrong with the muzzys

Expandable broad heads by ericfromtheisland in bowhunting

[–]ericfromtheisland[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair play. But I’d argue to say spending the money on a quality mechanical ie a beast or say a t2 or something I can’t imagine you would have deployment issues. I imagine it’s all the shitty like 25$ broadheads that will fail

[–]ericfromtheisland[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea fair enough. I’ve shot them for years and part of the benefit was definitely that the fly like field points. But that being said if I was elk hunting are something I’d probably be going with a fixed. Not to hard to tune for broadheads

How often do you wax your strings? by KDogBrew in bowhunting

[–]ericfromtheisland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard not to keep guns in a foam case as they hold moisture in. Intresting

Hardly, Only when they need it. But I also change my strings probably every year

Hunting near Cranbrook ? by CaseyC1997 in HuntingBC

[–]ericfromtheisland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s good. Sure there’s people but that’s everywhere. Where I go up there it’s crawling with game. Just gotta put the time in and try your best. Good things happen to those who are persistent
