Does anyone here have any experience with those tophat screw on adapters for wood arrows? They seem pretty sweet, I dont know if id use them on big game but being able to change heads on my stumping arrows from stumpers, to field point, to broadheads just in the truck sounds pretty cool. Curious how they hold up.

Got a question for you black bear hunters…so I got invited to go on a black bear hunt in about two more weeks. I’ve never hunted them before and have the opportunity to hunt them with a bow. The hunt will be over bait (which is legal) and from a blind of some sort. I’m wondering if my 64” Toelke Whip drawing 48# with 660 grain arrows is adequate? I’ve been studying over black bear anatomy and skeletal structure and I’m not seeing anything that makes me think that I need anything heavier. There again, I’ve never hunted them before. I do have a takedown recurve that’s drawing 54# and the arrows I use with it are right at 700 grains. Thanks in advance for your input and advice.

Has anyone else tried these ace broadheads? I've never used them before but I grabbed a pack for this new set of arrows im gonna build. But straight out of the package im not gonna lie, im very unimpressed. The bevels are rough cut which I don't mind, but they aren't even close to uniform. One of them is missing the bevel on one side altogether. And two of them don't appear to be straight. They were what I considered affordable, but I expected better for the price I paid. It's not even worth returning them to 3 rivers with all the border fees I paid to get them here.

I have been working on gap aim after shooting instinctive for over sixty years. It all started after I read Byron Ferguson book I started thinking about the gap that I had from my arrow point on the target to the spot where I wanted my arrow to hit. And remembered what Byron said about him using a gap style of shooting. And how after he did his shot improved dramatically. But he didn’t shoot completely with a gap he would set his gap then concentrate on the spot that he wanted to hit. I have been playing with this style of shooting for a little bit now ten yards. And I am shooting very well and feel it is a very accurate way to shoot. But then last night we started our indoor league and I had to find a different gap for a longer range . And was very disappointed in how I shot . It took me half the night to find the new gap and get settled in to be able to hit the spot I was supposed to be hitting. But I felt like I never could really get set on a spot that was not there so I could not get comfortable with the gap set all night long and my group was not as consistent as I felt it should have been. I do think that everyone shoots with some kind of gap method weather they set the gap consciously Or their subconscious does it for them. Once I started paying attention to the trajectory of the arrow and that’s when I started thinking about setting my gap. If anyone has any thoughts on this any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

For hunting hare or rabbits, what do you prefer? Broadhead or small game blunts? I typically use hex heads or 38 special casings. But I found these broadheads for dirt cheap on Amazon and I thought i'd try them out. 6 pack for 16 bucks. I weighed them, the heaviest being 130grains and the lightest being 122grains, the rest were hovering between 127 and 128. They seem really solid. Im not going to use them on big game, I have good heads for that but I thought for bouncing off the ground shooting at hare they'lldefinitely be okay.
