Ha! I guess I got over exuberant on my first build and just wanted to see what my bow could max at. Why I decided to do it to 12 arrows... who knows?
The hunt didn't fall through. Was an ID elk hunt during which the elk didn't want to cooperate. Like I said, now that I've seen the max I did a...
Twelve 200 spine Sirius Apollos

insert tuned/nock tuned for my compound

Used tent in great shape. Stuff sacks have a few tears, but tent, poles, rainfly, and footprint have loads of miles and nights left in them.
I've spent maybe a dozen nights in this tent, including a backcountry elk hunt in Idaho. I'm 6'4, 250lbs and was very comfortable. I'd be keeping this...

Thanks for the input. I don't quite understand how I wouldn't be able to properly use my sights without it. Do you mean that I won't be able to see them well enough because of the string blocking my view (since it won't be split by the peep), or something else? It seems to me that I'll be able...
As my eyes get older things are getting a little softer around the edges visually. Because of this and past issues with it not turning correctly, getting out of position, etc., I'm thinking of getting rid of the peep sight all together. Anyone else who has made this transition, do you regret it...

I got this 1/2 dozen arrows in January from a local shop, but I couldn't get the arrows to behave consistently enough with my current set up. Most...

Thanks for all the input! Seems the consensus is on pad and bag, which I kinda figured. So what brands and weights do people really like? I highly doubt I'll ever need it for extended sub-zero camp outs, but want to be prepared for anything from cool nights (40s-50s) to 20s and teens. I also...
I've been researching tents for hours on end in prep for future backpack hunts, but then realized I might be looking in the wrong place for optimal comfort at base camp (not up for bivying just yet), and I should really be worried about a high quality sleeping bag and pad.
Basically it seems to...
