It's a nice sentiment but a stick means wood and "stick and string" means that's all there is. I'll probably get flamed but only because the truth hurts.....

The man is offering advise that you can take or leave! I see no reason to use the occasion to beat the guy up over things you got issues with!

A few years ago I began delving into the study of momentum vs. speed. After years of REAL studies and testings, I'd already determined that mechanicals were NOT the broadhead of choice for elk and that cut-on-contact broadheads performed far superior to all other designs. Much thanks to Dr. Ashby's reports (a man who has done by far the most thorough and conclusive studies and has contributed more to the archery worlds in these regards, than any other man in history), I have been completely re-educated in my thinking, as have all of my archers and MANY of my bowhunting friends nation-wide. All of us now shoot arrows and broadheads from Alaska Bowhunting Supply and consequently ALL of our success has improved SIGNIFICANTLY! It is now a fact that archers who choose to hunt with me shoot the best broadheads and shafts, period! Many of our testimonies of success can be found on their website : <a href="http://www.alaskabowhunting.com/BIG-Big-Game-W33.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.alaskabowhunting.com/BIG-Big-Game-W33....</a>. I stand my their products and emphatically state, we owe the quarry that we pursue the BEST chance at a quick, clean and efficient death. This equipment insures this possibility and in my opinion, for archers to use anything less on BIG GAME is irresponsible. ~ Mark James~ Like most contemporary archery, I too was a "speed freak" and believed speed was EVERYTHING (for over 20 years as a professional elk hunting guide and archer).

The combo is AMAZING. Full pass thru on my elk this fall and went thru rib bones on both sides! Tracking was easy, as the BHs actually rotate as they cut hide & bone. Plus it was a double lung shot, so pleanty of blood trail to follow. Only went about 40yards and then rolled down a steep hill another 30 to 40 yards before coming to rest against a large blown down tree trunk. Also, the extra FOC with these shafts and BHs makes my arrows much more accurate. Shoot just like field points and groups are tighter than competitors 125gr two blade BHs.

I have a cudebach capture. It's not the best out there. I have issues with it. I have Moultrie D55ir,not that great. I have two Moultrie I35 cameras, good day pictures, very poor night pictures. Moultrie said it was to cold for the batteries ( 16 degrees) B.S. My moultrie D50 had issues, they told me they weren't to proud of that camera. I am stuck with it.. I have an older Moultrie, with flash, still works quite well.I have a older Stealth that works ok. And now I have a WildGame, I think it is D8. I love the day and night pictures it takes. All these cameras should be priced less than what we pay for them. I am going to research a camera before I ever buy another one if I ever do. Just thought I would put my 2 cents worth in.
