what did they cost?

The Strother look to be a good bow in the making....they have multiple bows in the 31-33 axle length. Elite Archery also has some sweet bows.... I would encourage one to shoot as many bows they can...its a big purchase make it count.

My Swaro 15's were knocked out of alignment last year on my deer hunt when my tripod blew over. They were repaired free of charge and returned within 10 days. Mine had more than alignment problem, the lens was scratched. Redman

Tripod adapter was the reason I selected the Swaros in the 15x. However, I have been looking for a 8x or 10x power and prefer the Zeiss over Swaros, I like that they have a transferable lifetime warranty and pretty much every review I have read on the 8 or 10 x favor Zeiss T FL and Lecia over Swaro. I have had to send my Swaro for service twice (my fault...falls)...they did not charge me a crazy amount each time (about $200) but still thats $200 when Zeiss, Lecia, Nikon, even crappy Pentax could have done for free.

quite is best...look at the Kipor if you want to save some $$ off the Honda...

Hey Wackycouesaddict, Keep doing what your doing and don't worry about what other people think. I will offer some advice and PLEASE don't take this the wrong way, but Google has a tool bar that has spell checker that checks your spelling for you as you type (when something is typed that is not spelled correctly it will underline it red. Right click on the red underlined word and it will offer a few words spelled correctly. Click on the word that was intended and it will change it for you). This will only help you (not just posting on the internet but improve your writing skills, which are so valuable in life). Also, keep in mind 90% of individuals on CWT have already been 17......some are a bit more grumpy than a 17 year old! Redman

That's awesome...I need to learn how to fish

This post makes a lot more sense considering the tragedy suffered by Ronald Ryan.....I went back an read through and wonder if the people who thought hunting in Mexico was no risk have changed their minds.... Redman

Looks like the advice given on CWT did some good (throw the tickets in the trash)....MAN I LOVE JAN BREWER..... She's got my vote! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100507/ap_on_...a_speed_cameras Redman

Lets see if I can help with your confusion...... it's a hunting website with a discussion forum. Within the discussion forum there are different topics that can be discussed..... Within your topic there is a political bias..... (it's a real big problem.....it will not fix immigration when it goes into law.....those are political statements... ) if you don't want to read political topics then don't open them and don't make political statements.... but the truth is any statement can be made political (just as I did)....

Just ask John Edwards or his illegitimate kid how credible the Inquirer is...... they single handedly kept that ambulance chaser from becoming president....

Can we get some close up pics of the broadhead? Like the idea, how much different is it from the Swhacker? Redman

YES!!!!! FINALLY SOMETHING IS BEING DONE TO HELP US!

Hey Grumpy.....don't know how you picked your CWT user name....sure looks like you were having a great time and your girls look even happier. Redman

Have you tried to use "walk back" tuning? Sometimes at longer ranges this tuning can be helpful? Redman

Take at look at AT, daily there are rests (used) for sale that are 1/3 of retail there are some QAP, Ripcords, etc going to $30....I have seen new ones listed for $75.... http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=102

I currently have the Trophy Ridge Drop Zone and have had it for almost two years. I have had zero problems with it. However one of the great things (i.e. great chance to spend money on something I don't need) with archery is the notion to change or tinker......with that being said I have been looking at the Limb Driver rest and have contemplated changing...I like how it does not use the string or cable for action (attaches to the limbs). http://www.vaportrailarchery.com/limbDriver.asp Redman

The republican party ( as you cannot call it the conservative party after the previous 8 years of unchecked spending) is the one that needs a good slugging for putting John McCain and Sarah Palin as the party's nomination.....you betcha! We can only hope and pray that the republication party is not dumb enough to nominate Palin 2012..... Redman

There is no need, however if someone is asking for suggestions and is just getting set up, it may as well be close to specification as it should, it will make tuning a bow much easier. The manufactures wouldn't produce difference spines if it did not make a difference.... I can remember the first animal I killed with a bow....my bow was probably 2 inches too long in draw length, my arrows were bought on clearance based on price not what was correct and my broadheads were taken from my father in laws archery box....that setup killed it dead as dead....but could have been disastrous .... Redman

I love this, I hope its passes as is! I need to schedule a few days off from work!

Are you talking about McCain? Sure sounds like it..... Redman

Hey Derek I am replying to your reply just as an FYI...... you have stated your setup works great for you...... But I believe with that setup the 200 pros would be a better spined arrow, the 300's are stiffer arrow and your draw weight is a little light for the 300. Take a look at the PSE spine chart. Plus since I have almost the exact setup and entered the bow specs into the Archer's Advantage program, it also lists the 200 as the optimum arrow. The 200's will weight about 29 grains lighter.... Redman

Generally speaking (in my opinion from the countless hours I have read on this same topic) its best to target a 400-450 grain arrow for elk. However, the spine an arrow will greatly affect the angle of flight and penetration. Like said in previous replies, shot placement is the most important factor to consider. A few pounds either way can make an arrow too stiff or too weak thus affecting flight. Now with that said, I shoot a PSE X Force, 28 draw and I have two setups. One for elk and one for deer. My arrows are cut to 27.5, Blazers vanes and I use a WacEm 3 blade 100 grain broadhead. My preferred elk arrow is a Easton FMJ 340, I crank up my draw weight to 72-73 lbs to be properly spined. This setup weighs in at 434 grains and at 265 ish FPS. FOC is 9 which is a little low. I killed on bull with a complete pass through with this setup. My deer arrow is a PSE Radial X Weave 200. I crank my bow down to 63-64 pounds and it has a speed of 286 ish FPS. FOC is 11.4 with this setup I have killed one cow and one elk, both did the trick, but did not get complete pass through, after tracking a bull for 12 hours, I went to a heavier arrow..... What is your current arrow shaft length, tip weight, draw weight, and bow speed . I can enter the data into the Archer's Advantage program and it will suggest the optimum arrows (ranging in all different manufactures and weights).. Redman
