Kids will never forget that trip. We got back to dons place just as the morning sky was getting pink. Slept a couple hours. Then started in on the fish.

Yup.

Yeah, and honestly that bow is miserable to shoot. Absolutely miserable. But, it kills things. You gain here, you lose there.

My experiences with shwacker have been flawless. I’ve killed 3 deer and 2 elk. Nothing made a 100 yards. Only 2 were not pass throughs, one a hard quartering to shot on a bull, which I aimed for the liver as the lungs were covered by shoulder. Arrow was lodged in the paunch, probably 8 inches of fletching sticking out of the bull. I cut his liver in half, he went nowhere. (Other bull was a 50 yards shot, pass through, arrow went another 10-15 yards before it stopped. ) One deer did not pass through, it was hard quartering away. I shot him in front of his back leg, arrow was buried in opposite shoulder. He went less than 50. other deer were pass through as far as I can remember. of course I try not to hit the shoulder unless it’s a white tail. my bow is probably 320-325 FPS set up to hunt. It is flat and fast. One day I will hunt with a recurve. Till then, I need every advantage. just my opinion, but I can’t find a reason to shoot a fixed blade. I don’t think the shwacker would break an elk shoulder. But not sure how a fixed blade would do, either. I hit a muley a few years back low on the shoulder with a ulmer edge, did not kill him. A week later he wasn’t even limping.

Wow. Congrats to your buddy. 🦌

It’s hard for me to imagine why anyone would want to shoot a fixed blade broadhead unless you’re shooting low poundage. I’d look at sevr or shwacker. You can eliminate all these tuning problems by just shooting a well designed mechanical. You still have to shoot a tuned bow, but it’s a lot less finicky. accuracy is everything. Shoot the mechanical and put it in the lungs. I don’t see any advantage to a fixed blade.

My son landed the biggest fish ever landed on don’s boat. That carp was over 13 pounds.

Call don for pricing, but I felt it was very reasonable.

Yes.

I had the venom, but it broke when I dropped the gun. Vortex replaced it for free, but I sold it. I didn’t like the whole on-off system on the vortex, it was pretty archaic, and the housing was lame. Holosun has shake awake, solar backup, beefy housing. Love it. I haven’t seen the Burris. But the shake awake and auto off on the holosun are gold. In other words, when you pick it up, it’s on, and when you set it down, it shuts off.

Can you re-thread the cleaning jag by putting the ramrod down the barrel and spinning it?

I bought some in payson a few days ago. What optic did you go with on the osp? I put the holosun on mine. Love it.

heres the link. I like this guys honesty.

Don’t by a dodge. Dodge is the worst vehicle company in the us right now. Unless you’re looking for a cumins, I’d move on. Just my opinion, which is generally reflected by resale values. Ever tow a heavy trailer with a dodge? I have, it’s flat out embarrassing. follow Scotty Kilmer on YouTube for the most honest vehicle reviews out there. if you’re looking for a gas vehicle, go Toyota or go home.

Nailed this Gila on a fly. It’s nice having the highway closed, you can actually fish.
