I'll probably give the Ulmer Edge a try as well. Being a newer Mechanical/broadhead it's hard to find a ton of solid information to back them up. The things I like about this broadhead -Field point accuracy to 100 yds -Apply set screw to broadhead and use for practice -Can hit at an angle without deflection because blade swivels. -2 Blades swivel around bones (ribs) to help penetration -1 1/2" cutting diameter, seems perfect -2 blades lock on contact (turns into broadhead on contact). Blades won't unlock (close) after contact -Blades are sharp on backside, to continue cutting if arrow were to fall out -Solid broadhead tip for bone What I wish this broadhead had -3 or 4 blades -Unsure about blades swivel and not swiveling back out because of meat, fur, bone causing blade not to swivel back out. This could possibly turn this broahead into a one blade after contact with bone. Overall it seems like a great broadhead besides a couple concerns. Can anyone who has used the Ulmer Edge give additional information. i just killed a deer in january with one. it was a 24 yard shot, and the broadhead was sunken 4 inches into a rotten ponderosa pine tree after the clean pass thru. The broadhead still appears to be usable. i found true field point accuracy. i made absolutely no tuning adjustments, and shot money. The blades deployed flawlessly, and lock open. They cannot get stuck inside the ferrule, because the hinge action forces the blade to swing back out after contact with bone. the kid who works for me just killed a bull last september with the ulmer edge at 74 yards. He shot a double lung and the broadhead was lodged in a rib on the opposite side. bull went down fast. hope that helps.

think i'm going with ulmer edges. just screw 'em on and hunt, no foolin' around with tuning. also, safety is the biggest issue. blades are completely encosed, so, to me, it seems safer. less chance of lacerating myself 10 miles from cell signal.

congrats bro!

okefenokee...... yeah, i wouldn't trust 'em either.

i did not see the show, but would like to, just for kicks. the only problem i have with canned hunts is the greed it brings out in the sport. people are willing to pay to place themselves higher in the record books. and lie about it. but other than that, there's no wrong way to kill and grill an animal. stick it in a fence if that's your thing, i think i'll get mine the old fashioned way.

i think i'd trade it for a springfield.

alaska or canada hunt/fish combo trip. lifetime of memories. plus, you get to go, too!

wish i wasn't so skinny at the moment.

ok, here is one of the better ax review vids. there's others on there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJlQH93Vx9c wranglerstar has a lot of good videos on axes. i wouldn't get a fiskars, and i break my fiberglass handle on my splitting ax every year. one of these days i'm gonna spring for a real ax. there's a couple of good companies out there that make a decent ax. I've heard good things about stihl axes. they may be next on my list.

lol...tell your kid bro if he can't afford a ring, he can't afford a girl.

that shot used to be considered taboo, but i've seen many vids recently of that shot and similar results. congrats to the hunter.

i'm still tryin' to figure out why on earth anyone would want to stock up on .22. imho, the stuff is worthless. "hey, the chinese are coming....now let me reach for my trusty 22 and save America!!!" really?

you're getting close. let us know how it turns out. there's lots of ways to beat this if you know the law, and courtroom procedure.

I thought those cameras in Star Valley were inoperative. Not the case? ain't a day goes by i don't see them suckers go off. keep flyin' through there, and help keep my taxes low.

it's been done a few times in star valley. last i read where someone won, they argued that the city prosecutor could not also be a witness against you, as this was a conflict of interest. court ruled that was true, and threw it out. i'm not sure what or if the city has changed on that, but now the prosecutor cannot be a witness against you.

woot! i have the same gun. love it! just had a trigger job, brake, bed and free float by matt mclearn of m2i custom tactical. now it's a shooter!

hey, if they're just gonna get slaughtered anyways, can i slaughter one?

but officer, didn't you see that thread on CWT....it said it was ok!!!

There's a lot of days when i'd welcome the company. I love hunting, and I want to see others succeed as well as me. That said, i think it's rude and uncalled for to shoot an animal, or stalk an animal that someone else is on.

not mine!

any reviews on an spring field emp? i'd love to hear what you have to say if someone has one. best looking idea i've seen in an auto

after my first missions trip to africa, i now eat anything. Someone's throwing some fries away at burger king, and i'm like, hey, can i have that? dragging mre's half way around the world will be a chore. I would brave the local fare and give the mre's to the kids. You'll lose weight, trust me. But they do have coke in a bottle. i'd worry more about malaria and preaching Jesus. Good luck.

i took my wife hunting once....we were puddle jumping ducks. we finally hit a tank with a duck on it, and i jumped him, raised my shotgun, and my wife started crying and begging me not to shoot it. It flew 20 feet right over my head as i lowered my shotgun and asked why not. She said, cuz it is all by itself, and i don't want you to kill it. Last time she ever went hunting with me. That said, i have been putting her in for elk lately, so she's gonna go if i have to drag her out there, lol. Getting her out of the mall and into the woods has been a real chore for me, but i'm still working on it. Don't get me wrong, i completely understand guys who leave their wives at home for a little guy time. I have no prob with that at all. But sometimes i'd like to have her along, but she won't stand for it. My sister, however, still has the biggest buck in out immediate family.

sweet!
