  1. If a bow is properly tuned and timed and rest is set at actual center shot and timed the next thing to affect broadheads is either spine or grip. Some bows shoot different broadheads better than others just like guns like certain rounds vs others. In my limited experience of the thousands of bows I've tuned and hunters I've helped set up I have yet to see a properly tuned bow and rest set up with the proper spine arrow not shoot a broadhead well. But taking the bow out of center to make it shoot "correctly" makes little to no sense. You can if absolutely necessary tune it through the yolk or the grip unless there's a medical condition that the can't hold a bow properly.

    No doubt and I am not questioning your "limited experience" But I think you would agree, his bow is NOT properly tuned if field tips and broadheads are not hitting in the same place. Part of tuning, as again you know, is making sure the rest is launching both a field tip and a broadhead in the exact same direction. Clearly it is not. There is a lot of leeway in a field tip. If his bows timing is correct, I would move the rest. Again this is recommended by G5. I am quite certain they have quite a bit more "limited experience" than you and I together. By moving the site, the broadheads will hit bullseye but the field points will not. Again, that is not a properly tuned now.

  2. I shoot slick tricks as well. Perhaps i missed something, but You are tuning wrong. if you are shooting 1" low with broad heads, you do not change your sight, you raise your rest to tune the broad head. The small movement of the rest will change the flight of the broad head but not of the field tip. This will bring your impact point of you broad heads right to you field tips. It is actually very easy to tune fixed broad heads as long as your bow is tuned.

  3. My best friend lives in rural Idaho and raises grass fed and grass finished beef. It's more than 6 bucks per pound but the flavor is incredible. If interested, PM me. Grass finished costs more because it takes an extra year to finish them compared to grain finished. A lot healthier but doesn't have the marbling like a grain finished animal.....


  4. Another reason I don't do "doggy doors." Stuff comes in you don't want in.

    we still have a doggy door but our dogs have to wear a transmitter (like a thick quarter) on their collar. When they walk up to the door, it opens for them and closes behind them. Wasn't cheap but worth it for where I live

  5. More crying tonight, panty wetting.

    Goodness knows a fire starter ain't all that important, lay it down any ol place.

    seriously wtf? How can you lose that? He wanted to go home. He looked for 2 hours? Nice commitment

  6. Here is one I took out last week. 16-17 rattles. It was over 5' long. Tried to get it to leave my job site but was pretty stubborn. I'll post pics of body soon. I will kill on site and not feel bad at all. Had one come in our dog door two years ago and had to shoot it in my dining room.
