Or did the Montec make Dan Chaffin look good?:D:D

I won't argue the point Shtr, you obviously have your own ways. I use Eastons Tuning Guide which says Flight Tuning is done with FP's and Broadhead Tuning is done with both. I'll defer to that everytime.

For what its worth, I recently picked up 2- eTrex Legends at Target for $23/ea on clearance. They seem to work quite welll so far.

Yep!! I do the same minus the paper. But I've seen paper work for many people to disregard it as a tuning tool.

Although it may just be semantics, I don't call BH tuning Flight tuning. To me these are seperate types of tuning. Flight(walkback) tuning is done strictly with FP's whereas BH Tuning uses both FP's and BH's.

For what it's worth, the Oklahoma State Broadhead 3D Tournament was won with a Montec the last 2 yrs running.

This isn't even a fair comparison really. The Maximas are much tighter in tolerances and are by far the better arrow as a result.

Check Eastons Tuning guide, it's in there. Some call it "Walkback" Tuning as well.

Tony- I partially agree with you. But as with anything, there's usually more than one way to the desired results. I personally am hunter first and foremost so I KNOW I'm going to Broadhead Tune in the end regardless of which way I begin. For me personally, I'm doing a walk back (Flight tune) during the same time I'm broadhead tuning thus killing two birds with the proverbial one stone. If paper tuning works for you, that's great and no one should dissuade you from that. But I think you yourself willl admit that a lot of times, a perfect tear isn't always going to produce the BEST results. If I was to shoot my setup through paper, I can guarantee I'd get a slight high tear. I've seen this with many a setup and for those that aren't as prolific with tuning, this can get downright frustrating. In the end, I truly believe the best way to learn to tune is by following the Eastons Tuning Guide which by the way, includes both Flight tuning and paper tuning.

That would change your anchor point. I believe Shtr's horizontal line tuning procedure is in error as well. There is no way every bow will have the same poi from 10-20 yards. That portion of tuning should be done with a broadhead test/tune in my opinion. If my bow shoots at 300fps and someone elses shoots at 220fps, I would expect different results from 10-20 yards. I believe he's assuming that all bows will shoot flat out to 20 yards.I do however agree that the windage portion of his procedure is spot on.

I used one for years. I was made to believe they were a "necessity". Then one day my mentor convinced me to try it without and I won't ever have a peep on again for hunting. There are just too many benefits for me without one and really no accuracy issues. It can be argued that going peeples can actually IMPROVE accuracy when you consider thie following. Picture a scope and its reticle. Now with that in mind, replace the verticle portion of the crosshair with the bow string and the horizontal portion with your pin and you have now got a reticle for a bow. The one thing that you have to maintain in order for this to work is a very consistent anchor. If you have one, a peep is not necessary.

I think the answer to that would be: Only if your state feels that way!!

Use this:

Actually I like to think Michael changed cuz he found out I was using them!!:D

A friend oif mine recently pourchased one and loves it. He just added two speed buttons 2.5" away from each cam and picked up 10fps as well.

If rippled vanes is what you consider damaged there's an easy fix. Steam from boiling water can get em right back to where they began originally. I personally would think taking out whiskers from the insert could be detrimental UNLESS you can take out equal amounts all the way around.

You do NOT need your blades to line up with your fletching. There is no difference either way. Buckee gave you the pertinent information. I'd suggest reading it.

Doesn't surprise me at all. You named 4 of the best people in the biz for sure!!

Little kids present little problems. Big kids .........................:D

Heres praying for your safe return to Cheezeland Craig!!

Just a bit of clarification on the MI thing. Baiting has always been legal and was only restricted in the TB zone as far as whethr you can or can't bait. The limits for amount are for the rest of the state and have little to do with CWD which is not a current problem here. There is a addendum in the law pertaining to baiting that says that if any CWD becomes present within 50 miles of a neighboring county of another state, baiting will be suspended period.

I've tried at least 2 dozen rests in my time and the Whisker Biscuit still remains my hunting rest above all others. Just the simplicity of it alone gives you the confidence necessary when releasing your arrow. As for speed loss, you will lose more speed from Cat Whiskers than you will with a WB. Just a great all around hunting rest.

Here's hoping she gets well and has a trip to remember;)

Still amazing really. Just for different reasons.

Nothing more than CAD I'm afraid http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/musicmachine.asp
