Come on, guys, we need a hunting pair, a buddy buddy hunt, come on now. This is a fun field week of chasing javilina. It doesn't get much better than this.

I've lived in georgia all my life.I have no clue what you're asking about.As my clothes do not get torn up hunting in the thickets. I'm not sure what material your clothing is made of but it shouldn't get ripped up in alabama either. Han, and any other clothes that anybody else does.And there's not a problem.

Buckeye, I have firsthand knowledge that someone is going to be making a snuffer type head very soon.

RogerI've had great success since the eighties.With the zwickey delta fixed bleeder deltas. 

I passed through just about everything unless I hit the off.Shoulder or leg bone.

My dear recovery rate averages under thirty yards.Yet with pigs, it averages under forty. Those darn pigs are tough.  :readit:

I found that shot placement is a lot more critical with a single bevel, most of them are small and as said do not leave a blood trail sometimes not at all.

I bought into the hype years ago and found out the hard way that single bevels were not for me. Apparently I'm not a good enough shot for them. I also found that they don't seem to penetrate bone any better than a double bevel.

I switched back to, and should have never switched from Snuffers. Idk how much more penetration a person needs when a snuffer is stuck in the ground after going through a deer. They leave huge blood trails and easy enough to sharpen with a file and stone. Large broadheads are definitely more forgiving on marginal shots. A little harder to tune, but in that case I just use bigger feathers. It is truly sad that snuffers are so hard to find, I wish I'd bought a lifetime supply when they were still being produced.

I've had similar problems.  We don't want to force expensive things to fit together.  However, we can't use them if they won't fit.  In the past, my solution has been to jam the new limbs onto the limb adjustment bolts until they fit using more force than I feel should be necessary.  After the first time, it gets easier.  YMMV, of course.

Hey everyone just wanted to share I was lucky enough to harvest my first deer with a trad bow this morning!
45 lb galaxy sage, black eagle 600's with VPA 200gr.
I've been lurking here for a while and finally made the choice to put my crossbow away for good a few weeks ago.

PowWow / ILF woes
Last post by Jock Whisky - November 12, 2025, 07:39:35 PM
I received an ILF setup today and when I attempted to assemble the limbs to the riser they wouldn't fit and I had a hell of a time getting them separated. Turns out there is one of two problems. Either the limb adjustment bolt is a smidge too fat or the U shaped notch at the base of the limb is a smidge too small. The limb was binding on the adjustment bolt. In addition the fit was so tight the limb wouldn't slide in far enuf for the springy pin to seat in the little divot.

I don't want to turn the bolt down a few thou so the alternative is to lightly sand the U shaped notch a little to allow it to fit on the bolt. Has anyone had this issue and what was your fix?

No expert, but I just purchased western chaps for my niece from RODS in Ohio. Don't know if they'd work or not.
