Congrats! That's a trip I would like to do!

    

The TimberGhost TGX is a premier bow...Have owned three versions of the TimberGhost and was quite pleased throughout the progression. The TGX is my preferred model and has proven itself numerous times in the field. The TimberGhost was the 1st shorter bow that I could mark consistently at 50 yards. In my opinion, the grip is the primary feature on any bow. Ken has done an excellent job with the TimberGhost grip.

I have and like my bear paw black glove but I need something with alittle more finger protection. I'm getting great arrow flight and clean release but I need alittle more protection. I enjoy shooting a tab but I get some scratching on my face from a tab. Even have tried shortening the tab to help eleviate the problem but I guess it's the way I anchor. I have searching gloves and suggestions from the gang but figured I would ask. Does the duraglove offer more protection than the bear paw black glove?
Thank for the help

That's a very stiff arrow for your bow.  A .400 deflection is about a 78# spine. Start by leaving them full length and go with the 200 and 300 grain points.  Even that may not be enough.  Another option is to use a heavier insert, for example 50,75 or 100 grains, and experiment with point weight from there. It's possible to make 400s work, but they'll be on the physically heavier side.

Try to find someone who knows a little bit about shooting and tuning trad bows for assistance. It will shorten your learning curve immensely. Shooting as well as tuning, for you won't be able to tune until you develop consistent form. 

Google search Archery paper tuning. It is nothing more than shooting an arrow through paper that is attached to a frame, roughly shoulder height, set 3 to 4 feet in front of your target so that the arrow clears the paper before hitting the target. Newspaper attached to a cardboard box with both ends open is sufficient. Fletching tears to the right indicate a stiff spine, tears to the left show a weak spine. Easy to do, no $ involved.

Happy birthday!

There's a tutorial in the DYI section on this site on making a jig for footing shafts. Otherwise there is a jig available from 3Rivers but it's a $100.

I met a guy at a trailhead on an elk hunt once. He was having a drink of homemade moonshine and offered me a taste.

I was expecting something nasty, but it was great. Wish I could get a bottle of that stuff.

Happy birthday Ken! Enjoy your moonshine!

Happy Birthday, sip it slow.
