Make sure you adjust the parrallax out of your scope before shooting. You will need to adjust it whe you change distances. As in from 400 yards to 500 yards. Properly install a scope level so you don't cant your rifle. I would research articles on form and technique here on this...

The sectional density of the bullet is a part or the formula used to calculate the bullets B.C. / ballistc coefficients. Something like the ratio of the bullets sectional density to its form factor

I picture energy vs size of game as a guidline that has merrit. I think there are many factors that come into effect such as your preferred shot placement and bullet design. I have seen charts here or there that give a suggestion of the energy needed for different sizes of game animals...

If your fixed blad broad heads are changing the POI then something is off and probably more than just one thing. Timing, cam lean, knock point not correct height, arrow rest could need tweaking, arrow splin needs to be a little more or little less. Best to take your set up to someone...

I agree 100%

I agree with you. I went from using luminocks to nockturnals and was hitting pretty close to the same POI that my regular arrows do. Even better is that the nockturnals hardly ever fail to light and stay lit. Only when the nockturnal is filled with blood and the blood is not flushed...

I appreciate your suggestions and I do agree that those things could also be potential factors if I had hunted their before and was doing all my hunting above ground level. The actual problem and culprit for the ducking was quiet apparent and noticeable to me at the times of the incidents...

I've been bow hunting as long as I have been a long range riflemen, which has been over 8 years now. I have never had a deer duck me until this year and I've had 2 completely duck me and spined one. My arrow speed is 290 and my bow is pretty darn quiet. I've changed my set up this past...

Cheap Winchester 90 grain positive expanding points is what my browsing a bolt liked the best back when I had it years ago. Had a buddy that had a ruger. M77 and hid did really well with hornadys. I don't recall what grain though and that was well before these superformance loads the...

That sounds like it would be good for human consumption. I'm up in a tree bow hunting and have only had one meal the entire day. You made me hungry lol If you can get it to hold together I bet you would have yourself a pretty tasty block for them.

It should come with a small round approximately 3.5 foot long joint if galvanized pipe. It will be about 3/4 inch od. My tube come with 3 small round indentions in the tube which are used to identify where the screens go. One on each end and one in the middle. The rod will have a...

+ 1 on the Berger VLD hunting bullet. the jacket is said to be thicker on the target VLD bullets which wouldn't allow them to "blow up" like the VLD hunting bullets do.

I have all but quite chasing the pigs the way I was. All the fields were plowed under a couple Weeks ago. There are still some pigs that come to the plowed fields every night but nothing like they were. When the wheat has a good start they will probably start coming back more and more...

That's a good question. I resharpening them with a diamond stone but have tried lots of different sharpening tools and can't ever get them sharp enough to shave like I would like. I've even used the G5 sharpening tool and had better results with a diamond stone. I continue to try new...

I have an RCBS hand priming tool that I've grown accustom to using instead of my rock chucker. I had the same issue not long ago with all my 338 Lapua brass. I simply put the shell in the rock chucker and finished pushing the primers in. I don't have to push unusually hard or anything...
