    Excellence

    "Forming a Battle Plan" by Brian Barney, EBJ 71, is an exemplary piece of journalism and a breathe of fresh air for EBJ. The article is well thought out, free of glaring gramatical errors, and pertinant to green and veteran bowhunters alike. I hope to see more of this type of work come from EBJ...

    What glue is the best for fletching on wraps? Also what are the advantages and disadvantages of overlap? I have been experimenting and just had some wrapped arrows that had no overlap, using NPV glue, only last for about 150 shots. The wrap peeled back from the seam, at the fletching. I fletched...

    Wac'em broadheads

    So I picked up some Wacem trikon broadheads last night. When I assembled and mounted it to my arrow my first impression was like these seem cute. As in small and cute. So I decided to break out the caliper. The package says 1 1/32" cutting diameter. 1/32" says to me that they are just barely...

    QAD Exodus

    What do ya all think of the QAD Exodus broadhead? It is touted to fly like a field point. The video of it being repeatedly shot through a steel 55 gal drum shows it is tough. Not overpriced. 1-1/4" cutting diameter. Low profile, compact design seems like it would have a low drag coeficient...

    ++1 for S&S Archery

    I have had business with so many small, outdoor gear shops in my life. Steve Speck at S&S Archery is absolutely top shelf. His service and fairness is unmatched in my 25 years of purchasing outdoor equipment. I strongly recomend S&S Archery for anyone looking for new equipment.

    Eberlestock J34 for sale or trade

    I made a big mistake and bought the Eberlestock J34, Just One. I thought it would suffice for my needs. I just spent 4 days in the backcountry and I need the Blue Widow. This pack rode nice with 60 pounds, I just could not fit all my stuff. If anyone made the mistake I did and bought the Blue...

    Terrain Terms

    As a mountaineer and a climber I would call a spire a "spire", or a "tower". A cliff of moderate size, 50'-400', with no defined summit is a crag. Cliffs larger than that are called "walls", or "big walls". Many of the cliffs on the hike up to the Grand Teton are called crags in the climbing...
