Best advice you have recieved on Tradgang

[John Krause]

What's the best advice you have received on this forum? Hunting, bow set up, arrows, hunt advice scouting, shooting etc.

What is the best that made you better or turned on the light?

[threeunder]

That's tough.  I guess the thing that has helped me the most is reading all the posts I can find about form.

"one" Shot shooting session. As real as advice comes.

[Bruinbow]

I have experimented with arrow shelf material for about 4 mo. and I have even asked the Trad Gang what they preferred and the most common answer was Velcro . Well I haven't found a thing that can beat it but as far as the price it can't be beat . Thanks Trad Gangers .

[LoneWolf73]

Also appreciate the ELK threads like Fitness, DIY Hunts, Gear Lists, Elk Tips. I have learned alot and DIY is fairly easy.............until your sucking air thru a straw in the Mountains. LOL.

Bruinbow ever try Beaver tail as a rest? Works great on my Cari-bow Silver Fox.

Stay away from the Bow classified forum....lol

God bless,Mudd

Sloooowwww down on my shots! Seems shooting to fast can become a horrible habit but since slowing down my shots, my shooting has improved greatly.
Thanks to those who are wiser than I !!!!

If you want to try some different bows check out the classifieds!!! I think my wife would have a different answer......

Seriously - I have got a ton of great advice BUT Joel Turner's suggestion to call him to teach me how to use a physcotrigger and mantra has COMPLETELY changed my shooting ability. Thanks CLICKERMAN!

A while back I started a thread in the collecting/history section about 1960 Bear Kodiaks...Wade Phillips came out to play and I learned an awful lot about those bows in a big hurry...I think there were well over an hundred posts on that thread and I think we advanced the knowledge base considerably...just wish I could find that thread again

If you are going to go trad go 100% or nothing.  I have not touched a compound in over a 15 months and shot 2 deer my first year with my Grizzly.

"STOP BUYING SO MANY BOWS CHUCK!!!"       haha, actually just the opposite, we're all a bunch of textbook 'enablers' around here!

Gotten some great advice on shooting.  This place is hours and hours of reading enjoyment.  My favorite site on the web bar none, hence my high post count in less than a year.  My post count doesn't even scratch the amount that I've read and learned...and of course shopped!  Hey my logic is at least its not clothes or shoes          

In all seriousness the tips and knowledge on this site have led me from initially sitting in a stand seeing nothing to hunting on the move and actually spotting game almost every time I go out in recent memory.  That in itself is priceless.

I have learned tons here, but would have to say that rotational draw and shooting form refinement top my list.

[bretto]

Always stand up wind of KsBowman!!!

[halfseminole]

Simply learning what a proper draw looks like.  Us mountain boys sometimes just go with whatever we figure out, but to see a proper one up close (even in a picture) was like a light turning on in my head.

I learned a lot about bareshafting here on TG.  

Another big one was when someone posted that the best way to find arrows lost in the grass in the backyard is to take off your shoes and socks and feel for them with your bare feet.  That one has saved me a lot of time and frustration!

[TRAP]

It's a toss up between 2 suggestions I received from fellow TG members.

First one, "don't get started collecting broadheads".  I didn't listen, and now, 500 broadheads later.....

Second one, the real bowdoc told me if I could find a way to skive the front edge of my feather rests they'd sell. I did and now I can't make them fast enough. Lol

Get help from Rod Jenkins. Go to his clinic.

[Alexander Traditional]

The best ways to open up nocks. With boiling water or filing them a little. It seems so simple,but I don't know if I ever would have thought of it on my own.

[Zradix]

KEEP IT SIMPLE
