What's the carbon barrel on in the back? We just built an all-carbon 6.5PRC on a Mack Bros Element receiver for a client. MDT carbon chassis & furniture, Proof carbon pre-fit and a Triggertech Special single-stage. Came in at 8lbs 1oz "wet". I'd never given carbon much thought prior.
 
That is the first carbon barreled rifle I bought before going custom. It’s a savage ultrlite in 6.5prc. Tack driver albeit I needed to replace the accutrigger

I've been a lifelong hunter but never got into archery and don't know anyone personally that is. I'm looking to get into it does anyone have any reccomendations on a good compound bow to start. I've watched reviews on YouTube and such and they are all over the place. I also know it's challenging so I'd enjoy that aspect and learning would also love to get my son into it as well with me.

Most people cannot tell a huge difference. You need to decide what is important to you. Cost of ownership? Do you like to tune your own stuff? Do you just want to get in cheap?

Mathews probably has the largest market share at the moment. Bowtech and Hoyt are next. PSE should be up there but they’ve always had something that holds them back.

For the easy button, just go to a bow shop, pick one that you like to shoot, and ask the shop to set it up.

There is a good shop locally that a lot of guys share by so I may swing by there soon and just shoot some and see what feels good. What draw weight do you guys run and reccomend I'm assuming this varies alot from person to person

Any of you 1911 lovers baller enough to own one from Cabot Guns? They are a few miles away from me and they make some of the sickest 1911’s (especially the special editions) I’ve ever seen. Also will make you pretty much anything you can dream up custom wise. Some day. Some day. 🤤

I am not a fan of the looks but have no doubt they are a precision machine. I do like that you can get a left and right eject matching set made. I would need them to not do the star cutouts in the Triggers and such. Take a look at Volkmann Precision some time. Luke makes some fine artillery.

If you have never shot a bow, set it at 45-50 lbs and shoot that for a month before you step up. I’ve seen professional body builders not be able to draw a bow. It requires muscles people don’t use normally. Start low and work your way up. If you experience ANY soreness, stop and wait for your muscles to heal. If you rip your shoulder cuff, you are done for good unless you are young. Most people can kill a lot of stuff at 60lbs. Some people shoot more for the heck of it. I shoot super heavy arrows at 83lbs but it’s not because I need to.

When you get to the shop, tell them you have never shot and don’t let them tell you you can do 60-70 right off the bat. Tell them to turn the limbs down. You can rip your shoulder and not know it so take it slow and easy up front.

As a newbie to bows, I concur with the 45-50#. I started with a 65# recurve and while I can pull it relatively easy, I still bought some 45# limbs so I can get more shots in a go. The 65# wears you out really quickly, especially on a traditional bow

Why not both? Beater/parts bin 10.5 I keep in the back of my shop for anyone that might get a little too curious. The upper was retired from one of our R&D projects where it saw a LOT of full auto.

It’s in condition 3 if anyone notices the safety selector. This is a backup to the suppressed SBS below it. That one stays in condition 1.

I live rurally and don’t expect any trouble but I do keep a Springfield service .45 ACP in my shop for anyone that wonders outta the woods with bad intentions.

Better safe than sorry, right? YOU are the first responder. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
 
Above mentioned R&D testing…

The camera glitching from the concussion of a 10.5 5.56 with a dual port brake from 20' away is cracking me up.
