Re: How far is to far?

I've made some very long shots myself, but like what's been said, you need to be a practiced shot. There's a big difference between buying the best technology and memorizing ballistic tables and wind drift and spin of the earth and and bullet drift and applying it successfully. There's a big differe...

Re: How I sharpen Montecs

The end piece is an old cermet (ceramic metallic insert) from a milling head. They wear out on the ends and are discarded at the machine shop I work at. The sides are still sharp. I milled a flat (you could grind or file one) on a pice of 1/4" round stock to match the contour of the insert and drill...

Re: Best Fixed Blade for Elk?

So how much are you going to sell them for? There will be a market for these I hope you realize this. You may not make millions, but you may make some spending cash. A new milling insert (I use the old ones that have the two end edges worn out but the sides are good) is about $20.00 and the file ha...

Re: ATV advise

Re: Unwanted help:

Re: Best Fixed Blade for Elk?

Dead is dead, congratulations on your kill, anything taken with a bow is a trophy, and you have meat on the table. I love my Montecs, except for when I have to sharpen them. I cant get them as sharp as I would like. I get them sharp enough to do the job, just not as sharp as I would like to get the...
