I like those quiklok holders.. I put one on my widow.
Will put one on my new widow when they finish building it.

I heard Snyder say to take a basterd file on the clamp of your fletching jig on both ends to flatten it out so the trad vanes will glue on easier. Says it works for longer feathers also with more helical fletch.
That is with the bitzenberger jig though not sure what you use.
How is that elevated rest working for you so far?Tis the season for new things. I have been wanting to try an elevated rest, also. Once I got this on and bumped up my thread nocking points, I was able to send some down range.
I've been very impressed. Arrow flight has been great. It seemed to take 5 or 6 groups to get used to it, get comfortable with it. Arrows have been flying really well ever since.
I like it. Arrows are flying great, I have no complaints. I'm curious to see how long they will last, but they are so cheap and easy to use I'm glad I made the switch.
I have one in my tackle box just never tried it...I did hear Tom Clum and Aron Snyder talk about elevated rests on a few podcasts saying they do help alot if you get a not so perfect release.
Maybe one day I will try it out on one of my recurves.
I got the Stalker out yesterday. Shooting that bow after shooting the Black Hunter longbow for about 2 weeks makes me really question the weight accuracy on the Black Hunter. I think it's actually heavier than 50lbs. The Stalker is 46lbs, the BH supposedly 50lbs. The Stalker feels like considerably less poundage. My father in law has a scale, I'll test it out maybe later this week.
Anywho, my 40 yard shots at the groundhog target have taught me something very important: if I expect to kill one, get closer. More like 20.

the object of archery is to be able to hit your target as often as possible. the object of bow and arrow hunting is getting as close as possible to your target so you can hit your target more often.
Nothing to hide behind in our back yard. I'd like to be able to reach out and touch Mr. Chuck with a pointy object if he's below our shed.
Not there yet. Hell, last year I had a golden opportunity and got close, maybe 13-14 yards, and whistled a broadhead right over his back. A few days later, it was a more difficult shot of about 25 yards and I skewered him.

Limb design will change the weight feel of each bow. It’s accurate but how it loads on the hand changes
Stuck his ass from 40 on the first attempt last night. Such a satisfying feeling.

The late great Paul Shafer liked shooting off a weather rest with vanes but only because he hunted a lot in Alaska in damp conditions. I'm a shelf and feather guy and out grew hunting in the rain decades ago
