  1. Are all the broad heads 125 grain or is it different depending on what you are shooting? I just bought a crossbow but it doesn't say what grain the tips are I am practicing with

    No, broadheads come in different weights. 100 grain, most popular, then 125, and there are a few that are 150 + grains in case you don't have enough weight up front. Crossbow arrows (bolts) need to be front heavy for accuracy. Most have 110 grain, or 90 grain inserts to achieve this. So best way is to weigh them to find out.

  2. I would do some research, and go shoot as many as you can. I have had many crossbows. Wouldn't touch a Barnett, but they sell more than any other, why? They are in every chain store in America. Poor customer service, nightmare breakage stories, overall construction, ect. I do know that there are going to be some great deals on discontinued Stryker models that are rock solid. Darton, Tenpoint/Horton, Stryker, Excalibur (recurve), Mission are some of the ones you will want to try out.

  3. I've been using a 35mm camera flash for years to light up salmon spoons. They now repackage these flashes as separate products and various companies have been selling them. Here is one example: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Luhr-Jensen-reg-Power-Flash/1353578.uts?productVariantId=1321075&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=10019673&rid=20&gclid=CLT-4ICV884CFQyUaQodhOYGCw&gclsrc=aw.ds

    I'd also like to try the UV flashlight. Didn't know they work so well!

    I did use the 35mm flash, had 2 cause they take a few seconds between flashes, really bright. The UV Cree LED flashlights don't cause night blindness.,and the glow lasts longer. Once you use one you will throw the flash in the trash. Super good for glow blue and purple which take longer to charge.

  4. Here is a video of the St. Peter wreck. It is a chain from the bottom to the top. The buoy is about 3/4 the size of a 100lb propane tank. Look at all the dipsys, dodgers, snubbers, flys and downrigger cable on that chain.

    Cool video, but really only one Dipsey with Flasher fly that I saw, if you run that over trolling, you arent paying attention. Probably why there isn't more or divers take them.
