    New Bow or Not?

    Is the extra length of the 33 worth it in terms of added stability over the 30? I tend to fixate on saving every ounce I can. Are the PSE's more stable/shootable or easier/more difficult to tune than say a Mathews Lift or a Hoyt AlphaX (at same length)? Looking for that "last, best" bow that...

    Heat source options for tent camping.

    I hunt CO mountains from 1st rifle thru 4th rifle. In my case, I backpack in and setup camp several miles in and at elevation (9500 ft +). Night-time temps range from 0 - 20 degrees for the most part. There are the occasional -10 degree (or colder) nights but I haven't experienced many of...

    New "2011".....hhhmmm

    Looking forward to your follow-up. I may be one of the lucky ones, I have a Custom Covert 1911 (desert tan motif) and two rifles (308 Classic, 7mm RM Mt Ascent) and all of them have performed flawlessly.

    Tariffs

    Yes, protectionist policies exist on both sides of the fence. I don't dispute that. So the US can either provide direct subsidies (often a dirty word inside and outside of HT) to allow US producers to compete with foreign providers that have net-US negative policies in place or apply import...

    Or maybe something else .... This is an interesting deep dive into one aspect relative to Canada. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6708405

    Tariffs

    Day-to-day impact - not really seeing anything yet. Impact on retirement funds given recent stock market jitters - yeah. Will have to see how things go over the next couple of months though to see if it is long-term or just short-term volatility.

    Move to repeal CO wolf introduction

    True to some point. But priorities shift throughout the year. Doesn't mean there is a lack of care, but perhaps a realignment of priorities to match the angst is needed by some.

    Move to repeal CO wolf introduction

    I can't speak for other hunters/trappers. I just retired so now I do attend Commission meetings and/or State Rep meetings whereas before, I had conflicting commitments related to work. I have to imagine a lot of the hunters/trappers are busy just trying to make a living vs being paid to show...

    Move to repeal CO wolf introduction

    Read through the article - thanks for the link. I found this particular bit amusing: "Miller said that from a biodiversity and big-picture conservation standpoint, bringing wolves back was the right thing to do. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) infections in Wyoming elk have become a concern...

    Colorado SB 25-003 gun ban defunds CPW

    My post - "Duds seems to be "ok" ...." That is putting words in your mouth? I think you need to work on your reading comprehension. That and your penchant to overreact.

    Colorado SB 25-003 gun ban defunds CPW

    By going through CPW, they can partially avoid TABOR (tax-payer bill of rights) constraints/limits as any "fees" paid to CPW are exempt. As noted before, CO is $1.2+ billion in the hole so the House/Senate Finance committees are forcing bill sponsors to find revenue neutral (or better yet...

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    Not saying that. The number of people actually involved with any USG acquisition is very small. Source selection boards/committees are very restricted to avoid potential COI issues. No doubt that Musk and any of his DOGE workers were forced to sign COI notifications and if a procurement...

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    For large rockets, ULA and Blue Origin domestically. Ariane, ILS, Long March, MHI/JAXA internationally. For EV's, just about every car manufacturer.
