6.5 CM as a hunting cartridge... why?
I just like the Tigers hat! -
Seekins PH3 7 Back Country
Appreciate the insight. I think I’ll go with the element, as I will use this gun in many scenarios (treestand, out west, ground blind) -
Seekins PH3 7 Back Country
What made you go with hunter element over the element? The chassis? I’m between one or the other. -
2025 Colorado NR Archery Elk Point Creep
I think most of those otc units will be second choice. Heck, I think there are plenty of people who have no idea about the changes coming. I wouldn’t burn any points right now on a “use to be” otc unit. I’d try for second choice or leftover, you’ll get one. -

Seekins PH3 7 Back Country
I just shot an element 308 yesterday. WOW, is all I have to say. Extremely impressed with that gun. I have a tikka 308 and I like that Seekins better. The stock design is definitely different, but very comfortable. Palm swell is no problem, along with the feel of the stock. I am going to be... -
2025-26 Season plans?
Torn on what to do. I have an open invite to hunt Alberta archery elk with a buddy who lives up there. But I also want to burn my CO deer points on a high country archery hunt. Decisions decisions……- Yooper906

Sig Zulu 6 HDX
I went with the 16s and really don’t have a reason why. I think at the time I thought “16s are more powerful,” but I really have no idea. I still love mine and use them in the whitetail woods with no problem. -

I’m still here. Just been busy in hunting season…….and failure. Opening night had a nice 250lb boar 15-16 yards away. Mind you, this is the distance I’ve been practicing. The only difference is the bear was always moving/laying down/sitting on his butt. I wanted a broadside shot. The bear... -

I concur, have been using them for a year and absolutely love them. Only con, is low light they start tailing off. But I would steer anyone towards these if they are in the market. -

Summer practice has been going well. Still using 35lb limbs, but going to put the 50lb limbs on shortly. Getting more comfortable with my gaps/arrow flight, however it’s all going to change with the hunting limbs. Usually shoot 50-75 arrows a night and have been shooting the club 3D range... -

Figured I would do a blog or a thread (for those interested) on my journey into traditional archery. To start out, I love shooting my bow, I shoot 4-5 times a week and really love the sport of archery. Shooting my bow isn't just practice, it's been therapy for me and lets me block out everything... -
Who's been to Iowa?
I’ve hunted Iowa archery twice. Different experiences from eachother. Granted, both experiences were fun/exciting and I am grateful to be able to hunt the farms we hunt. First year was 2017, unbelievable. It was what you dream of when talking about Iowa. Quality bucks after bucks. I notched my... -
Colorado GMU 54
Big country and steep! Very physically demanding hunt, come prepared! Never hunted first rifle season, only archery. You can get away from people here, due to how vast the landscape is. Some outfitter pressure in the West Elks. We were successful during archery, but had to work for every...
