I have a dog named Boone. Years ago my buddies kid asked me what his middle name was in front of a fair number of people. I spit out “poon” in a moment of wiseassery. He’s been Boone Tang to everyone since that day
Good luck lining that up! Don’t mean to come off like a jerk, but I can’t even imagine what it would take to line that up on a rifle stock. I’d personally be hard pressed to do that on a 2x4 with a drill press🤣.
Just a thought here. Is it possible that you hit some metal inside the stock, which caused that bit to break? Food for thought if you’re drilling another hole.
I would certainly try this first. Keys being lots of release agent everywhere you don’t want the jb weld forever. Get the 24 hour stuff and let it set up properly. Lastly, I’d probably use something larger than the broken shank of the drill bit.
If you have access to a welder, the suggestion...
They’re all pretty impressive these days. Hard to pick one over the other. If weight is any factor, Suzukis are usually the lightest. I believe the newest Mercurys will be the quietest (by a very narrow margin). Honda and Yamaha have the longest track record with four strokes.
Elk. One pass through a course grind. Lightly form into a large, thick patty. S,P,G and smoked paprika. Half stick of butter in a cast, then med to med-high heat (for not very long). Sure doesn't hurt to ladle the butter over top as it cooks.
Zero degree bag or quilt, insulated pad, and an enclosed shelter is my preference. Easy to get cooler with the gear you’ve brought. Tough to get warmer. I like a shelter that I can sit up and move around in to ride out a storm if necessary. Pretty easy to come in sub 2lbs on each of those items...
I’d full length resize that lot. I keep plastic ammo boxes labeled for each of our rifles. Brass goes right back in said box. That way I can just resize necks on those. If I get a pile of brass I’ll just note which rifle on a ziplock.
Not much with the right amount of planning and communication. Lots more hikes with a progressively heavier pack (get a good “kid carrier”). After they’re out of the infant stage, just bring them along and adjust your expectations on certain hunts.
