    Ground blind and broadheads

    No experience with blinds. But for broadheads my 2 cents is stay away from anything that uses (wastes) alot of your limited energy punching a giant entrance hole. IE rages, etc. I would be looking at a small single bevel 2 blade head, possibly a small 3 blade fixed head like the g5 or muzzys...

    Pin distance

    I was impressed by IQs new sight that they just released, the hunter model. It's a horizontal 3 pin that the top 2 pins are fixed and the third is a slider. If I didn't already have a good sight I'd probably pick one of those up

    Boom sticks are cool...but show off your bow!

    I was planning on continuing to use my 2011 bow but my wife suprised me and decided I was getting a new one. Shot this and the mathews phase 4 side by side for a half hour. It's been a very enjoyable experience getting it setup and tuned and shooting it etc. These new bows are so nice!

    Talley lightweights

    I've got talleys on multiple guns. Namely a 50 cal muzzleloader shooting 290gr bullets behind 150 grains of powder and a 7mm rem mag pushing 162gr bullets at almost 3200 fps. Neither scope has budged in either gun in 5 plus years. The days of having to sight in guns before hunting season are a...

    New mobile setup

    Not to mention i think saddles are more comfortable than treestands. Well unless you have a 500 dollar lazy boy ladder stand, but the mobility there is less than stellar. I hunted at a buddy's last year and climbed a tree directly next to the one that he already had a lock on with a metal seat in.

    New mobile setup

    What completely changed hunting public land for me was getting a saddle and sticks. My setup is a Cruzr XC and 4 lone wolf sticks. With no private to hunt currently, public land is buck only during gun. Now with a truly light quick quiet mobile setup I can get up in trees anywhere and have had...

    sight for my 30-30?

    What about a small pistol sized red dot with a 1or maybe 2 moa dot? Would look pretty slick if attached to the top of the receiver like a pistol slide

    Black Gold Pro Hunter HD

    You should check out the new IQ hunter sight. In my mind they've about perfected a hunting sight. It's a three pin slider, the top 2 pins are fixed and only the 3rd slides. I have the 5 pin and don't want to spend any money at the moment but I'd buy it in a second if I needed one. Would be...

    Best Holster when Hunting

    I always like a good leather holster for revolvers and a molded plastic or kydex for semi autos. I personally prefer a chest holster mainly due to carrying owb was majorly scratching up the stock on my nice rifle. But the setup I liked while I was still carrying owb was a owb paddle holster...

    First hand Covid symptoms

    Buzz H I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Without getting political as this site doesn't allow, I'll give you a hint. All the "conspiracy theories" 90+% are true. Almost all genocides are committed by governments, ours is no better. Almost all folks that "died from covid" were actually...

    First hand Covid symptoms

    It's almost 2024.... the virus is pretty smart. It's "coming back" just in the nick of time to help steal the next you know what. Funny. I won't be complying with any of it

    best deer hunting cartridge

    There are also benefits to "more power" alot of the very recoil adverse folks will not mention. A 308 or 243 will kill a deer and a 30-06 or 270 or 7mm rem mag will too. But the latter will do it pushing a bigger higher BC bullet the same speed or lighter bullet faster. Ballistics matter...

    best deer hunting cartridge

    Don't doubt yourself... if you need more oopmh then a 243, buy it. Get a cartridge your confident in the first time. It's no fun regretting a rifle or having to buy another later because it's not what you needed. I can tell you I shoot a 7mm rem mag and the recoil is mild. In my opinion other...

    best deer hunting cartridge

    The 7-08 is the goldilocks round. It has the best available weights for deer size game and much better B.C.s on those same bullets compared to a 30 cal bore. The other mentions are ok too, but I think the 243 is more of a multipurpose varmint round and the Creedmoor is trendy to say the least...

    I need tires, what's the recommendation?

    I ran three sets of Cooper brand Mud terrains on a couple trucks. Got 40-50k miles on all, all wore very evenly. Insanely good traction on and off road, relatively quiet. BTW cooper makes mickey Thompson. Also had a set of cooper at3 all terrains on a f350. Good "adult" tire, decent off road...

    Speed vs bloodshot

    I can definitely see the meat loss bloodshot perspective. I personally like the velocity (7mm rem mag) for the other benefits like flatter trajectory and less wind drift. I have helped minimize meat loss by "hump shooting" whitetails. Essentially placing the round halfway between the top of...

    Prairie Dogs With A Remington Rolling Block

    I really like your gun! Looks like it was a good time shooting. I seen those old rolling blocks on a history channel show once. I'd love to shoot one

    Optimum magnification range on scope for elk rifle?

    A 2-10 or 2-12 if the money's there to buy a nice scope. If on a tighter budget I agree a 2.5-8 or 3-9 or 4-12 is great. I myself lean towards a little lower power scopes, nowadays I lean towards higher zoom ratios with a low end. I have a 5-20 nikon Monarch I bought when I was 18 that is...
