    Least expensive thumb or hinge release

    Thanks everyone. I think I’ll try to find a good sale and plan on shelling out some cash. Hopefully somewhere with a good refund policy in case I hate it ;) I was trying to look up some anchor methods and everything else. The Wise Choice and many others don’t have any rotating heads like I’m...

    Least expensive thumb or hinge release

    Thanks guys. I have issues with the only archery shop in town. I think they are better than they used to be, but the archery shop I normally go to is about 2.5 hours away. I’m not sure when the next time I can get down there will be. That shop also doesn’t have a range so it would only be a few...

    Least expensive thumb or hinge release

    I’ve been using a trigger release (I think it’s the Scott samurai with webbing between the trigger and wrist wrap) and am pretty good with it. My biggest issue is getting my knuckle to my jaw for an anchor, but then I have to shift from that as I really get my finger set on the trigger. I think...

    Ruger LCR 357

    Quick range report in case anyone is curious. This thing is great with standard 38 special rounds. Using 158gr range ammo, the sight picture is a lollipop at 7 yards and covers the target at 10-12 yards. With the 38, it was no problem keeping all shots on the dinner plate and I’d hit 3/5 on my...

    Selfbow from wind blown trees in Kalispell

    Thank you everyone. If I should split it then dry it, how much should I try and split? Get the 6-8” log in quarters? Thanks, I’m digging through the pile tonight.

    Selfbow from wind blown trees in Kalispell

    Awesome! Thanks guys. And sorry for not having a clue on trees. I had always heard elm but couldn’t have guessed myself. @Dougfirtree , you say to split it, but that’s after the drying for a year right? Thanks again guys! I knew I had time to figure out what to do, but this seems like as...

    Selfbow from wind blown trees in Kalispell

    This is a long shot but here goes. Kalispell got blown over on Sunday with many of the trees in downtown throwing branches and trunks around. We had a tall 80 foot elm (I think?) that came down on my truck and part of the house. As you drive through the neighborhoods it looks like a tornado hit...

    If I only knew this when I first started backpacking....

    Speaking of hot spots, Leukotape is great. It helps with blisters like anything else but will stay on for days.

    How's my posture?

    Trying to consciously hold onto the bow can add the torque. I don’t drop it completely after the shot, but it kind of swings in the web between my thumb and pointer. I don’t even have a closed grip when I shoot, just push with that seam of your thumb. I seem to consolidate most of my problems in...

    If I only knew this when I first started backpacking....

    I have a tendency to carry a 20-30lb pack almost regardless of a day hunt or a 10 day backpack in the Bob. My first aid and emergency bag is the same, my water is almost always 3L, and my sleep kit (tarp, hammock, sleeping bag, and extra socks and undies) is right around 4lbs. Food is the only...

    Will do. We will likely be the two in matching hats...

    Kalispell family ponds

    You guys nailed it. Pine Grove was recently stocked and we almost had it to ourselves. Caught two 6in trout in about 45 min. He loved it! Thanks to all!

    Kalispell family ponds

    Thanks! The sloughs had completely slipped my mind and I was only thinking of the ponds! We’ll see how long I can stretch his attention, then may bounce to another spot if he’s willing. I’ve got snacks, sunscreen, bug spray and will grab some worms. I’ll make sure to report back how it goes...

    Kalispell family ponds

    Evening guys, I’m hoping some of you may be able to pm me or point me in the right direction. My 3 year old has a little fishing pole and is getting pretty good at casting. I think it’s time to catch a fish. However, I’m still a horrible angler. We’ve tried Dry Bridge Pond as it’s in the...

    Free offer to help HTers with their e-scouting - nothing but feedback in return - so I can practice.

    I think he’s trying to home his skills, not necessarily offer free help. That’s just the trade off. I have the same problem of getting enough locations through e scouting, then check a subset with boots on the ground, then you hunt an even smaller subset. It makes it a long (multi year) effort...

    elk calling strategies

    Agree the elk 101 is a great course if you new, and some of his more recent videos about setups that went right and wrong are very helpful too. I also have the ElkNut playbook and app and find them to be great references even after the first few seasons

    Ruger LCR 357

    Thanks Howl, For carrying I’ll run .38 spc but for back up bear rounds, I’m imagining this is as my other arm is in the bears mouth. Most likely contact shots in case the bear spray doesn’t work. I think I’ll get to do a range report.

    Ruger LCR 357

    I think I may have found an option: the sneaky Pete. I carry my bear spray on my bino harness, so this on my pack belt seems like an option. as for the ammo, BB says they should be better at avoiding crimp jump. Any experiences though?

    Ruger LCR 357

    Haha, usually it’s more of the “front country”. I was chastised last rifle season when I was loading up my bike to ride 4 miles back, with the first mile through a common hiking area. The last was incredibly concerned I was going to shoot her dog on accident. Montana’s getting filled with yuppies.

    Too specific? I thought someone may have a couple thoughts...
