    Zulu6 Digiscope - PhoneScope - Ollin - Other?

    I am looking at picking up a digiscope solution for my 20x Zulu6 binos. Is the Ollin System worth 2x the price of the Phone scope? Any other brands I should look at? I am just looking to film more hunts and animals. Amateur-level stuff with my friends and dad. I'm not sure if I'll use the...

    What don't I know from watching YouTube hunts?

    I drew my first Antelope tag (Sept rifle)! That said, my only "antelope-specific" education is from watching several dozen hunts on YouTube. What should I know that I probably haven't picked up on? I've killed plenty of other animals (deer, elk, pigs, javelina, bear, etc...) and have done a...

    Barrel length, concussion, your experience.

    I can’t own a suppressor in my state but toying going to a longer barrel with no device. What has been your experience with barrel length. Of my 3 rifles 22” bare, 24” spiral port, 26” baffle. Each progression increases blast despite having a longer barrel (this is a factor of the muzzle device...

    Tiburon Pants - Kuiu

    Thick thigh crew: Can anyone compare/contrast the fitment of the Tiburon pants to the Attacks? I cannot wear the Attacks because they are too tight on my thighs and I end up "meat printing" pretty bad as well. Even if I size up and am loose on the waist. The Tiburons are supposed to be looser...

    Cops / Wardens shows?

    Are there any new ones on TV? I Love those shows and watched a lot of the "wardens" "cops" "live PD" stuff but has anything come out recently in the last year or so?

    Rangefinder test?

    Has there been a thorough rangefinder test or consensus who is "best?" I currently have a Leupold w TBR and use 4dof for rifle hunting + archery mode with my bow. What am I giving up at real-world hunting distances? Does Leica cut through snow better? Does Sig work better in low light? Those...

    Deviated Septum

    I've only ever been able to breathe out of one nostril my whole life. It's not a structural blockage but more of a one is always clogged with junk/snot. I had a minor procedure a few years back to "fix" it but that never really did much. My mom had an issue with this as well. Who has had a more...

    Trigger weight on superlite (5.5lb all-in) rifle?

    I am helping my dad with his Howa Superlite which is 5.5 lbs scoped. The spring kits can be ordered in different weights (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5lb). We are looking at the 2lb or 2.5lb kit. Given the rifle is so light we are leaning towards the 2lb kit. I think anything less is just too light but...

    Tripod shooting. Front & Rear vs Middle Support

    It seems like a lot of guys shooting off a tripod only use the tripod and the gun clamped/attached somewhere just forward of the mag. How does that stability compare to clamping the gun at the end of the fore-end and using some form of rear support like a pack frame or trekking pole closer to...

    40 vs 50mm on a 3-9x or 4-12x

    My dad who is 72 needs a little help with light gathering at twilight. We are looking at upgrading to a 50mm objective over his current 40 but I am not sure it will make much of a difference. It would be a vx-3hd, we might even spring for a 4.5-15x which may be more impactful.

    Glassing chair? Packable

    I am looking at buying a packable glassing chair but am curious as to how much it helps. I am the typical Rokslider that hikes in so weight does matter. It would mainly be used for western hunting but also turkeys in the spring. I guess I am trying to quantify how much a chair actually helps...

    Gaiters + Quick creek crossing

    What has been your experience crossing creeks with gaiters? I am "sure" 2 steps crossing one real quick (5 seconds) will leave my feet dry just like taking 5 mins to cross one will leave my feet wet. What is about the general limit when it comes to crossing? I understand it can vary greatly. I...

    Win Model 70 300wm, BOSS Brake thread.

    Does anyone know the thread pitch/pattern on a 2000's Winchester model 70 in 300 WM with the BOSS tuner brake? It seemed to go on m14x1.5 at the local hardware store but I want to be sure.

    Browning X-Bolt Scope height help.

    I need to know my scope height for a Leupold CDS dial. I have Talley low 30mm rings which are supposed to be (.400") and a newer x-bolt in 6.5 PRC. Does anyone know my total scope height? I don't have any measuring tools, unfortunately.

    Infinite Battery life trail cam?

    Does anyone know of a trail camera or setup that never needs charging or new batteries? I am trying to help a buddy out who has a remote camera in a different state. Ideally, it would charge itself. I see some with solar panels built in but I am not sure how well those work or not. Bears hit the...

    Wiser "Tripod", any reviews?

    Has anyone compared the Wiser tripod (I know its a combo of parts) to a regular tripod and what were your thoughts? I dont expect it to be 100% as steady as an outdoorsmans or whatever but how close does it get? My glass is all on the light/small end of the spectrum so if I can get good...

    TSS Shot

    I picked up a new shotgun built specifically for TSS shot. However, I need to sight it in and TSS is hard to come by (I've called 20 stores) and $15 a round last I purchased. Can I sight it in or pattern it with lead #8 birdshot and then verify with one round of TSS? Any thoughts?
