    Tikka vertical grip

    I put the vertical grips on a couple rifles and then I put the stock grip back on. I don't like how much my hand has to accommodate the extra big grip. I don't have huge hands but they're not small. I also grew up shooting hunting rifles that didnt have vertical/pistol grips. I would sell mine...

    Hamskea Hybrid Hunter Pro Micro Fletching Contact

    I use a Blake's Hitch on my pull cord so I can loosen it and tighten it as needed to work on, store, etc. Its nice because I can retighten it every day whereas the string clamp is just set in place. You could try that and maybe you can get your rest to stay out of the way. It could also be your...

    WTS Dead Eye Tripod System

    $250 is a good price....I looked at the kit and its only a one year warranty. Just something to consider.

    Blind Calling

    I am also here to find out. I found a spot with a lot of bear traffic and berries but it is too thick for glassing or shooting more than 40 yards

    Arrow shafts

    Cabela's has a sale going on right now. I bought some Carbon Express D Stroyer MX Hunter arrows. $70 for six arrows. 8.9gpi. They're fletched with 2 inch veins. I haven't used them yet. I bought them to do my first arrow build so I don't have any other input on them.

    FMJ arrow configuration to augment FOC

    I shoot 5mm FMJ and I asked my bow shop guy about adding weight to it and he said it would be difficult because the shaft itself is so heavy. Like others have said, it would be easier to start with a new arrow build. Its unfortunate to have to abandon those arrows but if you want high FOC its...

    Non hunting brand clothing recommendations

    I looked up the PRA. I never learned the specifics....guns, ammo, bows, arrows and a little more but no clothing. You are correct.

    Non hunting brand clothing recommendations

    If you're a vet you may be able to get a 50% Non hunting brands often only profit from the people who enjoy the great outdoors, and they do not donate to conservation at all, let alone have the 11% tax attached to their goods as a result of the Pittman Robertson Act.

    Meateater: Ashby and Rinella

    It was a good episode. But I can't see shooting a 950 or 1250 grain arrow (on the grizzly website) at something +40 yards away...but then again I haven't shot that setup. There must be some point where grains vs velocity have a sweet spot where they meet for the best arrow setup for a certain...

    Explain a Complete Tree Saddle Setup?

    A saddle setup is more mobile than a tree stand simply because it's much smaller and it's not a big rigid object. But if you use a big platform then you negate the mobility a lot. Your climbing system will be the most variable component to your setup. There are sticks, steps, rope techniques...

    Thoughts on Kuiu Pro vs Mystery Ranch?

    I have the Kuiu LT 4000 and I used it for treestand hunting last season. Its big enough to carry all my gear and a FL Sanctuary jacket & bibs. If I had been carrying camera gear in the LT 4000 I would have run out of room when I had to carry my cold weather gear and would have had to strap...
