    Thoughts on using a ground blind with shotgun?

    Young kids fidget. Go with the ground blind. Took my 2 kids out for youth season. My son can't sit still, Gound Blind worked like a charm. One day was raining, we were dry. Another day was colder, so I had a heater. I brought coloring books, snacks, drinks, tablets with ear phones (much to...

    Are turkeys getting harder to kill?

    Not sure what part of IL your from. But I can't remember the last time I called in a hot gobbler that would gobble back to me as I called it in! Two weeks ago for youth season I "called in a hen" for my son, hoping a Tom was right behind her. Nope. But they gobble their heads off in the roost...

    Digiscope setup iPhone 16 and vortex razor??

    Are digiscope adapters universal? I have a Swaro ATX 85mm, and a Samsung android phone. I Googled Digiscope adapters and see that Swaro has em for $200. There's got to be a cheaper option. My android isn't new and may get a new phone here soon. So I want something that's pretty flexible and...

    TSS Choke vs Reg Choke?

    I actually just came back from patterning my 28ga. I grabbed a Carlson XFULL choke .515 constriction. Shot 3 inch, Winchester, #9 TSS 1-1/2oz load, 25 yds (that's what the range could offer.) Was very pleased. I certainly think that'll do the job, and don't have any bones about taking one at...

    Am I out of line?

    Im intrigued too as to what happened?! Esp since this thread is from 2020! Oh the suspense! Ok, as a dad who's taking my kids on their very first hunt tomorrow for the states youth season. I can sympathize! However here's what I would say. Any healthy marriage needs communication. Somes...

    Favorite bird to hunt

    I know they're "Sky carp," but geese! Actually I'd say waterfowl (geese and ducks), but we shoot a 4:1 ratio of geese to ducks. Ducks fly like they're on crack and can be hard to shoot, even when decoying because they dip and dive so fast. But I love the colors of their iridescent feathers...

    Waders

    Yeah, I know I'm kind of in the minority with Banded. Better lucky than good on some occasions! 🤷😆

    Waders

    I have decent luck with Banded. I have their Black Label and their 2.0s. One in un-insulatted and one in insulated. I'll NEVER go back to neoprene. Breathable the whole way. But I have a buddy and my brother that had their Banded 2.0s leak their first time. Banded sent em replacements and...

    Was looking for MOA.

    FFP + Capped Turrets + IR?

    Yeah I know I'm on RokSlide and guys hate Leupy, lol. I've never had an issue with any of mine and when I was younger Leupy was all I knew. It's all my older role models shot. It was "the" scope. So it's what I was given and they've never let me down. Lol. 🤷 Maybe I'm just lucky. 🤷 I had Leupy...

    FFP + Capped Turrets + IR?

    Yeah, I routinely shoot out to 450. The scope I'm asking about isn't for me. It's for my brother who had a bad experience with his gun in a scabbard. I've read about that Athalon and that really intrigues me. I've also seen a Meopa that was about $1k two yrs back. I shoot hold overs in MOA. I...

    FFP + Capped Turrets + IR?

    Yeah, I shoot hold overs for all my scopes in FFP. I have several higher end Leupys and some Nightforce but mostly Diamondback FFPs for most of my guns. Was in Montana for an elk hunt on horses. My brother had a Gen 1 Vortex Viper 5-25 FFP with a zero stop that got knocked around in the...

    FFP + Capped Turrets + IR?

    Are the trijicons FFP and capped turrets? I forgot to mention I'd prefer MOA over MIL.

    FFP + Capped Turrets + IR?

    Never heard of Element scopes before....? I was hoping something in the major lines of scopes? Like: Vortex, Meopa, Leupold, etc.

    FFP + Capped Turrets + IR?

    Looking for a FFP with capped turrets and an IR Reticle with subtensions to shoot out to 500 yds hunting? Preferably a 3-14x, 4-16x, 3-18x. If I can only have 2 of those 3, I'd ditch the IR, but would like an IR if it's possible. Am I looking for a unicorn that doesn't exist? I'm fairly...
