I haven't used these specifically, but I had about 5 minutes with an older pair of 15x stabilized binos (Cannons IIRC) about 3 years ago. I was definitely impressed. It made me wonder why there weren't more common for hunting use. I have pretty steady hands, but still have a tough time holding...
Same stiffness. The Baltoro is leather, just a little more like a suede. The two boots are incredibly similar.
Didn't get to test out durability. I'm pretty sure the Crestas don't have a goretex liner thru the tongue because they leaked like crazy the first time I hit deep enough water to cover...
It is definitely popular with offroaders . And there are definitely people who run GMRS base stations just like Ham.
I haven't heard much for highway chatter on the regular channels. Almost everything I've heard has been through the repeaters. I'm not sure if that's the norm or just my area...
You could also check out GMRS radios.
While not compatible with CB, they are higher power (upto 50W vs like 4W for CB) and can connect to repeaters for a large broadcast range.
There is a big public GMRS repeater near me that must broadcast a 50 mile radius. One can hear a lot of interesting...
I'm looking to try a new quiver for next year. A tight spot (5 or 7 arrow) was at the top of my list. This looks interesting enough to consider as well, so I'm looking forward to hearing feedback on it over the coming weeks and months.
EDIT: I'm curious to hear weight specs and where it's made.
I have only shot Bohning Blazers in 3 fletch (offset) and Heat in 4 fletch (helical).
It was quite surprising to me how much quieter the Heat are compared to the Blazers; a friend even made a comment about how noisy the Blazers were in comparison.
While I haven't yet shot broadheads with Heat...
I only stepped into the archery realm at the beginning of this year, but I bought a wise choice about 2 months ago. For me it was a massive improvement in consistency in anchor over my wrist strap release. I find it to be more natural and comfortable as well.
However, I find the 3rd finger...
Those are sweet wraps!!! Looks like a very tidy arrow build - impressive - thanks for sharing.
While not nearly as cool as the OPs arrows, I just fletched my first dozen arrows using Oracal 651, cut on my wife's Cricut as well. A manual straight edge trimmer would be a great alternative for...
