    Bow Maintenance book recommendations?

    Nuts and Bolts of Archery is a great place to start. I also read/watch about everything Dudley puts out there. Take info in like a sponge and find out what works best for you. ArcheryTalk can have some good info but also a lot of crap to wade through to find the good stuff.

    Mystery Ranch Pop Up 28

    I would say 80-90 lbs would be pretty realistic for the Pop up. 60 lbs felt really good, not quite as good as in my Guide Light frame but still very comfortable.

    New Mystery Ranch Packs

    We have some of the Pop 18 and 28 packs in stock now. Loaded one up with 60 lbs with the stays up and I was very impressed. For the size of this pack with the stays down it is a real game changer in day pack design. I felt like I could comfortably carry 80-90 lbs no problem with this pack. I own...

    New Sitka pack. Are they legit contenders?

    This frame will definitely not fold up. Very rigid Aircraft aluminum frame.

    New Sitka pack. Are they legit contenders?

    Nothing exact but it will be comparable price wise to the equivalent size MR and SG from what I've seen.

    New Sitka pack. Are they legit contenders?

    Had the opportunity to play around with the Mountain Hauler 6200. It's a very solid pack and I have no doubts that it will live up to the 150 lb load rating. It has a lot of really nice features not found on other packs. With 60 lbs in it it was very stable and comfortable. This definitely...

    Satellite EPIRB type device thingamajigs

    I have the older Delorme InReach Explorer model as well and it works flawlessly. Definitely money well spent and I'm always able to be in contact. I'm outside of cell service almost every week at some point so for me the Annual plan is worth it. Nice to be able to choose though. I've heard the...

    Which Crispi boot is similar in stiffness to a Lowa Tibet GTX

    They are a fair amount stiffer than the Nevada. Since they are built on different systems they are hard to compare apples to apples as the Crispi boots have a pronounced "rocker" built into the last which makes them feel different than the Tibet. Even the Flex 4 rated Crispi boots feel less...

    Best Backpack under $250

    I'd say wait and buy a good used pack off someone on here. Either Mystery Ranch, Stone Glacier, Kifaru, Seek Outside, etc. You'll be much happier than buying a new pack that retails for $250 or less. FYI there will be some killer deals on Camofire soon that involve one of the above companies.

    Which Crispi boot is similar in stiffness to a Lowa Tibet GTX

    Right now the stiffest Crispi boots are the Briksdal, Hunter, and Thor at Flex rating 4 which is similar to the Tibet but has a different feel. There will be a stiffer Briksdal coming out soon as well.

    Peep Sight Color preference

    I've used colored peeps (blue, red, etc) in the past but have always preferred a matte/ flat black peep since they typically don't have as much glare or distraction to my eye.

    Anyone shooting a 460 Rowland conversion?

    10mm. Cheaper, safer, you can push some 220 grain hard casts out at 1300-1400 fps. Serious power and penetration with 15-16rds on tap. Too me the Rowland conversion is just too finicky to rely on in a situation when it matters.

    Polygiene vs merino inquiry

    The Rokslide10 code should be working just fine. It won't work on optics or certain sale items but should work on anything else. Give us a call so if not and we can get that applied for you.
