    Knives with a bit of belly

    Nice 👍 The JX6 fits in my hand naturally so out of the two it sees the majority of play time.

    Manners EH1 vs the new Pro Hunter stock

    The PH is a pretty slick setup, just received mine a few weeks back from a January order. Lower stock is the CA Ridgeline OEM, ridiculous difference in shooter comfort.

    Gaining muscle for hunting?

    Gaining muscle for hunting?

    Agreed. The guys I know still get paid to break things and blow stuff up, and to their credit, they still maintain an excellent level of anaerobic capacity. Aerobic conditions + significant elevation increase + sustained output is just not what the beefcake approach excels at. I think last year...

    Gaining muscle for hunting?

    I haven’t seen anything that conclusively says the trap bar is less of a lift, you’re already on the right path if you’re doing them. I’m talking straight meathead. I have a few in my crew who are absolute silverbacks but can’t figure out why they gas out after a few miles. I would call that...

    Have you moved out of state?

    MT > WA > MO > AK > WA > AL > NC Best part of being American is the freedom to go where you like, I’ve yet to meet a state I didn’t find something amazing about. If San Diego wasn’t in California I would have moved there in a heartbeat…but it is, and our views on firearms just don’t jive.

    Gaining muscle for hunting?

    #1 beneficial lift for hunting: Deadlifts Why: Direct connection to strength of posterior chain (lower back to ankles) and core (lower back and abdominals). Practical application: Anything involving a backpack, to include packout, will be easier. You will be less likely to sustain an injury...

    Zeroing rifle in high humidity

    A rifle’s 100 yard zero doesn’t shift because you change environment. Negative, Ghost Rider. Unless you just enjoy shooting in new places, you should be confirming/truing your new drop chart on location, at a distance relative to your maximum effective range. Nailed it. 👍

    Loaded day pack weight

    Lot of good advice here, the other, more obvious answer is: In all seriousness, take your kit out, fill your water bottles, hike around, mimic all of the things you are going to do, and keep a running list of everything you use. Anything you don’t touch is suspect with three exceptions: 1) med...

    Squeaky pack

    It’s probably not the frame, it’s more likely a strap or actual fabric of the pack creating friction with your movement. Electrician’s tape or silicone spray work like a champ.

    2024 Cold Bore Challenge Q&A Thread

    Quick break from the heckling… This is an awesome format. I appreciate what the Rokslide team did to put this together, prizes or not. It’s simple things like this that confirm/deny limitations and reinforce the sense of community beyond the internets. For that, I say thank you. I also tip my...
