    Mounting Scopes

    If your using a quality base and rings I have never seen any reason to bother with lapping or alignment. I think the majority of people mess up because they do not torque their rings or bases. They just go by feel method and call it good and over torque the rings which mess up the scope. You...

    Theres no such thing as traditional

    No you didn’t offend me at all, didn’t mean to sound offended either if that I was how I came across. I was just offering my view since I am new to the trad world, the bow world period. I was enjoying the thread and was saying I was bowing out of it because anything else I had to offer would be...

    Theres no such thing as traditional

    I guess I was referring to these post and not the OP. I think we all get the point of this thread, so I will bow out now because I have no more to add that is constructive.

    Theres no such thing as traditional

    Hopefully I’m not being grouped into that category that says “traditional“ archery is easy or any archery period because I’m not saying that with my previous post or this post because I’m completely new and clueless for the most part and have no hunting experience yet with a bow. The only...

    Theres no such thing as traditional

    I also shoot long range, well beyond 1000 yards and shoot between 2000-3000 rounds a year probably and have shot several PRS comps. I’ve also had the similar experience of making a bad shot when I’m capable of making a good one; on the same day I shoot guy shot a deer at 400 yards and made a...

    Theres no such thing as traditional

    I may be jumping into an ant bed here but I started shooting a recurve 2-3 months ago to go elk hunting in September. My plan was if I couldn’t pick up on the recurve within the first couple weeks I would switch to compound. I had almost zero experience with bows, I shot a compound a little bit...

    Base Layer..... Merino bs Synthetics

    You are You are correct I think (no personal experience with comparing). According to John Barklow the Sitka big game line manager, which I referenceD earlier because I have listened to him on several podcast and he explains merino vs synthetic better than anything I’ve heard. The good...

    Base Layer..... Merino bs Synthetics

    If you listen to podcast download a couple with John Barklow (he works for Sitka and manages the big game line) he explains synthetic vs merino in depth and even though the podcast are 1-2 hours I found it pretty interesting. He has been on Kifarucast several times, Stickbow chronicles a couple...

    Ordered Kuiu - not impressed

    I wear my stuff all the time whether it’s in the house or out and around. In fact I wore my attack pants and FL short-sleeve merino top today for work because I like the comfort of all of it. By the way 101 today here, would have rather had on my tiburon pants today but wore them Monday and...

    Ordered Kuiu - not impressed

    I didn’t really notice a difference after washing but before washing they felt pretty comfortable and soft to me. I’ve probably washed mine 10 times now and still looks new and I wear it a bunch before I wash it as well. If I sweat it out or something I just let it dry and then rewear it. I...

    Ordered Kuiu - not impressed

    Definitely haven’t ordered as much as you but have placed a few orders with them and same experience, no problem. That being said there must be a sizing consistency issue because I do see that posted all the time in different places, I must have just gotten lucky and not had that problem my self.

    Ordered Kuiu - not impressed

    If you don’t like the Kuiu merino shirt do not get one from first lite either, I have both and to me they are identical. If I had my eyes closed don’t think I could tell the difference other than the first lite might be just slightly more relaxed. I like my merino shirts but have been looking...

    Kuiu warm weather clothing questions

    I’ve been curious about the kutana pants as well because they are supposed to be much more durable than the tiburons and fairly cool as well. That is my only gripe about the tiburons, they are not very durable but I do use them where they are not really designed for so the durability issue is...

    Kuiu warm weather clothing questions

    Thanks, I saw that one but didn’t read. I was looking at it and saw fleece and was thinking it was something meant for cool-cold temperatures not for anything near mild temperatures so I skipped over it. Think I’ll probably try out the peloton 118 or

    Kuiu warm weather clothing questions

    Where I have been using the tiburon stuff there is wind for sure, usually in the +10 mph range. Not sure if I have tried it where there was no wind and hot yet.

    Kuiu warm weather clothing questions

    Is the peloton 97 you are talking about a regular short sleeve or long sleeve they are no longer producing? I couldn’t find anything but the peloton 97 fleece on the website. I am actually looking for a light synthetic base layer to take the place of the merino 125 ss shirt that I have now...

    Kuiu warm weather clothing questions

    I have the tiburon pants and tiburon shirt. I live in west Texas and have been wearing them in 80-90 deg temps while packing. The shirt gets a little warm but not bad. I haven’t been wearing a base layer under the shirt and for the most part felt like it kept the moisture wicked off. I also...

    Sheep feet insoles

    The rapace, I needed something stiffer than what I had and these are pretty good balance of being stiff but having a little flex it seems like (only have probably around 10 miles on them) The lowas I have I bought for shooting comps and Texas, they are the Z8S I think, they are one of the task...

    Sheep feet insoles

    @MaxHenderson @Squirrels thanks for the opinions, think I’ll go ahead and get full size pair then. Just got to decide for what pair. Good to hear the full size work with multiple boots it seems like even when getting them for specific boot. I got 4 different pairs that I’m not sure which...
