    Feeling the Pressure: Two Tags to Fill

    100%. It seems like they have magical powers they way the appear and disappear. I slipped into an area 2 days ago for an evening hunt. After 40 min of being there and looking it over multiple times by eye and with binos, I was convinced nothing was there when my eye caught a shape. Pulled up...

    New FHF FOB bino harness/my thoughts

    Got a few of the new FHF items for my Pro-M yesterday: WINGS: definitely add some stability, but they're still quite a bit more flexible than I'd envisioned/hoped for. M1 RF Pouch - it's better than the original and probably one of the better pouches available, but I'd prefer more structure...

    Zeiss SFL 10x30 vs Maven B3 10x30

    These comparisons are always tough choices. I bought a pair of Kowa Genesis 10x33's because they're so highly rated as a replacement for my Nikon M7's. The Kowa's were double the price, and they're much heavier and bulkier than the M7's. Optically, I see little difference between the two and...

    I'm guessing the new Yukon line will be a more durable version of the TR Chugach material??

    New FHF FOB bino harness/my thoughts

    For a rear-opening harness, the Pro-M is hard to beat. For some people, the forward-opening design is just a new, cool thing. For others it's legitimately a better option. I stay away from magnets also, but Marsupials non-magnetic version is really nice. I use the Marsupial for my larger...

    New FHF FOB bino harness/my thoughts

    I have a Pro-M also and don't plan to replace it with the new model because I simply love putting my elk reeds in the front tabs - something the new model can't do. But I am going to get the wings. As for the forward opening design, a lot of guys dig them because it's quick and easy to pop...

    Introducing my children to archery

    IMO, they'll let you know if/when they're interested. And I don't think I'd start before 8-ish.

    What ATV should I buy?

    I recently bought a new quad and went thru the same questions. I've owned a lot of Honda and Suzuki motorcycles and quads without any issues so i was thinking Japanese. After researching, a Honda Rubicon seemed to be the way to go. But then I went to a dealership and looked at a ton of...

    KUIU Verde Green-Is is as bright green as it looks om my computer screen?

    I guess that's why they had that color on sale recently. It looks obnoxiously bright.

    Daughter going to college - Need to buy her a laptop…please help!

    My coworker bought a fancy Macbook because he's an Apple guy, then found out that it's a bitch trying to use Microsoft SW with an Apple. He eventually got so frustrated with the issues he bought a Windows based laptop. Something to think about.

    Rain Jacket- Experienced Opinions-Swazi, Sitka Etc.

    I bought a set 20 years ago, and for hunting rain gear, it was some of the best gear you could buy at that time. I wore it for several years (only during hunting season so minimal use), but it worked well. The down side is the brushed face - which makes it very quiet - also retains a lot of...

    Any tips on exterior paint for house

    I'd recommend googling paint ratings and making an informed decision for yourself. You definitely don't need $90/gal paint just because someone else thinks you do. Also, make sure you buy the mesh strainers for your sprayer. It sucks getting clogs in the sprayer tip.

    Any tips on exterior paint for house

    Buy a good sprayer intended for use with 5 gal buckets Buy paint in 5 gal buckets Do 2 coats (Do both coats before moving to the next side) Assuming you're using 2 colors: spray the siding and SIDES of the trim first, then roll the trim FACE with a roller and you're done (shouldn't need a brush...

    Archery Release HELP

    I ditched my wrist release because I got tired of it getting in the way of using my hand (getting something from a pocket), or it would bang into things (rangefinder, etc) - I've never once thought of going back. Hinges are really good for training, but I personally won't hunt with one as I...

    Absolutely Savage Bear Fight

    Dang, pretty intense. Their hide must be like steel to withstand the ripping action from the big dude.

    New FHF FOB bino harness/my thoughts

    Great feedback. The whole system looks really nice and quality-made. I had the same concern about the strap edges so I'm glad you mentioned it. The edge dressing gives the harness a nice quality look, but IMO bino harnesses need to have a simple, flat strap.
