His truck bbq video on YouTube says a lot. Not someone I’d support, especially when there’s lots of other solid companies selling good archery products.
I can’t answer question 1 as I’ve only had the original mini.
In regards to where to buy - for the most part Garmin uses MAP so it’s the same price everywhere. If you’re a veteran or first responder, have a work discount or any other way to use a specific vendor that’s one way to get a...
Others have nailed it, anyone can ask for anything. Lawfully it’s pretty much just the feds that have the right but good luck with that. Here in WA I’m keeping copies of my stamps to show sworn law enforcement when I have no other option. Everyone else can pound sand and I’ll move along from...
Absolutely. It’s what I do. It’s an unpopular opinion, but bareshaft tuning, while effective can be difficult and may show form flaws more than a tuning problem.
Shoot through paper to be sure you’re close, and move on to broadhead tuning. It’s how you’re going to use the equipment anyway...
I’ve owned most of the major brands and my favorite by far is the new eberlestock recon. It isn’t perfect, but close. The harness is by far the best and keeps everything up on your chest without choking you out, the pouches are tight without any bouncing and there’s a reasonable amount of...
I’m a die hard merino person. Seems like no matter the temp I get cold in synthetic no matter how I layer it. I think it may have something to do with the conditions here west of the cascades. Also, the vast majority of my merino is the Kuiu pro with the exception of some short sleeves that...
I worked 10 years of 4 on 4 off. Ours was 2 days, 2 nights. It’s been a few years now that I’ve worked straight days and my sleep has never recovered. I really liked having 4 days off especially when it fell during the week. I don’t know that I ever had more free time in my adult life, but I...
I prefer a limb driven as they are far simpler to set up, and you can maintain them in the field if you had to. I’ve never had a failure with Hamskea rests. I know plenty of folks that have had issues with QAD.
Seems pretty close actually. I load 139 gr with a mild charge of Varget for my wife’s Vanguard which has a short barrel and it’s 2640.
As others have said velocity numbers on the box are usually optimistic at best.
Good video on options. Most of it’s been covered above, but personally I sometimes learn better by watching and listening. As a short draw low poundage shooter, getting max distance out of my set ups, particularly target setups has been challenging and I’ve learned to pull all the tricks. I...
Received as a warranty replacement but while waiting I had to buy a substitute so this one has to go. New in the box, never opened.

Eberlestock. I’ve tried most out there and their harness system seems to keep everything in place best. Other systems at least for me slide down and forward and the pouches are always flopping around. I have yet to get a rangefinder pouch so I’ve been using a marsupial on it and I don’t like...
I’ve hunted with a hinge and may again. I’d discourage people from doing so unless you shoot your bow a lot and use the hinge a lot. The dynamics of a hunting shot combined with manipulating a hinge can be problematic imho. I don’t typically shoot a thumb button but do for hunting. Easier to...
Mine will be here today. I’ve tried a number of different styles over the years. This one looks well thought out. Anxious to actually see it in person.
I’ve had gas on a number of bows as have several folks I shoot with regularly. Almost any brand will have an occasional hiccup, and Gas is no exception. That said, in the couple cases where there was an issue they stood behind it 100% and made it right. I have them on all 3 of my current bows...
Fieldcraft survival offering
Others have posted similar. Just depends on how much you want to carry. For me personally the less “tactical” it looks the better. Lots of folks wearing Fanny packs either on their waist or slung cross body so it’s not the kind of thing to draw attention. Some...
