Opinions on a spotting scope for Mtn Goat?
I am a newbie to spotting scopes and honestly have never paid a ton of attention to threads on quality spotters as a result. I am fortunate enough that I drew a CO Mtn Goat tag this year after 17 years of applications. Now, I'm all of a sudden very interested in a spotter. I'm willing to make... -

Reloading Bench Pics! Post Yours!
My bench is looking pretty anemic compared to some of these really impressive setups! -
Assault bike or rowing machine?
I have both and they are both a great workout. If I had to choose one and only one ... C2 Rower. This being said the Echo Bike (Rogue version) is an awesome machine and can destroy you and your soul faster than any other machine ... IMHO. For higher intensity + shorter duration, the bike wins...- bat-cave

Best Rechargeable Headlamp
On the rechargeable front, I've been using the Biolite for two years nor and very impressed. My 330 is two years old and just added the 750, but it arrived after the season so no field review as of yet. The 330 is light enough that you forget you are wearing it and has done very well on... -
Good decap die for military brass?
My presses are Dillon's and I use their Universal decapping Die, no complaints ... but I do keep extra pins handy .. just in case and have thankfully not needed one as of yet. -
razco/glock 20?
Maybe I'm a wuss, but I don't even like carrying My G20 on my hip as it's a tank! I bought a Razco and then went back to hop carry as I hate having so much crap & weight on my chest all day and layering becomes a real chore. Maybe if I was pack free, but given I always have a pack or can move... -
Plantar Fasciitis - still....
My PF was very debilitating, but quickly addressed via custom orthotics prescribed by my pediatrist along with some exercises. I was back in my feet and at ~75% in less than a week. Assume you are looking at orthotics for the rest of your life. The reality is you can fall off the wagon and...- bat-cave

protective prescription eyewear during hunts
As a follow-up, I just received an email from Revant and they have a 20% off sale this weekend. For me it was <$100 to get a pair of prescription lenses that I can pop in/out of my Oakley frames. Great for both Archery and slinging lead. Yes, they are polycarbonate but I have zero issues with...- bat-cave

FL Sanctuary Windproof?
I have both the Woodbury and the Sanctuary and would agree that they are windproof! Super warm and great for nasty days in the stand ... just don't wear either on the way to your stand! :-) -
TAC Arrows
I brought 2 dozen to TAC in CO last year ... lost 2. 1 to rebar in the leg of a target at 121 yards and another from being tired and launching an arrow into the tree's (punched during the draw cycle). I also shot the Mtn Archery Fest the following weekend, zero arrows lost. My older kids each... -
For those that carry in the backcountry....
Strongside Hip w/ Safariland QLS attachment + MOLLE adapter. I have a MOLLE adapter on each of my pack hip belts and the QLS lets me just release the fork and move the holster + gun as a unit and move between packs. I am using the fork MOLLEfor the hip belt so if I decide to drop my pack, it's...- bat-cave

protective prescription eyewear during hunts
I had LASIK ~23 years ago and it has ben amazing. As predicted, I know need glasses. I finally gave up and went to hunting / shooting (Bow & Firearms) full time. I wear my daily frames most of the time, but also picked up a pair of prescription lenses from Revant for my Oakleys and they are...- bat-cave

Favorite Bourbon Opinions
FWIW, if you are like me and are always on the lookout for those special Bourbon's / Whiskeys, consider downloading the tap hunter App. You can tell it your locations and what you are looking for and when participating liquor stores have it, they announce and you can beat feet to the store. I...- bat-cave

Severe Tendonitis anyone??
IMHO VO2MAX is spot on! As someone that has had on again / off again elbow pain for over 30 years, I wish I had been able to begin with Erik's suggestions! More recently I flared up both elbows (Medial & LateralEpicondyle (sp?)). It was brought on by lots of pullups/pushups and poor technique...- bat-cave

Help me with coffee fellas...
IMHO, pour over can make almost any coffee taste that much better. I happen to be a Chemex fan. If you use their filters, even Starbucks can taste pretty good! It takes time, so best for slower mornings when I'm not in a rush, but produces great coffee and it's not an expensive system. I am...- bat-cave

Sitka Blizzard GTZ Mitt
It's just a mitten, no finger slots etc .. inside. Good quality and warm. Bulky and awkward as you would expect of a heavy GTX mitten. IMHO, night and day warmer than the Sitka Incinerator Glove/Flip Mitt! -
Sitka Cargo Box w/climber
I just picked one up. I have an older Tool Box that has served me well, but wanted a bit more space when packing in a pile of cold weather gear for an all day sit. I haven't loaded up my Hawk Stand yet to see how it carries etc ... I was leaning towards the Cargo Box as I like the layout /... -
I’ve been waiting for a belt like you
Great belt, but go up a size from what you think you would normally need.
