As discussed here ad nauseum, some of those .5" groups you've shot historically likely wouldn't stay .5" after 5/10/20 rounds, but would still be 100% serviceable for a 500 yard hunting gun. I'm not going to tell anyone to stop chasing smaller groups, but eventually the juice ain't worth the...
I have one of these as well. Base is a bit snug on my VA-5 but really not a big deal. ESPECIALLY for $13, I have no need for anything more expensive. I second the comment on build quality as well.
I'm currently tossing up either the Timberlines or the Beartooths, size 7.5. In regards to stiffness, I'm curious how the Beartooths compare to the HS hiker from Kenetrek? That is a 4 on the Gohunt scale, so would the Beartooth be somewhere in the 3 range hypothetically? It seems like the...
There are MANY kitchen knives for less than $200 that would knock the socks off that knife. No, I haven't used it, but you are paying 90% of that $399 for the name alone.
I have had the same experience. Superfeet greens helped a bit but still as soon as I get any significant weight on and hit some incline my heels get pretty torn up still. I have pretty small feet (aka, sweaty hobbit feet, size 7.5), and am contemplating going with either the Salewa Crow...
Seeing as how I haven't killed one yet....absolutely! Maybe when I'm old and grey with a fair number under my belt I'll let myself get picky, but I'm not there yet. I've chased a few bulls into massive hell holes but wouldn't have given it a second thought to let one fly had the opportunity...
I would quit tuning fletched field tips before I gave up bare shafts. Realistically, I could go straight from bareshaft in paper straight to tuning broadheads with field points. I keep a few extra steps in there if for no other reason than the warm and fuzzies.
Looks like it would work great for hauling tree stands in/out for whitetails. All day hang and hunts would be a breeze with this thing. And seeing how the 7200 compressed down I bet thins thing is thinner than 3 sheets of paper when you compress it down.
