    Hot weather socks

    Thanks. Going to give the Darn Toughs to a friend who is a conservation officer. Their pay scale does not justify $22 a pair socks.

    Upgrading binos: Torn between another 10x42 or stepping up to 12x50

    Going to jump in here. Tons of glassing experience here with binos and scopes. Based on what your are describing as your personal hunting experiences, and since you recognize a spotting scope is not worth the money no more often than you would use it. There is one and only one answer to...

    Hot weather socks

    I only saw one previous post on this issue, so I will give it another go. May get more responses. I am going to elk hunt in NM the first season September 1-14. Been there chasing those critters many times. It gets hot. Here is what has changed. I am not diabetic and the Darn Tough...

    Help me choose a broadhead!!

    I agree that not enough people either take the time to tune or actually know how to tune. With a fixed blade, one needs to tune and shoot every arrow he is taking into the field before going into the field. Then replace the blades or sharpen if the blades are not removable. There is no...

    Removing inserts from Easton FMJ

    Thanks for all your responses. Live and learn. I have built hundreds of dozens of FMJ and never had a problem. But admittedly, the night I built those I was in a big hurry and watching the Olympics. My bad.

    Removing inserts from Easton FMJ

    Not sure what you mean by “bad”, but if you mean how tight are they are tight. I used an 8 inch drill bit to add more weight and neither insert has budged LOL>

    Removing inserts from Easton FMJ

    Understood, but when I cut them I dont leave more than 1/2 inch of overlap beyond the launcher at full draw. Flipping the arrow around on the one that is too deep would work generally.

    Removing inserts from Easton FMJ

    Thanks, but I cut these and fletched them. There is not extra to cut off. I just screwed up and went too fast last night putting the inserts in. Ugh

    Help me choose a broadhead!!

    For deer, my number one vote as well as votes 2-10 is for the Slick Trick Assailant. Have taken a truck load of deer with them, and never lost any. And I have had a couple less than ideal shots. I am human after all lol.

    Removing inserts from Easton FMJ

    Built a dozed arrows yesterday. Somehow I got one insert too deep and one too shallow with the Easton provided tool. I have removed inserts by putting a drill bit inside the shaft and doing the flip the shaft trick to allow the bit to strike the insert. Well I have tried and tried and tried...

    Looking for a tripod with a pivoting head

    Yes, some form of a ball head. For example, Gun Werks is making a new one. I had it in Alaska in May. Good idea but all the “kinks” not worked out yet. Will not hold binos or scope tight. Had to bush craft a fix from a willow twig. There was another in camp with a ball head, but the...

    Looking for a tripod with a pivoting head

    I am looking for a tripod to use with binos that will allow them to pivot or tilt left to right and vice versa. Any recommendations?

    Kuiu Venture 1800 or Divide 1500

    If you have tried both of these packs, which would you use for a day pack hunting early season elk? I have a EXO Mountain K3 1800 with a top that I really like, but these two Kuiu’s are about 2 pounds lighter. Yes, I am counting ounces, and no I do not need the Kuiu to haul meat...

    Bowhunting mobil blind —

    Good point. If stationary there would be less reflection, but on the move might be a problem.

    Bench setups

    Okay if Justin did it, you have to as well. That is another GREAT room. I am at the age that I always think of where I started. So thinking about those starting out. Give them a short summary of what you got there and what you would change if anything.

    Bowhunting mobil blind —

    Has anyone used one of the Ghost blinds (suppose to be like a mirror) or some other type of blind to keep in front of them when stalking pronghorn with a bow? Going to try my first hunt with a bow in a few weeks. I suppose a decoy might work as well. What has worked for you?

    Bench setups

    Thanks Justin! It gives some of us the opportunity to dream about one or two items, and gives the beginners the chance to make a long Christmas list. Thanks again.

    Bench setups

    Why doesn’t someone identify the various tools or toys on the far and near bench. While this is like looking at the Mona Lisa to some who appreciate art, others need to know why we are dreaming of a bench like this.
