    Broadhead Choices

    G5 Montec M3 I used the original Montecs for year with great success and I like the M3 even better. The M3 is way more quiet in flight. It is surprising how loud some broadheads can be in flight.

    Electrical Tape on Muzzle?

    I always tape my muzzle. In agreement will all above, protecting your barrel is critical. I have proven to myself a dozen times that POI does not shift due to the tape. The way I wrap on my brake it is completely gone after the first shot. I have always wanted to do some high speed imaging to...

    Getting paid ! Construction industry.

    We are based in Oregon. Construction law here allows for 18% interest per year. Our T&Cs that our customers sign lets them know they will pay interest beyond 30 days. Along with a bunch of other stuff. DM me if you want to see some our out T&C pages. My experience has been that if you are...

    Tips and tricks for burning a stump needed

    Take a long bar saw and cut across as far down as you can go. Do a star pattern all the way to the center. They create airflow to the middle. Soak with diesel and it should burn to the core.

    Elk hunters. What’s your favorite bow to take to the mountains

    Mathews has been my goto for the last few years. I have had a Helm and V3-27. They are both killers. Like others have said. I would carry what I shoot regularly.

    GPS trackers

    There are the negatives for sure. But to ignore the positives would also be a shame. Before cell phones/inreach, I remember many times of cutting a track and heading in the opposite direction of plans. My friends got used to it but initially it led to concern if there was a problem. Now they can...

    Going from multiple rifles to just one

    My approach has also been to simplify and focus to 1. have a rifle I can count on that I know really well. 2. Make the component purchasing more streamlined so I am not trying to buy every powered, case, bullet, primer under the sun. I have ended up with three. 17 HMR, 7mm WSM, and 6GT. All in...

    Repair Old Bow or Buy New Bow

    I will second the string issue as a word of caution on buying a used bow. Sometimes the savings are not there. Our local bow shop is charging almost $300 for a new string tuned on a VXR. It will make the better price not that much better on used. If you do buy used watch the accessories. They...

    Density altitude and sight tapes

    I shoot at home (~3,600') out to 120 pretty regularly. For hunting, I limit my self to 60 yards. I have not seen a full tape change from 1000' to 6500' out to 60 yards. I have not tried longer shots 100+ at other altitudes to see if it is more pronounced. Since you are going to Alaska, I have...

    6mm creedmoor or 6mm gt

    With a 20" or less barrel, the GT should have enough case to have little to no performance difference between the two. I'd say sixes. Unless you want to shoot factory ammo

    Colorado Muzzy Elk or 1st Rifle

    The timing on the ML season has jacked up the archery hunting in Co. I think the ML is the way to go in timber country. 1st rifle in Spot/stalk cross canyon country

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    The things that have worked best for me are the ones I will do everyday. I will put on lbs when I am getting busy an not prioritizing health. A combo of doubling down on my workouts and focusing on two things for diet. 1. Keeping from over eating, 2. up the protein. That recipe has worked for...

    Kenetrek vs. Crispi vs. everything else

    I have had a few of the ones referenced. Crispi, Kenetrek, Mendl, Schnees.... All are good boots. I am currently stuck on Schnees Beartooth as they fit my feet well and have a 2 flex. I like that level so it has structure but I still feel like I can walk quietly in them when still hunting. My...
