    Finding eye dominance on kid

    For testing kids that young, when communication and coordination are still rapidly developing, I have just handed them a kaleidoscope or even a paper towel tube and had them look through it. Make note of what hand and eye they use and monitor this over a number of uses. Don't explain what you...

    Scope to Rifle Weight Ratio and Bulk

    It seems like most manufacturers struggle to build a 7.5x or 8x erector optic that doesn't have some or all of these issues.

    Hiker style boot

    Waterproofing is a tricky thing. The Salomons and many other light hikers with fabric aren't the best at keeping water out. Once the waterproofing breaks down, the Gore-Tex membrane can actually work against you because it takes longer for the boots to dry out. I am going to re-treat my...

    SWFA Wait Times

    I stand corrected. Looks like only the HD line of scopes are from LOW. As to @Reed104R 's question though, all but the 1-4 are made in Japan.

    Hiker style boot

    For basic hiking boots, I have a lot of miles on my Salomon Quest 4d's. If you want something truely flexible and lightweight, check out the Vivobarefoot Forest Tracker ESC. I wear zero drop shoes every day so I was already used to minimalist footwear. The Tracker ESC has a thin sole so on...

    SWFA Wait Times

    As far as I know all of their scopes are manufactured by LOW (Light Optical Works) in Japan.

    SWFA Wait Times

    That's fair, just thought I'd mention it.

    SWFA Wait Times

    Are they MQ or MOA? I bet there are guys on here who would buy them from you. There are always WTB ads for SWFAs. I have both the 3-9 and 6x MQ and am enjoying the confidence that comes from a sighting system that holds zero, has repeatable dialing, and a practical reticle.

    SWFA Wait Times

    I bought a SWFA 3-9 here on the classifieds, so keep an eye out for that. They come up from time to time. When I've back ordered from SWFA your credit card will show a pending charge, but then they reverse it. They won't charge your credit card until they ship the scope. It doesn't hurt to...

    ONX code

    Even better! I wasn't sure if any info would be lost or inaccessable and my renewal came up the day before a hunt so I just let it auto renew.

    ONX code

    I'm not sure if it's still active, but I've received 20% off using code "Rokcast"

    I think so! Is the rut on already?

    RokStok

    And then after that can we have a Howa 1500 SA/Weatherby Vanguard SA inletted Rokstock? I'm helping a youth hunter who would benefit greatly from ditching the monte carlo stock.

    Hunting Trigger Pull Weight Poll

    I like about 2.5 lbs. I've had match rifles with much lower pull weight but wouldn't prefer it for hunting.

    Best waterproofing spray?

    Yes, they do: https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/products/UV-Protection/tent&gear-solarproof/ I've had good success with Nikwax too.

    Fire VS Ammo

    SAAMI has tested a lot of scenarios: Single cartidge impact test: 2:04 Bonfire test: 12:20 They didn't do an ammo can test though, so I found this guy who got an ammo can to blow open with his flamethrower: I store firearms in the house unloaded, specifically with no round in the chamber...

    Exo K4 5000 Advertised Weight

    Is there a water bladder left in the compartment? How are you weighing the pack? Stepping onto a scale with the pack on? Using a hanging scale?
