    Leica 2800.com with Leica app

    That is correct. If you load up your custom curve into the RF, and plan to use it without a kestrel, turn bluetooth off. You do not need to be connected to the app and it uses battery faster with BT on. The solver is onboard and will use that curve and the environmentals supplied by the RF to...

    Leica 2800.com with Leica app

    That' s how I use mine when hunting, the re-connect process on the 2800 can take too long if I need it in a hurry at times. So I use it with bluetooth turned off and just rely on it's internal solver for the closer shots where time is at a premium. I have trued mine to AB to within about .1...

    Leica 2800.com with Leica app

    John, You are correct, it pulls angle, temp and pressure from the internal sensors in the 2800. Then it uses it's onboard solver and that information to provide a solution. When you use it in external mode with it connected to a Kestrel, it basically sends the compass heading, angle and...

    Testing: SITKA 2021 Dew Point rain gear

    If you have tried a Timberline Jacket, how would you compare the durability? I could definitely see replacing my Timberline with this jacket if it will hold up as a general purpose outer layer like I use my TL for.

    Bipod sampling spree results summary

    I bought a Hatch to try this year as well after trying some other pods and sticks that allow seated shooting in hunting situations. Mine has just a little movement back and forth, but I really don't mind that as it goes away nicely when I preload the bipod. However, if it increases, I'd like...

    New Leica 2800.COM - Initial Hands on Review

    For sure, it will range a lot farther than that on game. How far exactly depends on the conditions of the moment, but I've hit game at over 1k and cows farther still.

    New BDX scopes and updates from Sig

    They had the first shipment arrive in late Dec IIRC, but it was already mostly sold out so it was gone instantly to backorders etc. I was told they expected another shipment sometime in January maybe Feb. Hope to get an update sooner than later from Sig.

    Weatherby Vanguard Backcountry feedback?

    I almost bought one a few years ago, it ticked a lot of the boxes. Ended up buying an Accuguard instead. But a couple questions about what you plan to shoot out of the rifle and how you plan to use it. If you handload and want to shoot heavy for caliber bullets (212's for example), you will...

    Best 300 Win Mag for $1200

    No offense, but I really would not recommend a 30 cal magnum as your jump off point. That is usually a recipe for a huge flinch. With a brake, your recoil will diminish significantly, but noise and blast go up massively as well, and often, these are what promote a flinch just as much. Having...

    Best 300 Win Mag for $1200

    I have been shooting a 300 win mag for some years, my son just moved up to a 300 PRC this year. I have had a few other rifles....Vanguard, Bergara, Winchesters, Tikka, etc. in various calibers. When it comes to the 300 win mag, I found out the expensive way that it is important think about...

    CO OTC hunter numbers with unit change

    We hunted 71 and 711 the past 4 years. I'll say in 2nd and 3rd seasons, the number of hunters in both units, but especially western 71 and also 711, was daunting. This year, between my son and I, we hunted 2nd, third and 4th....we got away from the crowds in 2nd by going to some very steep...

    Rebuildable Salomons?

    Just talked to rocky mtn resole on the phone. Super nice. Yes, for 93 bucks (which includes return shipping), they will put on a vibram bifida sole in place of the original. They do other repairs as well if they are needed, but I am going to give this a try here in the next couple months when...

    Rebuildable Salomons?

    Looks like a resole is around 90 bucks, but what I really like is that it looks like a more aggressive vibram sole might be available. I'm going to give them a call and see what it all entails. But this could be just what I am looking for.

    Rebuildable Salomons?

    Awesome, I'll look into them. A taller, insulated 4d GTX, that is resolable....would be absolutely perfect, that's what I need!

    Rebuildable Salomons?

    I have had some injuries to my right ankle that surgery could not fix, so have had some difficulties every year when elk and md hunting in colorado. I have been wearing some Crispi Nevadas, but this year, I bought some Salomon 4d's to just use as daily shoes to replace some Merrel's I had, and...

    Bipod comparisons?

    For most of the hunting we do, we need pods that can be used seated or prone. After using a tall Harris, which is really too tall for my taste when shooting prone and is fiddly to setup quickly for a seated shot, we tried a Hatch this year. The Hatch is tall enough to use seated, is fast to...

    Colorado OTC question

    I have hunted OTC units in Colorado for a few (not many) years, so take my account with a huge grain of salt. This year, I still hunted the same OTC unit we have been, but I drew 4th season, so it was a draw only season. We also hunted during open seasons (2nd and 3rd), as my son had a cow...
