    Vap Trad or GT Classic XT's

    tradlife- .204 shaft vs .166shaft.... if they have the same grains/inch, the .166 shaft will have a greater wall thickness vs the .204 shaft to end up at the same weight. greater wall thickness equals greater durability.

    Cow elk caliber for wife

    maybe look at a "normal weight" rifle in 7mm-08 rather than a tikka or other lightweight option. 1.5lbs of mass weight and a good pad might make all the difference. learning proper shooting form and how to hold the rifle is important too. might try shooting off sticks or from a seated position...

    Foresters Vest

    it would work nice if you were carrying lots of marking paint and cruising at the same time. more than 5 or 6 cans in a vest sucks. also would be sweet for those snowy winter days when your a long ways from the truck but need to carry extra warm clothes, fire starting stuff, food and all your...

    Speer Grand Slam? Or something similar?

    .277 150gr grand slams hammered an elk for my wife last year and shoot very... very well. From what i understand, the Speer GS is just a beefier Nosler partition. and the price is great. for a little better BC, i picked up some of the ferderal trophy bonded tip bullets in 140gr and they shoot...

    Shelter choices...JT vs BP vs SO

    i have the luna 4. its a great shelter for the price, and for its function. however, it would be tight with a stove and two people. you could do it with a stove for sure,but its not going to be "roomy" with the stove in there.

    The Wall Tent Shop

    my wife and i purchased a 12 x 14ft from these folks in 2015. we lived in it from May - January that year and have spent probably 50ish nights in it since. it has been a wonderful product and at a fair price.

    30-06 at a disadvantage?

    consensus seems to be that: -- 06 offers 150-200fps more velocity --06 delivers more downrange energy --06 has a wider range of bullet weights that compliment its performance -- recoil between and 06 and 308 is similar. --accuracy is general equal --factory ammo is great for both --all in...

    Arrow Building - Point of diminishing returns

    i would think the setup you mention would work. my brother in law shoots a 495gr arrow at like 248 (20ish % FOC) , and his arrow blows through the target i shoot with my recurve (recurve gets 3/4 penitration) and my recurve killed an elk no problem. his pin gaps out to 40yds were similar. That...

    Arrow help.

    you can also build your strike plate out to make it further from center shot to except a weaker shaft. that would make it easier to achieve higher foc. and give you more options. for the money i stayed with .246 Inside diameter shafts so i could use GT 100gr brass inserts.

    Boot Dressing/Glue/Oils wtf

    chromium tanned leather vs oil tanned leather is one reason for the discrepancy between using oil based vs wax based treatments. our local mountaineering store owner explained that the different leathers have different needs. the oil tanned stuff needs the oils replenished to maintain its...

    Puffy Jacket Showdown

    not as warm as some, but for $29.99 give the COSTCO "Gerry" brand 650+ down jacket a shake. could pick up a matching vest for like $20 for a bit more warmth
