    Hot New Woods Defense Pistol

    In order for my handguns to be effective I must carry them. I tried 44 magnums, 460 Roland, 45 ACP with Buffalo Bore 255 grain hardcasts and full size 357 magnums etc. For me I have settled on an Sig 365 XL and 13 rounds of Buffalo Bore 147 grain hardcasts. I mounted a light and a red dot on...

    6.5x284 Hunting rifle?

    I have a Cooper Backcountry 6.5x284 with 140 grain Berger VLD’s for deer, antelope and sheep. Very accurate and lightweight. Good luck.

    Ideal optic for coyotes

    For coyotes I like to set my scopes to 6 power. I leave it on 6 power most of the time unless in thick brush or trees.

    300 WM Scope Recommendation

    I like the Nightforce 2.5-10x42 NXS. Not too heavy, good for western hunting and with 300 WM.

    6.5 PRC for elk? If so how far?

    In my view not an elk cartridge for all round elk hunting. Timber, odd angles, etc will be problematic. Works fine on standing still broadside if you have time.

    Most Filling Health Bars?

    I like Quest bars, Wilderness Athlete bars and Wilderness Snack Bites when in stock seem to fill me up. Add nuts and raisins to make it more like a meal.

    Small form factor tourniquet

    RAT Tourniquet would fit in pocket or worn around waist and works on kids. From Amazon site, The Rapid Application Tourniquet System (R.A.T.S) is the fastest tourniquet on the market and is used to stop massive hemorrhaging due to trauma. The R.A.T.S. uses a solid elastic core of...

    TAC driver vane 2.25 vs 2.75

    Four fletch TAC 2.25 have worked great for me with fixed blade SB broadheads. I do start off with perfect bare shaft flight with field tips first which really seem to help with BH's flight.

    Arrow penetration

    Yes, but I think only to a certain point. I never tried single bevels heads with my 425 grain builds. I think my FOC at that time was 11-12%. I thought I had built the perfect hunting arrow and several buddies followed along. The photo below is just one example of my frustration and by...

    Arrow penetration

    My biases are because of lost and wounded animals (elk primarily) which seems to get lost in this conversation about penetration. It is not that I didn't shoot a 400 grain arrow setup for years and well aware of its trajectory and their penetration. After much research and building the perfect...

    Arrow penetration

    If I understand your point it is that a 2" additional drop between a 450 grain and 705 grain arrow is your definition of reduced accuracy? If we both ranged the target at 60, but it was really at 65 the 450 grain arrow would be a killing shot low 7.5" and the 705 would hit 9.8" low or 2" lower...

    Arrow penetration

    Bump79, I do not see any loss of accuracy in heavy arrows vs light at distance in my own shooting, however maybe your results are different. I have never attempted to conduct a scientific test to see any changes other than my own ability. When I achieve perfect bare shaft arrow flight at close...

    Arrow penetration

    Another good video report is from DYI Sportsman on arrow flight and deer reaction time. Fact base testing is great to see what really happens and how much arrow speed beats a deer at what yardage.

    Arrow penetration

    Thanks JP, and hopefully everyone actual reads the Ashby 12 Penetration Factors and the supplemental 2021 and 2022 reports from testing in animal tissue. Arrow mass over 650 grains is the 12th factor and hopefully everyone realizes it moves up to about number three if heavy bone is encountered...

    Best Boots for Western Hunting?

    What season would be my first question? My system is uninsulated boots in early to mid season, insulated boots as weather gets colder or more stationary and pack boot in snowy wet conditions with removable liners I can dry out. You can also add toe or insole heaters to any boot as long as they...
