    Long range binoculars for Arctic Svalbard

    Thank you for your response! That makes sense to me. If you were forced against your will to keep one and sell one, which one would you keep?

    Long range binoculars for Arctic Svalbard

    Yes sir! I am very curious how these two match up in terms of real world low light performance. Obviously, the 32 will allow more light to the eye based purely on laws of physics. In real world low light conditions, is there something you would see with the 32 that you would miss with the 25...

    Elk Huntin’ Boots.

    Also, i got the gtx because I thought it sounded like a good idea. I now think that gtx boots are for very specific very cold and/or very wet environments. Leather lined are the thing for me 95% percent of the time living here in Colorado Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Compact Binos around $100?

    Agree with the others. For $100, I'd look at used porro prisms.

    I agree with everyone else about "wide." I'm a 5'7 165lb man-let and I will only buy a 25" wide pad and widest quilt available.

    Arrow build sanity check

    I got myself into a ton of trouble with those long inserts. I found that the insert length itself affected dynamic spine while bareshafting (it caused the arrow to act much stiffer due to less flex in the length of shaft). I'd focus on getting into your ball park total arrow weight with perfect...

    Iron Will Wide on Elk?

    Has anyone taken an elk with an Iron Will Wide version? I'm curious about the results (pass-through, etc)? What was your shot distance? Bow setup (draw weight, arrow spine, etc)? Pics? Thanks!

    ASAT Wool

    What is the sizing like? Normal fit? I normally wear "medium" in every manufacturer under the Sun. Sitka, first lite, Costco, etc I fit into everything just about right in their "medium." In the Black Ovis wool, I have to order about 2 sizes bigger to be "comfy." I have a "Large size" Black...

    Iron Will Outfitters Single Bevel Broadhead Review ***Updated 2/24/21***

    I've found the exact same thing with my recurve. I can change arrow rotation based on the "direction" that I twist my string. Counterclockwise string twist = clockwise arrow rotation in flight. Clockwise string twist = counterclockwise arrow rotation in flight.

    Highcountry Mule Deer Optic Setup

    Ive been reading all the mule deer killa books (robby denning, easton, schuh, long, etc) lately. They are all stroking a 7/8/10x 42 on the chest and a spotter. Seems like a 8/10x42 and a spotter is the magic recipe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
