    Neck shot ethics

    I shot a white tail doe in the side of the neck. .243 wirh 85 gn Nosler Partition. Now I will admit that maybe I didn't make a great shot. I was young and excited but I didn't like the results. She dropped but she was no where near dead. Every other ungulate I have shot with that same...

    We could almost have our own Rokslide soap opera.. just needs a catchy title.

    Return of the a Achilles tendinitis

    Thanks! I've been doing the world's greatest stretch daily while I wait for my coffee to brew. I didn't like it at first but now I love it. So the doctor told me absolutely nothing more than walking or light toe raises. He just wanted rest, ice, and meloxicam and it wasn't working for me...

    Exo Gear yearly sale details?

    I asked about the sale in the Exo backpack thread. No mention of percentage but they were thinking about rokslide early access. Would be most dope if it comes through that way.

    Budget Rifle for Western Rookie

    Just shoot your .243 and spend the money on gas, glass, and ammo. I still prefer my little .243 to anything. 85 gn Nosler Partitions have anchored every animal I have shot with it. If you absolutely must buy a new rifle then save up and buy a quality one you'll be happy with.

    Return of the a Achilles tendinitis

    I have no clue what's irritating it. It doesn't get irritated during exercise, only a couple days later. 2 days ago I was doing step ups, controlled descents so that I was dropping hard onto that ankle. Been doing calf raises and presses. Lots of stretching. I don't have great ankle...

    Return of the a Achilles tendinitis

    I'm into this a year, my tendinitis is coming back and I don't know what to do. March/April the doctor confirmed its Achilles tendinitis. The stretches the doctor gave me aren't helping. He didn't act like he believed I was doing them. The stretches in the Mtn Tough app aren't helping. I...

    Which optics to upgrade first

    I snagged a Leica 2400R range finder. Hope it works well. I didn't realize it had a 2 second delay before it showed the angle compensated distance.. 😐 otherwise I was attracted to that 30 year warranty.

    Advice for a newbie

    I have successfully used every single level of call. Even an old Foxpro Model 48. They all worked fine. I still say it's best to buy the most expensive one you can justify. They do offer more or better features, they also have better volume. Windy east Idaho or eastern MT days it was...

    How much do new Tikka barrels speed up?

    I have shot 1 box of factory 143 ELDx. I don't have my notes in front of me but it was around 2635. I can verify this evening at home. The rest has been handloads. 143 ELDx over H4350. That load has stayed pretty consistent around 2650.

    Bore brushes?

    Nylon brush for me. Most everything I own now is Boretech since they won't react with their cleaners. I still have some Montana Extreme or what ever they're called.

    Oregon hunting guide killed by accidental discharge

    8 times out of 10, every time I have been flagged or seen someone flagged it's an older gun owner. Unsure if its complacency or just mental fog and the inability to think.

    Bino Harness Recommendation

    They both fold away from you. The marsupial opens and lays flat against itself. The FHF folds onto itself like an accordion. I have a hard time sometimes getting it to stay open and magnetized down. It likes to just stick up/out/around and do what ever it pleases. I always get a little...

    Which side arm makes most sence

    Why the G40 instead of a G20? Even the G20 is big and bulky when fully loaded. My little G19 is much easier to shoot and carry.
