    Arrow diameters, weight and speed

    Well, I can honestly say I am super greatful you said something. I never would have looked into it if not. There is at least a couple years worth of threads out there saying stick to .204 for varying reasons. I'll just upgrade to a similar arrow. Thanks for saving me a huge expensive and...

    Arrow diameters, weight and speed

    I've been looking at the outset, insert type of thing Victory has going on thinking it looked pretty solid. Is there anything you know about components that I should be weary of?

    Arrow diameters, weight and speed

    If I shoot 552 grain XTs at 200 fps and switch to 552 grain vap tkos, same vanes, will the fps be the same with shaft diameter change? I ask because I want to make the switch but dont want to re-tune. Mostly because I dont have the tools to do it on my own, yet. I should probably mention, I'm...

    Worst thing to ever happen to elk hunting

    Western states should utilize Alaskas guide requirements. A friendly way to tamper the influx of disturbance. Not just the elk, the land out here as well. That is my biggest erk is scouting in May/June, or just camping for that matter, and by August there is trash in our wilderness and the...

    New Kuiu Pro Suspension and Pro Bag Review

    What is wrong with ME? How could I have missed that? Guess I'll sell and buy the bigger frame before switching the entire system

    New Kuiu Pro Suspension and Pro Bag Review

    Can anyone maybe help me? When did the "XTRA TALL" frame option become available? I've been using the "TALL" this year and the stays haven't been long enough to lift the load comfortably but I've just been dealing with it for this season. Is the xtra tall a new size option? Kind of bitter to be...

    Elk carcass, elk travel

    All good things. I'll head back in to the same place, maybe down a bit for the rut.

    Elk carcass, elk travel

    If an elk has been taken in an area and there is a carcass in this area where a bunch of elk are, will the elk move out of the area because of it? Or not pay any mind to it and remain in the same general area? The rut is beginning where I am.

    Backpack Shootout - 9 Backpacks Go HEAD to HEAD ***Updated 8/5/2020***

    I am. I'm six four and have noticed the exact same dilemmas with the load lifters. Exact same. The KUIU pack fits good enough for this season but next I might be working towards something that fits better. I had and sold a Badlands Summit last year. Maybe one year a pack will tickle me the...

    Backpack Shootout - 9 Backpacks Go HEAD to HEAD ***Updated 8/5/2020***

    KUIU system offers a lot of differing size options along with a fair price point to a pretty darn good pack. Makes it easier to "share" packs with my wife and kids. That being said, I still covet after other brands. 😖

    Tomorrow is here

    Funny you say that! I've been trying to get my frugal wife to spend on one for months now. Eberlestock, a KUIU harness n frame (so we could share bags of course 😉 ) even better cheaper one offs, she wouldnt do it. O get this, we stopped by the river on the horses to get the meat. We were so...

    Tomorrow is here

    We carried that down a thousand foot incline across about a mile over and around dead fall and over runoff cricks. After she talked to the ranchers I knew she was a keeper. But not until then! Haha, she is amazing. Ya know, I was thinking me solo hunting was going to end up keeping the...

    Tomorrow is here

    I left after work Wednesday and the hunt started Saturday. All I saw up until Saturday were cows. I heard a mix of chat between cows n a bull or two making noise. My camp was tucked away where I could see who walked by on the trail, if anyone and 4 hunters with 4 goats made it by and the rest...

    Tomorrow is here

    I leave tomorrow to start the 2020 elk hunt. This is my second year hunting after filling a mule deer buck tag last year I've put in majority of my effort for elk. Been up scouting several times and they have been where I've gone. Getting sleepless and ancy now, even as I right this. I have a...

    Who has ditched the trusted Nalgene bottle?

    I'm with you. They're killing us softly, until recently. Now they're trying to pretty hard really.

    Olicamp XTS

    Reviving it a little. Anyone used an olicamp XTS with a primus stove? I'm wondering if I get the XTS if i am going to have to get a new, lighter stove to accommodate it?

    Front Arrow Weight

    What billy said is what I've been thinking. But because of the conversation, I'm going to group the 200g field point vs the 100g/100g field/FACT weights at 50. If the thought is the shot will change beyond 30, I'll give it plus 20 to see. Hell, I'll even take pictures. Science 👍

    Front Arrow Weight

    I dont know why I didnt think about this earlier. I can throw these weights into the same 250 spine arrows. The dynamic spine remains the same. No worries sndmn11!!
