    Anyone have buyer’s remorse with a bow purchase ?

    Regret selling several, regret buying only one. Picked up an Elite Ritual 33 last summer. Never held or shot one. Got it setup and the bow tuned and shot great. I just couldn’t get used to the grip, we didn’t get along. Sold it and bought a Remedy. The grip is just different enough that we get...

    Arrow build question: 340 spine or 300 spine?

    I’m shooting 5mm Axis and FMJ 340s pretty much out of all my bows. Have some 300 FMJ for elk and moose. Ordered some Axis 300 to play with. Shooting 70# with a 27 5/8” shaft. Run a VAP footer on everything and wraps. Tuning the arrows have never been a problem. I’d rather be on the heavy side...

    Got one of the original Scott Mongoose with the strap to adjust the length between the head and wrist strap. It’s for sale, message me if you’re interested.

    Sorry, I don’t. What office does he work for? A lot of different places there.

    I need to talk trucks boys

    Looking at getting rid of my 2014 F250 with the 6.7 later next year. Wanting another F250 with the 7.3 gasser, hoping they have any issues worked out.

    Out of retirement

    Sounds like a good plan. I forgot to mention that I’m 61, so hopefully have a few more years.

    Out of retirement

    I spent 31 years with Illinois DNR and retired in 2019. Between the rollercoaster stock market, too much “together” time and flat out boredom, I’m going back to work in 2023. Looks to be a pretty good gig. Good pay, per diem for travel and flexible hours. Looking to pay cash for a new car and...

    Knee Pads for Construction

    Bought a set from LA Police Gear a few years ago, not sure the brand. They’re very comfortable and have held up great.

    Thumb release

    Then just do it. Give it some time and lock your old releases away. Stick with it, it’s worth it.

    Struggling to find western hunting partners

    Lost connection with my best hunting partner and friend a few years ago and then lost him completely 3 years ago. Started hunting out west 20 years ago with a guy I met through the RMEF. Good hunt , bad timing. The last 10-12 years have been solo. It’s a tough decision to make. You quickly...

    Blacks Creek Lumbar Pack

    Can’t speak about that particular pack, but I’ve hunted with the Jim Horn model for 15+ years. The layout is what I like most about it. Everything is pretty much at my fingertips. Only downside is the zippers are crap. The one on the main compartment only zips one way, for years. A week ago...

    375-325 WSM

    So why the up sizing? Is it just something different or is there a big advantage to a 35 or 375? I’ve got a 325 wsm and pretty impressed with the way it shoots. I know the 8mm bullets are not the greatest, but mine shoots the 200 grain partitions pretty darn well.

    Thumb release

    Target panic has nothing to do with the release that’s in your hand. It’s all in your head, literally. By switching releases, you’re just tricking your mind for a short period of time. Work on the fundamentals with a release that’s comfortable to you. Aiming and pulling through are a couple good...

    ElkNut App - Bad Timing!

    Guess what gets me, is was sold as a pay once, have it forever. Could even transfer to a new phone. Nothing like a restaurant raising prices, unless they raise them after you eat. Sorry Paul, we spent many hours together in my work truck and on long flights. I would have never known what a bull...
