    Meindl Vakuum vs comfort fit hiker

    Hate to resurrect an old thread, but did you go with the hiker? I have had both the hunters and hikers in my cart and I’m not sure what to go with. b vs b/c stiffness, but all of that is relative and I’ve never owned Meindls. Any advice?

    Meindl Comfort Fit Hiker vs Hunter

    I have a low volume foot with wide forefoot and skinny heal. Wides feel nice on the toe but are usually sloppy everywhere else. I think I’m going to go with Comfort Fit Meindls. 75 percent leaning toward the hiker but may pre-order the uninsulated hunter. Anybody have experience with the...

    I picked up my first bow.

    I’ve been shooting a bit almost every day in the garage, but I think I tweaked it a few days ago and made it worse today. Probably just sore and I need to build up some muscle.

    I picked up my first bow.

    I brought it out again and wasn’t getting as good of groups as last time. I noticed it felt weird when I was drawing and I tightened up some screws that were coming loose. I’m not sure why I wasn’t shooting as well, even at 20 yards. My left shoulder is really hurting and i wonder if my form...

    I picked up my first bow.

    A family member just bought 40 acres on the central coast. I’m hoping I can hunt it. I grew up in Santa Barbara county.

    I picked up my first bow.

    im really stoked to get into it. I started hunting as an adult and am really a small game guy. I love squirrel and rabbit hunting. Im hoping the early seasons will let me get just as into deer. Im really enjoying the bow so far. I’m shooting around 7-10 yards in the garage. I have to use my...

    I picked up my first bow.

    Awesome thanks for the recommendation. I definitely overdid it my first time out. I probably shot 75-100 arrows and was sore the next day. The bow is at about 60lbs. I’ve been shooting about 10-20 a day since at very close range to get my muscles used to it and practice my release and follow...

    I picked up my first bow.

    I catch myself flinching a bit. No idea why, but it’s like learning to shoot a rifle all over again.

    I picked up my first bow.

    I need to read about follow through or watch some videos. Not really sure what follow through looks like. I forgot to take your advice and broke an arrow shooting groups so I moved onto shooting the different squares. Today is also day 2 ever shooting a compound bow, so I started getting a...

    I picked up my first bow.

    I feel like I got it pretty dialed in at 20 yards. Still working on 30 but this is my second day with a bow and I can’t tell if it’s me shooting a little low or the sights. Here’s 30. I took a break after shooting the middle target and then shot two more at the top.

    I picked up my first bow.

    Yeah the areas I squirrel hunt are pretty thick and I can only think of a few times I’ve seen squirrels farther than maybe 100 yards. I’ve got 5-7 in my garage. The guys at the shop said most people go shoot them at the beach. I’m on the north coast. We have family on the central coast we...

    I picked up my first bow.

    Im planning on deer hunting with the bow. Archery seasons start early July here in CA and with an archery only tag I could hunt down south in A zone when we are visiting family and up here in B zone when we come back. I may have some access to private land, but still hoping the national forests...

    I picked up my first bow.

    Hey guys, I just picked up a Bowtech Carbon Zion DLX package. I’m stoked. I’m mostly a small game hunter. I like hunting rabbits and birds, and squirrel hunting is probably my favorite thing in the world to do. I have been trying to get into deer hunting for a few years, but I’m a teacher...

    Sold Vortex Diamondback HD 8x42 with Harness

    I bought these last fall. I used them on one day hike, one or two squirrel hunts, and one overnight deer hunt. I may have taken them out on a couple of other day trips that I’m forgetting, but they are pretty much like new. Always kept in an AGC harness. I don’t think I ever used this harness...

Not a hunting knife, just a rare Bushcrafter. These came stock with natural, green, or black micarta. This one was a custom option...
