    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    My state went from slug only to straightwall rifle a few years ago. Its surprising how many guys were happy they could finally use their .270 or 30-06.

    Tips for getting a steady shot in the backcountry.

    Since I started using a tall bipod mounted to my rifle I find seated shots much easier. Instead of holding my forend and sticks I pull my left arm into my body and support my right elbow on my knee. Or I use my pack as a rear rest and use my left arm to steady it. Not having that left arm out...

    .300 Win Mag 8.5 twist Bullet Recommendation

    If the 8.5 twist shoots the bullet well your not wasting it no matter what weight. Choose the construction you like and try different weights and brands. I killed a cow elk this year with my 300wm 1 in 8 twist with a 165 gr ttsx. She didnt ask what I shot her with.

    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    I shot 2 does last year with the same weight accutips out of my 20ga at the same distance. Both hit directly in the heart. 1st doe ran 80 yards and sprayed blood like crazy. The 2nd doe ran 30 yards without a drop. Lesson learned? Sample size of 1 doesnt tell the whole story. If you feel like...

    Do you hunt from home?

    I feel better hunting sleeping in my own bed at night. I enjoy hunting more when I am staying out and really immersed in the experience. I do both when I can and enjoy both ways.

    Leica Geovid R vs Leupold BX 4 Range

    If you dont really need the rangefinder you may be better served getting regular binos. Better glass for much less money. Even non hunters enjoy nice binos. Only hunters and golfers enjoy rangefinders

    You can check with a broker like hunt nation or world trophy adventures. They have agents you can talk to that will help find the right fit for you.
