    Gaia GPS $ Increase

    I got stuck with the new Gaia bill earlier. I wasnt too excited about it, but bit the bullet anyways. Does anyone know how to port all of my waypoints out of Gaia to OnXx

    Moved from MI

    Congrats on the move. The mentality and atmosphere outside of Michigan is eye-opening. I never realized how angry and down-trodden everyone here is until I left and saw other places.

    Best bang for your buck hunts at every budget?

    I think kids have it made. Whitetail youth tag with a gun borrowed from dad might set them back $20-$25 bucks. Then he could shoot one off the front deck or walk out in the field to get one. Minus poaching, thats about as cheap as they get.

    Guys that drive a long ways to hunt, what are your less common(but important) pieces of gear/tools you're sure to keep in the truck?

    Wrap it in aluminum foil so theres no ingress for signal, then wrap it in tape. Easy to test with just the foil.

    I need to learn to bugle and cow call before September

    My first time bowhunting elk I taught myself how to use mouth reeds and a bugle tube on the 30 hour drive to western MT. Was i the greatest when i got there, nope. Did i call in elk, yes. The people i drove by on the highway probably thought i was going through a crisis in the truck, or...

    Which cartridge tikka .308 action

    I took some anecdotal evidence offline for what people were getting in fps from a 26" barrel. People said they could get 3200 fps from an 88eldm in 22cm. I also saw people saying they could get 3200fps from a 6mm with the 108 eldm. If i put this information into my Ballistics calc, using sea...

    Which cartridge tikka .308 action

    Pull off older barrel and screw on new barrel (prefit). Get go/no-go chamber gauges to verify that the chamber is correct and shoot it. There's a few more things to it, like assembly, but that's the basics of swapping in a new barrel with the same bolt face. Im starting to wonder if a new...

    Which cartridge tikka .308 action

    I'm looking at all the data and 22 cm vs 6cm are pretty close longer range. I'm thinking 22cm is more for a yote gun where you are caliber restricted. They seem to have similar recoil, similar 1k yard drop, but 22cm has more speed=less barrel life, less support component wise, etc, etc...

    Which cartridge tikka .308 action

    I acquired a tikka ctr in 308 a while back. It was used and looked like it could use a new home. I already have a CTR in 6.5 so i was thinking about just barreling this one in 6.5 as well, then i'll have a gun for the wife or anyone who wanted to shoot. It would save me from buying new...

    Density Altitude In Shooter App?

    So i made a profile with the information from your first post. Here is the drop table. I use this everytime instead of the solution page. The only thing i did different is change your sight height to 1.6". It seems to have solved your conundrum. Is this correct (sight height), for your weapon. I...

    Density Altitude In Shooter App?

    If your scope height is correct and your mv is correct and bullet is correct then the basic setup of the rifle seems to be off..... or, your scope is jacked. You can test the scope if you make a holding jig and setup a tape at exactly 100 yards. How are you acquiring your weather data? My...

    How did the 6.5 Creedmoor lose steam so quickly?

    Losing traction... so i shouldnt rebarrel this 308 to 6.5..... At this point i need a dart board with all the cartridges that will work in this action. Spin the dart board and throw at it blind.... and somehow itll probably land on 308. 🤣

    Density Altitude In Shooter App?

    I have run shooter for a long time. Based on your first post id say your sight height isn't correct. I can shoot my 6.5 under 1k yards without using da, without spin drift, but those do help farther out. When i only shot 500 yards and under i didnt touch my bc. I just ensured my velocity was...

    How do you pay for your gear?

    I schedule all my bills to come on the same day of the month. This lets me do a quick check of my account to see where i'm at and if I have the funds to purchase XYZ. If i know I have $2k in revolving bills due on the 25th, and I currently have $3k in checking I'll pass on buying something to...

    Do you 'test-drive' your new gear before the season?

    I test drove my wife before i married her, and i test drive all my gear. Id hate get in too deep with something and find out it doesnt do what i need from it. For coffee this year i'm gonna take caffeine/vitamin/electrolyte pills that my wife had laying around from something she signed up for...
