    Need help to "true" my chart...or should I bother?

    Now that you mention mirage, It was midday and there was definitely a good bit of heat boiling up in the glass. I will have to try again first thing in the morning and see if my POI changes.

    Need help to "true" my chart...or should I bother?

    Hello all, I have set my maximum hunting distance as 600 yards based on my group size but I need help with a drop chart. I don't have a chronograph so I guessed a velocity for the sterlok app, shot at 300 and 600 with the suggested drop, and was intending to adjust velocity from there to get...

    Best over under in the 1k range

    I got lucky and a guy at my church had a lightly used Browning Citori that he sold to me for $800. It's a 12ga and I wanted a 20ga but for that price I couldn't pass it up. Prior to getting that deal, I was looking at a TriStar Trinity. They seem to have pretty good reviews and are about $750.

    forum item for sale

    I take "hanging in the garage for a few seasons" to mean that A: he hasn't used it in a while and has no need for it any longer, and B: it speaks to how you can know that it is in "good" condition as it has been kept sheltered for a long time. Without seeing all of your correspondence, It really...

    Red dot sight picture (pistol)

    Like a laser? I have no experience with that but I zero my Trijicon RMR at 10 yards. Thats a realistic distance for a defensive gun.

    First Long Range Endeavor

    I have an Athlon Midas Tac and love it. Cranked on the dials a fair bit and has always returned to zero. Look up the reviews for it on youtube by a channel called "cyclops optics" or something like that. He mounts it to a bench top, zeros it on a small target, and then does the traditional box...

    Hunting Boots

    Don't get Merrells. I bought a winter pair two years ago and they were fantastic for a while. Warm and comfortable. But being winter boots, I only wear them for about 2-3 months each year. This year the stitching has busted letting in snow and cold air. They are essentially worthless at this...

    Concealed carry, how and what?

    You want to be able to get a full grip on the gun. A larger gun is far far easier to shoot quickly and accurately especially for a casual shooter. I carry a glock 19 which shoots great and conceals well. I do not wear baggy clothes and i'm only 5'11" 165 pounds and it hides just fine. I am...

    German LONGhaired pointer/Large Munsterlander

    My male is going on 10 also. I have searched Deutsch Langhaar and found some great articles on breed history but not much on temperament, drive, family life etc. Specifically, I'm comparing everything to my GSPs. What's your DK like compared to your GSP?

    German LONGhaired pointer/Large Munsterlander

    More so than a GSP? I have two of them and we have a blast. I suppose any breed is on the table and appreciate the Draht suggestions, they are a cool breed, but I have secretly always liked the long haired dog breeds (wife likes the shorthaired). I stumbled across DLs and thought they were an...

    Small Bear Taxidermy Ideas

    Maybe a small oval or circular bedside rug to step onto when getting out of bed or as a throw for the back of a chair. I'm going on my first bear hunt in May and I'm trying to decide what to do with one if I'm successful as all the options are going to be different cuts when skinning. I think...

    German LONGhaired pointer/Large Munsterlander

    My wife thinks Drahts aren't "cute enough". I bet if dropped an 8 week old wirehair in her lap she would change her mind though lol.

    German LONGhaired pointer/Large Munsterlander

    Hello, I own two GSPs and was thinking of adding another bird dog in the next year or two as my oldest dog insists on getting older no matter how much I try to stop him lol. I was curious about German Longhaired pointers/Large munsterlanders. I am not able to find a lot of info online and was...

    Idaho Spring Bear

    Okay, I'm purchasing my turkey tag for Iowa and choosing my season dates (3-7 day periods through April and first half of May.) I'm picking based off my Idaho bear hunt. I'd love a quick poll. What time should I do my bear hunt? Last week of April? First week of May? Does it matter between those...

    Bettendorf, IA...potential move.

    Hello, I live in Bettendorf. You said you are a rifle hunter but I'm going to assume you know we are shotgun or straight wall cartridge only, right? All the public land, except for one or two spots, is in Clinton County or Muscatine County 35-50 minutes to the north and west respectively...
