    Bowmar's beast broadhead

    It was worth opening this thread again this morning. Imagining cave men arguing about broadheads is so damn funny to me. Because you know they did!

    Why do we buy soft shells?

    @Macintosh Thread derail... but the fleece I'm referring to is something like a classic Polartec 200. To me the fabric is quieter, more comfortable, and less shiny. I understand why grid fleece should be warmer per weight, I'm just not sure I've ever noticed. I still have all the fancy brands...

    Why do we buy soft shells?

    I met some NWT guides that lived in their Kuiu Guide jackets. They wore it like I would wear a midlayer fleece. They loved them. More durable I guess and they weren't ounce counting. Do you guys really see a benefit of grid fleece over old school soft fleece? I never have. I still own some grid...

    Sitka Stratus

    Mid 40s without wind. I'd add a warmer top under the Fanatic vest and a warmer pair of pants for most mornings in November.

    Sitka Stratus

    For pants I use Kuiu. Attacks or Guides earlier in the season. Proximity when it gets cold. I love the new Proximity pants.

    Sitka Stratus

    This. I hunt SE Kansas from a tree. So probably not far from OP. If you can only own one Sitka piece for bowhunting, buy the Fanatic vest. I would wait until the Sept. 9th for the new gear drop. You may be able to get EVII on-sale or buy the new pattern. I do own the Stratus jacket. It's not...

    Leica CRF Pro Rangefinder

    My replacement CRF Pro shipped today. I'll report back if the display is brighter on this one.

    Leica CRF Pro Rangefinder

    Sill nothing on my replacement unit. I see stores that have them in-stock now. I'll call tomorrow. It seems ridiculous they can't give me an ETA.

    RokStok

    Trouble free zeroing. It only took 0.3 mil up going from factory to Rokstok. I haven't shot in a while as I'm archery focused near term, so there could be form inconsistency there. I couldn't use my ear muffs with the new stock. I had to squeeze in those orange ear plugs. Is this common? Maybe...

    RokStok

    Shipping notification! Tikka, #3, spartan. 12/21 order. 12/29 paint change (yep, one of those guys). I was never in a hurry. All good vibes. Excited to see it in person. Maybe even shoot.

    Maven rs1.2 mil in stock

    Gotcha. Thread derail, but I'm assuming the new NF owners didn't know. No need to respond to this. I can look it up myself. I still hope to pickup the RS1.2. I'll sign up for the emails, maybe that will help next time.

    Maven rs1.2 mil in stock

    I don't understand this reference and certainly wasn't trying to stir up controversy or drama. As a business owner, I have no issue with Maven or their forecasting. I was only adding to the conversation. I also like my Nightforce and Trijicon scopes. I post on Rokslide. I don't follow other...

    Maven rs1.2 mil in stock

    Same. I read somewhere, likely this forum, that Nightforce may be discontinuing the NXS line and announcing a replacement at SHOT. Maybe we will get a true unicorn for 2025 hunts.

    Maven rs1.2 mil in stock

    I'm starting to think Nightforce will offer a better reticle option before I get my hands on an RS1.2. And honestly, I've never had a problem hunting with the Mil-R.

    Swarovski NL Pure 14X52 Tested and Reviewed

    I believe that has already started. 99% of my usage with the SLC 15 is on a tripod in my living room looking at cattle and coyotes. I'm telling myself I really don't the upgrade!

    Swarovski NL Pure 14X52 Tested and Reviewed

    Thanks for the great review Matt. As an SLC 15 owner let me just say...dang it.
