Monkey tails?
There are what appear to be 3 clusters of eliminated buttons,with shrink tubing over them. On each end of the string. -
Monkey tails?
Hey all. My new Halon 32-6 doesn't have any monkey tails on the string. Not a lot of room for any actually. Should I make an effort to get them on there,or just wait till we need a new string and add them then? -
Rooting around in the goodie box.
I was getting the new Halon dialed in today. Found this baby in the excess archery stuff. Ran this old girl hard. 3D shoots, indoor league in the winter. One of their earliest models I believe. An oldie but a goodie. -

Halon. Mistake?
Hey all. I found a Halon 32-6 in a shop clearing out their Mathews line. Been intrigued by the model since its debut. Seems like the time to try one. Now. In light of the latest flagship models,has the Halon's ship sailed? Test drove the Vertix a couple weeks ago. Hard to say anything bad about... -
HUNTING RELEASE
Went down that road myself. The Cascade did help. When I was shooting 300 +/- arrows a week,and 3 3D shoots, I got the panic so bad I nearly had to quit shooting completely. I ended up shooting fingers one winter league to break the curse. I know it's not relevant to the OP's question,but I'm... -
Max range with fixed pins.
Being that I hunt western PA woods,40 yards is a long shot. But,when I shot IBO, I ran all fixed pin rigs. As mentioned, you can get creative with pin placement. It can get crowded in some sight housings. Between 60 and 80 yards is doable. I use to have a big balloon shoot at my range every... -
Tikka Accuracy Issues
Ah the Holy Grail. Dead solid reliability. At the tail end of my bench rest shooting, folks were " Freezing " scopes. Immobilizing the internals with various injectable mediums. Then mounting in some precision adjustable hardware. Still not perfect. There is no practical hunting application... -

Gander Outdoors Tikka T3X Lite Stainless for $498
Crap. Called one of the closer Ganders today to check it out. The feller there said there was a 15% discount on stainless. Not quite as appealing as that price. I did hear someone in the background tell him about another price cut,on a different color tag, of 40%. That's more in line with the...- TwoTikkas

Multiple Tikka Owners: Which Caliber has been most and least accurate for you?
Of the 13 or so I've owned,the best were a 270 Win I currently have and a 7 Rem mag I don't. Don't ask. I do stupid chit with regularity. The least accurate was a 338 Win mag. Second place goes to a 30/06. Bear in mind, the bad ones were MOA. The best will easily do 1/4 MOA. Shooting in the... -
Tikka a safe rifle?
Yes I did. Smarted a bunch too. Still primarily Tikka in the gun safe though. After that I don't worry much about a blown primer or the like. I still can't believe I did that. Stupid stupid stupid. Chit you do when you are in a hurry. -
Tikka a safe rifle?
Here is a pic of the 280 Remington fired in the 7 Rem mag T3. Not enough material to complete a fire forming. -
Tikka a safe rifle?
Not completely. I was peppered quite nicely above and below my glasses with brass and I assume powder. There is no safe place behind any rifle with a complete case rupture. Trust me. I have gone all but completely Tikka in my safe. Still use my Remington based semi custom 280 AI. I trust... -
Tikka a safe rifle?
I've posted this before,but it warrants repeating. Broke a cardinal rule one range session. Two types of ammo on the bench at one time. I was working between two rifles,and had two identical ammo boxes open on the bench. 280 Remington and 7 Rem mag. Both with red tips. Well being in a hurry,the... -
Which Rifle build for Spot and Stalk Colorado Hunting
Mcseal2 makes a good point. Ballistic reticles work. And fast. Here are a couple confirmation shots before mule deer hunting last fall. Put the load in my phone app. Tweaked the 100 yard zero. Then confirmed some drops. Easy peasy. 280 AI. Leopold VX3I Boone and Crocket. 400 yards. Second... -
