I tried both last year and went with the SF. I preferred the zeiss glass, and the ergonomics were just amazing. So much so that I looked through some NLs and couldn’t handle the feel of them, and I still preferred the SF glass. I know everyone says look through both, but my vote would still be...
I read this thread after getting victories. They’re so great tho I’ll take a chance with a warranty issue. I have heard some great things too from people who have dealt with them
I’ve never went for gator but I’ve shot gator gar at really low weight, like 25# and it’s punched through the skin fine. And their skin is insanely tough. Fiberglass bowfishing arrow and whatever tip they recommended for gators should work with whatever weight your bear is.
Good luck!! That’s...
If you’re going to glass, pull over. If you’re going slow looking for animals, watch your mirrors.
I am friends with a lot of ranchers and that is their biggest complaint. Come over the hill pulling a loaded stock trailer and someone is parked in the road glassing.

They are looser than an ankle fit rubber boot like lacrosse, they don’t quite snap in like those do. That being said I love my xtratuffs, and the overwhelming alaska favorite I’d say. My brother in law lives/grew up in Alaska and until a couple years ago he knew no different. I remember him...

I have one through them and another 2 on the way. Everything went smooth with mine but I did reach out a couple times with questions and it was tough to get a hold of someone. My in laws live in Sioux Falls so I normally just stop in person. I think they’re pretty short staffed customer service wise
I had a feeling i would have punched through with it.. I killed a bull with a kudu the next year and quartering toward me it went in behind the shoulder and broke the opposite back leg. They’re awesome heads
Bull
40 yards
31”/520 grain arrow/70#
Rage hypodermic….
I popped over a hill to a bull bedded at 40. I had on a 2 blade kudu broadhead but got sketched out shooting that far because my bow hadn’t tuned great so I swapped to a rage and hammered the shoulder. I chased him 5 miles until he...
