    Cold weather stand gloves

    I boughts some Manzella gloves that allow for a release to come through today. I will buy chemical warmers and either try my jacket packets or most likely buy a hand muff of some kind. I'm done with freezing hands. My hands still tingle and I've been back for 5 days. Thanks for the ideas...

    Thumb release or index finger

    Evan, I have also found that my peep site is now tow high on my string by changing my release and anchor points. Is that something that you would expect? Matt

    Thumb release or index finger

    Evan - back from my hunts and starting to make changes. I have always placed the tip of my nose on the string. Is this a bad practice? I can't tell from your above photos if your nose is off the string. I ask because of your statement below that picture of keeping your face off the string...

    I too have a QAD rest. It has been a awesome rest. I have heard about the problems with freezing temps and that type of drop away rest. Been lucky so far and have not had a failure. I will have ro choose my next rest carefully. Matt

    Stand hunting

    Ravenwear rings a bell for some reason. Will check it out. Thank you Larry. Goober - Gray Wolf sounds perfect. Love the idea of a small business making clothing for a individual. I'm somewhat of a ounce weenie, but when it comes to hunting whitetails from a stand comfort is more important...

    Cold weather stand gloves

    I have thought about the hand muffs. I think something with windstop and chemical hand warmers might work. I have used one called the Firepod the last two seasons that are rechargeable. The charge lasts maybe 2hrs and they never really get warm. The problem is they lack in retaining the heat...

    Stand hunting

    NEhunter - I have started to look at the heater body suit and warm bag. I think the warm bag may be made in the US. I was thinking that I could use my existing clothes and add one of those bags. Have you used one in the past? How did go?

    Stand hunting

    Thanks Shane. I have looked at those gloves before. I can't seem to get the feel I want while holding my bow and even more so my release hand. I do wear the spindrift jacket and it is warm. The biggest problem last weekend was the dang wind. 0 and still feels a whole lot better than 18 with...

    Cold weather stand gloves

    What do you guys use for cold weather gloves while stand hunting? Hands froze yet I can't stand to wear gloves. Is there a combination or glove out there that has worked well for you and your release? I have not found one yet. Thanks, Matt

    I'm back from my S. Dakota hunt. Blue Tongue hammered the herd up there. No tags where punched. I did though manage to freeze once again. Third year and I still have not figured out what system to use. This year it was below zero with the wind for two of the days. Froze my tail off. Plus...

    Super down vs primaloft

    I have been programmed to think down is a no no for hunting. These new down products fro KUIU have got my attention. Worried about durability and how to clean when soiled. I also assume these are not to be used as outerwear. The pants look awesome for treestand hunting. Who is ready to...

    Giants!!!!!!!!

    Though the Rockies are my team I am happy the run the Giants went on. Growing up in Reno my Dad would take me to Giant and A's games. The Giants where Dad's team and he would always have the game on the radio as we worked on the grounds. Dad passed away this June. Found myself crying...
