    3 fletch or 4 fletch?

    I tried 4 fletch but ended with a strong helical 3 fletch with the AZ EZ mini fletcher and got the same gain of stabilization with 3 vanes. I noticed an increase in accuracy at distance as well especially with cross winds. I shoot both mechanical and fixed blades the same.

    Are you thinking about taking the plunge to the quilt life? This thread may

    I have been looking at them for a while as I am broad shouldered and a side sleeper. Most of the time I never zip up my bag anyway so I was thinking a quilt would be the ticket. I have no problems with my skin touching the air mattress as it is doing it all the time in my sleeping bag anyway...

    Archery gloves

    I saw one of the old muffler style around the waist catch a bow string at full draw and not only did the archer not get the buck but the cables jumped off the cam and as one could imagine it didnt work out to well for the bow. I have always just used cheap wool gloves as I can shoot with them...

    Let's talk camo for turkey

    Even when hunting with a bow without a ground blind it seems camo doesnt really seem to matter and as mentioned its all about the movement. The best to my eyes seems to be the Kings Desert or Mountain shadow. I typically just go with whatever I have for deer hunting except I will always use a...

    Esbit Stove

    I still have mine and it comes in handy and yes, I typically use two of the larger fuel tabs to get water really boiling. They also do stink a lot. I use mine more with sticks because of the odor. I have also used cotton balls with Vaseline. Cheaper and less odor than the tablets and a heck...

    Bipod Shootout

    I would like to see a good review with Atlas as well as the knock offs too. You see quick reviews on youtube but nothing with bigger rifles loading the pods and seeing how well they hold up. I cant afford the Atlas and its looking like another Harris for me.

    To Brake or Not to Brake?

    I love to shoot the big bores braked but I too see a suppressor in my near future.

    Trump on Public Lands

    I am actually warming up to him a little. He has a strong business background which I think this country needs so we dont continue to sell off to China. He has a very favorable stance on firearm ownership, conceal carry and hunting. I think he will do a better job of leading our military...

    The "Elk Playbook" is it worth it ?

    Very much worth it. Paul is a great guy and very talented. The playbook is really well done. You will enjoy it.

    stabilizer and fall away rest suggestions

    B-Stinger for stab. I love it! I use a Ripcord Code Red. I also really like the reliability even in sub zero temps. I have shot this rest in -20F without an issue. Its also very quiet. The -20F shot was standing in the snow in pure white at a herd of deer at less than 15 yards. They had...

    Gold Tip Hunter Pro

    I tried them in 340 vs Beman 340 vs Easton Axis. All arrows cut the same and all where 340's. I wouldnt go back to the Gold Tips as they shot like knuckle balls where the Beman and Easton shot perfect. I ended up sticking with the Axis as they performed better at distance with cross winds...

    Savage 11 - why not?

    I have the Savage 16 Bear Hunter with the Accutrigger and Accustock. It also comes with a on/off muzzle brake. I love the gun. Very accurate and not much recoil for a 300 win mag. Also extremely easy to modify. I will be replacing my bolt handle soon. For about $55 I can replace the handle...

    Zen-ray Spotter

    Never looked through a spotter but my Zen Ray binos are really nice and I wouldnt hesitate to get another set. Much better than my buddies leupolds.

    .308 vs 30-06

    When you say long range shooting and elk hunting I am wondering if you are also planning on long range elk hunting. If thats the case I would look at a different caliber. Even long range shooting in general I would look for something different. The .260 and 6.5 CM will do fine on elk in close...

    One ELR Elk, 1583 yards and One LR Elk, 940 yards

    I love this for 2 reasons. First, I aint exactly going to blow off the mountain but I might be first in line at the buffet. 2 I have recently got into Long Range Hunting and have a lot of respect for those committed to it. To me, the hunt starts like at least a couple of years before you...

    Semi guided, drop camp or diy

    Im going to watch this thread as I have the same question. I can afford the time or money to hunt every year. Maybe every 5 years and dont have the luxury of being able to summer scout either. I hope to have 2 weeks of PTO for next year and looking at doing an elk or elk/mule deer combination...

    Browning or Kimber

    I was looking hard at the Tilkka but went the Savage route as I wanted a 300 win mag and knew I needed to put a brake on it. Tikkas are a great rifle with a very smooth bolt. My Savage is a Bear Hunter that has a brake on it as well as an Accustock which seems to be a step up from the other...

    185 vs 210 vld for 300 win mag

    Im going to be trying the berger 215's as well as the new Hornady e tips to see which one my gun likes better. I have no problem single feeding my long range rounds. So far all I have shot is factory 180's just for the brass and barrel brake in. Speaking of brakes, my rifle is braked and...
