    Garmin sight!

    Range finders were the best thing to ever happen to game animals since the invention of a sharp stick so they didn't have to be bludgeoned to death anymore.

    2018 new Sitka stuff

    Im really interested to see what the Apex hoody is. I didn't see the Jetstream Jacket on any of the pages, Are they going to be offering it in a tall? if so that is an instant buy for me. But they have lost their damn minds with the prices of those waterfowl waders. I don't know a single guy...

    Really Right Stuff Tripod

    This may not be a popular opinion here, but I think the outdoorsman legs are massively over priced for what they are. There is no doubt they are well made, and outdoorsman is a great company and their heads are second to none in my eyes. But there are a lot of tripods out there just as good or...

    Grand Junction Co

    I was offered a position in Grand Junction Co. I know the hunting is great in the state, but I’m more concerned with the grand junction area. I’ll be making around 60-65k a year for reference. Any info about the area, experiences, and such would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    First Lite follows suit .....

    I think this is a very very good point. I have never seen a store carry First lite in my area until this last year, and what they had was pathetic and over priced compared to other outlets. We just got a sportsman warehouse and it carries Sitka. first and only dealer I have seen carry it since i...

    dslr

    You should at least step into the G85 or GX85 if your looking for something smaller as it has IBIS. Which makes a huge deal in regards to video, unless your going to run a gimbal. Its 4k as well if that is your thing. Has a Flippy screen and there is no shortage of lenses available in the micro...

    Best company for photos

    For canvas the image quality probably wont be a huge difference between all of them, Although their color rendering can be different and can make a pretty good difference. Also if you have any black areas with detail I would bump the exposure up +.2-.3 ev as canvas doesn't have the tonal range...

    FL sawtooth vs halstead review

    The sawtooth looks more fitted through the chest and down to to the hip, is this true? As the Halstead seems to go from the chest straight down and not become any more fitted in the midsection. I really liked the extra length of the Halstead compared to other FL I have.

    Any big guys fit into kuiu?

    Im basically the same size as desk jockey and minus an inch in height. I think the Attacks are the best pant on the market, for anything really. the cut has changed a tiny bit from canada to china but i size up to 40's for a little extra wiggle room in the thighs. with that said at 6'6" your...

    Peak Design Capture Clip on Kickstarter - Last Day

    Technically nothing but Peak Design is a pretty well known company in the photography industry so people will get what they paid for, but many a kikstarter has gone tits up and left the donors with nothing. The Lucy drone is probably the most recent and most costly failure I can think of...

    We need to educate and get out in front of this stuff!

    This is the biggest pile of dogshit I have ever seen on this sight. Stop interacting with people and displaying yourself as a "hunter" your not doing any of us any favors. say nothing and walk away, as your soaking bridges in gasoline that others given the chance may actually be able to...

    Canon's Alpha Lenses

    First what body are you planning on putting on it? Second, I really really doubt anyone on this forum has used that lens, I've seen one, in a glass case at a photo store, but that lens is in another tier of photography, even for professionals. you will be hard pressed to find anyone with a lot...

    Sitka color retention

    That is much more of what I would expect to hear from them. I have had nothing but EXTREMELY good interactions with them. so I was very surprised when you posted their first response.

    SG 3300 or 5900

    I have the 3300 and feel like the R3 is a much much better version of it. The little sleeve pocket on the bottom, the zippers all the way down, and the small amount of molle on the back.

    Sitka color retention

    You contacted Sitka about it and that was their response? I’ve got some of their stuff that’s older then 4 years and not having had that issue. I assume you take care when washing as I’ve seen things bleed and other stuff in the wash end up looking like that.

    Big plug for black ovis. Huge disappointment with first lite

    First lites sizing is an absolute cluster at this point. I’ve got quite a bit and have had even more at one point. Not a single piece fits like another, not one. Llano XXL... good fit, little tight through the chest Chama XL, dimensions are good, again little tight in the chest, ridiculously...

    Streamline the Classifieds?

    This exactly. Its rare I ever NEED anything, but still doesn't keep me from skimming the classifieds daily for those "great" deals. I never bothered to do that when it was tested the other way.
