    Archery Interests

    I’ll take that. I practice as often as I can and don’t mind practicing in the wind and rain. At this point, I’ve gotten really good in wind gusts up to 30 mph at 25 yards. Holding steady and timing your release in those conditions is certainly not easy. Getting it wrong did cost me an arrow...

    Archery Interests

    I use Archer’s Advantage for tapes and arrow building now, but used OT2 previously. Both good programs to get your setup dialed in. I would personally like to see an article on how to compensate for cross winds on longer shots for hunting in the mountains. I try to practice in heavy winds...

    First Lite testing a hooded soft shell??

    I hope the soft-shell is a North Branch 2.0 with pit zips and a hood. The bibs are awesome mid to late season brush beaters than can really take a licking, but the jacket has no way to dump heat and the wind resistant properties are thrown out the window without a well designed hood. I’m going...

    Puffy jacket - hooded or hoodless?

    I run a hood on my puffy and rain gear. The hood on the uncompahgre is great for breaking the wind. I take the hood off my soft shells and just use the one on my Chama if I need a hood. When whitetail hunting, I only use my brimmed beanie and neck gaiter. I’ve never used the hood on my...

    Mystery Ranch MARSHALL questions

    You got a great price on a great pack. The first order of business is fitting the pack to your body. MR has a helpful video on their website and YouTube for that. After that, it’s time to organize the pack into how you use are going to use it. The bag can obviously carry a lot of gear for a...

    Custom hoyt

    So you plan to swap the cams with turbo cams right? I'd be really interested to see how that turns out.

    Sleeping bag temp rating - need advice!

    What’s better for backpack hunting, the Exped 9 or Xtherm? My insulated Klymit Static V isn’t cutting it for me and I am a cold sleeper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Custom hoyt

    I know, I tried buying 80lb custom limbs for my Carbon Defiant Turbo earlier this year. It's a real shame because I know they built Cameron Hanes a 90lb Pro Defiant Turbo.

    Hoyt Carbon Defiant Turbo help

    With a 28.5 inch draw, keep the cams you have. Take a couple turns out of the limb bolts and call it a day. What you are proposing would be spending money for no gain. You don’t lose anything turning down modern Hoyt limbs and some guys swear that you get better performance with turned down...

    Custom hoyt

    That would be a good medium ATA Carbon bow with good speed. It should make for a great hunting bow. I think it would IBO around 338 to 340 fps. It would be slower but more than likely smoother than a Turbo If you can pair the custom cams with custom 80 lb limbs, then it would be worth it in my...

    Sleeping bag temp rating - need advice!

    I’m 5’10” and 153 lbs. I have no insulation and can’t stay warm unless I’m moving. Last October I tried to do 10 days in a 20 degree down bag where nightly temps dropped to the high teens and low 20s. I froze my butt off the first night and double bagged with another 20 degree bag and was...

    Finding Hunting Friends

    Aside from my Dad, I don’t even try to find hunting partners anymore, I’m growing my own. My son is ten and I am teaching him to hunt like my dad taught me. When I hunt out west, my dad is my partner. When I hunt locally, I either go alone or take my oldest son. Weekend before last, I was...

    45 days of elk

    I watch every episode, some of them more than once. I don’t have cable, so I always check YouTube for new videos from Born and Raised Outdoors, Hushin, and Randy Newberg every night to keep myself entertained. I even learn a thing or two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to store at home?

    I have a spare bedroom closet that is dedicated to all my hunting gear. I have an extra wardrobe closet kind of thing that I store my miscellaneous gear in. Within those, there is no semblance of organization. I only have a vague idea of where my all my stuff is. Sent from my iPhone using...

    First Lite Uncompahgre Puffy Pant Review, by Jordan Budd

    I was thinking of pairing the Uncompahgre pants with my North Branch for still hunting late season whitetails here in MO. I hunt crowded public land and have the best luck hunting the late season when the weather is bitter cold and nasty. I do alright in my NB setup with two layers of merino...

    Need help selecting a bow

    You will always be the most accurate with a bow that fits you correctly and allows you to use good form. With that long of a draw length, I would recommend the following: Hoyt Double XL: max DL 33 Hoyt RX1 Ultra: max DL 32 Bowtech BT-Mag X: max DL 34 You could squeeze another 1/2 inch out of...

    First Lite Uncompahgre Puffy Pant Review, by Jordan Budd

    How do they fit? I’m a small in the North Branch pants and I reserve those for the late season. Can I layer these over or under the North Branch? I would like to be able to do both and be able to vent out with my North Branch as my outer layer for when it is cold, windy, and snowing...
