    SpotHogg Pin Removal

    Green shows up the best in low light. Even in bright sun, my red pins are harder to use than green or yellow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lumbar back pain while sleeping?

    Here's how I sleep in the backcountry in 5 easy steps: 1) Use an insulated pad and inflate it until firm. If it is stupid cold out, use a z-pad underneath your inflatable for extra insulation. 2) Use a quality sleeping bag or quilt that is realistically rated for the overnight temperatures you...

    Field Sharpening Advice Wanted.

    I'm kind of like Muddydogs, I keep my Benchmade Contego folder in my right pocket for field use, a Leatherman Charge Ti in the left pocket, and a Buck Kalinga Pro for skinning and quartering in my kill kit. I carry a very small diamond stick for field sharpening and keep my blades sharp before...

    Stabilizer Question

    Do you plan on hunting with a quiver on or off? I always hunt with a quiver on and practice that way too. For me, I like a 8 to 10 inch front stabilizer with weights (varies by bow and feel) and a Tightspot quiver as a side/back stabilizer. So many people overlook the adjustability of the...

    Target Reviews/ Suggestions etc

    The block targets won't last very long for you with that kind of kinetic energy. You would be better served with a Rhinehart. Keep an eye on Camofire or give them a call. They've been having great deals on both brands lately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Target Reviews/ Suggestions etc

    For arrows with standard inserts and field points only, Spyderweb ST24. I have one and it rarely takes more than 2 fingers to pull an arrow. It is very durable and mine has stopped nearly 1000 arrows already in just one side after owning it for a month. My backyard range is twenty yards and...

    Goodbye Jared, (for now)

    May your deployment be quick, your service to our nation steadfast and true, and may the love for your family guide you safely home. Good luck and God speed. Amen.

    Sick after using Steripen?

    While running UV mutagenesis experiments in college, I could kill entire petri dishes full of bacteria with 15 seconds of exposure to high UV. Exposure to small amounts of UV will damage DNA while high amounts will destroy DNA and kill the cell. As a result, UV sterilization does work...

    FL Layering Tips

    For early season whitetail tree stand or ground blind hunting where it is 60 degrees or warmer, I wear just my Kanab pants and llano top. For 50-60 degrees, I add the llano bottoms. I keep my ASAT bowhunters jacket (think lesser quality Northbranch jacket with pit zips and a hood) in my pack...

    Mosquitos

    I use Sawyer's Permethrin on my clothes and Sawyer's Picaridin on my skin. The Picaridin goes on smooth and isn't greasy and doesn't smell. I just came inside from practicing with my bow in the backyard. I think it is definitely time to start slathering on the Picaridin.....them skeeters were...

    Finished my new bow

    Looks real good. With kinetic energy like that, you're going to have a heck of a time finding a target that will last. I'd recommend a Spyderweb for field points and a Rhinoblock XL for broadheads. That way you only have to worry about practicing for that moment of truth this fall. With a...

    Pants in the rain

    My FL North Branch pants are pretty darn water resistant. I don't know how waterproof they are, but they are my go to pant for rifle elk or mid to late season deer with any kind of inclement weather. They held up really well for me last year and I stayed warm and dry while still hunting...

    Bivy Shelter

    After trying the bivy thing, this is what I am upgrading too. eVent is some awesome material and this bivy has everything you could want and nothing you don't. The hoop ring on my Contour is not the greatest and quite frankly I'd rather have a tie out to something that doesn't fall on my face...

    Camo reality check, ASAT vs Fusion... again

    If FL does drop ASAT, I hope they give us advanced warning. FL is not cheap and there are a few items I still want to pick up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camo reality check, ASAT vs Fusion... again

    I certainly hope not. I am so heavily invested in FL ASAT that I might as well own stock in the company. I'm still holding out for an updated ASAT North Branch jacket with a zip off hood and pit zips and gloves that fit my small hands properly.

    Bivy Shelter

    I just started using a bivy and tarp last year and went the Slumberjack Contour bivy and Satellite tarp. I like the bivy very well for what it is and it can be used by itself without a tarp. I think the tarp is too heavy and you would be better off with a silnylon tarp rather than a heavier...

    Review: Spot Hogg's Fast Eddie vs. Tommy Hogg, by Les Welch

    Good review. I've been using a 5 pin Tommy for several years now and have come to love my Spot Hogg. While the elevation micro-adjust does make a click when pulled back or forth to unlock the yardage wheel, it gets broken in over time and does not make such a definitive click after a while...

    Permethrin

    I use Sawyer's permethrin on all my outer layers and use Sawyer's Picaridin lotion on my skin. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
