    Lesson Learned - TSA & Gun Cases

    Yep. I went through this garbage last year when I flew out of Salt Lake back to St. Louis. I didn't have any problems with TSA here in St. Louis, but the TSA in Salt Lake ransacked all my gear, swabbed everything down, and tried to reject my pistol case for being accessible. Luckily I had...

    Sight Help

    Instead of 10 yard increments, try 5. That will close up your pin gaps and make use of all your pins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are you a Backcountry Hunters and Anglers member?

    Yes. Public land is a dwindling natural resource that most Americans take for granted. The BHA does a lot to ensure that our public lands stay in public hands and that our kids will be able to enjoy the outdoors like we do now. I wish I had more money to give them.

    MR Cabinet or Pintler

    For what you are describing, I would recommend the Pintler. I have the Longbow which is the older generation of the same bag and use it for day hunts and overnighters. If I carry food in a dry bag between the bag and frame, I can easily get a whole weekend out of it. For anything longer, I...

    Beginner 101: Selecting an arrow spine to get started

    I don't like playing guessing games with arrows, so I use OnTarget2 from Pinwheel. You can get a free 10 day trial, try it out, and decide if you want to keep it. For now, if I were to guess that your draw length is 30 inches and draw weight is 60-65 lb, I would recommend a 330 spine arrow such...

    Christensen Arms Mesa first impressions and initial review

    They will take notice. There are three potential 300 WSM Mesa buyers in this thread alone. I'm hoping for next year....especially since I just blew my fun money on a Hoyt Carbon Defiant Turbo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best non custom mountain rifle

    Has anyone tried the Browning Hells Canyon Speed X-bolt. I was looking at picking one up in 300 WSM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Getting back into Archery- mechanical vs traditional 3 blade broad-heads?

    A good cut on contact fixed blade will always work whereas a mechanical is more dependent on having enough speed/kinetic energy and momentum to penetrate and deploy the blades. Most guys have enough kinetic energy and momentum to make a mechanical work on deer reliably with a well placed shot...

    Tommy Hogg 2nd Axis Question...

    I have a Tommy and this is how I do it since I don't have a bow vise. I use a 4ft carpenters spirit level and set the bow on its bottom cam on the floor or bench with the spirit level vertical and tight against the limb pockets. Adjust the two so that the carpenter level reads plumb. Check and...

    HIT insert feedback

    I've been using Easton Hexx arrows with 50 grain brass H inserts without a problem for two years now. I practice at least 3 times a week and have yet to break an arrow despite my mediocre skills and occasional misses into 2x6's at 70 yards. I don't trust outserts, HITS, or the like, so a H size...

    Cost no object synthetic UL bag

    If ounces count, I'd go with the EE quilt and store it in a 18L granite gear sil eVent compression dry sack. Use the sack to store your clothes as well and make it pull triple duty as a pillow and seat cushion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What's your must have item for 2017?

    Yep. My wife would message me in the morning and all night. The DeLorme InReach really helped put her at ease. It does take a while to get messages out sometimes, but as long as you keep it out with a view to the sky, it works. FYI...my wife has muscular dystrophy and last year was the first...

    What's in your backcountry First Aid kit?

    I carry an Adventure Medical 0.9 kit with an extra trauma kit. I keep it in my pack at all times since I use my pack to hunt by myself, hunt out west with my dad who is on blood thinners, or I'm hiking and camping with a bunch of cub scouts. Probably overkill for most people, but I once saw my...

    Anyone Ever Carry Two Complete Camps??

    I truck camp and carry a bivy camp on me with enough food for an overnight plus a day. My day pack set up is on the heavy side (27 pounds), but my Longbow pack handles it with ease. I just hate the idea of bedding down game and missing an opportunity because I was back at camp. Sent from...

    Any other uses for Dry Sacks?

    I use dry sacks to shove my clothes in and use as a pillow or seat cushion around camp. I also put all my food, trash, and dirty clothes in a dry sack and hang it from a tree. I haven't thought about using one as a game/meat bag, but now that you mention it, I have a large one that would be...

    $900 binos or bino/spotter combo

    Buy the best set of binos you can afford. A spotting scope is something nice to have, but no matter where you hunt, a great set of binoculars will always come in handy. FYI....This is how I am justifying my upcoming purchase of new binos to my wife, just gotta settle on what I want first.
