    Rifle Advice

    Copy, editing. Was trying to use a common saying ** you in particular to make the point at one person vs the guiding community at large.

    Rifle Advice

    In an attempt to stand my ground. I’m trying to be humble and objective. I feel like the way in which the advice was given was done so in a condescending manner. And self admittedly I have little patience for that If his advice was given in a matter to focus on rounds fired I would be more...

    Rifle Advice

    By stopping power; i generally mean the combination of 1) kenetic energy measured in ft/lbs. 2) i also understand that velocity plays a large part in the expansion of the bullet and helps transfer more energy/do more damage. I’m no expert in terminology. as a simpleton; this makes sense to me...

    Rifle Advice

    You too huh? So as a guide; do you not see the irony that your job was probably built around the premise of putting guys who have no business being in the mountains in the position to take shots they have no business taking so you can get paid? Commmeeeee onnnn. Sorry this is probably going to...

    Rifle Advice

    Then maybe you should have started with that line of thought by; recommending sometime closer to the 6.5 creed option and recommend I shoot the piss out of it for good measure. Its the way in witch you offered “advice” that has rubbed me wrong. To me this came off as the stereotypical mod who...

    Rifle Advice

    ** I should have clarified a bit more. I want to be able to shoot 600-800. This does not mean I will 1) roll up and think I can shoot animals at this distance on gear alone 2) given the opportunity I would automatically take a shot at this distance. I just don’t want to feel gear automatically...

    Rifle Advice

    .270 is great. Yea, we’ve had a lot of practice together, just not a lot in the past few years with my focus on archrey. And while the .270 is a good round, I’ve become more aware that the velocity drops around that 400 yard mark and the bullet may not expand optimally. And the Axis i’m...

    Oh, ok. Now you’re recommending that I learn to shoot. 👌

    Rifle Advice

    I rarely shoot from a bench. Have not shot the rifle much in the past few years. A lot of this is preparation for rifle elk tags in the upcoming years. I’ve leaned a lot of “fundamentals” from archrey. Trying to establish a good path to follow suit with the rifle.

    Rifle Advice

    Hey Ya’ll, hoping for a bit of advice on a rifle setup for hunting elk. Right now I have a Savage Axis 2 in 270. Its a fine gun for that 0-300/400 yard range. But I’d like to be prepared for longer shots in the 600-800 yard range with good BC. I like the idea of a higher BC setup because...

    Spot Hogg vs Black Gold thoughts

    Ohhh interesting. For some reason I was stuck that you can go from the bracket to the round bar. A la some of the nock on or s&s kits. I might just go that route; or buy a 5 pin version and keep both. I love the double pin for 3d but think the 5 pin makes more sense hunting.

    Spot Hogg vs Black Gold thoughts

    I’ve looked at HHA and passed. For me it is the SH or BG. I’m considering a 5 pin fast eddy. But also looks like I can’t convert the one I have to a 5 pin housing? I have the SH double pin that has a bar style mount coming off the pin housing. Looks like you can make a 5 pin a single pin for...

    Spot Hogg vs Black Gold thoughts

    Hey All, I’ve been a spot hogg guy for a while. Was using the double pin for a while. Really liked the vertical pin and sight picture. I also did quite a few changes to bow draw weights for a shoulder rehab and arrows weights. Loved that it took all of 5 minutes to set tape and shoot. I...

    Score this bull

    I love this thought process; face size as a reference. I always have a tough time finding a good reference point.

    Score this bull

    A bull I had the pleasure of chasing in 2020 in an Oregon OTC unit. Biggest elk I ever saw “on foot” in one of our encounters. Never saw him on cam in 2021,2022. Assume he was killed. Would love ya’lls thoughts on age and score. I’m a scoring rookie at best. I’d say he has decent mass, but...

    Hunting Buddy - Elk Colorado 2023

    No, over in Oregon. I’m in the same boat though, looking to hunt colorado in 2023, but would like to get in with a crew. I have plenty of hunting buddies who love to talk about doing a “big” hunting trip. But every year something comes up. Found myself two year in a row backpacking in solo...
