    What lighter arrow for hunting?

    OP, it's very reasonable that you'd like to shoot a lighter arrow than the FMJ. It's in what I'd call the heavy GPI class of compound arrows. To get a lighter weight, you'll want to focus on all the arrows mentioned above with 1-2 GPI less than the FMJ has. Some good ones already mentioned...

    Cuben/ Dyneema tents longterm?

    I had a camo DCF Zpacks triplex for a few years and it did great for 30-40 nights. One small tear caused by a sharp piece of gear, but the material is so easy to patch. Very good shelter for the rain we get in PNW and I liked how it didn’t really have they classic “tent” smell the way silnyon has.

    RokStok

    T1x compatibility was brought up early (back on page 3-4), but I haven't seen any comments since (could have missed it). Will relief cuts on the T3x Rokstock allow folks to swap in a T1x? Or should we expect to do a little filing for fit? I have a T3x now, haven't looked under the hood on a...

    Sold Browning Maxus II Sporting, 30" barrel, NIB

    Gun sold locally last week... I'll update the prefix here. I hear you on the longer barrel. I actually got it to test some dedicated 30" autoloader duck guns. The sporting model is the only auto Browning makes in a 30" barrel stateside these days. After testing a few, I chose a Beretta A400...

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    The 12 gauge is still the easiest and most common duck gun for lots of reasons stated here plus more. In current production guns, the Beretta A400 Xtreme and A400 Xcel are top contenders. The Franchi Affinity is a neat little gun if your length of pull fits their standard stock length. Their...

    Best Pheasant/Grouse/Family Dog

    I'm a Boykin guy, mostly because I'm originally from South Carolina and wanted a little nod toward home while I'm living out here in Oregon. Mine is 5 years old and has been a good bird dog and even better family dog as we had two boys. She sleeps in bed with our 3 years old and is so tender...

    Son’s first shotgun

    What's your budget? What's your use case? I assume some clays, a little upland or waterfowl, and maybe deer or turkey? Either the Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 in 20 gauge would be a good start in all those cases. Both are built with rather universal dimensions and shoulder naturally for...

    What meat grinder do you use?

    Vollrath #12 1 HP commercial kitchen grinder. It's a beast, but expensive. I just looked at prices and their #22 model (seems equivalent to Weston and might be made in same place) looks like a bigger grinder for less money. The Vollrath grinder is well-designed and high-quality piece. At my...

    RokStok

    Does anyone have a measurement from grip to trigger on the current Stocky's VG Tikka stock? I'm reading it's long, but I've got big hands and long fingers so curious if it'd be a comfortable fit compared to the newer, shortened dimensions on the Rokstock.

    Learn to shoot from your weak side...

    This is a good skill to have with a rifle or shotgun while turkey hunting with an optic. I shoot left-handed, but have killed a few deer and turkey right-handed over the years because as the OP rightly pointed out it's easier to make a timed, short move with your firearm than move your whole...

    The last of the meat in the grinder?

    I like the bread trick. You're on you're way to making meatloaf then! I've got a big 1 HP Vollrath grinder and usually give the tube meat to my dog. Got to share the love with her.
