I designed my own digiscope adapter for my razor 13-39 spotter and iPhone 13. This would work on any scope with a 43mm objective, and any phone with a camera placement similar to the iPhone 13.
It functions the same way the Ollin does, but you use your own preferred case, it’s a sleeker fit on...
This is a delorme inreach SE two way satellite communicator. This is still fully supported by garmin and is in perfect working condition, I’m just upgrading to a inreach mini.

I have two older 2015 Hoyt’s set up identically. I shoot them both equally and can shoot either one the same. I generally take it if space isn’t an issue as a backup, but I think a backup is good at home too in case something happens a day or so before your hunt.
I also have the Delores SE and it’s still working great. I always carry a battery backup and small solar panel so I can charge my rino/iphone/delorme while I’m out. I have indefinite battery life in case things go south. The battery and panel is worth the extra weight.
You’re right about bare shaft nock tuning through a shooter. Consistent arrow flight is the ultimate goal. I think bare shaft tuning is a great way to verify and fine tune adjust dynamic spine testing (FLO), and FLO is a great way to verify and test static spine testing.
When I FLO, 4-6 out of...
I would say for most people nock tuning is “good enough”. Unfortunately I suffer from mechanical engineering syndrome, and have to take things to the extreme.
For most rifle shooters, getting a round that will hit in 2-3” at 100 yards is good enough. Precision reloaders would want that same...
Static spine testing is a great place to start. I buy my shafts already indexed.
Dynamic spine testing gets you to the next level of consistency. I use the flat line oscillation method on a bare shaft, which is a common practice in the golf industry to locate the dynamic spine.
Once I...
I use the firenock half outs. I used the black eagle half outs at first, but they don’t really prevent the carbon shaft from mushrooming out if you hit something hard. The firenock have a chamfer that the shaft wedges into, which protects the shaft and aids in concentricity.
Between the half...
Brand new eberlestock half rack pack. Still had the tags one it. Bought at the end of last season but decided to move in a different direction.

I️ spent about $11 on material (4pack of laces and pack of 50 crimps). So, I️ didn’t really save much $$ but I️ got more of what wanted, plus enough extras to make a few more.
Thought I️ would post up my rangefinder tether project. I️’ve had both the FHF tether and the kuiu and found things I️ didn’t like in both of them. The FHF has a noisy quick release buckle that would rattle around and I️ didn’t like the clip the Kuiu used to attach to the rangefinder pouch...
Looks like it should work. From one of the reviews on Amazon
You might lose a little bit of efficiently since the adapter is likely a 5V-12v step up converter, and then the rino charger is a 12v-9V reducer. I wanted to go straight from 5V-9V, which is why I went the splicing method.
This...
The key is the 9V the Garmin needs to charge. The USB to cigarette lighter will only provide 5V. A step up converter is necessary.
I thought of using a cigarette lighter socket on the end of the step up converter, but I wanted light weight so I cut and soldered the wires instead.
I've been wanting to be able to charge all of my electronics off of my solar panel/portable battery. My iPhone and inReach were straight forward since they charge us USB.
The Garmin 600 series, however, uses a 12V cigarette lighter charger that utilizes 9-10V. USB output is only 5V...
