65mm Spotting Scope review

Last year I had a Swaro, Zeiss, Leica, and Kowa side by side on tripods. Not professionally trained, I could not tell a difference. I went with a Kowa TSN 66 because it was shorter and a lot lighter than the others. As a sheep hunter that means much to me. I really love the clarity of the...

short recurves?

I've had a Fox Breed (2 piece) since '10. After 15 years with a long bow I made the switch to a recurve again and the short (mine is 54") 50's style recurve with a traditional grip allows me to go back and forth between long bow and recurve with no adjustment. The Breed is a beautiful little...

The transformation....I was a fat bastard! :)

I am going to chime in here not because I was especially fat but more so because I am getting older. I was thin until I was 45 and my metabolism changed. All of a sudden it was easy to put on 5 lbs. but very hard to take it off. I have a small frame and am only 5' 7" and my ideal weight is...
