    Hi-Lux Optics

    I have no experience with Hi-Lux. Can someone provide a review? I ask because they offer a modernized version of the Leatherwood ART, which is what I used on an M21 at the old XVIII Airborne Corps AMTU Sniper School at Fort Bragg in 1985. So the interest in that particular scope design is...

    Black Powder Cartridge Rifle

    No BPCR experience. Just acquired a .45-70 Sharps 1877. Suggestions about where to start? Loads, bullet weights, etc. Will be used mostly for recreational shooting, but I also hope to slay a buffalo with it someday. Probably won’t compete.

    Ron Dube: 1942-2025

    A little late, but Cody, Wyoming outfitter and guide Ron Dube passed in May at age 82: https://www.ballardfh.com/obituary/ronald-dube I never met him, but my understanding is that he had a great reputation as an outfitter and guide in the Cody area. He seems to have led a a life well lived.

    Proposal dead…….temporarily

    Sen. Lee’s public lands sale proposal is dead, as is. He has voiced his intention to reintroduce a scaled down version. The new version is supposed to eliminate all National Forest land from consideration and limit considered BLM land to land within five miles of a developed area.

    Wyoming resident draw

    I always buy a resident general. I also just found out I drew a resident Area 67, Type 6 (cow/calf). This is southern Absaroka, north of Dubois. Was up there scouting last night and saw a sow Grizzly with two cubs. Should be an interesting fall.

    Zercher squats

    Does anyone here use the Zercher squat as their primary squatting movement, or at least incorporate them into your program? If so, how are you liking it what led you to it? I recently viewed a podcast featuring Pavel Tsatsouline advocating the Zercher squat. It sparked my interest. I was...

    Your first elk.

    Tell us about it, what you’ve since learned, and how things have changed. Mine was a cow at about 75 yards. I was shooting a Ruger No. 1 in .30-06 with a 220 grain Core Lokt and open sights (receiver peep sight, not buckhorn sights). I had a military style shooting sling and was leaning...

    The kettlebell mile

    StrongFirst article: https://www.strongfirst.com/the-kettlebell-mile/ Sounds interesting. Thoughts? My initial thought is that it looks like something that could beat you down and cause joint trauma. But the author seems to have success with it. And at only one mile, it might be something...

    Machine based strength training

    Who here has experienced success with machine based strength training? By success, I mean consistent long term strength gains, as measured on the machines, that you believe had a positive impact on physical capacity and performance, preferably as it relates to backcountry hunting and load...

    Wyoming wolf hunting

    It’s still legal with your snowmobile: https://cowboystatedaily.com/2024/09/30/wyoming-legislators-stop-short-of-banning-running-over-wolves-with-snowmobiles/ I support wolf hunting. I don’t approve of using any vehicle as a weapon, even for predators.

    Wyoming museums

    Wyoming has two really good museums: the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody. I’ve enjoyed these two more than the Smithsonians in DC. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. My wife and I just made another trip to Cody and visited...
