    Being at a Disadvantage without a SxS

    "Disadvantage" is probably open to interpretation. Does getting an extra 30 minutes of sleep count as an advantage because you can get to your hiking spot 30 minutes faster than if you were in a vehicle? Is it an advantage to not stress about breaking or scratching your vehicle? Is it an...

    June Scouting for 1st season Elk?

    I often use the July 4th holiday and long weekend from work to get some scouting in. As previously mentioned, it's more about seeing the access points and glassing locations than it is about finding elk. If you stumble upon some well used game trails, dark timber, water sources, and prior years...

    NRL Hunter Prep - Denver

    You can check out NRL Hunter website and it gives you dates of the matches and the signup. Most of the 2025 matches are all sold out the last time I checked, and 2026 dates are not yet released.

    Kibler Woodsrunner .54 Kit Assembly

    I would definitely take the instructions to smoothing out the crown. I don't think it's a current issue because the patches doesn't have holes in them but would be good to check and know how to do. I did try a 0.535 ball with the 0.018 pillow ticking patch and it was so tight I barely got it...

    Kibler Woodsrunner .54 Kit Assembly

    All great advice, thank you! My original thought was to run 3F in the barrel and the pan so that I only had to worry about one powder out in the field. Ignition is still extremely fast with 3F so no concerns yet. I just need to get the accuracy up at 100 yards for zero.

    Kibler Woodsrunner .54 Kit Assembly

    Looks like TOTF is out of the milk oil at the moment but I signed up for email notification. Would also like to get some more Amber Flints for consistency. They spark extremely well in the Kibler lock.

    Kibler Woodsrunner .54 Kit Assembly

    I was surprised at how tame the 100gr of 3F felt with the brass butt plate. I will also likely try 2F to see if accuracy improves. I originally started with a 0.10 Cabela's lubed patch, 0.535 ball, and 75gr 3F and there was no group to speak of. The 0.018 pillow ticking and 0.530 ball seems to...

    Just rechecked range data, correction to 100gr 3F... Velocity coming in at 1,980fps.

    Kibler Woodsrunner .54 Kit Assembly

    I have only gotten a chance to shooting the Woodsrunner a few times and try out 4-5 different patch and ball combos. So far, it seems to like 0.53 RB with 0.018 pillow ticking patch, spit lubed. Accuracy continues to go up with increased powder charge. Currently shot up to 110gr 3F Swiss. Need...

    McGuire Ballistics 168gr Copper Rose

    I built mine on a long action as well, so should be in good shape. 22" Proof Carbon Sendero plus can with 1:8.4 twist. Thank you for the input!

    McGuire Ballistics 168gr Copper Rose

    Out of the 7SAUM, do you prefer the 160s or the 168s for elk sized game? Sounds like there's no issue with stabilizing either of them, so take the extra weight? Currently shooting 168 Berger VLDs but picked up a $100 gift card to McGuire from NRL prize table so will test some out.

    Will be at the Ft. Collins match shooting teams as well. 2nd event for us, with the first being Larkspur in April. Had a blast and a half!

    Reheated wild game.....yuck

    Wild game is a staple in our house. The wife and I both love it when it's fresh, but we cannot force ourselves to eat it the next day because it tastes so different when reheated in the microwave. Between the taste and the overexaggerated smell after microwaving, we've learned to only cook as...

    Possible Relocation to Tri-Cities, TN area

    I am from Abingdon, went to school in Radford, and worked in Christiansburg/Blacksburg before moving to Colorado. I don't have much experience with hunting public land back east as we could usually find a farmer or a friend that would allow us to hunt. I know the public land hunting can be...

    Hunting Truck Mid vs Full Size

    Maybe I'm the only one that brings too much stuff with me, but I load out my crew cab Ram 1500 with 6.5ft bed when it's me and one other person. Camper shell and decked drawer system. Helpful at night to store everything in the cab while sleeping in the bed. It has gotten me in and out of every...

    Mortgages

    I'll start by saying that I have only read the first 5 pages of this thread, but one item I have not saw mentioned is the time value of money. Why they don't teach this in grade school is beyond me. When figuring out what is best for you and your financial decisions, you should always be...

    UT Bison Tag - Book Cliffs

    Congrats on the tag! You're going to appreciate having a guide on this hunt with local knowledge of the area. My buddy drew a late cow rifle tag a few years ago in the Books and we hunted hard for multiple weekends. Never turned up the herd. It was a bit disappointing for sure.

    Kibler Woodsrunner .54 Kit Assembly

    Finally getting around to posting final photos here. Can take a few more detailed photos upon request. Overall, I learned a ton during the process and am extremely happy with the end result. Excited to get to the range and see how it shoots! Slightly concerned about the sights being loose but...

    Yamaha or Honda ATV Recommendations

    I'm in the same boat, Honda vs. Yamaha. Golly at the used market in CO though.. You'd think these things come gold plated for what someone wants for their 05 Grizzly. For me it will likely come down to what I can find a good used deal on. Went to Honda dealership in Denver on Tuesday. New...
