    Drill/Tap Nitride Barrel for Front Sight

    I am looking at picking up my first smokepole here shortly. One of the possible candidates is the ever popular Knight Ultra-Lite, which comes in different variations of being drilled and tapped for a scope only or including iron sights. I am specifically looking at picking up a nitride model...

    Talk Me Out of a Knight Mountaineer

    I am looking to purchase my first muzzleloader. I want/need something general purpose for all species here in CO , so .50 caliber it is (although there could be a .45 in my future for deer/antelope). I know the Ultra-Lite is very popular, but I'm leaning towards the heavier option and the...

    Cell Phone Tripod Mount?

    I am looking for a way I can mount my cell phone (just the phone) to my tripod. Can anyone recommend a mount for me? Basically, I do alot of hunting solo and this would help with taking pictures instead of trying to prop my phone on my pack. Thanks in advance!

    2024 CO Muzzleloader Planning

    I'm normally exclusively a bow hunter, but I am now looking at a second shoulder surgery in three months. As a result, I am hoping to return to the mountains but will likely not be able to bring my bow this time around. I'm still holding out hope that come draw time I can go with "plan A" and...

    KUIU Service

    Just wanted to pass along a good experience. My KUIU pack has been with me in one form or another for around half a decade and I generally use it at least once a week with 80ish lbs. for conditioning. The hipbelt finally started showing signs of stress and the buckle was failing. I guess that...

    AC Joint Arthritis Anyone?

    So I was hit with the preseason jitters pretty hard this year. I have target panic, but usually I can get myself back to my baseline. For whatever reason, this year I could not get myself back to my blueprinted shot, so I broke things down to the point of blank bailing. Once I pulled through my...

    Calling Bears in the Fall?

    Wondering if anyone would recommend calling in black bears in the fall. This is my first fall targeting bears in CO (always had an add on tag, just struck out with deer/elk tags this year), so any advice is appreciated. Any particular brand/model call I should look for (I've developed a...

    Magview help (Digiscoping Novice)

    So I finally got around to mounting my Magview S1 to my Maven CS.1. I'm wondering if I set the eye relief properly. Here's is what I see through my phone. Note that the image is "cut off" at the top and bottom. Also, while the spotter is "usable" with the Magview attached (i.e., just looking...

    Born Primitive Frontier Light Pants Review

    BP was running a 20% off sale a week or so ago. Since my favorite Prana Zions have been "re-imagined" and the new version is terrible, I'm on the search for a new go-to pair of pants for early season archery hunting. Bottom line: these are a massive disappointment overall and not worth the...

    Boot Recommendation Please

    Hi All, I am in the market for a new pair of boots and am hoping to take advantage of some sales in the near future (Black Friday, etc.). I'm looking for an uninsulated boot for early season archery hunts and summer scouting. Breathability is a big thing for me, so I'd like to avoid any options...

    Quartering and Packing out a Bear?

    Hi all, I think I've seen a few videos on how to skin a bear for a rug, but I'm wondering what the process is for leaving evidence of sex attached and/or quartering? I have a few days left to hunt this season and since I filled my deer tag, I will be (for the first time) exclusively chasing...

    BH Tuning Process

    Hi all, It's that time of year again. I'm familiar with what to do during BH tuning in terms of rest movement, etc. I also ensure that (at a minimum) my bow is shooting bullet holes through paper. That said, I am wondering though what your process is for ensuring that every arrow in your quiver...

    OCD Tuning Headaches

    Had my local shop redo my d-loop about two months ago. Ever since then, I feel like I've been chasing my tail with my anchor, but I finally figured things out (new loop is slightly longer, but it forces me to keep my bow arm straight). I should mention that this is a 2019 bow (Hoyt Helix Ultra)...

    Spotter to Tripod Mounting Headache (Sirui ST-124 + Maven CS.1)

    I picked up a Sirui VA-5 and ST-124 from Cameraland (awesome service BTW) and am trying to get my Maven CS.1 to mount to it. For the life of me, I cannot get the brass pin to seat into the hole on my spotter. It's almost like the hole in the spotter is a hair too small to accept the pin. This...

    Clear Filters?

    I finally stepped up to nicer glass (Maven B.2) and want to keep them protected. They will be riding in a Marsupial gear harness. Am I being paranoid by considering Maven's clear lens filters for the objectives? I guess I'm wondering what ya'll would recommend in terms of covers to protect the...

    Archery Rangefinder (Leupold Fulldraw?)

    I'm looking to replace my Vortex Ranger 1300. Man does it leave a ton to be desired. First off, I can range the same 3-D target three times and get three different readings. Second, it occasionally just "gives up" and doesn't give me a reading. The display also has a tendency to either be washed...

    Excessive Cam Lean?

    Looking for some guidelines of when cam lean becomes "excessive". The arrow I'm shooting comes out of Archer's Advantage as being slightly stiff, but I was getting weak tears out of the bow. I'm wondering if I should move up a spine or potentially focus on shooting with a more neutral grip since...

    Need a new camera that does phone calls

    Hi all, So it turns out 3G went away and my LTE phone was using 3G for voice on AT&T's network. As a result, my phone is no longer a phone. I can't make or receive phone calls and AT&T is telling me my only option is to get a new phone, despite the fact that my phone has an LTE radio in it. As...

    Poundage vs. FPS on a modern compound

    Long story short, it looks like my limbs are in need of replacement due to my lack of surefooted-ness. Limbs are 65lbers because when I bought the bow (Hoyt Helix Ultra) I could barely draw 55lbs. Say I move up in poundage to 70s or even 80s (this whole archery thing has forced me to get in...
