    some thoughts on low light optics

    Hi folks, I have an elevated blind made by redneck hunting blinds on my food plot. It's dead solid and does not even wiggle. Stable viewing with field glasses is very good with elbows on the shelf and the objective edge of the bino's resting on the frame. I mention this because long periods of...

    Practice session sweet spot

    Maybe just me, although I doubt it. Do you folks notice the there is a bell curve for your best practice shooting? I start out with okay hunting accuracy for 5-10 shots. Then I'm dialed in perfectly with great precision and form for the next 25-40 shots or so. After which my steady hold is...

    Field points and slick tricks. Exact same POI

    I had my bow professionally dialed in, it was not my skill set to manage this precision! I just shoot it. We also as a group seem to feel confident that a slick trick hits about the same as a field point from most if not every bow made. Well here is the comparison. In case you have ever...

    Surprising level of Penetration

    I was shooting just now. Heard the unmistakable flutter of a fletch that came loose in flight. It actually was embedded in the block. Flimsy little blazer going fast enough to stick in the block!

    Long term Equipment review on a few items

    I've now had several items for observation from Manufactures for a year or more. The longest is the Trijicon Accudial sight. Tightspot quiver: Maybe there are some with equal quality or function, but unlikely there are much better bow mounted quivers. I really like arrow containment. They are...

    Fall Turkey Seasons

    We are blessed to live in a very turkey rich area of the USA. With eastern Oregon, idaho and eastern Wa. having areas with significant, or in some areas pest levels of turkeys. I had 197 in my pasture at one time this fall. It's unbelievable how many turkeys can be seen in a single flock at...

    Archery.... what a long amazing history!

    Isn't is amazing that archery is still such a prominent activity after more then 10,000 years? Regardless of the technology evolution, the fact that a man launches an arrow with his own strength from a bow to hit targets or kill game is pretty impressive. What other sport or tool are we using...

    Leica 1000 rangefinder

    Can this rangefinder be set to measure Angie compensation with yardage or just degree When I turn on the angle compensation and stand 20 yards from a cell tower pole it shows the 20 yards fine. When I point it to the top of the pole it measures 54 yards. My understanding is that it should...

    So you think your handgun will save you from a Mt. Lion Attack?

    Here in NE Wa. there was a research project on the reservation. This amazing footage is worth watching. Then think about how your handgun in a holster under your jacket is going to help you. http://www.americanhunter.org/mobile/blog.php?id=32107&cid=11594

    2014 bear

    well, Archery bear #24 is in the books now! Shot at 18 yards with a Slick Trick (Viper Trick version). At the shot he reared up on hind legs and fell backward. From this reaction I actually thought he was done right there. The impact sound was solid. However he did manage to regain his feet...

    Great head lamps

    In my line of work I am often required or expected to locate the game my hunters shoot at the closing moments of light. Blood tracking this way may come down to a single spot of blood to get you in the correct direction. In the African bush you really never know what is around the next corner...

    I have a 16g iPhone 5s which is nowhere near enough memory. With The new 5gig update it will all be gone. In looking at the way I am using memory, I have a lot of photos, probably like many of us. Is there a reasonable way to store Photo's in the cloud and retrieve them quick to show people...

    Observations on a couple mechanical broadheads

    I have never used a Mechanical broad head on any big game, only turkeys. For turkeys there is nothing even close to the rage mechanical head. It's just devastating in every way and absolutely as accurate as a field point. I have a weird curiosity of mechanicals, maybe because of my engineering...

    prices of reader or bifocals glasses

    I wear a reader contact in one eye. However I do use readers for day in day out use around the house and even outside the house now and then. I bought a pair of Maui Jim Sun Readers a few weeks ago. For fishing they are astonishing. Tying knots and baiting hooks etc with the reader portion and...

    trail cameras in the back country for 6 mos to a year between visits?

    I've done this two years in a row now. It's amazing to see the weather changes, the snow fall and the spring growth come on. One time was 7 months the second was 10 months. Ive had 1600 pictures to look through! Many are small birds, but there have been surprises as well. Big elk, deer...

    My wife decided to shoot a bear

    My video camera team mate finally decided to shoot the rifle instead of the camera. i learned that running the camera is not as easy as it looks to get good footage! Her shooting is far better then my camera work! So I have been working trying to help my wife get a bear. Twice in the last...

    Sharp Broadheads, Painless?

    An observation on broadhead sharpness and the feeling of being sliced open with them. Yesterday I was on the phone waiting on an appointment and had a Rage broad head in my truck laying on the console. I was inspecting it to see the function and just admiring the design. I've never used one on...
