    When do you hood when layering?

    In looking up hunting layering systems I noticed that pretty much every level of layering from base to mid to jacket to rain gear has hooded and non-hooded options. That raises the question of what layers do you typically get with a hood? It gets uncomfortable stacking hoods on one hand but you...

    Best Elastic Draw Trainer

    I am currently using a standard elastic trainer for working out my back muscles for my draw but I have to rig it in a way that is uncomfortable and causing the elastic band to wear in places...

    Anyone try the new KUIU Boonie?

    I have always been a big fan of boonie style hats as they protect your neck and ears unlike baseball hats. I am in the market for a new hot weather hat for this summer and maybe to use for Archery Elk. The new KUIU Gila Pro boonie looks interesting but I have not seen any reviews for it. Has...

    First Lite AeroWool 150 long Boxer vs Boot cut

    I am looking to get a new pair of merino base layers for hiking/hunting. My old Icebreaker boxer briefs bunched up too much which got pretty old after 5 days in the elk woods.

    Willis and Geiger- The Original Hunting Gear

    When my Grandpa passed I was able to go through his closet and pick out some of his old flannels and shirts as we had the exact same size. One of the pieces was a very unique Safari Jacket with a red Made in America tag by a brand called Willis and Geiger. I kept the jacket and was curious about...

    Chinese Ebay Stabilizers

    I am looking for a stabilizer for my range bow and found these on Ebay for a pretty good price. Has anyone had any luck with these or similar? They are Chinese knockoffs but most of the 'real' brands are made in china anyway and charging over $100 for a tube of carbon fiber is robbery IMO...

    Fellow Onx Members, This fall is going to be my first hunt and I am excited to get into the field with my bow.
