    Swfa 3-9 diopter adjustment

    I know this is relatively old, but felt compelled to provide my experience. My best results came using mxgsfmdpx’s recommendations with a slightly different approach. Using only what he provided, I was still have problems with picture clarity between the different magnification powers of the...

    What Nosler bullet do you prefer?

    200yds and in, the energy dump and penetration of Partitions are hard to beat. Past that, your gun has to like them. The sealed-off back half of the Partition doesn't restrict it to specific velocities. The front is always going to open up and the back will always penetrate. Accuracy is...

    10x SWFA for hunting?

    What kind of hunting? Stand? Open field? Stalking? Thick brush? Does the hunter take shots on runners? Obviously, the 10x will come in handy on a stand overlooking a field. In my parts, it's extremely manageable from a stand, even at 15 yds. As an example, I stand hunt in the woods and...

    Ideal 12 gauge barrel

    Shotgun powder is fast. Unless you’re lengthening your sight plane or going for a better swing, the longer barrel does absolutely nothing ballistically. The truth about shotgun, choke and slug (or even shot) combos is two matched models can shoot completely differently. Lots of range time...

    Any harm in annealing brass twice?

    Parshal nailed it. The flame color tells you when you’re done. When I forget if my batch was annealed or not, I run them at a faster spin rate. If the flame turns orange quickly, chances are they’re already done once. I always sacrifice one or two to get the time right. I believe its...

    First and Last Rifle - New Hunter

    I’ll second (or third) whoever said don’t consider a remotely possible elk hunt later on. 6.5CM catches a lot of heat because such an easy and forgiving shooter that it tends to draw inexperienced shooters into taking fundamentally wrong shots. I have 300WM, 30-06, .308, and .270. Since...

    Muzzleloader suggestions

    First one? I'd go with the CVA Wolf. For about the same price and a little work, you can buy an old Rem 700ML for $100 and put a Badger Ridge 209 kit in it (if your local laws allow). I've got 2 and they both shoot MOA at 100 yds with a crappy Leupold VX-I. Like Rich M., the last one I...

    What bow is everyone shooting?

    My 2018 Obsession Turmoil RZ. I know the company gets a lot of sneers, but I can't find a bow that shoots better for me.

    Always, always check your tree stand for any possible issues. Had a cable break today when I was in the stand.

    Horrible. I was just speaking with a guy who's friend climber broke, causing him to fall 20ft and lose use of his legs.

    Where would you aim?

    If presented with the same elevation and angle in the picture....J10 with a bullet, arrow, slug or bolt. Assuming my shot is always broad side or slightly quartering, I imagine the location of the opposite side's humerus and aim for the bottom of it (from a tree). In this pic, I'm on the...

    FNG checking in.

    Checking in from Pennsyltucky. Been here for about 4 years, but I still hunt in the Suffolk area of VA (and near family in NC). Turkey and deer, mostly. Haven't hunted duck since heading north, although I still maintain my deeks and gear. Used to hunt pheasant when I was younger. That is...
