Thread 'S2H winter class 2026 observations and lessons learned'

Feb 23, 2026

Shoot2Hunt held a Winter version of the 0-600 Yard Hunting Course last week. Below will follow some of the notable experiences/information.

@Tommyhaak, @WDO, @Nine Banger, @RancherJohn, @Cliff Gray, @longrangelead, @Livinfree77, @nephewjephew, @24valve

Were all in attendance and I hope they share their observations.

Weather for the week:
The first couple of days was warm- 50° F and windy. Then the temps dropped on day 3 or 4, and it snowed approx 5”, and got to below 0° F for lows. Highs those days were single digit...

For those that suggested the OV jackets, the price point sure doesn't hurt. There must be an embargo on the down though.

That puffy looks awesome. Any idea on a relative $?

The Outdoor Vitals is fantastic. Very light and incredibly warm. Used it last year Elk and Muley hunting. Couldn't be happier with it.

Mid $400 is what we are being told.

Looking at the puffy used in the S2H class it appears to me to be a different use case than the Outdoor Vitals puffy. The puffy you were testing looks to be for very cold weather, say a late November/December/January hunt versus the lighter Vantage, 24oz versus 16oz. I guess buying both would be the way to go!

What size did you have at the S2H course?

Probably the one you saw would have been a “large” as they currently are labeled. They are supposed to be sized when they go for sale, appropriately/big. Which means- if I wear a large in t-shirt and tops, the “large” puffy will be big enough to go over a t-shirt, baselayer, and mid weight (sweater) layer- and not be tight.
