At the Kristi Titus Seminar. She knows her stuff

Marines trained her to use a tripod with the thumb down so you can lock your elbow easier—more bone loading.

Also, gotta have that front leg under barrel with the back two legs parallel to the upright body if you want to preload the tripod, otherwise you’ll knock the tripod forward.

Diving into bipods, semi-free recoil

Line up recoil with the spine. Makes sense.

Can one of you Roksliders at the show check out the New Savage Ultralight with the Proof carbon fiber barrel for me and give me your thoughts or opinion on it? Assuming they have it there, I saw Savage had a booth. And maybe ask them when they expect it to be in dealers hands? Thanks in advance if possible.

Yes

MSRP $1499. The heaviest model will run 6 pounds. And yes there’s a 28 Nosler (and a bunch more) and it has the Accu trigger. 22 inch or 24 inch barrel depending on caliber

I’m glad you let us know this is out there. I would love to get this going on Rokslide for a review. This gun could really shake things up at that price point and that weight, if it shoots and is reliable.

Cam draws a crowd.
I was gonna see if he wanted to do a PU contest but he looks kinda busy right now. Plus I pulled a man boob the other day trying to do a fly.

This typical might not score as well as those ones I posted yesterday and the day before, but I would take this one over the others as he’s heavier. He is a TREMENDOUS buck

They have any idea when they will be available? How did the gun feel and look overall? I’m more than happy to do a review of it for Rokslide especially if you can arrange a complimentary one preferably in 280 Ackley 😀😆

there is a 280 AI available. And she said the guns are just starting to ship now.
And it felt a little like a Tikka without the front weight

Saw @Bill V there with all his Broadheads and his 1 oz knife. He’s in as a sponsor again for our Cold Bow Challenge this year, so watch for that.

Les just reviewed the wide Broadhead.

Hey all,
WHE is less than a month away!
Who is all going?
If you cant make it, drop a note if you'd like one of us to stop by a particular booth. So far, myself, @robby denning , @Ryan Avery , @Tanya Avery , @Jordan Budd , @Tony Trietch , @Justin Crossley , and @Matt Cashell will be in attendance.

We hope to see some familiar faces and meet some new Roksliders while we are there. If you see one of us, make sure to say hello!
I need to make it out there next year!

This really is a good show. Cost me some money in the Outdoorsman booth and Kifaru (again) but it’s rare to see this kind of quality gear in 1 show.
