    Out of State Hunting / Fishing Adventures with Buddies

    Just got back from a smallmouth trip in MN on Milles Lac lake. Even for the dog days of summer we had a blast. Caught so many 4.5 to 5lb smallmouth we stopped counting. Easily within your budget.

    Peloton/NordicTrack/Studio cycling for Backcountry Training

    There are so many more things than just spin classes that are available on peleton. As someone previously mentioned, the power zone training is well developed and presented. The power zone work also translates directly to outdoor riding if that is part of your training. I just hit 2100 miles...

    McGowen Lead Time

    I have used McGowen barrels for four builds: 6.5 creed, 6mm GT, .270 wsm, and a .300 PRC. The 6.5 and 6 mm are on PRS rifle builds and the .270 wsm and .300 PRC are on hunting rifles. Three are paired with origin actions and one is on a trued 700. All of the barrels are 1/2 moa rifles. Quite...

    McGowen Lead Time

    I have ordered a couple barrels from them in the past several months. One took 11 weeks and the second was shipped in 10 weeks.

    Tuning issues

    I would agree with others that it is probably a torque or contact issue. That would explain what you are seeing. Depending on what type of rest you are using, contact may not be obvious or happen every time. If you are using a drop away, make sure that the arm is fully dropping and also make...

    NRL22x

    22lr matches are a blast...been shooting NRL22 monthly and NRL22x matches for the last couple years. The format of the hunter matches...all blind stages...find targets, range targets, and engage targets. I believe your time limit is 4 minutes. While this may seem like a lot of time, it can...

    New bow fun!

    Mathews have a tendency to be about a 1/2" long in their listed draw length. So, a 28" mod actually produces around a 28.5" draw length. If you got the hoyt in the same draw length, you are actually probably shooting a shorter draw length. Your draw length may have been too long. This could...

    Cheapest G20 w/ Hardcast & Optic

    I have both a g20 and a g40 and they both shoot hardcast (buffalo bore) bullets with no problem. The barrels are factory. I did put a heavier recoil spring in both. I know that the g40 comes in the MOS version which has an optic ready slide. It will come with a set of plates that match to...

    Must have equipment for Montana Mule deer hunt

    First and foremost...a good pair of boots that fit you well and are well broken in. Good quality, well fitting, broken in boots are a must. Plenty of deer have been taken out west with a .270 with an average scope. You are good there. Glass...sure high end glass is nice but a decent pair of...

    Exercise bike recommendations

    My wife has the peleton, I would say it is a well built piece of equipment and she gets plenty of use out of it. But it is definitely geared towards the spin class enthusiast. I have been using my road bike on a smart trainer for the last couple of years using zwift. Primarily during the...

    First duck call

    I'd second the recommendation of something like a buck gardner call or something similar. I would also recommend starting with a double reed call. A double reed will give you better tone and control at the beginning, and are easier to run. Once you get some experience, then look into some of...

    Christensen Arms Mesa Problems?

    Have a 28 nosler mesa that is capable of shooting a whole lot better than I can. The issues with Christensen is well documented, but those are primarily with their carbon fiber barrels (ridgeline models).
