    AR optics

    On my AR carbine I run a Primary Arms red dot; an Aimpoint CompM4 clone they used to sell that is exactly like my issued optic in the Military. It is good quality for the price, holds zero without issue, has been rugged, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of their other red dots. I also run a...

    Who’s forgoing new bows for older ones?

    I am currently shooting a 2016 PSE Drive R that I bought new (post deployment gift to self). Prior to that I shot a 1999 Darton Maverick (Recurve Limbs) bought new. And prior to that a 1983 (I think) Browning Safari bought new, gift from folks.

    Easton axis 5 mm HIT

    I run the same arrow set-up: Axis 5mm, 50g brass HIT. With broadhead (Cutthroat 150g) I also run an Easton BAR and have not had any issues with arrow damage. With field point I don't run the BAR; don't feel the 5g difference changes my POI. When shooting field points I shot a bag target and like...

    Cot pad

    If size/wt are not a factor; I used this on my Mil-issue cot this year and was warm and very comfortable. And it fit nicely in a large/HD contractor bag for transport in the back of the truck. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0742B6F1H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Dark Timber Coffee

    I have had the accent packs; very good, better than SB Via, and hunter/conservation friendly (2% for Conservation) company. I have also tried the Tioga Rise coffee and it is good as well. I will be taking both on my CO trip this year.

    Which diaphragm Elk call are you using?

    Right from Phelps; ordered 5 call and the pouch so the $6.95 for shipping was no big deal.

    Which diaphragm Elk call are you using?

    I just got my Phelps calls (Red, Pink, White, Gray, Black) in yesterday. Wow, they sound great and are easy to blow. Can't give specific recommendation yet, but first impression is they seem better than the 3-ish other brands of calls that I have.

    120 Qt Cooler big enough

    I run two 120qt Igloo Polar coolers. I made "cozies" for them with Reflectix material that entirely covered them, and added a layer of it inside the lid as well. In 2017 when I last went to CO I filled them each w/ cubed ice (couldn't find block) at the Walmart in Frisco; can't remember exactly...

    Slider Setup Question

    I set my BG 3pin the same as JMEZ, OR ARCHER, and BLOCKCAVER for the same reasons; max travel and no look zero.

    Loose point/broadhead tips?

    I use either bow wax or nail polish on the threads; the nail polish works better generally.
