    Swarovski x2 booster

    Thanks mate, I have the new EL’s so I don’t think it will fit mine unfortunately. Looks like a great concept thought. No sure why they don’t still make them to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Swarovski x2 booster

    Looking on some info about the Swarovski x2 booster. Are they any good? I would be attaching it to my el ranges 10x42. I don’t really have the need for a spotter but thought it would be something worth having to get a closer look at things from time to time? Anyone got experience with this...

    Quality arrows without paying for an expensive “component” system

    I was shooting the deep impacts and had the same issues, bent outserts. Changed to the zombie slayers with their 100gr brass insert and they work great. The regular inserts would be fine if you used a heavier head but I didn’t want to buy new broadheads. I can’t say that I have noticed a big...

    Stiffer or softer boot? Help!

    Day hunting is 15-20lbs. Multi-day trips 45+lbs. I'm 5'10 175lb. No they don't hurt in tennis shoes but I'm also not in the kind of terrain. Lowa Tibets are about the stiffest boot you can get down here other than full insulated mountaineering boots. There is a big gap. I have access to...

    Stiffer or softer boot? Help!

    I am struggling to find a good boot. Being located Down Under, we don't have access to the majority of the boots you guys do which makes finding a boot very difficult. I currently have Lowa Tibets which have taken a lot of abuse over the years but I always get extremely sore soles after...

    Salomon Quest goretex

    I had 2 pairs and they both leaked within a month. got a free replacement on the first pair, went to Lowa Tibets when the second pair started leaking. I would be looking at something better than Salomons. Comfortable but not durable.

    Lowa Tibet GTX leakage?

    I have had the same experience with my Tibets. I have put 100's of kilometers on them over the last 4 years in Australia, Bhutan, New Zealand and Austria. These are my go to when ever I am heading somewhere outdoors and they have held up great. I only clean them and treat the leather every 6...

    Back tension hunting

    I have been hunting with a hinge for around 4 years or so now. I can't really recall a situation that I wished I had a trigger or thumb button. You can still command a shot with a hinge if you really need to send one quickly. I would shoot what ever you shoot the best with. being confident with...

    Son of a biscuit!

    Just my experience with Hoyts, they seem to be a lot more hyped up than they ought to be. For the money you pay and the end product you get is pretty disappointing honestly. I haven't shot the RX series but the series before that was just a new riser shape and re-brand the bow as something new...

    New Arrow set-up

    That is true, however and I know I said I didn't want to use weights, I am going to use a 50gr weight on the insert and I should come out pretty close to the weight as my deep impacts that I am using now.

    New Arrow set-up

    Thanks for the feedback guys. So far I have narrowed it down to two shafts that I want to run. 1. BEA ZombieSlayer with 100gr insert. All done up it will come in around 490gr. 2. BEA Spartan with Stainless steel insert and 50gr weight. Total arrow weight will come in around the 470gr. Thoughts...

    New Arrow set-up

    So I have been shooting the BEA deep impacts for around 2 years or so and taken plenty of game down under with them and were very happy with the results. But, as seems to be a common trend with the skinny shafts, after a while the arrows that I was shooting would simply not hit right. Now I am...

    Need help picking out boot

    I went through 2 pairs of solomon 4d boots in 16 months, both leaked, returned both with great customer service. Replacement first pair and a refund on the second. I'm looking at lowa tibets, scarpa kinesis and meindl island pros. If there is 2 pieces of gear i wouldn't skimp on it would be...

    Easton Full Metal Jacket

    I shot FMJ's and didn't really like them. After shooting them for a while they ended up hitting different. I prefer arrows with an outsert. I was shooting a Australian brand but they went out of bussiness so now im shooting Black eagle deep impacts and they seem awesome. I've never had a carbon...

    Can you add dwr to untreated down bag?

    Bad idea, condensation will build up inside it and get it wet anyways. Did that once and it sucked haha Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    90+ degree temp

    Kuiu Chugach or Yukon

    I have the Chugach jacket and love it however ill be getting the yukon pants because if its raining ill wear just them. The stuff i hunt over here in Aus is pretty thick so they need to be reasonably tough. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    KUIU Alpine vs the Attack
