    Bow brands of years past...

    The "What bows have you owned" thread make me a little nostalgic. I can think of a bunch of brands that you don't see anymore. Maybe some are still around, but I know a lot aren't. I'll throw a couple out: AMF Wing McPherson My father had (still has) an AMF Wing Impact compound. One of...

    IMR 4955 overpressure issue

    Just got back from Montana hunting deer and elk. Had a great hunt, except for one minor issue. Shooting reloads in a 30-06 AI loaded with 180gr Nosler AB in front of 60.0gr IMR 4955. Load work up done over the summer between 70 and 90F resulted in velocity of 2880fps average for 30 shots...

    Anyone have or have some time with a Steyr Pro THB?

    For some odd reason, I've always wanted a Steyr, but not a scout, which is about all I have actually held. I like the short barrel THB and the older prohunter, but haven't had any experience with them. One of the few that I've not shot. If you have, what are your thoughts? Balance...

    Broadhead tuning a little different way

    My PSE Carbon Air 32 developed a bad case of needing cables due to a serving separation where the draw stop hits. They were a couple of years old, so rather than re-serve, I snagged a new set. Once I got it to specs, I timed the cams, and re-shimmed/yoke twisted a little to set initial cam...

    Trigger control with cold hands

    How do you manage it with really light triggers when you have no feeling in your finger? I shot yesterday. It was 30F 80% humidity and a steady 8mph head on breeze. Then it sleeted on me and my hands got numb cold. Because I'm stupid, I stayed out in it and kept shooting. I has 4 rifles...

    Is the 6.5-284 dead?

    It kind of started this whole 6.5 is awesome thing since it seems like no one could remember that the 6.5 Swede existed, which is sad. Has it gone by the wayside in your opinion? Why do you think that is? It has a lot to recommend it, IMO. Just don't see much on it. Jeremy

    Oregon IP13 Ballot Initiative Hunting Ban among other things

    https://www.yesonip13.org/ I ran across a news article on this ballot initiative in Oregon. Holy Hell! There are some special people in that state (and unfortunately others). Ban hunting, almost all animal husbandry practices in common use, and even frowning at a cat that just scratched...

    Found BH209 at Walmart in Indiana, maybe a fluke, hope it's a trend

    Anyone else seeing newer stocks of BH209? I was in Wally World today, because I didn't want to get dressed to go shopping, and there next to the paper targets, which I was really there for, were 6 bottles of BH209. Nestled in between the Pyrodex RS and the T7 pellets. This was a previously...

    Alaska POW Island Mid-July, what flies do I need?

    I'll be at Coffman Cove on the island from the 9th to the 17th of July. Looks like there are several options for stream/river fly fishing. What do I need that time of year for trout and dollies? Looks like there should be a sockeye run as well, so what for them? I've fished the Kenai...

    Finished my CO elk getter, a homemade underhammer percussion .50 cal (more pics added)

    This project started in January when I decided which CO elk tag to apply for and it happened to be a muzzy season tag. I had the points and creep wasn't an issue, so I started to plan the build. I have several muzzleloaders, and initially thought that I would use a .54 Cal Lyman Trade Rifle...

    What does this mean for my future?

    I machined an 80% AR .308 lower today, and mated it to a 6.5 Creedmoor upper I put together. This is my first 6.5 Creedmoor and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Kind of giddy, and kind of butterflies in the stomach, like you just F'ed up butterflies. The ones you get after you see that the...

    GRS Bifrost

    What are folks thoughts on this stock? Not a lot of options for the LA Savage I finished building and I don't want a chassis. This one looks workable. Anyone have one that can share your likes and dislikes? Jeremy

    Fixed a little problem on an old Savage 99

    This is a 1967 Savage 99C in .284. Someone, who I would like to kick in the balls, took a file to the front sight base to make clearance for the scope bell. Heaven forbid they get taller rings. But that horrid wound did allow me to buy it for a song. My intention was to either fix the wound...

    SE Alaska self-guided fishing lodge, need some help

    Looking to set up a trip with my parents at one of the self-guided lodges. 4 people, two older, one has a bad back. The bad back is why we are looking at self-guided so we are on our schedule. 10 hours on a boat won't work for my dad and guided boats usually have 6 on board, so not conducive...

    Trophy and meat handling, what I did

    This is a note on how I handled the meat and rack from my moose. Pretty simple really, and there are three options here that I looked into. All of these require that you have some mode of transportation to move the goods. My hunt was Anchorage based, so take that for what it is worth...

    2020 Moose Hunt in Pictures

    Finally got some time to post these. I could write a long and witty story filled with adventure and sarcasm, but I'll just let the photos tell the story and narrate a bit here and there. The summary is this was a hunt with Jake Jefferson. His first moose hunt since he started his own...

    Good luck to all....

    I hope you are successful in your quest for a large, hairy, horny male of the species. Don't forget evidence of sex is required in most states. Jeremy

    Seating Depth, what is the best?

    This article has some interesting info in it. https://precisionrifleblog.com/2020/03/29/bullet-jump-load-development/ I don't chase seating depth and have never had an issue getting a satisfactory load. I just load to max mag length and work from there. The match rifles that I have built...
