    Hand gun on.. hip, chest, pack???

    I use a voodoo tactical on my pants belt that is slightly deeper than hip belt on pack, can get to the .40 pretty easy even with pack belt on. Seems to stay put pretty well and can pull it up with the thumb and then grip it as needed. Tried a thigh rig but with my bird legs could not get it...

    Back when I turkey hunted for a couple years in mid 90's I used some 1 7/8 OZ #6 shot reloads with winchester super x hulls, Win 209 primer and Win aa12 wad, 32gr blue dot.

    Issues with Archery Advantage

    It usually takes a few days for it to activate and get your validation code back from the provider. At least that's what my experience was anyway. I used UNO on my android last weekend but haven't had a chance to test the site tape out.

    bow sling with a bee stinger stablilizer ?

    I use a piece of polypropylene strap 1" wide, with a loop on each end and two "D" ring slip strap adjusters. Cost me $3. I adjusted to loops long enough to go over the cams of my bow, then adjusted it for length to have the bow wiser ride ride at belt level. Works great.

    Target panic + flinch

    Exactly, what Montanated said, You first remove the trigger, causing the trigger in the brain, that triggers the TP response. Then you work on the shot process to get a solid shot process down leaving no room for TP to creep back in. Also, there aint no shame in letting down! No-one ever said...

    Weight/FOC for Moose arrows?

    Not that I have experience with moose, cuz I dont, but I totally agree with the above post. No need to go 550gr+ for moose IMHO. Most of your shots are probably gunna be sub 40 yards anyway, so your 475- 500 ish grain arrow will be going plenty fast with plenty of oomph to put a moose on the...
