    Weed Whackers

    In all fairness most brands make a dozen or so different trimmers at different price points for everyone from the casual suburbanite all the way to professional landscapers and ground maintnece crews and the price typically represents the performance your getting. The same applies to battery...

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    I've had this happen to me now and then. It may sound odd but if I go to the rifle range and blow 30-40 rounds through my 300wm and work on my breathing, trigger pull and follow through there it seems to carry over into my archery. I want to say that the big bang and the recoil of the gun make...

    Has your dog been injured?

    My 8 year old lab has a fake elbow replacement. He hurt it as a puppy and was losing mobility in it as he got older. My wife found a vet in Los Angeles that was doing joint replacement surgeries. He got brought in, had the surgery and was back to hunting in 3 months. He also almost checked out...

    Best or Favorite Bow EVER

    I have a Hoyt Faktor 30 that I shot for the longest time that was basically an extension of my body. I loved shooting that thing. I had a small splinter come off one of the limbs and I'm afraid to shoot it now. Upgraded to a.V3X 33 and I'm starting to really love that bow. It's so smooth and...

    Anybody have a Stihl MS-182?

    They really sing if you open up the exhaust and give it a little port and polish. I do prefer the 261 over it but it's definitely in a different price range.

    Anybody have a Stihl MS-182?

    I actually worked for Stihl for about 3.5 years after I graduated college and then moved onto another profession. The ms170 is one of stihls top selling saws. Decent performance to cost ratio. Some of the newer low end saws are known turds however they are "clean" emissions saws that lower the...

    Weight training programs

    I do a 4 day split push/ pull weight lifting program. It worked great for me in college playing football and I just toned it down a notch for my new NARP (non athletic regular person) life. Also sprinkle in some kettlebell workouts a well. Every once and a while I'll do a month of just...

    Need powerful electric chainsaw

    I can only really speak for the stihls and the milwaukee but the run time is surprisingly good as long as you are running high Amp hour batteries. I wouldn't try cutting firewood with one all day unless you had a good amount of batteries at your disposal but as small job/ maintenance saws they...

    Need powerful electric chainsaw

    The new stihl MSA300 absolutely rips. I have a MSA220 and I'm super happy with it for a truck saw. I just wish I could justify spending the money on the 300 when I also already have 5 gas saws sitting in the garage.
