    clothing made in China

    I looked at it at the great outdoor show in PA last weekend. It seemed pretty nice. Probably just about on par with any of the other high end brands. I bought a base layer t shirt just to try out without having to drop $200. It seems pretty nice but nothing ground breaking. Honestly probably...

    clothing made in China

    For what it's worth, I just checked the tags on all my Sitka gear (about 25 pieces) and about 16 out of 25 were not made in China. Mostly El Salvador, Vietnam, and there might have been one other. I agree it should be made in better places if it's gonna cost that much. I recall John Barklow...

    Is my uncle out of his mind?

    I'm getting a compound bow for the first time in about ten years. I've been tinkering with traditional and got pretty serious with it last year but for various reasons I'd like to get a compound for whitetail hunting (from the ground). We're saving for a house right now so I gotta keep it within...

    Jeep getting ransacked by Griz

    Update: Heard back from forest service, they said there's no problem with parking there. So nothing to worry about! (Legally)

    Jeep getting ransacked by Griz

    Honestly I'm about 70% worried about forest rangers being jerks about it and 30% about bears. I've done the trail twice now, once by myself for most of it. Never seen a bear or any sign of one. But we've always got our bear spray and 10mm just in case. It does make me a little uneasy leaving my...

    Jeep getting ransacked by Griz

    We're backpacking in the Beartooths for 4 or 5 days. I've been there three times so I'm fairly familiar with the area. We'll be parking my Jeep, which has a soft top, at a trailhead near Cooke City. I know the campgrounds nearby require hard sided trailers. Think it's a bad idea to leave my soft...

    Newer bow most similar to Prime Logic

    Mountain Archery has Prime Logic Ct3 and CT5 for around $570 right now. I believe that's the 2018/19 model? I'm looking for a new compound bow (I've been shooting recurve last few years). But I'm on a pretty tight budget so this bow is appealing to me. My plan would be to order it and have my...

    My First Compound (in quite a few years)

    Well I've shot a handful of bows now. Bear Alaskan, Bear Whitetail Legend pro, Elite terrain, PSE Embark, and a Mathews V3. The PSE felt the best but honestly they all felt perfectly fine and I barely noticed any difference other than weight. I'm trying to get my hands on a prime logic CT3 to...

    My First Compound (in quite a few years)

    I'm wanting to buy a new compound bow for next fall. Would like to get it as soon as I have money for it which should be early summer at the latest. I've been shooting recurve for a few years now but I would like to go back to compound for multiple reasons. I've never had a good compound, the...

    WTS Kiduak Magnum recurve

    I know this is an old post but did you ever sell the bow?

    Back to Compound. New Bow needed.

    Another question. Bear offers a lot of "RTH" or "Ready to hunt" packages on their bows. Is the equipment that comes on them (sight, stabilizer, etc.) any good or is it just cheap stuff they put on so they can say it's ready to hunt? In other words, if that stuff is cheap and likely to be...

    Back to Compound. New Bow needed.

    It looks like I do have a Prime dealer 20 minutes from me. So in general I can't just walk into any shop that's not a dealer and have them work on my bow? Like I said this is all new to me. It's basically my first compound bow.

    Back to Compound. New Bow needed.

    I've been shooting recurve for the last 5 or 6 years. While I enjoy it, I am ready to try a compound bow again. I haven't shot a compound since I was 15 probably, and that was an old 90s Hoyt. Looking for a new bow under $600 if I can. I was originally thinking something like a Bear Whitetail...
