I have been given 300$ and instructed to get a pack with it. I have a barneys freighter frame for long trips and heavy loads. I need something for day to couple day trips that is capable of getting antelope, coues deer, javelina size stuff back to the truck. I don't want to make two trips out...
I know I am late to the party but if you haven't gotten it yet, the Barneys freighter frame is unbeatable with heavy akward loads. When I am not carrying it with the barneys bag I keep a good length of P-cord wrapped between the sidebars at about neck height so I wont bump my head on it. When...
I got my bowtech reign 6 out a few weeks ago after 3 or 4 months in storage and started practicing. for a few hundred shots over a few days I shot great, way better than I have any right to after not shooting in a while. Eventually I started blowing fletchings off of arrows. My QAD (HD or HDX...
I'll try to get a pic off my phone but I keep some para cord wrapped around the top of the frame that I use to lash gear to the frame it works very well and its gotta be lighter than cam straps and the P cord us useful for plenty of other things (hanging food away from bears, replacing boot...
I was just touching up the zippers on my old 2200 and got to wondering if they ever figured them out. I have several of their packs, all very comfortable and functional. But all have zippers that fail in no time. My packs are all 5 years old or older, several have been back for repairs that...
I ended up with the black diamond carbon corks. Haven't had the chance to use them but hopefully they will hold up. I am willing do deal with some extra weight if its in a material that wont snap as easily as my past two pairs.
Maybe I'll go ahead and grab a pair of those to try out and hope I can fix the komperdells for diversities sake.
For the record for people who find this post I had a heavy load and fell sideways (uphill). The pole was planted, my external frame pack hit the side of the pole with a heavy load...
Fell on my komperdell ultralight vario 4 compact trekking poles hauling an elk out a few days ago. I really dug them but cant find another pair. I may get them fixed but have another hunt coming up and need to order another set before the hunt. I am looking at the black diamond distance flz...
While I'm in the mood to ask for opinions what are your favorite add on rifle slings?
I currently use a badlands 2200 for hunts when I don't feel the need to haul heavy weight and I am totally comfortable carrying my rifle on the back of it when I'm moving camp. But I have bought a barneys...
I was told 2 to 7 days for my results to come back, they told me about 3 days later my results were negative but they wouldn't put it in writing until it was posted on the official New Mexico covid website. It's been over a month and still nothing...
As far as tuning goes I have tried several fletching styles, I spin my arrows I align fletchings with blades. I have in the past worked very hard to tune the bow to the broadheads as well. While I am able to get my accuracy good enough that I feel confident shooting at animals with them, the...
I have a little more time I will try to input a little more info. My philosophy is that there are essentially 2 modes of failure caused by broadheads. 1 is failure to penetrate to vascular tissue. The other is steering the arrow in such a manner that they do not travel through vascular tissue...
Because I am getting plenty of penetration and to put things simply, I am more afraid of a chance breeze blowing my arrow into an animals stomach where penetration wont help me than of hitting a bone at a point that its thick enough to stop a mechanical but not thick enough to stop a fixed...
