    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    Down 11. I've just been tracking my food, cutting back drinking alcohol, and walking several days a week. Hope to keep it going into the spring and drop another 10. This seems to be the hard part for me--sustaining it. chris

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    I guess we are similar then. When I was running and doing triathlons I ate like crap, but you would never know it because I worked out enough that I never gained weight. Then I had a knee injury which sidelined me and well, the rest is history. I call those times 30 pounds ago. chris

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    I'm not sure if it will help, but I did do a Masterclass from the guy who wrote Atomic Habits. I thought it was pretty good. One thing he had that really struck me was that he has a "never twice" rule for himself. So, he can miss a scheduled workout one day, but he doesn't allow himself to do...

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    That probably works, but not for everyone. Or at least it's not gonna work for me. I need to set some parameters and have some system. I don't want a fad diet or crazy detailed plan, but it needs to be more specific than, "just eat healthier". I am starting with a 20 day fast from alcohol...

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    I'm thinking along the same lines and not just because it's New Years. My biggest problem is that my job is terrible for sleep, stress, eating and trying to keep a schedule. I don't work 9-5 like most do. Let's jut say that I have a lot going against me. Which brings me to the biggest...

    7mm-08 all around hunting load

    I recently bedded my Model 7. The Varget loads I was using don't seem to group very good anymore. I decided to go back to the books and try some other powders. I went to the range yesterday with 120 gr. TTSX loaded with IMR4895 and CFE 223. Found two loads that were fantastic with each...

    35 Whelen build Part 2- Update and barrel questions

    The one thing I don't care for in Hammer bullets is the "run them hot" concept. It's just me I'm sure, but the downside of that comes with wear and tear on the weapon and wear and tear on the body. Lot's more recoil because these things need to be flung down range at hyper speeds. That's just...

    35 Whelen build Part 2- Update and barrel questions

    I have some 200 gr TTSX, but I also bought some 250 grain Hot Cors. If I wanted to shoot 180's, I would just pull out my '06. I don't think whitetails will need anything more than the TTSX, but maybe some day I will go after something more stought---maybe something in Africa.

    35 Whelen build Part 2- Update and barrel questions

    Took it out shooting for the first time today. I had a box of Hornady factory loads that were 200 grain. I ended up bedding the stock myself with JB Weld. I figured the worst that could happen is that I mess it up and have to replace it with a different stock. I was so pleasantly surprised...
