    NRA Warns Hunters to Prepare for War

    Back when I had very little money I still chose to support the NRA, but to my frustration they spent every dime of what I DONATED in postage,printing and phone calls asking me to do more.

    RMEF banquet question

    From my experience being a volunteer and just an attendee the problems I have seen are from the people that got a head start before they got to the banquet or the ones that made a few trips to the truck during the event, I don't think it's the "bottomless" option that is the issue if you've been...

    Fly Fishing Set-up for backpacking... Not Tenkara

    same rod I use, as far as the rod tube you can make your own easy enough but I don't use one unless I'm flying.

    Another release question (second try)

    Thanks Dameon thats just the information I needed to get started and you hit all my other questions too I had thought a wrist unit would be more efficient but you explained that so even I understood. when I had the bow restrung they dialed it back below 60 lbs so that should work to get started...

    Another release question (second try)

    I'm getting back into archery after a layoff due to some shoulder injuries but I have never used a release before and just wanted to know where to start. I currently have a 20 year old Bear that I had outfitted for a release a few years ago but never shot it, so does the age of the bow, age of...

    Self Dehydrated Meals

    I do pretty much the same thing but will add extra vegetables etc that I dehydrate separately along with some greens powder, I add extras to my meals that the boys don't always want. I also rinse the ground meat before dehydrating it. lots of good recipes and tips on the backpacking sites.

    Fly Fishing Set-up for backpacking... Not Tenkara

    Part of my dilemma is that my 5wt is a one of those Orvis Encounter beginner set-ups. I love it, I learned to fly fish on it and I have never had a problem with it but I do find myself wanting to spend some more money and go higher quality. A 4wt would be a better "replacement" than the 3...

    Fly Fishing Set-up for backpacking... Not Tenkara

    I have a 3wt in my truck at all times, but it's an 8'6". I've never hesitate using 2 flies depending on conditions,and a dry and weighted midge are certainly doable. like most things in hunting/fishing it's a trade off and not perfect.
