From practical experience I have learned that the cartridge plays a big part of this. Modern cartridges like 6.5cr and 7prc have much tighter tolerances then cartridges from 50 years ago and subsequently I believe result in a smaller overall statistical distribution between factory ammo...
I had my LH Archimedes put into a KRG bravo. It's coming in at 11 pounds and I just used it to hunt the Frank church. It's a little heavy but I kind of prefer it now.
You really have to start paying attention to the R value when your talking about sleeping directly on a pad below 30degs. I am a fan of Big Agnes but it's a technical bag. A common mistake I see is buying a 0deg bag and then pairing it with a 40 degree pad and wondering why your cold. You really...
So I was Bear hunting this week and went through a bit of a jungle and when I came out my cheekpiece and associated hardware were missing. I ordered a replacement but I think I am missing a bolt or a plate that the thumb screw screws into to lock in the cheekpiece. Could someone take off their...
I've hunted archery for 5 years on the coast but this year im hunting Idaho in September. I drew both multi season tags this year, going to find out if this late rut in muzzle loader is a thing.
For me one of the main draws to the 7mm prc is the high BC of the 170-180gr bullets with velocities around 2900. High BC equates to less wind drift. I am currently shooting ELDMs for their high BC but acknowledge that other bullets probably have some what better terminal ballistics. I shoot a...
I have a guardian, the over tightening issue becomes more pronounced when its hot just unscrew it a little and it will work. You can get a tube and use that to fill but it's kind of a pain. I use Gregory 3d hydration bags that have the correct thread to directly attach. The 3L bags are pretty...
I used the stealth cams last year and as was previously mentioned as soon as hunting season hit the servers crashed. In Washington Elk season is 2 weeks long and i didn't get a update until the last 3 days, happened again in October as well. I am going to keep one stealth cam and try out the...
I was also at the Relentless Rifleman, it was my first long range competition of any kind and it was awesome. If your on the fence I highly recommend it, you will be a better hunter because of it. I entered under the skills division and was mentored by Jon Pynch the entire weekend. Look forward...
