    Air pressure reality

    Yup that is definitely simpler I didn’t realize you were talking about a unit with onboard weather info and ballistic calculations. I thought you were talking about manually entering environmental conditions into a ballistic calculator. I’ll end up getting a unit like that when I have the money...

    Air pressure reality

    I’ve been using density altitude (DA) instead of pressure for the last year or so in the shooter app and it’s way simpler. All you need is temperature, elevation, and an DA chart and you’re good to go.

    14 NR Colorado Points

    My buddy had 12 points going into the draw last year. He decided to burn them on a muzzleloader tag that he could've drawn with a few less points, but it was nice going into the draw knowing he should get the tag and we started planning immediately. We ended up having an awesome hunt and an...

    Leather Lined boots/ Hanwag Yukons- anyone?

    You say your leather lined boots dry quicker, my question is have you worn them dry or are you saying the dry quicker on a boot drier? I have terrible luck with membrane lined boots and they seem to always start leaking for me in wet brushy terrain. I'm tempted to try a pair of the leather lined...

    DIY Rokstok Modification

    She’s definitely not the best looking gun out there but lucky for me I don't really care as long as it shoots good!

    DIY Rokstok Modification

    I was a little bit worried about this but it's working well for me. I did have low talley lightweight rings before and those might've been a little on the low side for me, but now with the rail and low warne mountain tech rings, I'm lined up about perfectly.

    Hunting with Non-Illuminated FFP

    I’ve had no issues at all using my SWFA 3-15 that’s not illuminated.

    DIY Rokstok Modification

    After seeing stock modifications others like @ResearchinStuff and @PathFinder have done to make their guns more shootable and easier to spot their own impacts, I had decided that I was going to try it myself. Then with the Rokstok being built, I used that as a template to modify my original...

    Best adhesive for bonding pic rail to receiver?

    I just did one with JB Weld because that’s what I had at home. First time permanently bonding one so I’m hoping it’ll work.

    Bear Hunting Mistakes?

    In that situation I think I would try setting up the bait in a way that you can possibly get a look at it from a couple hundred yards away and stalk into it if a bear is on it. I know that's easier said than done since I also hunt north ID, but it sounds like they know when you're sitting and...

    Tent Question: Hilleberg Anjan or Stone Glacier Skyscraper

    I've looked at the rogen, but the price is just too much for me to stomach right now which is why I've been looking closer at the skyscraper. If money was out of the question, I'd have the rogen 2 on its way.

    Tent Question: Hilleberg Anjan or Stone Glacier Skyscraper

    I've been thinking about the anjan 3, but my only hesitation is other than sheep hunting, I would be using it solo most of the time. What didn't you like about the SG?

    Tent Question: Hilleberg Anjan or Stone Glacier Skyscraper

    Would you suggest going with the SG or another tent if I wasn’t going with one of the GT models? I’m a little worried about how long the GT models are and being limited in campsites if we end up staying up high instead of in the bottoms. The potential benefit of leaving the body and just using...

    Tent Question: Hilleberg Anjan or Stone Glacier Skyscraper

    Thanks for this detailed breakdown! The SG not being able to pitch fly first is definitely a downside, but I figured I'd be able to work around this. I know there are workarounds to pitch fly first, but it just isn't as easy as the Hillebergs. Another con you brought up is the 20D floor which is...

    Tent Question: Hilleberg Anjan or Stone Glacier Skyscraper

    That's a good deal, thanks for the heads up!
