    Release question

    I would prefer a thumb button release for hunting for many reasons stated above. But due to pitching too many baseballs, I have a 15+% right arm-elbow disability that prevents me from using a thumb release. Cannot get the back of my hand to my cheek, with hand-arm turned as such. And doing so...

    Swarovski EL Range 32

    love my Swaro 10x32 EL. Great optic lens used these for years but is not the new RF version. Low light, just before dawns' early light and last evening light, the vision, clarity is exceptionally good. Don't see the need for range finding binocs when archery hunting, binocs yes, RF Binocs 🤷‍♂️...

    Tripod Overload Comparison

    I do a lot of filming, photo of big game with my "truck tripod", a Sirui 7C. Of course, using my Swaro spotter for locating game too. Recent change, from Sirui VA5 to a Geared tripod head, a SunwayFoto GH-PRO II Plus. What a difference! Much improved holding power, ease of adjustment as spotter...

    How will 75% Tag Allocation Affect Preference Points in CO?

    for total dollars, more like residents would need to pay 5x the current price for an elk tag at 90/10 and no NR OTC... And then still a considerable shortfall from historical and budgetary numbers for elk license sales. One thing politicians know, is how to think like a business, busn-person...

    How will 75% Tag Allocation Affect Preference Points in CO?

    NR will lose opportunity to draw tags, be a bit harder with new ratio limitations. Remember the percent ratios 65/35 and 75/25 are designated as UP TO. In other words, not guaranteed tags to NR in that 35% or new 25% ratios. Limits place that non-residents cannot draw more tags than the...
