    Shooting a nanny

    I took a nanny two years ago on a nanny-only tag in CO. Our genetics produce some huge Nannies and taking them is necessary for herd health. I guess it's all dependent on the area you're hunting. It was an amazing hunt and now that proud goat is displayed in my home. And it tasted great. I...

    Kuiu sleeping bags/expensive gear

    This is where it's at. If you buy quality gear you most won't have to upgrade ever or if you do it will be because of a freak accident or 10 years later. For example, my WM down bag will last until the time I get too close to the fire (again), and my kifaru pack will only need to be upgraded...

    Hamskea

    I'm with JD on this. By far the most bomber rest I've ever used. The adjustability is almost infinite so if you're a tuning geek -- like just about everyone on this site is -- you can really play with it until you get exactly the arrow flight you're looking for. It also comes with some great...

    Sleeping in your bag with clothes

    Yes, I am BACK! And yes I'm shouting. Been busy man, but I'm ready to piddle away countless hours on Rokslide once again.

    Credit cards and applying for tags??

    I used to take out a new card every 18 months or so -- and cancel the old one when it was time -- so I could take advantage of the 0% interest for 18 months. I usually would get 2 seasons out of this. I'd pay $100 or so each month just to whittle it down and then wait for the refund checks and...

    Bitz jig with right helical clamp

    Did you shift the upper and lower parts of the jig in opposite directions with nearly equal offset? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

    Bitz jig with right helical clamp

    Set the arrow in the jig and then place the clamp in place with a vane. Loosen the adjustment screws and slowly adjust until you get solid contact along the entire vane. Tighten it down and you'll be good to go. I started with straight and went helical and get perfect arrows after adjusting.

    Hamskea Versa Rest instructions?

    Had to go with the deep groove launcher due to fetching contact. LOVE my versarest. I also use the arrow clip in the front of the rest and the little rubber rest on the back to minimize noise. Best rest I've ever had.

    Fletching glue

    I found the number one criteria for me is the use glue with a good cap that has the pin poker on the inside to keep the tip from getting clogged. Gold Tip has this so I stopped looking there. Also tried Goat Tuff and was not impressed.

    New KUIU

    Well, I fell for it and called up Kuiu to make sure my stuff didn't get lost. They explained that there was one half day where they had a computer glitch and everything was backed up on paper and assured me no orders were "lost". So all is good. No need to call in. Unless you want to.

    Anyone ever actually used a Space Blanket?

    I saw an episode of dual survival where they lined a dug out tree with the space blanket and then closed it off the space with clear plastic. Outside they built a huge bonfire. The heat bounced off the space blanket and was trapped by the plastic and they were toasty warm! That's all that comes...

    Which bino harness?

    Of all the pouch style harnesses I think the FHF is one of the most low profile since it's made to your bino spec's. I tried an Alaska Guide Creations pouch and it just wasn't for me. That didn't feel low profile. I think the FHF or KUIU is about as low profile you're going to get if you want a...

    Video review of the Black Gold Ascent

    About a month ago I called Steve up looking for a new sight. He turned me onto the black gold after answering all my questions. I'm very happy with it and just got done sighting it in for the sight tape tonight using the method in his video. Just to double check I also produced one using the...
