    High quality Cerakote applicator in Northwest/West?

    Anyone have a recommendation for a professional cerakote applicator in the Northwest? I want a single color on a barreled action, but have enough into the project I’d like to get a factory looking finish, not a barnyard rattlecan zombie battleworn finish (done in cerakote)…. There are only two...

    Scopes with Long Mounting Lengths (for non rail mounting)

    What are some of the longer "mounting length" scopes out there? These days, most of the objective ends seem to start tapering very early. This doesn't compliment no-base rings well on a long action. I'm looking for something for a Weatherby MkV with Talley lightweight (fixed rings). I have a...

    Deep Six field points?

    Are there any sources for Deep Six field points other than Easton's? I just saw that Solid has a 175 grain Deep Six which reeeeaallly get my blood flowing, but I'd naturally like to get some 175 grain field points to shoot until August comes. Any leads or solutions folks are using?

    WTB Chill R limbs

    Picked up a tan Chill R sight unseen for a good price, but low and behold there is some epoxy spooged on the side one of the upper limbs and some visible cracks in it... Should have figured and I'm not even upset about it, but that does put me on the hunt for a set of 70 pound limbs. Looking...

    Are 3" parabolic feathers enough?

    Anybody using 3" parabolic feathers to stabilize fast (-ish) mechanical broadheads? I want to feather-fletch some 330 spine Easton Hexx shafts for use in my new-to-me Chill R. (Should be here tomorrow...:cool:) I'd put them on with an AZ Easy Fletch. (long version) Plan is to use them for the...

    Cabela's Outfitter's Berber Fleece? Gone or just out of stock??

    While not as technical as most folks on Rokslide are fans of, does anyone have any insight into the Cabela's Outfitter's Berber Fleece series? I can't seem to find it on their website at all. Just one XXL pant and a Tall jacket... :confused: I had hoped to pick some of this up for my moose hunt...

    What time to go into a remote-ish, ridge line stand?

    In our little neck of the woods in Wisconsin, there are a few places that are relatively remote by Wisco standards (not AK standards...;)) that should have relatively low human traffic and relatively good deer traffic. I know that's a lot of relatives, but everything is. For an early rut...

    Two sights, two arrow sets?

    I have two back to back hunts (literally back to back) for moose and sheep this year and was planning on using different arrow/BH combos for each before I knew they'd be a day apart... I have a different sight for both arrow setups and was wondering if I could swap to my slider and light arrows...

    How long can a recurve be strung?

    I came across one of my wishlist bows for sale this weekend, an early 55# Hatfield Take Down with the grey riser, and didn't think much of it at the time, but in hindsight, remembered that it was strung and hanging up. The guy has had the bow for nearly a year, and I'm doubtful it's been...

    3 vs 2 blade COC for low poundage?

    After much ado, Baber's bow is finally up and running and we're down to just one or two items to check off. The quiver bracket mounted to the sight won't clear the QAD Hunter and the new grip required a reminder phone call to the local, south Anchorage shop (:mad:) so that's likely just getting...

    Horse & Mule Packing Clinic - Kenai Peninsula - April 29th

    While I know Alaska is a small contingent of Rokslide, and horses/mules aren't all that popular in Alaska, but I thought I'd share that the Kenai Peninsula Back Country Horsemen is hosting* a clinic in Soldotna on horse and mule packing. I've ridden horses and have secured loads to inanimate...

    Speed nocks and low draw weights/lengths...

    Are speed nock (or their equivalents) effective on low draw weight and draw length applications? We're getting the bow set up for the misses and looking to extract as much energy as possible from a waaaay short draw length. (She's at 24 inches and not getting any taller) The bow IBO is 311 fps...

    Hill People Kit bags & archery?

    Anyone have any experience with one while archery hunting? Seems like it'd get in the way but also looks like a great way to keep a G20 close. Any/all feedback appreciated!

    Single cam bow and tube peeps

    My old (no longer new) bow has a single cam on the bottom limb. The guys at what seems to be a reputable shop in Anchorage said I couldn't possibly use a lighter peep sight without a tube. I'm trying to get it set up specifically for whitetail hunting (tree stands mostly) at the farm and would...

    S&S Archery Rokslide code?

    For online orders is there a code for Rokslide members or is it only valid for phone orders? Cheers

    Best hard use 5 pin sight?

    It doesn't sound like my Trophy Ridge "React" sight is going to work well with 525-ish+ grain arrows for me at the velocities they'll be going. So for moose hunting this fall, I think I've decided to use a fixed 5 pin sight. I'm not going to be shooting beyond 40 yards so 5 pin ending with a...

    Bee Stinger @ ANC Cabelas - 50ish% off

    Cabelas in ANC has Bee Stinger Sport and Pro Hunter stabilizers for about 50% off right now. Picked up an 8" with weights last night for $35. Had a few left last night, but I'm thinking about scoring another one for the GFs new bow.

    Any recent Winchester "Extreme Weather" SS experience?

    I've been looking at these online for some time and they seem like just about the ideal size, weight, etc for an all purpose Alaskan (non-coastal bear) rifle. I hate that the '06 and .270 Win have 22" barrels, but that's another grip for another time... Does anyone have any recent experience...

    After my resounding success getting a sage Ultra 6000 bag (Thanks Stykbow64 :cool:) I'll take a run at the Ultra Suspension on here. Looking for a Regular/Medium in the grey color. Phantom, Graphite, whatever they call it. The grey one. Doesn't have to be brand new but not looking for a...
