    Tikka T3x stainless 300 win mag mag issue

    Good morning/afternoon, Magazines are difficult to seat unless I’m putting pressure on the forward end of the bottom of the magazine. Also, the magazine will not drop free and feels “jammed” in there. I have to put downward pressure via the breach in order to pop it out. This happens will the...

    Snake identification

    We found this snake in our yard, which seems to have lost a battle with a Black Widow. I have my suspicions, but my wife’s opinion differs. Any ideas? *Edited to add: I’ve been informed that it’s a Desert Night Snake. We’re in southern Arizona if that helps. Sent from my iPhone using...

    How do you guys manage your time?

    Brand new hunter here, looking to fill a tag in December. Being as I’ve never been, and I’m going solo, I do know scouting is important. I have an area I want to scout, that’s maybe an hour away from where I live. The complication is that I work 5-6 days a week, have a six month old, and the...

    How often should I wax my bow string?

    Good morning, Just had my post 200 round bow inspection at the pro shop. I suppose it's a good thing since the timing was a bit off, and some other things needed tightening.

    How long should I be able to hold full draw?

    Good afternoon folks, I'm curious as to how long I should be able to hold my bow at full draw, understanding full well that this could be wildly subjective. I'm trying to understand and/or identify if my poundage is too high, or if I have an incorrect draw length. I went to the pro shop where I...

    Javelina in my back yard just now

    So here I am, surfing this forum when one of my dogs starts huffing. I get annoyed and get up to send him outside hoping he was just having one of those 101 Dalmatian moments. I open the sliding glass door to the back yard, which is directly in front of where Im sitting, when both my dogs take...
