    Range bag?

    What do folks use for a range bag? I end up carting around a pile of stuff in a big canvas tote, and it seems everything I need is buried in the bottom under a layer of ammo, magazines, chamber flags, shooting bags, notebooks, target dots, staples, allen wrenches, rangefinder, etc. ive looked...

    fact or fiction: higher scope height increases cant error (and how much)

    I am sure this has been discussed, but seems to have some myth surrounding it, so figured I'd start a new thread to ask specifically. I can find a number of articles on the topic of cant, but few that quantify the error including scope height as a variable. rifle cant causes error at long...

    Sold +\- 475 pieces Hornady 1x fired brass

    I have 10lb, 10 5/8oz (170 5/8 ounces) of Hornady 6.5 creedmoor once-fired brass. By my math 10 shells=3.5oz, so .35oz each. 170 oz divided by .35= 485, I posted 475 to be safer. Thats a 1-gallon ziplock. All shot from either my tikka ctr or my tikka T3x. This was all the “American gunner”...

    Anyone interested in hornady brass?

    I have hornady once fired brass in 6.5 creedmoor. About 450-500 pieces right now. I dont reload and no one I know reloads for 6.5cm. I know hornady brass is not as well thought of as some other brands, is this stuff that has enough value to someone for a trade or to ship, or is this “leave it at...

    Which states prohibit or limit field-quartering of big game?

    My state (VT) apparently allows it in some cases, but it is universally ambiguous and there is zero clear published guidance. I am initiating the process with the board that does hunting and fishing regulations in my state to clarify the existing regs and try to make sure that any clarification...

    Anyone used AAC rifle ammo? For practice ammo for precision rifle (as opposed to volume-oriented 5.56, etc) and moderate (600 and in) ranges, how was it?

    Steels, sharpening, edge angles?

    Been learning myself up on blade steels just enough to get myself into trouble. For the most part have always used knives with “genuine steel” blades, ie unspecified steel. Ive used some of the replaceable blade knives and really dont care for them. Some knives Ive liked better than others, but...

    Cleaning knives with cord-wrapped handles?

    I have never owned one of these, but just wound up with one. All my other knives either have a smooth wood or some sort of synthetic grip that washes off blood, hair, bits of fat, etc really easily. For those of you that use a knife with a cord-wrapped handle, how do you keep the cord itself...

    Load carrying day pack+?

    Thinking about getting my brother a new load carrying pack. He hunts a lot in northeastern wilderness areas as well as in the west, so he needs the ability to carry a broken down animal out, but its mainly a day pack with occasional use for shorter overnights. He is currently using an...

    Camp road water bars & snow plowing?

    Wondering if anyone has experience with gravel road maintenance and snow plowing that could give me some insight. I did a Google search, but did not find much.

    WT jackets—do you use the “harness pass-thru”? How?

    A number of jackets ive seen made for whitetail hunting—which seem to be the only quiet fabrics around that arent fleece or wool—have a hole between the shoulder blades for a tree stand harness to pass thru, the idea being that you can wear the jacket over your harness by passing the clip-in...

    How to remove broken off/pushed-in nock?

    The good news is he weighed in at 158lb, blood trail was good and tracking job was barely long-enough to be interesting. The bad news is my nockturnal lighted nock broke off leaving only the pressure-fit stud inside the arrow shaft. My inserts are solid as well, so I cant use a piece of stiff...
