    Big Hunt Camp

    One of those toilet over chair things works pretty good, things that sit over the toilet with a seat mounted on them, but 4 legs like a chair. Big hole under it. Could cover it I guess, depends on how much cover you have around. Bucket of lime to sprinkle on everything.

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    Archery is 90% mental, and the rest is just in your head. Shooting past where you can hold, or I should say shooting in a way that your mind isn't comfortable with the float it's seeing is a sure way to drum up problems in a hurry. Shoot less for a while up close, on a large target face. If...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Took 2 shots, underpowered. Needed 5 times the energy to be sufficient.

    Draw Length Opinions Please

    How do you draw the bow? Your elbow is high at full draw, but does it start and stay high through the draw cycle? That will have you using your back to draw instead of your shoulders. You should be drawing the bow by bringing your shoulder blades together. I'm not worried about your...

    Torque insensitive bows

    I use the now discontinued ultraview grip for the engage grip. It's got a little more high wrist to it, flat back. Haven't used the newer replacement of it. Shrewd makes some nice grips as well. https://www.shrewdarchery.com/products/mathews-grip-engage Do you have tape on it? I don't get...

    Draw Length Opinions Please

    For being a trad guy, Trumpkin nailed a few things. But it's still archery form no matter how many strings. Outwardly, it looks close, definitely doesn't need 2 more inches. Here's a visual on bow hand positions. You want a relaxed grip, hand @ 45. I tend to curl my pinky finger I to the...

    I think I’m finally done with Salomon

    Ain't no wonder you into that spear fishing, you ain't got feet, but flippers.

    Best boot with BOA

    To replace a cable, you replace about the hole BOA. The ratchet is a one time use thing it seems. And you need cable cutters to install a new set. They have lifetime warranty, I contacted boa and they sent me stuff to replace both boots free of charge. I really like how easy it is to...

    What would you say is the wildest part of Colorado?

    Problem is if your vehicle is visible anywhere it attracts people like Flys on shit. Don't know how many times I have gone somewhere with no evidence of anyone being there for a while. Once headed out all of a sudden people and there will be 3-5 vehicles where mine was.

    Best boot with BOA

    No. It's hard to even thread the cable back through. I was saying with a regular pair of boots, it's easy to have backup laces. If anything happens to the boa cable, you kinda screwed. I hadn't been paying attention to it, pulling the old cables out, they had wear, should have noticed it but...

    Four words that ruin an elk hunt

    When you get back.... Where are the keys?

    pa tac

    I haven't ever shot tac, but shooting World's there a few times, bring your wallet. Only places to eat anywhere close was at the resort. Seemed like it was 1/2 hr to get into town. So I'd pack food and drinks.

    Best boot with BOA

    I just had to replace the boa on my Lynx. Overall I like them, but when the cable snaps it sucks. I tied it as best I could, tightened it up. Wouldn't have wanted to be packing and dealing with it. Easy to have some backup laces, took about a week to get the replacement boa.

    I think I’m finally done with Salomon

    Thought you just used sandals? I have some Zamberlans that are pretty well finally shot, think they are 7 years old. I wasn't treating them as often as I should, and leather got dried out and cracked. But they are hard sole.

    Easton Axis 4mm, grouping issues?

    It could be, because I'm pulling from memory. But I thought they were all either .340 or .350 spine depending on which shaft it was.

    Optics' Place in Turkey Hunting

    I carry binos all the time basically. They ride in the truck, if I'm out walking around its not uncommon for me to have them. I don't hunt without them, turkeys included. I have used them in early light to find birds in the trees, helps in picking them out in fields, gives me entertainment...

    Easton Axis 4mm, grouping issues?

    A 350 CX should be a 340 or a 350 spine. 450's are actually 300 spine and 250's are 400 spine.

    Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

    County next to me was dry on Sundays til a few years ago. To top it off, couldn't hunt Sundays either.

    Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

    I made a trip to Kentucky years ago and realized the value of a high end cooler. My buddies made a once a week beer run down there, and kept it on ice all week.
