    Boots That Don't

    Come apart at the seems. Are there boots less prone to it than others. Both Thors and Colorados have done it pretty quickly to me. Maybe I'm on my toes to much and need to go with a less stiff option? Is a full leather upper the way to go?

    MTN TOUGH KB20

    Just finished the last workout of the 4 week kettlebell program. Workouts take a kettlebell or two and a pull up bar. Everything is around 50 minutes and you follow along with the video. I didn't think I would like having to watch the video throughout the workout but grew to like it. Lots of...

    Shot Sequence in the Field?

    In practicing for the cold bore challenge I've noticed that I don't always do everything I can to facilitate success. Such as utilizing options for rear rifle support. Double checking bubble and so on. What are you guys doing to ensure that doesn't happen to you? Thanks

    Heavy for Caliber Bullets with Short Barrel?

    Will have an 18in barrel for 6.5 PRC on Rem SA clone in a couple months, hopefully. Question is would using a lighter bullet than the 147 ELD-M or 156 Berger EOL Elite Hunters be beneficial with the short barrel? Does a short barrel affect your choice of projectile weight?
