    Increasing anaerobic threshold

    Looking for some tips to increase my anaerobic threshold. Currently, I do pretty good when it comes to fitness on the mountain and my solo deer/elk pursuits. I feel my current varied workout routines which alternate between cardio, HIIT, and kettlebells have served me well. From what I have...

    3D printed Mathews/Hoyt quiver adapter

    Have a little downtime and tinkering with my new Mather’s Vertix. Really like my Hoyt 2 piece quiver so I designed and 3D printed adapters so they are interchangeable. Cost me a couple bucks on material. The arrows are as close to the riser as possible (nearly touching the sight bracket). Worked...

    If any Rockslide members applied for a South Cache elk tag, you can thank SFW/MDF for lowering the LE elk quota at the wildlife board meeting this week (against the proposed numbers by the DWR). See for yourself. Here is the link.

This is a controlled tag but there will still be a good number of tag holders (and overlapping general deer hunters) It’s coming up quick so will some scouting trips starting next weekend.

    Tripod recommendations

    I’m prepping my kid for her first rifle elk hunt this year. Looking for tripod recommendations. I have a cheap two legged one that is not sturdy. She’s shooting great off a bench with my -06 but now it’s time to start shootng prone, off packs, with tripods and in awkward situations.

    Browning X-Bolt reviews?

    Has anyone put some time behind the Browning X-bolts? Fit and finish seem nice on the ones I've looked at. I have an older A-Bolt Stainless Stalker in 30-06 and really like it. No problems over the years. Just curious if anyone here has had issues with the X-Bolts. I'm shopping for a 7mm-08 for...

    30-06 Load Recommendations/Q's

    Reaching out for some load advise/suggestions. I recently procured new equipment to start this hobby. It's something I've wanted to get into for quite a while so I patiently purchased equipment as I could. I'm using rifle hunting as an excuse to extend my year...and start a new hobby. As such...

    Tripod rifle mount for Slik Mini

    Heading out on my first rifle deer hunt next week. I have a Slik Mini II tripod with a basic head. Last night I designed and 3D printed a rifle mount in case the situation arises where I have time to use it. Figure if I'm looking at a buck through the spotter that could be the case. Still going...

    Another DIY bino mount

    I didn't want to hijac mcr-85's thread with my pictures so I'm starting this one. After reading his thread I realized I suddenly "needed" one too. I copied his design very closely but couldn't find good strap material. Also, I didn't have a spare receiver for the tripod so I incorporated it into...

    Slik Mini tripod foot

    I lost a tripod foot last year. It turned out to be annoying because the metal leg makes noise on the rocks. I sketched up a new one and 3D printed it. Taped on a small piece of padding for noise.

    3D printed phone holder for spotting scope

    I recently finished up another 3D printed spotting scope/phone adapter. I made it in two pieces and bonded them together with plastic JB weld. The tabs/slots are to ensure alignment. I made one for a different phone last year and it was a PITA using super glue and trying to line up the edges. I...

    Shooting sticks for elk hunt?

    Headed out for my first ever rifle elk hunt October first. It's a controlled hunt in Idaho in the same area I usually bow hunt. I have a set of inexpensive shooting sticks. They are loud and cumbersome. Since I rarely hunt with a rifle, I have been practicing quite a bit shooting off my pack...
