    Pse full throttle with HD cam

    Well I bent a cam bad on my bow. PSE full throttle 60# with 28” draw. Someone suggested looking into putting HD cams on it to improve the draw cycle and get some adjustability. I’m fine going up a bit in draw weight, but unsure of which cams to order to get my draw length correct and how that...

    "Old Rifles"

    This past season I carried my trusty 1937 model 71 Winchester around Idaho, and afterwards decided to take my great grandfather’s interarms 25-06 to Wisconsin. These old rifles carry and point so naturally.

    Sig Cross Goals

    Gonna be that guy to revive this thread. Now that the magnums are out, does anyone know if it’s possible to swap the bolt head out for a magnum? I’d still love to build a light 6.5PRC cross

    Gripping big bore revolvers

    Most of what I own are standard plow handle single actions and semiautomatics. I’ve shot a few super Redhawks in 454, and 460 & 500 s&w but find the recoil impulse much nicer in the Bisley single action for big bores. I’ve since found that I don’t naturally shoot the Bisley grip as accurately...

    Gripping big bore revolvers

    Mine has the white poly grips. It’s doesn’t hurt at all even with very hot loads (unless it gets your knuckle) but it’s very slick and really rolls and moves around. I’m told that’s good, but it’s quite difficult to find a consistent hand placement on the gun that gives control and comfort. Idk...

    Gripping big bore revolvers

    It’s my first Bisley single action, and feels somewhat similar in the hand to my 44 mag redhawk, just scaled up. I just feel that I’m not placing my hands correctly on the gun I guess. I shoot it comfortably, but inconsistent groups OR I shoot tight groups, but smash the heck out of my knuckles...

    Gripping big bore revolvers

    That’s what I’ve been attempting so far. Got it down pretty well with colt loads including some +P loads, but as recoil climbs it becomes apparent from knuckle-bashing that the holds I’ve been trying don’t work well with the combo of my small hands and the large gun. How do you position your...

    Gripping big bore revolvers

    I have a 454 casull BFR Bisley revolver that I’m having trouble shooting consistently. I have multiple revolvers of various chamberings and love shooting/hunting with them. However, when I step up to the casull I have trouble finding a hold that feels comfortable yet allows good control over the...

    2023 Whitetail Meat Pole

    Decided on a spur of the moment trip to Wisconsin with my dad after the MN season wrapped. I had a pretty good morning, and finally took my first animals on public land.

    What Nosler bullet do you prefer?

    My 280 really likes the 140gr partition, but many of my other rifles like the accubond. Both are great performers. I’d give the nod toward the accubond for the higher BC, and just bc it seems to group better in most guns. My gpa has a 300 wsm that loves the 180gr accubond, but don’t overlook the...

    Braggin Board for Fishing!

    Does it count if I mixed up bowhunting and fishing? West central MN, from the front yard. ~31” unique bigmouth buffalo.

    When the Cone exceeds the size of the Animal

    I agree. Shooting plates has more to do with causing the shooter to focus on form and get trigger time imo. It shouldn’t be an indicator of hunting capability at that range. The final decision maker should always be the groups you can consistently shoot at that range. And you cannot call...

    Go to baits

    Another thing to note is MN prohibits using any meat from mammals that has bones in it still. So no carcasses unless you debone. And no swine unless it’s cured pork like bacon or ham.

    Any New ideas for backpacking food/snacks?

    +1 on the freeze dried fruits. Saving up to hopefully buy a freeze drier next year. Figured it would unlock lots of possibilities.

    9mm for deer hunting?

    It can be done ethically and effectively so long as you set reasonable limits to your skills and the platform you’re using (like every hunting situation ever). If I were to use my g19 for instance, I would choose the hornady monoflex handgun hunter load. ~95% weight retention and 20”+...

    7-30 waters FP bullet sourcing

    For those of us out there that own and shoot our 7-30 waters lever guns, does anyone have a current source for suitable hunting bullets? Seems like everything has been discontinued, apart from the hawk 140gr. I’ve always loaded and shot the 120gr, but might have to test the heavier option.
