    **** Tac vanes - avoid and save your money

    Been fletching for years, thought I'd give the Driver vanes a try. Heard all the horror stories, can't be that bad, right? Tac wraps, Tac pen, Tac glue, keeping the "system" together to minimize variance, following their directions exactly. E.X.A.C.T.L.Y 100% failure on all 8 vanes of my...

    Kifaru alternatives ...

    Have a Duplex-1 and an AMR-2 with a tactical frame. Tried 4 belts (old med, new med, old large, new large), none of them fit me (and/or have the slippery buckles) and the "Marge" is no longer offered for sale. No issues with MH, Gregory, Osprey, or Exo previously, seems to be only with...

    Messing around with my Hoyt...

    Here's a curiosity, at least to me ... I've got, as far as I can tell, a 32" draw. New 60X strings, Nitrum 34LD with 32" 'E' modules, put 31.5 'D' modules in, stop set to 'D', and the bottom cam was hitting long before the top. ATA was good at 34.5", scale showed 72lbs on bottomed-out 60-70...

    Colorado 3rd season rifle unit 77 elk ... ?

    Deer everywhere, all of our group tags are filled, but we cannot find elk. Anywhere. Even the "normal" spots from previous years do not even have sign. Anyone tagged out in the area this year? TIA! -mox

    Last minute CA archery deer advice ... ?

    I held off on deer this year to save cost and vacation time for a 3rd season Colorado elk hunt ... which just fell through. So back to deer. I'm looking at the only zones still open in California, the General season D-zones way down south. I've never really been down there and it looks pretty...

    Illuminated reticle vs better glass ...

    Better glass really helps in the low-light environments but illuminated reticles will as well. Illumination also helps for dark-woods, dark animals on dark backgrounds, and animal blobs (eg, black bears) Where do you put your money? Better low-light glass, or illuminated reticles where the...

    ASAT leafy

    Bought a bunch of non-patterned clothing thinking I'd wear the old ASAT leafy over the top. But there's obviously a reason it's not common. Too many snags? Or something else? Seems ideal to be able to hunt in, basically, "whatever" since it's a mesh oversuit but has anyone actually tried it...

    Cablela's Alaskan Guide 6-person dome tent, new but dusty

    This is not a solo backpacking tent but an outfitter tent. Cabela's Alaskan Guide 6-person tent This has the rainfly one version back, so the picture is not completely accurate. It is a 6'3" high dome and has excellent reviews (460 reviews, 4.8/5.0) The nylon case is dusty but the tent is...

    Grrr, so annoying - a tale of woe and peep recommendation.

    Deer season came and went while I dealt with bow-troubles. Turkey season is about to do the same. Having trouble with the old bow not fitting ... got a new one! Using a bow-scale on the new one ... bow-scale handles bend at full draw, yanking it out of my hand. Not quite a dry-fire since it...
