    I'm heading to Kodiak in early November for a week long trip and am considering picking up a Western Mountaineering Versalite.

    Experience with phone GPS (OnX, GAIA, etc)?

    Heading to a 7-10 day hunt in Alaska in a few months and looking to make sure I am covered on the GPS front. Does anyone have experience on longer hunts with phone GPS, or any suggestions? I have an iPhone 12 and Anker battery bank, and was considering trying it out in airplane mode, but would...

    Sitka Jacket Options and Thorough Neurotic Analysis

    I'm a little crazy when it comes to purchasing gear. I'm working through a few options for a mid weight outer/insulation layer. Goal is to get a piece with the versatility to use in my system in both the midwest for tree stand whitetail (archery through early rifle) and CO 1st/2nd rifle. I...

    Best method to print large maps (ie 36x24)

    Hey all, looking to print a large decent definition map of our fall hunting camp area. I have access to color plotters and would like to print off a large 36x24 map to hang on the wall. Any suggestions on how to pull it up on a mapping application to print or create a PDF? I figure if I could...

    WTS Sitka Stratus Jacket and Pant in Elevated II - Size Large

    $450 plus shipping! Excellent condition, lightly used. Purchased for earlier archery season and sized for layering when cold - but ended up just using my fanatic set whenever it gets cold and want to get something in medium.

    Nightforce SHV vs NXS

    Trying to finalize my decision between the NXS 2.5-10x and the SHV 3-10. I can get the NXS for around $500 more than the SHV. Does anyone have experience with both of them and could make any recommendations one way or another?

    .280 AI Redding Type S Die Set

    Looking to upgrade to a Redding die set for my .280ai. I'm looking at the Redding Type S Match Bushing 2-Die Set from Midway. It looks like it includes a Type S FL Bushing Die and a Competition Seating Die, I assume the competition seating die because I can find no other Type S seating die from...

    Knife Sharpening Techniques

    As I try to improve my sharpening I'd like to have some general discussion. I have no problem achieving a ridiculously sharp and very durable blade with my Lansky system, but it is very time consumers and inefficient. Hoping to hone my technique into a faster method. This is what I have for...

    Tikka T3X Lite 300 WM Muzzle Brakes

    Considering muzzle brakes for a Tikka T3X Lite in 300 WM. What are you all using and with what threads? From what I can find the muzzle diameter of the T3X Lite is .610" which limits a lot of the top general recommendations like a APA Little Bastard. I'm leaning towards a APA Micro Bastard -...

    Thoughts on CA Ridgeline .300 WM with a Leupold VX-5

    Looking for my first mountain hunting rifle in .300 WM for upcoming elk and caribou hunts. Formally trained military sniper so don't want to under gun myself, but don't have the budget for what I'd like to shoot. Would like to spend between $2k-$3k. Would prefer to stay away from going too...

    Kifaru Duplex Lite vs Stone Glacier XCurve Frame

    I'm transitioning from a very well used and abused Mystery Ranch 6500 on a nice frame and looking to upgrade to a Kifaru or SG pack system. Are the current versions of either of their frames (Duplex Lite/XCurve) considered superior to the other? It seems the Kifaru's get a whole lot of love on...

    Pelican 1745 Bow Case Review

    I haven't seen a lot of review on the Pelican Air 1745 Bow Case so I thought I'd share my initial thoughts. As a disclaimer: I did not receive the case for free, but I did receive a discount through a sponsorship. This is my first bow specific hard case. I have previously used soft cases for...

    Anyone have a Pelican Air 1745 Bow Case?

    Could anyone share the actual usable dimensions for the bow section with the cover attached and the padding on both sides\?. My bow is about 15.75" and want to make sure too much space isn't lost for me to be able to use the case without removing my sight. Thank you!

    MBG 1st/2nd Axis Adjustment Misnomer

    TLDR: MBG 1st Axis adjustment is just a misnamed 2nd axis adjustment, and the 2nd axis adjustment just sets the level - not the sight. I see a LOT of confusion on here about axis adjustments, and a lot of the information on the vendor sites make it a lot worse! Engineer here - overthinking...

    2" ATA Difference

    Is 2" difference in ATA and 1-2" brace height difference that drastic? I'm a 28" draw length, 70 lb weight. Really trying to understand the preference and the differences between the Hoyt Helix/Ultra and the Realm/X/SR6/SS. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Mystery Ranch 6500 - Any Reason to Keep?

    Have a well used Mystery Ranch 6500 and starting to gear up for a few 7-10 day hunts in Alaska in the near future. Looking at all the new hunting packs they are a fraction of the weight of the 6500 (10 lbs). Would the upgrade be worth it?
