    Rain Jacket- Experienced Opinions-Swazi, Sitka Etc.

    Hello, looking for some input into a new Rain jacket. Ive used an arcteryx alpha sv and been happy with it, but after warrantying my last alpha sv, seeing arcteryx's new prices, hideous colors, and thinking (probably too much) about UV brighteners, Im considering other options, specifically the...

    EMR II upgrade to Fulcrum?

    Hello fine citizens of Rokslide. I have an EMR2. I use it for day and multi day hunts. l love the versatility and it seems to do the job for a one bag to rule them all type situation. It is a bit strappy. I'm debating whether or not to mod my EMR2 (zipper to connect the wings) or sell it and...

    Kifaru shoulder straps

    Hello. 2 questions. I want to check what size the shoulder straps on my old Gen 2 tactical duplex frame are, as I have never gotten them to fit well. What's the best way to tell? I don't see a size tag on them. Also are new duplex shoulder straps compatible with a gen 2 tactical frame? Thanks...

    Seek Outside- Why not?

    Im wondering why seek outside packs arent more popular? They seem to be lightweight, well designed, and cheaper than many other high end options, but I dont hear them being discussed with the same vigor as some of the other brands.

    Monster xlr8 tearing left

    My 2010 mathews monster xlr8 (25 inch draw 65#, 26" arrow) is tearing hard left. Underspine is doubtful as I tried various arrows (300s and 350s), with less point weight, turning my bow weight all the way down, moving the rest, and nothing helped. I know my form isn't perfect but I tried a few...

    Help me build a moose/deer hunting arrow!

    So I'm a weirdo with a 25" draw shooting a mathews monster xlr8 (360FPS IBO) @ approx 63#.

I've had a hell of a time getting...

    Mountain Tactical Institute Mountain programming and discount code

    Does anyone here have experience with mti's mountain programming? I figure their mountain base Helen is what I'm looking for. Side note, does anyone know of a discount code? Full price is a bit steep for me to take the leap. Thanks

    Short draw advice

    I have about a 25" draw pulling about 65# on a mathews monster xlr8. I live in Canada so moose, elk and large alberta deer are both an option. Ive been using montecs but im interested in trying mechanicals. My bows IBO rating is very fast, but I know short draw/low energy can cause issues with...

    Arrow Building

I shoot approx 65# out of a Mathews monster xlr8 (fast with 5"brace height) with a 25" draw length. I used to shoot Gold tips with a 100 grain broadheads and they were good enough out to 40 or...

    Ulralight stock recommendations

    I have a savage 16 lightweight in 6.5 CR and I'm thinking about upgrading the stock, while staying as light as possible and compact. Suggestions? I was set on wildcat composites up here in Canada but they said they don't make savage stocks, and they didn't seem interested in starting.

    Athlon Midas 10x42

    Anyone heard of phony Athlon binos? I got a good deal on Amazon, came with packaging and manual. All looked legit to me. But the binos don't seem to be focusing properly. Compared them to some Vortex Vipers and the difference was night and day. The Midas binos seemed not even quite as good as...
