I worked up to the load last year for my son to deer hunt with and all seemed just fine. Regular bolt...

    Help With Single Pin Adjustable Sight Tapes

    Quick question for those of you shooting a single pin adjustable sight. I have an older CBE Tek Hybrid Pro that came on a used bow I bought a year or so ago. I didn't use it because the screws holding the sight tape on were rounded out so the allen key just spun in the heads. PITA. I finally...

    WTT - 16ga Herter's Shotshells (#8 shot) for 6.5 Creedmoor - Colorado Front Range

    I am in search of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition. My son is old enough for his first Colorado deer hunt in October. I have finally found a rifle for him to use. I figure I can find hunting rounds by October (hopefully) but what I really need is for him to get trigger time at the range between now...

    Unit 20 Second rifle over......before it started.

    Thoughts and support to anyone in the path of the Cameron Peak or Calwood fire. I've been watching the closure area from Cameron Peak eat into unit 20 from the north.

    I'm looking to hunt a unit closer to home so my kids can come with me on afternoon/evening hunts. I've not hunted the front range before. I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on unit 20 compared to 29. They both seem to have pretty decent populations and success rates for 2nd rifle...

    I've been looking at either Colorado Rifle Club or Lead Valley Range. Does anyone have experience/opinions about one vs the other. They are both a good distance (hour and a half or more) from my house but finding a range that is not too expensive and has memberships open is a challenge here...

    Snowtrekker Tents?

    I heard a discussion on "Beyond the Kill" a bit ago about Snow Trekker tents. Does anyone have any first hand experience with them? I like the weight benefit of them. Not looking to carry one on my back but space in the truck and ease of single person setup is a concern. I don't currently...

    Just curious if anyone joined in on his town hall meeting. I saw that public lands was an agenda item. I was unable to be part of it. I'd like to know if he said anything of substance.
