Can flip up scope caps cause grouping issues?
It's a t3X Lite stainless. That's what I'm thinking too. Hopefully that's the case, because when it cleaned up I had 3 shots touching. Much better than spray and pray I've been getting. -
Can flip up scope caps cause grouping issues?
This may be a dumb question, but has anyone ever experienced accuracy issues while using flip-up scope caps? I have Butler creek caps on my Tikka 7mm-08. I've had some issues finding a load the gun really likes. On Friday I gave it a thorough cleaning and headed to the range with some Federal... -
Best things done to improve hunting shooting
Switched to a two pin Spot Hogg Fast Eddie sight. My aging eyes were really struggling with the wad of 5 pins covering up the target. Hasn't bothered me for 20+ years, but last year I started to notice a change. Being able to focus on that single top pin with a clear sight picture has really... -
Gold Tip Velocity
Several reasons I'm looking for a change. 1- I like the flexibility you get with the GT weight system. Easily adjust point weight to find what flies best from my setup. 2- Axis tolerance issues. From my last dozen I culled at least 3 arrows that just would not shoot a fixed broadhead no... -
Gold Tip Velocity
Good point targetpanic. I should have noted I'll be using 300's if I go this route. -
Gold Tip Velocity
Anyone shooting GT Velocity shafts? If so, how's the durability? I've been shooting Axis for quite a while, but my FOC is really low (under 8 if I remember correctly) and I'd like to build some new arrows where I can push up the FOC without adding a ton of overall weight to the finished arrow... -
6 CO Elk Points - Which Unit
I've been saving points for a someday trophy unit, but just can't take the crowds of an OTC hunt again this year. Time to use 6 points. We've got a couple units we're starting to look at but curious if anyone has a short list we should make note of. Archery hunt and we'll probably time it so... -
Gaiters - Do you use them
The dewy mornings are what I had in mind. Hate wet feet. I have to assume they work pretty well for combatting wet grass. -
Gaiters - Do you use them
How many of you use gaiters? I haven't in the past but have also experienced wet boots as a result of wet pants. Thinking about picking up a pair, but curious what others think. -
Which headlamp?
Petzl Actik. I just picked on up and can't believe how bright it is. 300 lumens for supposedly 60 hours, plus two other dimmable levels and red.- ajanssen

Fixed blade broadheads for Wyoming
Steelforce Phatheads. Most accurate fixed blade I've shot. -
Broadheads
I started shooting Steelforce Phatheads several years ago when I was planning my first elk trip, looking for penetration on a big animal. I've killed two elk and several deer with them since. They're small heads so they don't produce the best blood trails, but I swore i'd never switch a few... -
Is merino itchy when new?
I just bought some First Lite merino base layers. The Llano isn't as comfortable as I was expecting, feels a bit itchy. Wondering if the comfort will improve with wearing and a couple washes, or it this what I should expect? Trying to decide if I should throw it in the wash to soften it up or... -
Trekking Pole Recommendations for after the harvest?
I just bought some Black Diamond Ergo corks last night. $120 at REI or Cabelas, but you can find them cheaper a few places online. They seem to be as strong as anything I looked at, and at 18 oz they're reasonably light. For what it's worth, you might find yourself using them before the... -
When do people have time to listen to podcasts...
Always when I'm driving. I have a library of different subjects I listen to. A while back I picked up one of those bluetooth devices that goes around your neck. It works great for listing while working out, working outside, just about anytime I'm not in my truck or at a computer. It...- ajanssen

Randy ( BigFin) which tripod/head ?
How many of you will drag a tripod with you strictly for binocs, no spotter. Specifically for Elk in CO. Is the improved glassing that much better that you'll add 3+ lbs to your pack when not using a spotter? I haven't tried this yet, but hoping I can come up with a decent system of using...- ajanssen

New poles - Leki or Black Diamond
Buying some trekking poles and I've narrowed my choices to the Leki Corklite or the Black Diamond Ergo Cork. The angled grips on the Ergo Cork seems like a good idea for flats and ascents, but I wonder if they could actually be a detriment when descending. Any experience with either of these?- ajanssen

Rain Gear - CO Archery Elk
What's the consensus on carrying rain gear for a 7 day September hunt in Colorado? I'm bringing my FL Stormlight jacket, but wondering if I really need to carry pants. In the previous 3 years I've hunted CO I've never needed rain gear, so thinking about leaving the bottoms at home and shaving...- ajanssen

Buy once, cry once. Kifaru vs. Stone Glacier
MTGomer - It looks like you have one of their hydro holsters on your pack. Does that thing get in the way of your arm swinging when you walk? Not a fan of bladders and looking for a good bottle option, but also hate having waist mounted pouches that your arms drag against with every step...- ajanssen
