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... -
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

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.

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

Slider Sights - Are They Tough Enough
I've been using the Spot Hogg 'Right On' for the past several years. That thing is bomb proof, but I'm getting the itch to upgrade and experiment with a movable sight. I've looked at the Fast Eddie and see a lot of positive comments about the Black Gold Ascent. I like the idea for practice... -
Lowa Boot Options
First off, I know this has been discussed several times before, so I apologize for beating a dead horse. Looking for advice from anyone who has current first hand knowledge since models have been updated. I've been able to try on some of the lighter weight Lowa boots (Renegade) and the fit...- ajanssen
