    Anyone ever use a table saw to cut arrows?

    I have some carbon arrows coming that I need to cut. I usually use my demel tool and just use some scraps to make a quick jig. They don’t come out super square and I spend a good bit of time on the squaring tool. I was planning on making a dedicated jig, but I realized that I already have a...

    Looking for DIY Deer Processing Ideas

    I took a deer to be processed and do not want to pay those prices every time I shoot a deer. I’d also rather process my own meat, so I’m looking for some ideas to process deer in my garage once it’s cold enough. I figured mounting a harbor freight winch would be the way to go. I’m also open to...

    Who’s building arrows yet?

    I spent the day yesterday putting some arrows together for the fall. I went with victory RIPs and 70 grain ethics inserts. I had several different colors of wraps and vanes and couldn’t decide what color combo to go with and ended up with a hodge-podge of arrows. Went with 4 fletch, not sure if...

    Tarnished Brass

    I have quite a bit of very old brass that I’m getting ready to reload. I ran it through a tumbler with walnut media and nu-finish. They shined and cleaned up pretty well but a lot of them still have some type of dark tarnish. Any tips to remove that? It’s smooth to the touch and seems like it’s...

    Varying Load Data

    I started piecing together components as I find them to re load in the off season. I found hornady interlocks in 270 130 grain, and Accurate 4350 powder. As per the $1 I paid hornady via their app for load data on 270 win, the minimum load for that powder and bullet is 48.6 grains and max 54...

    Which manual would you add?

    I’m interested in starting to reload. Nothing fancy just basic hunting cartridges in 270 win. A family member has a reloading kit they are going to give me so that will offset the initial cost. I’ve been reading through posts and watching tutorials and I think if I stick to basic low volume...

    Ruger M77 Stock Upgrade

    I have a Ruger M77 MkII in .270 that my father got me in the 90’s as a first rifle. It’s a great rifle and the only one I use or need for hunting. The stock had been cut down years ago to fit me a little better when I was a kid so I’m debating putting a new stock on it. What stock would your...

    CO OTC Archery Elk Hunt Report

    This is a long one. I just got back from my first ever Archery Elk Hunt and wanted to give a report. Although I didn’t shoot one, this trip was an astounding success! I saw 6 different elk, had three spikes at 15 yds, a cow at 15 yds, and played cat and mouse with two bulls bugling back and...

    First Elk Hunt Coming Up, Thanks for Your Help

    I have been planning my first western elk hunt for a year and a half. My obsession for this adventure started after watching Meateater and seeing so many backpack hunts and hunting adventures. I started consuming content on YouTube and quickly found Randy’s videos as well. I stopped hunting...

    Tire Ratings

    I’m going to replace the stock tires on my Ram 1500 for some A/T tires. The options I’m looking at have different ratings, and I’m not sure what I will actually need. I mostly drive all highway out East, with occasional dirt roads for hunting and fishing adventures. There are a handful that are...

    What are you tying?

    Since most of us are looking forward to spring activities and are also stuck in the house, I thought I would take advantage of the quarantine and work on my fly box. I haven’t tied flies in over a year and have neglected my fly boxes. This week I tied some shimmer stone flies. One of my...

    Stabilizers, do you hunt with one?

    I bought a new bow and it shoots great. I put my stabilizer on it and while shooting I noticed I was torquing my bow to the left. I spent 45 minutes driving myself crazy trying to figure out why I was torquing because when I originally shot the bare bow at the store I had no torque. Eventually I...

    Sharpening Stones/ products

    I did a search but did not find much info on this. What is everyone’s preferred method for sharpening items at home? I previously bought some cheap wet stones from amazon, and they worked well but I didn’t like soaking them and how long it took to dry out. In fact I put them away wet and came...

    Is this hikeable?

    I’m in the planning phase of picking areas to hunt for an archery elk hunt. Scouring OnX and paper maps I was interested in this slope, but after looking at the elevation gain I realized it’s much steeper then it looks. For those of you with more experience what is the suck level of this slope...

    How to Carry Camera in Back Country

    I recently acquired a Sony A6000, and was wondering what the best way to carry and protect it would be while backpack hunting. I looked at the Outdoor Research padded cells, but from the picture they looked like an old school lunch bag that kids use and didn’t look that protective for the money...

    Nemo/First Lite Scout Sleeping Bags

    I’ve been eyeing one of these up for a while, but can’t find any reviews on the web about them. The specs and pricing look pretty good, a bit smaller and lighter then the bag I have now. Anyone have any experience with these?
