I have a Banish Backcountry. Being my first one I don't have much to compare it to. It is louder than I expected. I'm very interested in one of Unknown Suppressors models for my next one
I apologize if there's already a thread on this but I just found out that SCOTUS denied Iron Bar's appeal in the Wyoming corner crossing case, meaning the ruling of the 10th circuit stands, in favor of the hunters. While this does not address the issue nationwide, it does establish good...
It becomes increasingly clear that R and D are just two wings of the same bird. Something is going to have to give eventually. In the meantime, everyone else has to pay for their buffoonery.

I put in for the secondary draw this year too. Never have bofore but there was a couple tags available in an area where I know where to start looking lol. Fingers crossed, we shall see.
Sooooo we can resume our regularly scheduled programming and get back to bickering about NR fees, influencers, lighted nocks, cartridges and such now? 😂
