    HECS Stealthscreen (?!)

    Just head about this company- has anyone tested their stuff? Does the science stand true? I explored the site for a while- looks like incredible stuff? I'm hesitant to buy in...but anyone had any experience with this?? http://www.hecsllc.com/

    ADVICE on selling a used muzzleloader

    I'm looking to sell my muzzleloader this year so I can pick up a new one. But I have NO IDEA where or how to do it- As far as I've seen, most shops aren't willing to sell used smoke poles- anyone found an online resource or particular avenue for selling their muzzleloader?? Thanks in advance- DK

    Alternative "Practice"?

    As a full time employee and a full time grad student (which often equates to being a part-time husband...just ask my wife) I have a hard time making time for getting my practice in at the archery range. Priorities, priorities, I know, but aside from that! How are people / how can people get in...

    The Tax Day Giveaway!

    This is me helping haul out my best friend's Wyoming cow elk. The Mystery Ranch might have made this a little more efficient!

    Shooting at close distances- arrow damage?

    I live in blustery MN, and have taken to shooting at the indoor range I put in my house. Problem is, the range is about 8 feet long. Is there any chance I'm doing damage to my arrows by slamming them into my Block Target at this close of range?

    I tried snooping around for a thread on this, but I wasn't able to dig one up. If there is a thread regarding "when to change your string" or "signs you need a new string," please drop the link in a reply- thanks in advance.

    Montana Black Gold Sight troubles..

    Anyone out there used the MBG sights? My Ascent 3 pin slider just arrived and I'm really excited about it. 2 questions for anyone who uses/has used a MBG: 1. It didn't come with assembly directions- I believe I have it assembled correctly by looking at pictures, but is this standard? There was...

    Keeping your better half happy

    Anyone have "best practices" to share for keeping your non-hunting spouse happy while you run away for 10 days to chase dreams? Gifts? Joint trips to non-hunting destinations? What's worked and what hasn't? Going on 4 years and so far I've learned: Happy wife, happy life. DK

    Water proofing formerly waterproof boots

    Does anyone have tricks or ideas on how to waterproof old boots? My boots still fit well and have plenty of tread on them, but they absorb water like a dry sponge dropped in the lake. They were waterproof when I bought them 3 years ago, but this past fall it had obviously worn off. They are...

    Carrying your Bow

    I'm curious to hear how people carry their bow [or gun] when packing in/out. Do you strap it to your pack? Or carry by hand? [Which would mean you must be as nervous about falling as I am and can't bare the thought of a fall jacking up your beloved weapon?]

    Writing about the Outdoors

    Hello, My 2013 resolution was to improve my writing skills. I was usually able to block off three or four mornings a month and learned I enjoy the process immensely. Does anyone else enjoy writing about their time in the out-of-doors? Not simply the post-kill write up, but the outdoor...
