    New Bow!

    After shooting nothing but PSE for the past 10+ years... I made the switch. Here's my new 2011 Bowtech Destroyer 350 Black Ops. I also shot the Insanity, but went with this one for the lower price (last year's model) and the fact that I like the design a little better. I have big plans for it...

    Bowtech Insanity

    Anyone here shot one or have one? Thoughts? I'm gonna try to track one down to shoot this week. Looks pretty sweet, and I am getting close to retiring my current setup.

    Leica and Swaro Rangefinding Bins

    Any idea why on earth Leica continues to place the button on the left side?? And why the new Swaro EL Range has it on the left side too??? I would love to have a pair of the EL Range, but being a right handed bowhunter makes it very hard to use them. So you get in bow range, holding the loaded...

    Camofire- Excellent Optics Headsup for TODAY

    Got an email last night, it said today sometime they will be selling the Zeiss Conquest 10x40 ABK.

    I want to hunt antelope next season!

    So here is my question... do I use my 3 NV lope points for a mediocre tag (if there is such a thing) there, or do I get an OTC tag in another state? My dad and I both would like to hunt them next season, probably with rifles. We both have 3 points in NV. There are a number of tags there that we...

    Rifle Project Complete- pics included.

    I'm all done with my DIY work one my Winchester M70 30-06. Glass bedded the action, strengthened and inletted the forend for a free float, took the trigger down to 2 lbs, painted the stock, and topped it with a VX3 3.5-10x50 with the M1 turret. I can't believe how well it shoots. 3 shot groups...

    Action Truing/ Blueprinting

    I'm making some improvements on my Winchester M70 30-06. I ordered a McMillan custom stock (which will take up to 4 months to get), and I upgraded to a VX3 3.5-10x50 scope which I'm sending in for an M1 turret. Got a trigger job too. I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on or experience with...

    2 Muleys Down!

    Got back today from our hunt in Nevada. Conditions were very tough for hunting hard-horned bucks, being that it was 80 degrees during the day at 9-10,000 feet and not much cooler during the night. Half the quakies leaves hadn't even turned yellow yet. The deer were very holed up, in fact we saw...

    Mule Deer Body Depth

    I'm getting pumped for my October hunt and fixing to begin shooting my rifle at some longer distances. Is there a standard that any of you use when it comes to using a muley's body as a holdover reference? I did a search and saw 15" from withers to brisket on a couple sites. That seems a touch...

    Shed hunting near Elko?

    Anyone know where I might be able to take my girlfriend on a hike next week and possibly find some deer/ elk sheds? We are taking a little vacation to Elko to do some fishing, hiking, glassing, and photography. Have most sheds already been picked up by now, or are there still plenty to be...

    132 5/8 Blacktail Buck Down

    First of all, I am going to be kicking myself for a long time for wasting my entire camera battery trying to take pictures through my spotting scope. Because later that evening I took my biggest archery blacktail to date... and I have no field photos of him (although they would have been timed...
