    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    It will go down as the pandemic that caused the TP manufactures to go into 24/7/365 mode just to keep up with demand. Other than that who knows? I personally believe that the press is making more of it than they should. Remember swine and bird flu? Most don't.

    Check out this KILLSHOT...

    You will never see a spring bear season back in Colorado. It would take another voter referendum to get rid of the one that passed years ago and that isn't likely to happen with the populace that is in place now. I will say one thing, that if this upcoming wolf vote does not pass then...

    Favorite Piece Of Gear???

    Sounds like the way that I got my Garmin GPS I found it in a mud puddle that was drying up. I cleaned it up and checked the waypoints and location to see if there was any way to get it back to its owner. I got the serial number off of it and called Garmin's customer service with it. They did...

    Rangefinder recommendations?

    I should of also clarified that I picked one of the best long range hunting bullets along with the max velocity for that bullet out of the loading manual. So actual results will vary and as always shoot your rifle and load at the ranges that you plan on shooting a game animal at and record...

    Rangefinder recommendations?

    Slugs, you need to play around with a ballistics program with different zero yardage. Then look at the + and - at ranges from 50 yards out as far as you intend to shoot to make the right decision for your zero

    Rangefinder recommendations?

    The other thing with a range finder and shooting at distances is do you know the ballistics of the round that you are shooting and or do you have a dial on your scope to adjust for longer ranges? Knowing that a animal is 600 yards away does no good if you can't shoot accurately to that range...

    Why no standardized .24-06 and .26-06 ??

    There is a standardized .25-06, it is called the .25-06 Remington. It was a wildcat for a log time until Remington decided to start building rifles and ammo for it in the late 60's. The .24-06 is still a wildcat and I don't see any manufacture building rifles or ammo for it since it would...
