The OMP is similar to the Bitz with a few little upgrades, based on the reviews I've seen. Josh Jones at Podium Archer had a good review of it on his YouTube channel. I don't think you can go wrong with the Bitz though.

I'm waiting on a backordered OMP Phoenix fletching jig right now. A good solid jig and the right glue is the ticket for the TACs, apparently.

I saw this a while back and thought it was interesting. TAC vanes are very stiff. You just need to use the primer and glue that TAC makes, as regular super glue won't stick them effectively. The stiffness is a plus, but it also makes fletching them a little more difficult to get right.

Here's info on thread sizes/patterns.... https://www.silencercentral.com/blog/silencer-common-barrel-thread-patterns/ They're still regulated by the NFA, so you do need a tax stamp. Info on accuracy.... https://www.silencercentral.com/blog/how-suppressors-affect-accuracy/

Yep, pistols are louder than rifles with the same caliber/ammo. That 10/22 will be fun!

I've been doing MTNTough for the last few years. It's as good as it gets. Great programs, and they're well presented as well. I like the coached videos, but some people prefer the printed programming to do on your own (mostly so they can listen to their music while they workout). I just like...

There may be no way to know who actually shot the duck, but his guides dang sure should have known better than to pick it up, much less put it on top of the pile and film it.

Yes sir. I wasn't doubting or trying to argue. I'm just saying I like to hunt private land. That's all. :)

That definitely happens, but there are still lots of opportunities like the one you had 20 years ago. Neither route (private or public/draw) is perfect. I just prefer private over the draw/public experience currently.

I hope they do, actually. I like private land hunting better. No crowds, no draw odds, etc.... If more people ditch the draw go into private land, landowner tag prices will go up faster. I hope everybody stays in the draw. :)

Non-residents have little incentive to support a state's wildlife budget when they're all but shut out of tag opportunities. Keeping all the tags for residents while taking all the money from non-residents is fun while it lasts. But it won't last.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I hope the sane people of Colorado can get rid of the wolves before it gets worse.

If I could change my profession, I wouldn't. I love what I do. I don't want to retire. I hope to keep doing it into my 70s, if not 80s, unless something drastic changes with my health or my industry. I'm a financial advisor. I enjoy working with individuals and families, helping them...

I've had DiamondBack HDs on my last 3 pickups. They're awesome.

Great ram! Congrats!

I'm in shape to hunt elk, but I don't have a tag this year. :( I'm holding out hope for a couple of West Texas draws that include elk. One of them is at the same place I hunted desert bighorn in 2013. I'd love to go back to hunt mule deer and elk. Fingers crossed.....

We spent the last 12 days of July in Switzerland, hiking mostly. We averaged about 8 miles per day up and down the gorgeous mountains. One day we did 12 miles. I've been doing MTNTOUGH Heavy Pack 20 this summer, and it's always great prep for the mountains. The last 2 or 3 years I've been...

Yesterday was Week 3 Day 1 of Heavy Pack 20 for me. I forgot about that one. It's no joke. I wanted to quit after every rep about halfway through the workout. But I didn't. I kept up with the athletes in the video pretty well, except for the last AMRAP where I was almost 1 round behind...

Still doing MTNTough HP20 here. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And try not to break it. It takes too long to heal when you get old. :D

Day 4 every week of HP20 is no joke. Nothing but squats, lunges, Bulgarian split squats, step ups.....with loaded pack and then even more weight in the pack for the last AMRAP of walking lunges. I wanted to quit about 2/3 of the way through, but I didn't. I kept telling myself that the work...
