    Broadhead weight, spine

    I'm not sure I need a new one quite yet but what I learned is the bow settled in after it was new and I should have proactively got it readjusted. Shot the bow last night and my groups are a lot tighter and the sound has much less of a springy sound to it. Probably get a new string if I get lucky enough to draw a bull tag.

    Broadhead weight, spine

    Just learned the timing was off and my draw at dropped from 65 to 62. Reset everything so I'm hopeful the groups tighten up.

    Broadhead weight, spine

    Yes i realized that. So instead of dumping a bunch of good arrows i was thinking about increasing my draw weight and maybe using 125 gr heads. Do you think that's do-able?

  7. I have a custom 7mm rem mag that i built at phx custom rifles...overall it's everything i wanted it to be. shoots 1/4 MOA and stinks of quality.... now that i have the bug, i'm thinking about doing another rifle. i'm not keen on dropping the kind of money i did on the first build though. i'm looking for something that is off the shelf and with some reloading i can get it to 1/2 MOA +/-. I'd like it to be a lower caliber setup that i could get my kids started on, but not so low that it's use in the field is narrow. Something good for deer, cow elk, bull elk (with a well placed shot or right bullet), and long range target shooting (up to 1k). I was thinking a 6.5 CM would be a good step down from the 7 mag but still offer that utility. Question 1: i'm confused by all the various derivatives of 6.5. Can someone explain the differences? i'd like to identify a version with good ballistics and ideally one that will prolong barrel life. Question 2: As to the platform, i'm considering a Tika Lite or Savage LRH. Thoughts? Any other option i should consider? i'm thinking a grand for the rifle (give or take) and maybe a nice vortex scope or something better i find used but in good shape. Thx Miles

    2016 Rut Activity

    "hunters" on ATV's in 34a???... hahaha... No Mark, you didnt miss the rut...( deer do not all come into heat at the same time, Bucks will be actively seeking for weeks to come...) i was down there last weekend. on certain hills it's only does...on others it's on. it got a lot better after that last storm when it got very cold. you didn't miss anything...still developing in my opinion.

    packing swaros 15s

    thanks for all the ideas guys. i think i'll go naked and wrap them up in a small handtowel or tee shirt (something that has multiple purposes).

    packing swaros 15s

    when you guys are going backcountry hunting, are you bringing the swaro case along or are you just packing them naked? the case seems to take up like 2x the space but i'm a little concerned about breakage if they're just in one of my outer pack pockets. i'm using the kuiu 5200 FYI.

    eddie bauer down

    FYI, was at the chandler mall and they are doing 40% off on their down jackets and vests. They look really high quality, very packable (into their own pockets, etc). I have had one and relegated it to my "beater" puffy...picked up a new vest today with a modern camo pattern to it (gray color).

    Lightweight Build

    if you're going for weight i don't think you need a brake on the calibers listed. my 2 cents.
  20. I haven't done any backpack hunting but it's something i'd like to work into my routine every now and then. i'm not giving up on my travel trailer lol...but want to mix it up a bit. i'm pretty much set equipment wise except a good tent and bag. I really like the kuiu tent and bag systems but honestly i'm not looking to drop 1000 on that quite yet. i understand you get what you pay for and weight is king, but wondering if you guys have recommendations for a "good value" 2 man tent and bag. My use case will likely be the Dec/Jan OTC hunts so it'll need to provide good warmth/shelter. it'll need to pack down decently to fit into my 5200 icon. On the topic, any recommendations on a pad are welcome as well. Thanks Miles
