I just found a post from Sept asking the same. Sorry, should have searched first. If anything new, I'll still take, but otherwise will review that. Thanks!

How did you find the overall weight of the sight and balance? I think they weight about 2x what a normal pin sight weighs. Just curious if the balance helps or affects in anyway?

That's awesome - miss those days. Our first youth year was my 10 and 12 year old and a buddies 11 year old. First one went down at 7, 2nd at 8 and third at 9... Just saying we were busy. Somewhere I have a picture of the 3 boys with 3 elk in the back of a F150. Legs and grins everywhere. Nicely done to the girls.

+1 for a great scope.

Sent you a PM. Thanks!

Looking for a couple of 12"x12" type plates that will handle magnum centerfire rifle rounds. From what I gather, I think I need 1/2" AR550 steel or equivalent. Does anyone have any to part with or a source? Thank you

I appreciate it. CJ may replicate yours when I get everything, may be in touch. Thank you again

outstanding, than you sir!

How are you mounting them? Post and chain or just driving in on two posts or something else? I'm thinking just buying some gongs and welding two posts of angle iron to each side and just driving that into the ground vs doing the whole chain thing...?

Thanks Edge, I sent you a PM.

Perfect. Thanks

Makes sense. Thank you!

cool.. I wonder if the 3/8" will hold up to 300 and 338? Sounds like it is worth a shot. Thank you.

You're an idiot.

I don't see anything wrong with this person writing the atv group and requesting them to consider the youth hunting schedule in the future and sharing this here for others with perhaps the same sentiment. They didn't come here and complain or start a protest. It sounds like they handled it politely and professionally and if you disagree then don't follow their lead. Simple as that to me. No reason to light them up. Lots of elk habitat close to or inbetween roads and with first time or inexperienced hunters adding extra commotion and that can easily hurt the experience, especially if not planned. Not everyone packs in 10 miles with their 10 year old and packs out an elk like Del must.

Ed's shoe repair on Warner and 48th has done a few things for me, but honestly not a pair of hunting boots, although I think he has/had some vibram soles there one time when I looked. A little eastern europoen guy that does really nice work on everything I have seen. I have a pair that I'm going to take him after this year's deer hunts and see if it is worth doing.

Gilbert and work on I10 and Warner

Lots of dead elk in my house from steelheads and none lost. I'll take the accuracy and forgiveness over hunting conditions vs the small gains from fixed heads. My .02

I started my boys with short bbl light rifles in 243 and 7/08. I learned my lesson and 12 years later My daughter started with a broken 270wsm. I do ensure hearing protection for her but have been next to her on two elk and next to my wife with that gun and my broken 300why on two elk and noise has not been a problem for me. what's that? Haha really not too bad in the field.

I'm my opinion, you can't practice field conditions or the effects of the situation or how a live target may adjust during the shot. Hitting a pie plate in shorts at the range or a fixed gong lying prone on your shooting mat on a flat surface at the range is a relatively small % of what can happen in hunting conditions. Some people pull it off, but many more try that can't pull it off or the conditions affect the outcome including a crap load of wounded animals that are either not known to be hit or hit poorly. And the distance certainly compounds all of those effects. I don't see how that can be disputed. Again in my opinion
