The pad Amanda sells in her store works really well: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/glassing_chair_and_pad.htm

bump for a price drop on the scope and binos

I worry about the same thing. I usually make sure I am familiar with my hunting partners guns and try to shoot a few rounds with their rifles pre-season "just in case" I need to use theirs. If you hunt alone this isn't an option though.

Looks like I drew a spring archery bear tag!!!! I checked my CC statements twice yesterday and early this AM...just checked again and was charged $22.25...don't give up hope if your CC wasn't dinged yesterday!

Tucson. I would be happy to ship either item but you would need to assume cost, probably about $10-12

Cool poll...3 in one mag, 3 in another mag, 4 more in my rifle sling for 10 in the field with my Tikka .300 WSM. I always have 10 more rounds in the truck.

I was helping a friend in 36A on the early hunt and noticed a sign in the town of Arivaca that advertised game processing at a low price and a quick turn around. Can't attest to their quality though.

As stated, you may need to adjust your eye relief at full magnification...just don't put your eye too close to the lens. Depending on your rifle's caliber/recoil you can hurt yourself pretty good if you don't give yourself 3" or so away from the ocular lens. Also, your field of view will always diminish as you zoom in, so leave your scope at a lower setting when you are trying to acquire your target and then zoom in once you have him in the crosshairs.

Traded to member for .243

I have a used but in great shape Slik Tripod head for sale. It weighs about a pound and can handle up to 8#. It is an excellent head for 10x glass and works fine with 15x but it isn't my first choice for larger optics. I had it on a Slik "mini sprint" and it was a sweet ultra-light combo for archery hunts with 10x optics...I have since placed my 700RC2 on the mini tripod because I can't live without my 15x's in the field. $40 in Tucson.

Guess you probably don't need them anymore, but Warne makes a great set of rings for your Tikka. I have the medium mount Warnes on my T3 .270 and the high mount Warnes on my T3 .300 WSM because it has a 50mm objective scope. Warnes run about $50 a set and they do make high mounts for 30mm tubes.

Just call this guy: http://tucson.craigslist.org/spo/2650306947.html

I found these old school Vasque boots in my father's closet last weekend. They are too small for both of us...he said he bought them in the early 70's at "The Barn" in Tucson. They are Size 10. Leather is still supple and there is plenty of tread with deep lugs. These predate "Goretex" but short of walking in a creek I'm sure they will keep your feet dry. They don't make them like this anymore (or if they do, they are $300+ a pair). I hope somebody can use them for $20.

Here is a 180 grain Barnes TSX recovered from a bull elk...bullet blew out lungs and was recovered above opposite shoulder. I made the load for a MDL 70 featherweight .308 for a youngster.

SOLD.

I was at Bull Basin tonight in Tucson and right now they have Swaro 15s for cheaper than cameralandny.

Take Trekell south from I-8 or from CG. You will hit a dirt road shortly, follow it 1 mile or two south until you can make a left...this takes you to the Trap club, make a right to hit the public range. The range is 300 yard max distance. They used to have a 300 yard metal gong in the burm but if I remember right last time I went it had disappeared. The range is better on the weekdays. If you go a weekend make sure you talk to the other shooters about a ceasefire, etc. There is no official range master and I have seen lots of unsafe behavior on the range.

I will be driving through East Valley/Fountain Hills en route to Unit 4A this weekend if anyone in PHX/Payson area would like to see the bow.

PM sent. Sent you my number, hopefully we can arrange a meeting.

Yep.

The Desert Archers are hosting another 3-D Archery Shoot this weekend at the Tucson Mountain Archery Range. These shoots are a great way to meet other archers and refine your hunting skills with challenging shots. The shoot is open to everyone and families are always welcome. There will be two 15 target courses and you may shoot each course as many times as you like. Saturday the course opens between 10-10:30 AM and closes around 5 and Sunday the course will be open by 7 AM and closing around 1 PM. For more details please visit desertarchers.com

I would look at the Burris Fullfield II 4.5-14x42 with the ballistic plex. You can find it online for $250-300 and it is a better scope than the ProStaff in my opinion.
