Do you have trends on temps in the area and time your hunt is? what's your opinion on down vs synthetic? You plan on being wet? Do you put more value on the keeping the base weight of your pack down? I would make a decision on the comfort rating of how cold you it's suppose to be, or could be...

…cause you’ve bothered before, on the last neck tension thread. The mere colloquial term has never bothered me.

You’re not going to give him a 3 post lecture on how it’s “interference” and not neck tension?

They are military spec. A lot of them are com capable. Past that, look at the decibel reduction ratings, and the noise amplification. In the OPs case, Peltor comtacs can be adjusted for single side hearing loss. There's a lot of tech inside, but again, these are for military/police/industrial...

I would match cartridges to the distance you plan on shooting. If it's 2 miles, that limits your cartrige choices significantly. I would consider what's easily available ammunitionwise. Factory ammo or ability to handload, if that's something you do. Lastly, it probably doesn't matter. Most...

I haven't seen any of their (otopro) digital ear pros better than Peltor comtacs. I think even sordin has better stuff now too, noise reduction wise. Maybe look into some Peltor defenders or something. Definitely look into the noise reduction ratings they are advertising. You didn't specify...

Yep. Looks like we both hunt as true backpackers. That’s pretty much what I do. Only some exceptions for like 14,000 footers in storms or late season, but usually a Merino hoodie and puffy compressed to about a softball in my pack. I use the Mystery Ranch marshal, I thinks it’s also 6400 or...

Same. I only go with the clothes I’m wearing hunting, some layers, and a few pairs of underwear, which I rotate as well. Try to stay clean with baby wipes. Usually 5-7 days is when we start to get pretty rank, but I’ve done plenty of 10+ dayers on some good tags.

That's what I do. I leave a pair hanging in my tent to dry out completely, and wear the other pair out for that day. On colder hunts, I carry a 3rd pair of socks, that are thick wool socks for sleeping only…they do not go in boots.

ive never cracked 1/2 inch 60 grade rebar…matter of fact, rebar bends… Best thing is, it's like $4 to replace..

Weld a hanger on the rear of target and I bend some 1/2 rebar like a long S. Pretty much like a brake caliber hanger. I had a long ram target for fun, and plasma cutted holes, and use the rebar for hanging. I think welding the bracket on the back is cleaner.

I mean, it was kind of hunting…

I have one of the UHD gen 2 Athlons amongst other spotters. Idk if you’d be able to see holes through paper at 500…especially black paper. Steel yes. Paper…is iffy.

A reason why I like Bowtechs (deadlock )cam adjustment. You can tune in the field, without shims. Bare shaft is great starting place. I go out as far as 20 yards. Past that distance, error in technique tends to show on the tear, more than the arrow flight. Because your arrows fletching are a...

I’m a sniper. Not a politician. I’m not getting anyone straight, as much as the old timers are going to fight themselves out of a weak foreign policy dick throwing match. A story of warriors as old as the beginning of time.
