    Homemade saddle

    It’s pretty easy to make one of these saddles assuming you have a sewing machine that will punch through a few layers of webbing. I had tweak this one multiple times for a custom fit so the stitching on it looks a little rough, but its strong. If you pin the heck out of it and temp stitch...

    How to find saddle comfort --- my experience

    I've been playing with my home made saddle...and even custom fit I find that my 62 yr old body and considerable bulk 6'4" 240# makes longer than a 2 hour sit tough. No doubt you young studs will laugh. I love that I could pack my whole setup 3-4 miles and 1200' in elevation from 10,000' to...

    Waders

    We did a DIY Moose hunt in Ak last year and my buddy had those Neos. Those things were like a one man band they were so noisy....big an bulky too. I used the Frog togg stocking footers [about $80] with a boot and they were fantastic as I think just about anything that didn't have a good boot...

    Traditional limb recurve, re ecurved.question

    Shooting an ILF since 2007 here, my take; What you find with ILF recurve limbs is much the same as in many things; You pay a lot more for only a small increase in performance. For example, you can buy a darn good Fiberglass/wood core limb for $100 [or less] The carbon foam core limbs [my pref]...

    Sticks, Aiders, Saddles vs the deer’s senses.

    Agreed on the science....and of course a deers sense of smell is its primary defense mechanism. Our problem, the science cannot tell you what a 4 1/2 yr old deer knows....that a 2 year old doesn't. I think the difference is "Reasoning". So when the 2 yr old sees a couple bushes...

    Sticks, Aiders, Saddles vs the deer’s senses.

    Interesting topic on sight....and what they recognize as out of place. Of course they key on any movement. Its all degrees. One thing is for sure, Mature whitetails are in a whole different category than younger deer and other species such as elk and hogs. I've had a couple interesting run ins...
