    Help me understand the importance of measuring velocity for reloading.

    Knowing velocity is key to LR shooting. It helps the shooter fine tune their loads and aim for lowest possible ES.

    What bow brand do you shoot

    Thanks, I'm enjoying getting back into archery after a 20 year absence from the sport.

    What's your favorite hunting knife?

    I just saw the Havalon Piranta scalpel knives that weigh 1.5 ounces. Never need to sharpen again, just might be the cats meow?

    What's your favorite hunting knife?

    The last few years I have been packing a Buck caping knife. Real handy size and I keep it deadly sharp. I leave the heavier ones behind these days. I'd like to make a similar copy of the caping knife one day with a little bit bigger gut hook then it would be perfect.

    Exercise for arthritic knees?

One thing that I tried that helped with pain and I would have told you was hog wash if I hadn't tried...

    Hodgen powder issues

    Yikes! Thanks for the heads up Shawn. Whenever the Hodgden powder shortage up here in Canada eases up I'll pay close attention. I managed to get my hands on 8 pounds of Varget today. Still no H1000 in sight.
