EBAY, I never think of EBAY. Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look and see if they have what I think I need.

Thanks for the Numrich suggestions. I looked there, but their website doesn't indicate that they carry what I'm looking for.

Hey guys & gals, As the title mentions, I need some gunsmithing help. I have a family member that is in possession of a Winchester Model 94 that is missing its butt plate. I know nothing of the gun's history but I'm guessing that it is on the older side. The first three numbers in its serial...

ABSOLUTELY! I shoot Easton Axis 300's with a 125gr. G5 Striker up front. That combo has shot through every elk I've shot since I started using it.

If your bow has split limbs, be aware that cam lean, top or bottom or both, may be an issue that requires correction so something to consider. Another thing that I think is valuable is once you've got your bow tuned, see how it shoots a bare shaft at about 10 yards. Depending on how the shafts...

I've never tried the 180 Elite so I can't comment on it. I do have some experience with the 190 VLD. My .308 will shoot them into one hole for as long as I do my part. Not all that fast, but one hole is one hole. That same bullet in my 300WM doesn't quite shoot a one hole group but they kill...

Nice build, I like it a lot!

These are superb rifles!

Mine's a 2012 Hoyt Carbon Element. It's a fantastic bow!

A 7mmRM and a 300WM have been killing elk for decades. Handloading for both are easy-peasy and factory ammo is available just about everywhere. After that, I'd work on my agility to get closer than 1000yds before taking a shot. However, if a 1000yd shot is a realistic possibility, and in...

Based upon the way you wrote your initial post, it sounds like you haven't actually shot a .325 and might have some concerns about the recoil. If you are looking for a go anywhere/do anything, at least in North America, there are several cartridges that will check those two boxes. If your...

I run Berger's in every rifle I shoot for one simple reason, they shoot better, in some cases way better, than anything else I've tried. Provided that the tips are open, they have proven to be absolutely wicked on critters - nasty wicked.

Awesome rifles!

Lots of very good tips here. I'll add these; do everything you can to minimize your scent. Shower with scent-free soap, and wash your hunting clothes in similar detergent. You are hunting a canine and trust me, they have the ability to smell you long before you ever see them. In that same vein...

If I have one hang up waay out there for some reason, it gives me the ability to whisper "I can still see you..." as I press the trigger.
