[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1010843, member: 30902"] Good thread Jordan. This is something the Military figured out a long time ago. From weapons to radios to pup tents when you're not using them you are training with them. All the high tech gear in the world is useless if you can't use it effectively even when under great stress. In years gone by I can't tell you how many people I saw at a campground sitting there reading he instructions trying to up up their new tent or had guys I was guiding not be familiar with even the basic functionality of the weapon they were carrying. The off season is the time for practice. Plan on taking short weekend trips bringing all of your gear along so you can get completely familiar with everything from your scope to your camp stove and it will save you a great many headaches and possibly even blown hunts in the fall. It doesn't matter if you can pull the trigger if you don't get there to start with or if your rifle, optics, range finder etc has a functionality issue you can't deal with. [/QUOTE]
