    Meet the nation’s most endangered monuments

    I just became a hunters ed instructor. At the age of 51 I will be among the youngest. Recruitment of new hunters is way down nationwide. In the midwest and eastern states a lot of this has to do with access. Having grown up in Northern Minnesota I was very fortunate to have an abundance of state...

    Bluetooth Knock

    While the theoretical range of bluetooth may be 100 yards, I can tell you from practical experience in the classroom that it can be sketchy at 60 ft. my guess is that a lighted nock is going to be more effective.

    kids bow

    For the money and the resale value it is hard to beat the Genesis Mini. That is what I bought for my boys when they were 5 and 7, then sold it for about twenty dollars less than I paid for it three years later when I got a Diamond Infinite Edge. The other option that has been mentioned that I...

    Zinke expanding sportsman access

    Thank you Randy. I am an American and a patriot. I am not a Democrat or a Republican. It would be nice if we could pass a campaign reform law that only allowed politicians to run on their record of votes instead of making wild speculations about what the other side is going to take away from you...

    411 Montana elk hunt

    You can get into 411 from the Red Hill Road WMA south of Lewistown. It is an easement that RMEF helped FWP get into there. I never got too far into the area. There is also trail access farther south. Another possibility would be to enter through 511 by going up Swimming Woman Creek road. The...

    The last Henry post

    My heart goes out to you and your family. I can't imagine losing Silky. Definitely going to be a hole in your life for a while.

    Hawk Helium

    I have the XOP Air Raid, I think, and it is great. I use it with Lone Wolf sticks. I got them both at good discounts about three years ago. I can't add any info about the Hawk, except that I have never seen a negative review on one.

    portable bow press on 2016 hoyt defiant turbo?

    I have a Bowmaster press with the L brackets, and I used it to set up a Hoyt Charger. It worked very well, and I kicked myself for waiting so long to buy one. I'm not familiar with the Defiant, so I can't speak to that, but if it is 6 degrees or less I would go ahead. You could also ask on the...

    Mechanical broadheads

    I have only used Rocket SteelHead 100's which are a mechanical head, and other than one bad shot into the shoulder that I am very sure was non-lethal, and one gut shot I have never lost a deer. They are only an inch and one eighth cutting diameter, so I don't worry about my 60 pound draw weight...

    Fire by Jordan Montana

    I just received Jon Tester's email about the fires. He mentioned that the regional FEMA Director denied funding for the Lodgepole fire. It seems penny-wise and pound foolish to do so. In a perfect world we the people would examine the actions and votes of our representatives and vote...

    Can an arrow go bad?

    There was a pretty good sticky on broad head tuning on archery talk. I don't spend a lot of time ther as it tends to be a huge pissing match a lot of the time.

    Can an arrow go bad?

    If your arrow length is 29" with 100 g field tips and broad heads you are right on the line between a 400 spine and a 350 spine. I could not get my 400s to paper tune, so I tried 350s and got bullet holes. Tried broad head tuning the 350s, and I couldn't do it, but the 400s were dead on with my...

    Forbes Magazine - The Best Deal Going: Privatize U.S. Public Lands

    If your only focus in life is generating money, then this is a perfectly reasonable approach. Since the things I treasure the most can not be acquired with cash, this to me is extremely short sighted.

    Mechanicals for elk

    I have never shot an elk, but the Rocket Steelheads I have been using on deer have never failed me when I put the arrow in the right spot, and once got lucky with a femoral artery shot. Last year I could not get my arrows to broadhead tune. Paper tuning said I needed a 350 spine, but I had to go...
