Re: Rubber boots

Le Chameau make the finest walking and staking rubber boots on earth. You'll pay for them ($250.00 - $600.00) but keep in mind one pair can last a lifetime. My leather lined ones are 23 years old, little faded but the natural rubber is in fantastic shape. No wear on sole at all and they are like goi...

Re: New Bulldog with Hawke XB 30 Scope-Fitment ?

9/16 not going to solve issue on bull pup for most. Another 1.5" would rectify for majority and save trying to find low offset rings as there is little option in low. Weaver and Millet offer low 30mm offset and that is about it. There is 100+ AR style 1 piece offset options but they are all high.

Re: Who from Ontario think they're good at a slate call?

For years all I ever used was a slate or glass pot, called in a lot of birds with them. I found after loosing more strikers year after year that the diaphram was way to go. Now all I carry is two diaphragms.

Re: Steel force broadheads

If you are wanting something else to try - G5 Strikers have worked very well for me and fly great out to 100 yards out of my 380's and a 400BD

If you are using crank go for flat trajectory- 380 Matrix would be my choice.
