    Custom turrets

    I have a Kenton Industries turret on my Vortex scope (4-16 Viper HS)and really like it. I set it dead on at 100 yards and have bench tested it at intervals up to 500 yards. It's really accurate and simple to use. As I'm sure you know your rifle / ammo setup also needs to be accurate enough to...

    New Release

    I just bought a Scott Longhorn Hunter BTR. Have only shot it on the range, but do plan on trying to hunt with it this fall. I am amazed at the improved accuracy I am seeing thus far.

    Are horses worth the trouble?

    Odds of hunting

    To calculate the "overall" odds of hunting, just switch the odds to decimals and add them together. Deer = .038, elk = .002, moose = .0008 and turkey = .250. .038+.002+.0008+.250=0.2908 or a 29% chance of hunting (1 in 3.44 odds) Hope this helps.

    Another hit to hunters

    Yeah, I saw the show...or at least part of it. I turned it off after the 800 yard / 4 shot miss buy the guy...couldn't believe what I was seeing. It doesn't matter where it's at, that was just bad...
