As I was processing my last deer yesterday, I reflected on how clean and nice it was compared to how they used to be 20 years ago when the legs were carried out on our backs, generally without any...

charliehorse the Deuter 40 pack is really good. It has an adjustable strap so can adjust as your kids body grow. Mitch carried his rain jacket, his H&F bush jacket, my stoney creek sika top, an AJ...

The white certainly stands out in the bush and we were in no doubt where I shot from or where the deer stood. Even though it is biodegradable, Mitch went back and collected the paper from the...

For the last two weeks since my Easter roar hunting trip with my son https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.nz/f17/you-cant-eat-antlers-103569/
, I've been getting questions from my son as to why I...

This year my roar plan was to head down into Fiordland National Park over the Easter break for 4 days of hunting with my son and anotuer forum member and two of his kids. Plenty of prep work involved...

Baffle strike or loose suppressor?

I'll hold my hand up as someone who joined the forum a few years ago (late 2020) specifically to sort out possible scope options for one of my rifles as I didn't think I'd have much to contribute....

Instant potato mash and packet gravy = KFC Potato & Gravy. Makes a simple pick me up on a cold day!

I wear Smartwool PHD Hunt socks (think the are medium crew sized, rather than full crew as the full crew start cutting into the calf after a while). Bloody awesome socks and can go days a days in...

They certainly are helpful. I have found them much more responsive than some of the bigger players. Great service gets repeat business in my books!

Thanks that's good to know. I'm not overly concerned by weight as my current 'rain jacket' is a Hunters Element Odyssey 2021, and tips the scales at 1130g. I don't have an actual weight for the...

I'm in the process upgrading my wet weather gear and have narrowed my selection to either a Earth Sea Sky Hydrophobia or a Cactus Rain Jacket. Tried both on in the local stores yesterday so could get...

Was at the range this morning and picked up this piece of brass. By the looks of it catastrophic case failure, case bulge, with flattened and pierced primer.

Suppressors are not a requirement by any means here. It is a matter of personal choice whether you run one or not. Personally I run a suppressor on everything I own now, to save my hearing, reduce...

Messenger works. Haven't been out there as have other range options myself, but found they responded to my queries pretty quickly.

Realguns is about it in terms of drop-in ranges around here. There are others, but they are not drop in as such and membership (nzda or private) would be required.

Will get out for a few weekends and possibly a couple 3 - 4 day hunts. Would be great to get my son onto his first deer or at least get him close as possible to the action.

This year I'm wanting to change up my hunting techniques for this roar so I can give my son a chance at his first deer.

I reckon a well placed hind or fawn call may do the trick on occasions when...

Some cleaver bugger made this for me to boil out my 303 barrels. A few old cases, cut and solded then to create the right angle, a old silicone funnel and hose clamp. Really handy, collapsible when...

UPDATE

I got some WD40 Silicone Spray on Saturday and sprayed it into either side of the plastic causing the squeaking. Could not insert spray nozzle into the material as much as I wanted to, but...

Good question.

This last year I shot three deer with the Leupold 1.25-4 VXR/308 combo (it has a 200yd zero). Two around 200yards (open tussock) outside of the bush edge and one at around 30yards...

The Swarovski app does have a function where it shows the change in relative distances as you change depending on the zoom power, so in theory if you use the app when shooting you could use a lesser...

Yes, the velocity I inputted was verified by a chronograph.

100m and 200m zeros above. I have an older set of geovids that only range in yards, so will be sticking with yards for the time being.

Thanks, it's not coming from the internal plastic 'frame' (which I have removed a couple of times, when cleaning blood from the pack), but the actual harness strap on either side of the X1 logo....
