I have an AR15 in 6.5 Grendel I need to sell, just haven't taken pics and posted it yet. PM me if interested and I'll give you details.

Jeff, you're killing me. Don't let me walk across the street and buy that Savage.

Other than my hinge releases all I use are Carters. I've had a Target 4, Insatiable 3, Like Mike, Target 3, BK Hunter, and I'm shopping around for either a Wise Choice or Nock 2 It for hunting. Once you have used a Carter or Stan you will hate anything Scott, Truball, Trufire, or basically anything else. It's like the difference between a Timney rifle trigger and a horrible factory trigger. Of course, this depends on how you shoot it. If you are truly setting the release off with your back muscles then you will really feel the difference between a good release and bad. I bought a Tru Ball Pro Max 4 a few years ago when they came out, sold it after 1 shot.

Those will probably work as good as any store bought ones. I've thought about getting some cheap house shoes from Wal-Mart and gluing carpet to the bottom.

Who did your mount in 2 months? I'm still waiting for my 2015 buck to get done.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I have 13 points for turkey now......

Another option would be getting a less expensive ILF riser so you can change limbs. Hoyt Excel riser and limbs are popular or anything Trad Tech. Get a 30-35 lbs. set of limbs to start and move up. With limbs that low in weight you can get some cheap aluminum arrows to shoot also.

Move your sight to the left to hit dead on at 100, you will probably still hit dead on at the shorter ranges. You can always move it back if it doesn't work.

I have a 2 year old ARE camper shell for sale. I'm in Safford but can meet halfway for a serious buyer in Tucson or Phoenix. Paid $1200 new, Asking $600. These are hard to find in this size that's why I bough new, sold the truck it was on. I had this on a 2011 GMC 1500 Quad Cab, the really short bed. Won't fit 2500/3500 short beds or 1500 with a king cab. I have mounting hardware that requires drilling 4 small holes in the bed rails. It could be clamped down too if you don't want to drill holes. I don't have clamps.

I could type a lot for making sight tapes so I'll try to cut this short. I like my pins centered in the sight housing. So, you will sight in your middle pin with the slider at the highest point. Slide your sight up and lock it in. If you have 5 pins and want 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 yard pins then put your 40 yard pin in the middle of the housing. You will adjust the entire housing to sight in this pin. Next, you will sight in your 50-60, or last 2 pins by moving the individual pins around. I usually do the top pins last after I've made a sight tape but you can do this at any point. Now you should have all pins sighted in with the slider at the top as high as it will go, this will maximize the distance you can achieve out of your bottom pin. Next, download the TAPs program. TAP stands for The Archery Program. You do not need the full program, just the sight tape program, it's $15. When I get home I'll post the labels I use but you can also just use plain paper and tape the sight on. Packing tape works but I ordered some clear arrow wraps from Onestringer because they are thicker. I also put a bead of glue around the tape once finished to keep water out. Print out the sight in tape and attach one to your sight. Line your needle up to one of the lines on the sight tape with your slider locked in at the highest point. Now, move back slowly as you adjust the sight down with the slider to your max distance. I use a 3 pin slider with 30-40-50 yard pins so I sight in at 50 and 90 to make my sight tape. You will use the marks from the sight in tape to input to the TAPs program. This is very accurate as long as you are very accurate. You should be able to notice a POI change with each tic mark on the sight in tape at 90+ yards. I like to check my 50 and 90 yard marks at least 3 different trips to the range before I print a tape to confirm I've got it right. Let me know if you have any questions or if that even made and sense.

$475

I just got a pair of Turtle Skin gaiters. Haven't worn them in the field yet but they are much more comfortable than the ones that have the plastic ribs in them. I paid $140. They are just a little thicker/stiffer than a pair of heavy duty work pants.

Until you said that they received a lot less calls. lol

Last year they had so many applications I didn't get confirmation that I got a tag until Friday. I called every office in the state on Wednesday that week and got a different answer from all of them.

Send it on Tuesday it will increase the odds.................................................of me getting a tag.

I've had the 2015 list on my desk for a week already planning for this years list. I need 10 minutes and 7 of those will be to write the check and walk out to the mail box.

I live at 3000 ft. elevation and notice a yard or two difference in my sight tape each year when I shoot at the Sunrise 3D tournament which is at 9000 ft. elevation. It's not a drastic difference but you'll want to shoot at the higher elevation and adjust if needed before you hunt.

Semi Custom 280 Rem. with 140VLD's............ if I get a leftover tag.

On the Ford question, I have no idea if it will fit. It was custom ordered for my 2011 GMC but I would think the beds are fairly similar.

I might be interested in trading something for this. What do you have you would like to trade? PM me.

I use the Zeiss Conquest HD5 3-15x42, it's very clear and seems to track true. I do have a question that goes along with people saying not using a custom turret. I'm mainly a bow hunter but do try to get leftover tags down south while I wait for my archery strip tag. I set up my .280 Rem in hopes to shoot out to 5-600 yards max. I don't have any care in the world if it shoots past that. I've used a chart for the last 3 seasons with this rifle but have considered getting a custom turret built. When I change all the parameters on the ballistic calculator there is very little difference out to 500 yards on bullet drop. If you are only going out to 500 would you consider a custom turret a good option for shooting that mid range? I have a load developed already for 168 grain Classic Hunters and I'm working on one for 140 VLDs so 2 turrets would cover this rifle for almost any hunt I'll need it for.
