    Best method to store compound bow when not in use ?

    Since weather is a non-issue(FL), I shoot four to five days each week, there is no need to think about storing. Reducing poundage IMO would serve no benefit.

    Neck Sizing Vs. Full Length Sizing and Neck Tension

    Having loaded any number of belted case calibers, including 7mmSTW, the use of belted magnum collet resizing die allows a good many reloads not normally found without this die.

    Wife's Montana 2017 Antelope

    Used Hornady 120 A-Max Only had long enough to sight-in and some practice rounds out to 400 yds before time to hunt. Now settled on 142 SMK but still playing with different loads. Thanks for all the complements.

    100 or 200 Yard Zero???

    200 yard zero has always worked for me. I verify scope settings each 100 yard increments to 600 yards. This takes the guess work out of knowing my drop charts will give accurate information needed.

    SOLD/EXPIRED Cooper Model 52 280AI

    Very nice rig Bearden. I can see why you would hate to get rid of it. Aside from the crooks, you'll find those on patrol looking to give others a hard time also. Ignore both types and you'll enjoy this site.

    Big Letdown FOXPRO FUSION

    Have you looked at other callers built on the same line as foxpro? I travel to Montana every year for prairie dog shooting and keep telling myself next year I want to try my hand at coyote hunting. The ranch I hunt is over-ran with them.
