How much weight did it add? I have an American in compact that my Daughter uses (.243). I find myself taking it quite often when I venture into the woods in case of a random coyote, as it is so light and small.

I have a Scott little goose, and it has an adjustment screw for the trigger tension. No matter what release I use, I always keep my finger on the "back" of the trigger while drawing, and don't move it to the front until ready to shoot. Basically, my finger is behind the trigger, which would not...

I have 3 Cuddeback's that are out year round in Wisconsin. The oldest is 5 years old. Other than occasionally getting some ants in the control panel area, I have had zero issues. 2 are the long range I.R's, one is black flash. These are the small rectangular models.

I carry a Springfield XD-s in .45. For IWB I use a N82 holster. The most comfortable inside the waist I have tried. Has good retention and can be positioned most anywhere. Depending on situation, I may also carry it in my pocket with a Sticky holster. I wear alot of cargo/carpenter style jeans...

The body shop at the Dealership I work at has a plastic welder. If the guy using it knows what he is doing, I have seen some pretty decent looking repairs made with it. Something to check into.

I am going to be putting a stand in a large pine, and where it will be positioned, requires me to trim a 4" branch that will be right against my back. What, if anything can I do to keep the sap from coming out of the cut and making me stick to the tree if I lean back? I placed a stand in a...

Awesome! Thanks a bunch for that link. My "Google" must be broken as I have been coming up with very little! The pivots on one of the coulters is cracked, and needs to be cut out and repaired. I will likely try it "as is", once I get all the new hardware installed. I think this will make a good...

Thanks guys. That pic looks very similar if not identical to what I have. I spent some time searching, but only came up with one pic that was blurry and small.. There is only 1 hole through the center of where the bracket is, so rather than U-bolts, I'm wondering if it uses and I-type bolt? But...

I recently picked up an old 2 bottom plow. I am told it is a Ferguson. Not sure if that even matters. The draw bar was bent, and I am in the process of repairing that, along with new hardware here and there, as most of it was loose or broken. My question is on the coulters. Do I need them? they...

Do you know anyone who has a skid steer with tracks? Either a tracked unit, or over the tire? If so, maybe they could help you out and get enough material in there to make a somewhat stable base down.

Strange, weird and demented automobiles are everywhere, it's not just a regional thing. I have no idea what this guy's intentions were with this creation, but whatever it was, it wasnt working! Remember, meth=bad. Don't do it..

I freely admit I suck at aging deer, yet I don't think this one was very old. I had hundreds of pictures of him over that summer. Saw him once in my back yard with a 12 point I would later take wit hthe bow, and he dwarfed it. Got some new neighbors that fall, that liked their ATV's. He...

Idiots will still be idiots, no matter what weapon in hand. A co-worker recently went to a crossbow. He was telling me how he can now "knock em' down at 75 yards". I told him he was a fool and I was glad he hunts nowhere near my property. He typically only hunts for about 3 hours a year, so...

My wife and I are contemplating purchasing a cabin for a get-away. She found one we could afford in Marenisco Mi. Anyone near there? From what I have heard, deer are pretty much non-existent, and wolves are plentiful. How is the rest of the game scene? Bear hunting any good? The place looks...

Trying to get rid of the grubs may help. Every fall they hit my yard some, but nothing too serious. That's a big pile of stink, right there.
