“Backcountry Tent Review” HILLEBERG AKTO

Minimum pack Weight of 1.3kg and full pack weight of 1.7kg – This trail rated three season tent is the best I have found in relation to Weight and functionality!

Here are some details on this Model – The AKTO

Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9mm poles make for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent.
All season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjustable fabric panels.
Tunnel construction offers maximum space to weight ratio and is the ideal choice for mobile journeys.

“Bareshaft / Fletch Tuning”

In order to get the cleanest down range accuracy, it is always best to try to achieve close to the same lateral arrow flight out of the bow. At 10-20 yards, try to shoot a bare shaft and a fletched shaft side by side for several groups until you see a pattern develop. If you are right or left consistently, you will want to add or take out twists in your yoke until you are pretty close to the same lateral arrow travel. Up and down while important is secondary at this point.

“Achieving a Perfect Center Shot”

Arrow center shot is not an exact number… Beacause every bow is different, your centershot will be different. With the HOYT CS Turbo, NITRUM and CS 34’s, your centershot should be around 3/4″ generally no more than that… 7/8″ is too far. (too much prelean in the cam.

This will feel like it is slightly inward of the powerstroke but it is correct. If you are outside of this number, you will know that you have too much pre lean in your top cam and you will need to add a twist to your right yoke and untwist the left yoke by a twist… I generally do this a half a twist at a time until you see the results you are looking for. If there is a lot of prelean, I use full twists until Im close.

” Proper set-up from my View”

Why bubble levels are so important to setting level nock travel? Well, they allow you to ensure that your bow is both laterally and vertically level, hence why the use of these levels with a 90 degree reading on it is so important…

Also you want to make certain you know where to place your rest in relation the the berger button hole.. Every bow is different, the newer HOYT bows seem to be the happiest, when the arrow runs through the top half to 3/4’s of the hole.

The position of the D Loop in relation to the berger hole has a lot to do your bows cam sync… With the top cam hitting slightly faster than the bottom cam.

“New Outdoorsmans Tripod and Panhead Combo”

When The Outdoorsmans first released their new panhead, I was quick to get on the phone with Cody Nelson… I had a bunch of questions for him, as I was excited to see what this would mean for my back country endevours.

The Best Boots for the most Discerning of Hunters –

Over the years, I have tried many makes of specialty hunting boots. Most are decent at protecting your ankles and feet from serious damage, however most also leave a large delta for improvement. Over the years, I have struggled with boots that hugged and supported my heels, supported my arch, protected my feet from moisture and fought quick wear with quality build materials…
