The Fly Caster Who Tried To Make PEACE With The World - REVIEW part 1
Posted by Darrell under: Gear - Tips, Reviews, Wishlist.
I’m preparing to leave for the hunting trip of a lifetime with my friend Dana (more about this later). I spent yesterday evening and this morning packing and making sure I had everything I needed. Somewhere between packing my skivvies and guns I realized that I needed a book to bring. Most hunters I know […]

What Is The Best Broadhead For Big Game?
Posted by Darrell under: Gear - Tips, Reviews, Wishlist.
Most hunters, like me, have used dozens of different broadhead over the years. We are all in search for that perfect broadhead. I basically want them to do three things:
1) Fly True. I want them to fly the same as my matching weight field tips.
2) Kill. Open up a big hole and cut through the […]

Mathews Drenalin - One Serious Compound Bow
Posted by Darrell under: Gear - Tips, Reviews, Wishlist.
Wednesday evening I met my friend Billy at a local archery shop to do some target shooting. We were shooting a video target which was awesome! However, that is a different article. Fortunately, I was really on with my bow (saved me some serious dough). The target we were shooting scores each shot and I can […]

Olympus Stylus 770 SW Product Review - Shock and Waterproof Camera
Posted by Darrell under: Gear - Tips, Reviews, Wishlist.
I am often asked how I come up with video and pictures while scuba diving and spearfishing. The answer is simple: I have one bad (as in good) camera.
I bought my Olympus Stylus 770 SW camera just prior to leaving for my Alaska bear hunt. I wanted a camera that I could use in the […]

Leupold RX II Laser Range Finder - Product Review
Posted by Darrell under: Archery; Gear - Tips, Reviews, Wishlist; GOOD Buys On Ebay.
I have used the Leupold RX II Laser Rangefinder for 2 seasons now and I’m a believer. In fact, when I recently lost my rangefinder and was forced to buy a new one, I decided without any hesitation on buying yet another RX II.
I’ve already given away that I like the RX II, but now I’ll […]

What Is The Best Bow On The Market?
Posted by Darrell under: Archery; Gear - Tips, Reviews, Wishlist.
If you asked 20 different serious archers what the best bow on the market it, you’d probably get at least 15 different answers. Every person has different criteria for determining what is most important for them. Is it price? Weight? Vibration Level? Noise Level? or if you’re anything like me - its a combination of all […]

Getting My Bow Prepared for My Alaska Black Bear Hunt
Posted by Darrell under: Archery; Black Bear; Alaska; My Journal; Gear - Tips, Reviews, Wishlist.
I’m working hard to prepare for my Black Bear Hunt. My departure for Alaska is just 10 days away. I’ve been shooting my bow every day and am getting pretty good out to about 50 yards. Although, I don’t plan on taking any shots at over 30 yards. I’m having my bow re-strung today […]

Cabellas Rewards Credit Card Well Worth Any Hassle
Posted by Darrell under: Tips & Ideas; Gear - Tips, Reviews, Wishlist.
I recently signed up for and received a Cabellas rewards credit card. This is remarkable because I’m not your typical credit card consumer. I really don’t like them and I rarely sign up for one – regardless of what t-shirt or hat they are going to give you for doing so. But, this is an […]

Losing My Leupolds & Finding Them on Ebay
Posted by Darrell under: Tips & Ideas; Gear - Tips, Reviews, Wishlist.
Last year when I began bow hunting again, I quicky found that to be a successful bow hunter, I would need an accurate rangefinder. Prior to this, I had never used a rangefinder. Imagine my surprise when I first went to look at them. Some models cost more than my first car! After much research […]
