    Dumb Ticking Question

    I have never had a problem finding it, BUT the "real" pillow ticking has the blue or red thread woven into it(seperate colored threads) not just printed to look like pillow ticking.

    rack or meat?

    Im a meat hunter!! Our rack rules(my buddies and I) are 4x4 or better, if we shoot a buck. As it stands I buy 2 antlerless only tags(2 deer each) and my Muzzleloader tag(1 antlerless, and 1 either sex tag) so I can shoot a total of 6 deer. I use it to feed the family, and also work with guys...

    Which side to carry horn and stuff

    Im right handed, carry horn and bag on left side. With me I think it may stem from my modern side. I carry my pistol mags on left side and also the main battery of AR mags. That way I never have to get out of firing position. I guess I just got used to that and reload my ML from the bag that...

    TRINKET TRADERS

    I agree for the most part, But I started out with some of the cheap junk, and as time(and interest in this sport) progressed, I gradually replaced said junk with more accurate stuff(and am still working on it) Though I agree with Rick, I feel the cheap junk has its place to "set the hook" so...

    slotting wedge keys?

    Well, aside from doing it by hand like you said. If you have access to a milling machine, with a small end mill, thats going to be about it. IF you have to hire someone with a mill, well that might be really cost prohibitive. A small file and a small drill bit and connect the dots as you...
