Answer	—	A: I have an older shotgun designed for lead shot, can I use steel shot? In addition, it isn't only the gun itself you should worry about with steel shot.

For additional maintenance, I don't think there would ... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Answer	—	A: Rational reason to pick a bow over a gun? I find bows are more challenging. Plus, in Ohio for whitetail deer, the archery season last from end the of September through February.

Answer	—	A: Advantages of a (hunting) hat in the woods? I wear hats and try to cover most of my body when going through thicker brush.

Answer	—	A: What are the pro and cons of two stage vs single stage triggers for hunting? I can't say for sure on rifles how well a 2-stage trigger works, but I like it for my revolver. Personal preference for me would be to go to a lighter trigger on a rifle though. This is primarily to reduce the finger squeeze pressure you're exerting to complete the first stage. I feel like that ... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Answer	—	A: What's the best way to avoid slipping on ice? I find that with icy conditions that you need to change a few things about how you're walking. I used to run on icy trails and snowy conditions and found a few things that helped me not take a spill. Be deliberate with your steps AKA pay attention to what you're doing. I tend to walk more with my ... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
