    Bow Strings Recommendations

    60x custom strings makes some good stuff. My only concern is that they've grown a little too much for my liking. Twisted X custom strings makes some excellent strings for about the same price. A few more options would be hogwire and catfish customs. I was actually just about to pull the trigger...

    Mandan Archery range

    The same applies for the Mandan range. When we developed those rules, our biggest concern was to minimize the damage to the targets. As long as they have their own target it's not a big deal.

    Driving to Alaska

    Driving that stretch in summer or winter would be very scenic. Personally, I'd save the drive for the summer time when there is less risk of getting caught in a major blizzard. Your 48 hour drive could easily turn into 2 weeks if they get some bad weather. I've heard those roads aren't...

    Plastic Shrink Wrap

    Here is the finished product! Works great, and only cost $20. All the plastic was free thanks to a generous nodak member. First shots were taken at 20 yards with a 502 grain arrow. Only getting 10-12" of penetration, and I could have packed it tighter. - - - Updated - - - The pictures...

    Subbase for Concrete Patio

    It's selling for roughly $16 a yard, but $23 a yard delivered to my place. This is new construction, so there is no top soil to remove. In fact, I'll have to add some fill to get it level before adding the concrete. Is this going to be an issue? The native soil is very hard and has not been...

    Subbase for Concrete Patio

    The difference in price between class 5 and crushed concrete is $0.80 per ton. I haven't asked about the composition of the crushed concrete yet, but they did say that it compacts very well. I will find out beforehand, but for now, I'm assuming that it's mixed with gravel. I'll do some searching...

    Subbase for Concrete Patio

    I did ask him for advice, and he recommended that I go with class 5 or crushed concrete. My biggest concern wasn't necessarily what to use, but rather what not to use. The gravel pit near my house is loaded with material, and I have no way of knowing if the stuff I'm getting from there is...

    Subbase for Concrete Patio

    I just want to make sure it's done right. I'm not sure what "right" is, which is why I'm asking for your opinions. The issue that I'm having now is that I don't know if the stuff in the pit could be considered class 5.

    Subbase for Concrete Patio

    I spoke with a few contractors that are more familiar with the gravel pits around here. They indicated that the clay content is usually too high to use as a suitable base. One recommended using crushed concrete in place of class 5. I was really hoping to avoid any additional costs, but it needs...

    Subbase for Concrete Patio

    I'm planning on doing a stamped patio in my backyard, and can't figure out the right material to use for the subbase. The existing soil is a clay/sand mix and will provide an excellent base for the concrete, but I'll need to bring in some fill to get a few areas up closer to grade. Once the fill...

    Plastic Shrink Wrap

    Carpet would work great for an indoor target. If left outside, it would be full of mold in a matter of weeks. I stopped at Sears last week to pick up my Dad's new mower, and noticed a few large plastic bales sitting outside. Apparently, they sell the bales for upwards of $300 each to recycling...

    Dumpin the Dip!!

    I quit smoking once a bunch of times. It's never easy, and it only takes one mental slip to start again. I'd do great during the week, but once the weekend rolled around, I'd always find some excuse to buy a pack. Come Sunday, I'd quit again. That only lasted a few months, and now I'm back at it...

    Any drone flyers ?

    I know it's a little out of your current price range, but I'd check out the DJI Phantom 3. Shop around online and they can be had for under $400 during a good sale. My experience is limited to this drone, but it was really easy to fly. This one has a pretty decent camera, and the range is good...

    So this makes me curious.....What are the laws in ND regarding the possession of deer heads/skulls without tags? How many of you have European mounts around the house without tags on them? I know some of the heads that I've boiled in the past no longer have tags.

    Plastic Shrink Wrap

    I'm stuffing morrells replacement bags. If it were just one target I would definitely go buy one off the shelf, but I'm planning to make a few for my backyard range. Replacement bags are only $20 each, so I'll gladly spend a little extra time to find stuffing material. - - - Updated - - - Made...

    Plastic Shrink Wrap

    Well, back on the hunt for plastic again. I hit up a few of the roll-off dumpsters at the local marinas this weekend. There were quite a few of covers in there, but I was only able to get my hands on one. The rest of them were covered in fish guts, branches, grass, etc. Even saw a soiled pair of...

    Plastic Shrink Wrap

    I have a big 3x3 target that is stuffed with old rags, and it works well. The targets that I'm making now will be for outdoor use and will be left outside for extended periods of time. Outdoor targets that are filled with rags, clothes, etc. will mold after a few weeks if left out in the rain...
