    Left eye dominant shooting

    Kids are easily trained regarding muscle-memory. What seems wonky at first will be 2nd nature in a few weeks. Use the dominant eye to choose which "handed" he'll shoot, and learn to shoot w/both eyes open. Both eyes open significantly improves your depth of field and distance perception...

    Best kicks?

    PF (and tendon damage in general) is hard to reverse because the Achilles and many other tendons are poorly perfused. Brooks Beast for actual exercise or walking about have helped my heels a lot.

    Best kicks?

    I bought some lightweight, light colored, mesh-top Sketchers this spring and was very happy with them in the boat this summer: https://www.skechers.com/arch-fit-orvan---denison/210431_TAN.html

    270 WSM ammo

    No, but, I've used a plain old 270Win and Barnes bullets for 15+ yrs on enough game that a 130 from a 270WSM sure wouldn't spook me.

    Possible prop change?

    I realize this isn't exactly your boat/motor combo, but, it's also not too far off. I have a Yar-Craft 186 w/200HP Yamaha. I switched from a doggy-out-of-the-hole 20P Yamaha prop to a 19P Merc Enertia prop and it made a huge difference planing out, especially with another person or 2 in the...

    What was your 1st boat, ever?

    1983-ish I won an inflatable Coca-Cola rubber raft from the grocery store in Arrowhead Mall in Bismarck. Didn't take long before it had a hole and leaked. 2001 I bought a '78 18' Lund Mr. Pike side-console w/50HP Merc for $1500 from a good friend of my dad's.

    100vs200yd Zero

    Zeiss, Swaro, Leica, S&B, probably some others, although, I do believe that Zeiss and Leica have swapped that on their turrets recently, now only their variable power ring is backwards.

    100vs200yd Zero

    I don't disagree, I suspect I work harder than I have to by not making the switch to FFP and MIL. I'm a SFP/MOA Luddite.

    100vs200yd Zero

    Regarding SFP, assuming max power is the values you have for subtensions, values then double @ 50% of max power. That can help a person w/Windage holds vs.dialing. For example, Leupold’s “Windplex” is 1MOA hashes @ max power. If one cuts power by 50%, they become 2MOA hashes.

    Frame packs: Overwhelmed

    3-Gal or 10Gal Ziplock "Big Bags". They're thick, durable, will keep your pack clean, and don't have that photo-degrade chemical that garbage bags have that'll ruin meat.

    Warm water walleyes

    Caught some beauties on Sat basically “ice-fishing” weed edges in 10’-14’. Creep along w/bow-mount until I marked fish then drop a jig on their head. Couldn’t replicate on Sunday though. ??????

    Scheels shooting in Eden Prairie

    Some folks are determined, I haven’t the 1st clue how one might begin to attempt to stop something like this.

    DJ's Should Be Fired for Playing...

    I thought the singer of Rush was female until I saw their performance when they were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame.

    DJ's Should Be Fired for Playing...

    I like the song and it's not overplayed, but, it pissed me off to no end to not be able to figure out what movie I'd heard it in recently. I'm a fan of GnR's "Patience" and Aerosmith's "Pump" and "Get a Grip". Other than "Hot For Teacher", I change the station when ANYHING Van Halen starts.

    DJ's Should Be Fired for Playing...

    Heard this on XM the other day and it “earwormed” me from a movie, finally had to look it up. Opening scene of Avengers Endgame:

    Rifle Scope

    I have the FFP version of this. So far so good.

    Christensen Arms

    So you’re $1400-$1800 (or more potentially) into the build depending upon what stock you choose, and depending upon if you need someone to bed it or if you’re capable of doing it yourself.

    Christensen Arms

    In the days of $300-$350 used Remington rifles laying everywhere I’d have agreed. Anymore, you’re going to be $300-$500 (or more) higher having the “same” rifle built, and far less re-sale unless you use a “well known” smith, which again, you’re going to pay a significant premium for.
