Get Rid Of Your Guns Guys

Quad 400 crossbowsMany men love hunting and even more men love the thrill of an occasional firearm-shooting session. Those men may like to know that crossbows are just as accurate as guns and have a longer firing range than any other bow. Crossbows have a bow attached to a stock, allowing them to remain loaded when not in use.

Crossbows are also easy to operate. Even those with little upper body strength can effectively pull the classic bow. One disadvantage of a crossbow is that it takes longer to load. But, it’s extended range explains its vast appeal.

Pagosa day packI always hated long hikes because I had to hulk around my big old-fashioned camping pack. At the time I didn’t know there was anything else more efficient available. I couldn’t get by without my water bottles, snacks, binoculars, and headlamp, but I hated the hefting my bulky pack on steep mountain trails.

Recently a friend told me about new compact day packs. I was amazed to find these packs had enough space for all the things I needed to bring hiking with me. I bought one and have been hiking almost every weekend.
