    Hello. So, once again, a review without one word about the fit. Literally, the ONLY thing a review should be about . Anyone can look at the pictures, and read about the construction of them. We don’t need a “review” to tell us what they are made of. We need to know what your foot size is. What size do you wear in other major brands. What size did you buy. How did that size, fit your size, feet. That’s it. That’s the review. Not a single word, ever, in any review, about the fit. Just goes to show you. 99.9% of Earth’s population, is useless.

    I’ve had one for about a year. There’s is a few little things that could be easily changed to make it perfect but not a big deal at all. I think the best thing about it is its strength to weight ratio…. This tent is really strong and weighs only about 5lbs. I have two other mountaineering tents that are maybe a little stronger but both of those weigh 10lb or so!

In the very front pouch you can put 2 mirrorless bodies if needed. Plenty of pockets for extra batteries and such. Bag just doesn’t offer the typical padded protection a true camera pack does.

    If you were looking to go light and little less expensive but weren’t necessarily going to hunt with the arrows, why didn’t you go with 300 spine RIP XV’s? They come in at 7.1 GPI and come with light components. They are also 5mm, so better in the wind. .001 shafts are like $130/dozen. Just interesting to see folks talking about “light” TAC arrow builds using Easton, when Easton doesn’t really compete in the GPI category with Victory. Wouldn’t the XV’s just be a lighter arrow, with a smaller diameter, at a better price point?

    • @shippadventures
      @shippadventures 10 місяців тому

      Solid point no doubt. With my background shooting the Easton Hexx arrow and really loving that arrow for the weight, performance, and price it felt like more of a comfort decision with my past history. However, I’m not married to any specific brand of arrow and I’m always open to exploring new options. I do really love my RIP TKOs for hunting and that was a route I considered going down. I also wasn’t aware of the XVs to be honest. All the comments here really lead to that arrow. I will pick up a half dozen and see how these shoot for me as well. Thanks for checking out the video.

      Climbing sticks yes. I run the Skeletors across the top of the bag horizontal and clip them with the smaller clips at the top of the bag. As far as the platform you might be pushing it. You could possibly crisscross the bottom straps through the platform and connect them to the opposing sides of the bag. Not sure how secure all that would be on the bag.
