I like the AGC harness and I keep my range finder either in the front pocket or in a FHF pouch thats attached to the right side of my bino harness. I go back and forth which way I like more.

Yes. I've had a few different ones and I like the cub w/ max pocket the best. I got dat coyote brown one thou.
I also like the bungee better than the buckles to keep the lid closed.

What's the difference b/w cub and x50?
What's the difference b/w cub and x50?
Size. Cub fits 10x42s, x50 fits the x50s.
I use FHF Gear harness and range finder pouch. It's served me well for the last 3 seasons.

I have the AGC Cub w/ Max pocket as well, but mine is in Fusion. I love it.
Anyone have any experience with marsupial? Found it on the goHunt store, apparently their staff is high on it for archery purposes specifically because it's easy to open and grab your knockers with one hand while keeping your bow in the other. I personally like to grab knockers with both hands for the full effect....
7k head in four states filmed, edited, uploaded. Aaaaand I don't even get to go to the sale now.
Looks pretty serviceable and a lot like the AGC and FHF harnesses.
Also for the record, I have no issues operating my AGC harness with 1 hand.

It looks like the cub weighs more but carries less than the x50...?!?
Yes, it's only 4oz more but oz = lb and lb = pain.

I don't sweat a few ounces *flex*
After staring at a computer all of yesterday and most of the morning I got outside and flung a handful.
Third group at forty after some tinkering w a ridiculously 3" dampener (not stabilizer). It is not a pleasure to aim. I don't think I can not go buy something if I'm going to take a compound. It will take $300 in stabilizers to avoid it.

wut?
this worthless thing
At least worthless on this bow.
Where does it reside?
Where a proper stabilizer ought to go
Get rid of that and go get you a B-Stinger Pro Hunter Maxx or something similar.
The counter slide looks interesting. But I may sell some stuff laying around and hunt up a used bow somewhere.
...man... I am out of shape. Out of running shape, out of shooting shape, everything. I can't send more than about 30 arrows downrange before I start getting a little wobbly. And my left shoulder is giving me fits. Being old, fat, and lazy sucks.
That arrow isn't going to fly right anymore.
The good news is the groups after tightening up. ... Back to 5 spot. No more shooting two arrows at the same target.

But groups are sexy
How do you see those tiny little dots from any reasonable distance?
Got the bow tuned up Monday at the shop, and shot it some more yesterday morning. Did a couple rounds of walk back tuning and it seemed good enough (for now). So any erratic flight is mostly on me now--no more excuses. Time to get back in good shooting form and habits.
Did manage to put some lead down range in a few rifles today to get ready for mule deer and antelope season.

Groups are sexy. ...but they're also damned expensive. I rarely shoot groups at less than 40-50 yards, but trying to lock in a little right now I've been shooting 3 arrows per spot at 25 and 30. But I'm starting to see some ($$) damage.
Those spots aren't too bad at 45 or 50, but after that it's difficult. My pins at 45 and beyond are only 0.010, so they're pretty small.

Gotdang rationalization.
I want to go shoot a prime centergy hybrid w 80 lb limbs.

I took my family to Colorado for the Fourth. Since I didn't draw Colorado this year there wasn't any real scouting done. But it's always nice to see mule deer, elk, and goats in the mountains. I got some good miles on my new Superfeet insoles. This was also my first time to use Exo's 2000 cu-in bag.
Fishing with the goats in Arapaho National Forest:
I've seen a lot of goats in the San Juans during hunting trips, but this is as close as I've ever been to them. Had two in bow range. Cool animals. I'm going to BC next year for a goat hunt so this was a nice surprise.
Exo's crib load panel works great for kids:

Nice pics. I'm assuming the one with the goat in the background was on purpose? If not, that's even cooler.
And I love my Exo 2000. I'm about to buy a 5500 to go with it.

Great pics. Goats, as long as you don't try to hide from them, are stupid. Where we mule deer hunt (near Breck) they will walk up to you to drink your urine off the ground. Literally all you have to do is start peeing and they'll run to you. You can pet them.
My last mule deer hunt up there (about 4 years ago) we ran into a TV show film crew as they were scouting for goats because they had drawn a tag. We laid out what we knew about the local goats. They obviously (for TV, and I believe personal reasons) didn't want to hunt them that way. About 6 months after we got home I happen to stumble upon their TV show and lo and behold they kill a goat. To their credit, they tried to hunt goats the hard way, struck out, and then killed one on top where we showed them. ...they didn't try to sugar coat it at all.

I have a question for arrow or you other guys following along on the "binoculars" thread. What do you guys think about Caladan's thoughts on 10x42 vs 10x50 and the extra minutes of light you get with a 50mm making it "in his opinion" the ideal hunting spec. Dude obviously knows his stuff when it comes to glass but I don't think he's a hunter. I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on my first set of nice binos and been locked in on 10x42 but he made me think a little bit about 10x50.
I don't have any experience w/ x50 binos, but the science behind what he's saying is correct. In some instances it might be worth the few extra minutes of visibility you get from the 50s.
I believe he uses binos a lot for birdwatching, which is still looking at/for animals, sometimes in low light. The advantages there would be the same as when hunting.
