    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Plantar Fasciitis

    Re: Plantar Fasciitis The combination of night time splints, and good CUSTOM foot orthotics can do the trick. Keep your feet dorsiflexed while you sleep in the splints at night to keep the tendon on stretch while it heals. and than have appropriate orthotics in your shoes. good luck

    Range finding Binos?

    Re: Range finding Binos? Ya, my buddy has a pair of those Bushnell's... Very impressive ranging. I just cant stand to look through that glass, it is too coated or off in color. I really like my leica glass and want to stay at that quality or better. impressive though for the money!
