My name is Ryan Compton owner of S&R Outfitters. Hog control or field protection is one of my most favorite times of the year. Weather it be corn, wheat, soy beans or even hay fields. The pigs leave the woods & move to the harvest. It’s hot on most nights. Wild hogs […]
This past Memorial weekend I competed in the California State 3D Broadhead Tournament that was held at Tejon Ranch in Gormon California, that’s only put on once a year by California Bowmen Hunters Big Game Club.

Like many, I wrestled for months with my decision in which brand to try. After a successful Rocky Mountain elk hunting season, I knew it was […]
2016 was my first hunt with my dad since his battle with Prostate Cancer. This was my first year trying Skre gear and I couldn’t be more pleased and impressed.
