I have had this pack for a few years and it's a pretty good pack, it still looks brand new. The pros are excellent and strong material, excellent stitching, nice design, excellent zippers, straps and buckles. It's pretty comfortable and has good adjustments, very strong carry handle and all around great quality. I havent been caught out in the rain yet so I can't comment on how waterproof it is but my guess is it would deal with keeping water out just fine. If you don't pack it to the fullest the straps do a good job tightening it up, you can shrink it down very well to hug your body. It will happily carry your rifle or bow although I don't have a bow but it should work. Basicaly you can easily carry anything long,(trekking pole, shooting sticks, fishing pole...)The two back small pouches are nice for a knife and flashlight but the side waist compartments are perfect for a larger survival knife and other stuff for quick access. The cons are few but there are some, the optics center pouch is not extra space, when you put stuff in that area it takes up space from the main compartment but it's still nice to have a seperate space for that and is readily accesible from the top. The pack rides a little low, if you buckle the waist strap properly over your pelvis the darn thing rides a little low but that's not a show stopper, if you have a heavy rifle it may be cumbersome as the rifle hangs the furthest from your body, heavy items should always be closest to your body. I don't carry many things so I keep it sinched up, possible problem is solved. Even if you do pack it full the shoulder straps have good padding and it's pretty comfortable. I don't do any big game hunting so I mainly use it for hiking, fishing and plinking trips. I think this pack is worth the money and a good value.
