The war in Ukraine and Donbas

The west kept pushing Russia till it was backed into a corner, they really had no other choice. It would be silly to think they will not pull.

This is exactly what will happen again

It should be pretty clear to everyone that this war was due to the provocation of NATO.

NATO has only crept closer and closer to Russia, which every serious scholar of Russia would know that is an absolute red line to them. From George Kennan to Mearsheimer, and every scholar and expert in between, we have been warned that expanding NATO into Ukraine is the reddest of lines to Russia, and would compel Russia to act (begrudgingly).

The final domino to fall to trigger this war happened in 2014, when Ukraine's far right launched a coup against the democratically elected government of Ukraine, with the help of the CIA. Yanukovych was overthrown because he had no interest in growing stronger ties with the west and NATO, instead he wanted to be a neutral party. That saw the installment of a Ukrainian government that was friendly to US and western interests, and many events transpired that would eventually lead Russia to invade.

And here we are. Of course western legacy media outlets ignore all the history before February 24th 2022. Instead, they just focus on Russia's "unprovoked" war that started on that day. The propaganda has been insanely high levels on this conflict, it's a bit surreal to see people being brainwashed so heavily in real time to this conflict.

Muzzle Brake question

Surprised by your inclusion of the little bastard in the list. My experience is that as a break it is wonderful, but the concussion hits the shooter and those near you really hard!

I don't feel any of the blast, but the people to my left and right sure do.

When it comes to effectively shooting large frame gassers and running muzzle brakes recoil reduction/control is the name of the game, maybe I'm just not hypersensitive to muzzle blast.

The Gen3 LB is adjustable so dialing it in for a clean straight to the rear recoil impulse is what's going to get you the faster follow-up shots and the ability to spot your impact and missed shots for proper corrections.

APA GEN3 Little Bastard
Area 419 Hellfire & Hellfire Match
Precision Armament Hypertap

I run all the above on my 6.5CM Gassers with excellent results, none of them have any rearward muzzle blast. As mentioned above the Precision Armament EFAB is the best at reducing recoil and muzzle blast.

Muzzle Brake question

I have across the Insite Arms Heathen and the Ace muzzle brakes. Both kinda sound like the type of muzzle brake that I am interested in. They both claim to tame recoil very close to the more aggressive muzzle brakes while not beating up the shooter with blast. Does anyone have any opinions on either? Is there any truth to their claims? Is there others claiming the same results? I am just trying to make the most informative buying decision. Thanks for any help or replies.

I solely shoot suppressed now, but when I did a lot of shooting with braked rifles previously my preference was always the Insite Heathen. I have no experience with the Ace.

Recoil reduction of the Insite Heathen is very good, and it does a decent job mitigating blast back to the shooter. Definitely more pleasant than say a 419 Hellfire or similar.

However, for concussion mitigation, nothing is going to beat a suppressor, if that's your main concern.

Training Courses Private lessons DFW, Tx.

Hogstooth
Just wanted to drop a note for my training company, I specialize in Precision rifle coaching you to shoot to the capability of your system. Private lessons and corporate events are by far my most popular courses, and I have a private 600-yard range. Most of you will say that you don't need a private lesson, but even experienced shooters can benefit from private lessons that focus on weak areas that need improvement or identifying areas that need improvement for consistency. Wind reading is always an area that needs work, and my private range happens to be in an area with a lot of wind, the neighbor's property has the big windmills. I teach you how to evaluate wind without a Kestrel, then confirm or fine tune with the confirmation of a wind meter, spot your own shots, and easily make precise adjustments for a more precise impact on target.

Most of these skills are based on good marksmanship which I focus on throughout training, without good marksmanship and consistency all the tech in the world will not help you gain hits on target. I use diagnostics which I pass along to you so that when you leave me you have the skills to self-evaluate and immediately correct deficiencies. Alot of times we start with focusing on the first shot on target but as we repeat the process we relax or skip a step which results in a miss, those mistakes have indicators of that mistake and once you know what they are, and you recognize it then it is an immediate fix.

So, if you feel that you're not as consistent as you feel you should be or feel like you are not shooting to the capability of your system shoot me an email: [email protected]

I am a former USMC Scout Sniper with over 30 years of experience shooting long range, teaching, and coaching shooters for over 15 years. I have shot everything from across the course matches, PALMA, to PRS and been competing since 1996. I have been privileged to have shot at some of the most prestigious matches, ranges, and with some of the best shooters in the world. It has always been a learning experience that I can pass along to my clients and there is nothing more rewarding than to see improvement in your abilities.

I have a private 600-yard range located within 1.5 hour driving distance south from DFW, 3 hours from Houston, and just over 3 from Austin
The range is outfitted with steel reactive targets down to MOA size
Lodging is available in Corsicana about a 20 min drive.

The war in Ukraine and Donbas

How are they going to wage a full scale war on anything when the majority of NATO nations let their militaries rot since the Soviet Union dissolved? Where are these NATO armies, air forces, navies? NATO is subsidizing Ukraine so that politicians make a bunch of payback and meanwhile Ukraine is doing most of the bleeding.

There's a lot of truth to this.

Ukraine probably has Europe's strongest army, which is pretty sad 😂

And yes, I think a lot of the motives in this war are corrupted by financial reasons. War is huge business, especially here in the US.

Nukes are always on the table to bring them to their knees. Lots of saber rattling in that direction by all sides, especially by one Lindsay Graham.

The propaganda is crazy.

If you listen directly to Putin's own words, he doesn't want to take over most of Ukraine, let alone any sort of "major war with Europe".

I feel like NATO has completely lost the plot. The leaders and officials within NATO are acting completely irrationally - and it seems like they are fully determined to wage a full scale war with Russia. Which is terrifying.

They are idiots in very powerful positions being used by autistic super villains. The whole crew only seems intelligent because they have not had to survive in the wild.
