HideTV live streaming coming soon

Hey everyone, we're excited to announce that we’ll be rolling out a streaming platform soon called HideTV. This has been in the works for a while and after several months of hard work behind the scenes, we can finally say that it’s coming soon! On HideTV, you’ll be able to catch lessons, competitions, interviews from experts and hang out with other community members on stream. Here’s a short video to show you what the platform will look like (this is a demo of the platform and doesn't have the same content HideTV will have):

Excited for this to come out and we’ll send updates as soon as we’re ready to roll out the platform!

What is with all the Profanity???

Please don’t get me wrong I do not have virgin ears, and I can cuss like a sailor. But, what I have a hard time with is hearing people in our sport talk about the lack of young people getting into the sport.
When I listen to podcasts and the constant f… this and f….that, I am embarrassed to recommend these podcasts to young shooters.
Sometimes I wonder if the producers of these podcasts set around the dinner table and talk to their wives and young children like this?

I just finished listening to Phil and Kaylin’ podcast and they played a soundtrack of Kaylin teaching. In the soundtrack he said “pin the f…n trigger to the rear.” If that is how he teaches all his students, I would not recommend anyone send young shooters to that school for classes.

Ok rant mode off.

Sean Penn...American Men are Pussies

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/sean-penn-american-men-feminized

Rarely agree with Sean Penn's politics, but on this he is 100% on point. I've been saying the same thing for the last 25 years it seems. What the fuck has happened to men in this country? Young boys playing with dolls? Children being encouraged to identify with whatever sex they "prefer". These metro-sexual skinny jeans wearing, latte sipping, feminine men that I see everywhere nowadays. I'm not that old, in my 50's. You didn't see any of this shit when I was growing up. God help us if our woke military ever does get into a full blown war with China or Russia.

Got permission to get a new 22. Please help

So I'm having a hard time getting the 10/22 to run reliably.
My dad got me the gun when I was a kid.
Talked to him today and told him I'm going to end up with a bolt gun 22 anyway, and if I cant get the 10/22 to run it will just sit and got get used. He's cool with me trading it out.
Looking at a handfull of guns. Goal will be to run rimfire matches with it. Probably shoot rats at the hog feeder too.
1, I posted about this one before, Walmart has the savage MK2 in a boyds stock with a threaded bull barrel.
2, CZ AT ONE. Looks pretty nice.
3, Looking at 3 different Rugers. The 8351 is black plastic and threaded stainless barrel. The 8348 is the laminated stock with heavy threaded stainless barrel. And then the 8378 is the long range target.
The only reason I am leaning toward the Rugers is because I already have a few 10 and 25 round mags....
The Bergara looks real nice but I've heard a lot of bad things and a buddy has one that the trigger sucked and then got worse as he shot it. I dont want to spent $1,100 and then have to spend more money to replace brand new parts....
And I'm poor. So drooling at pictures of Voodoos is as close as I'll get to one....

Conversion of views on firearms.

I just watched this video. Admittedly I like a whole lot of this guy's videos but I never knew he was (previously) anti gun, or at least not very supportive of it.

That being said it takes a big man to admit his mistakes. After you watch please let me know what you think. To me this is setting a great example for so many people out there.

Democrats have always been parasites

Ever heard the song, "Big Rock Candy Mountain"? Written in the 1890's and first sang in1928 it is basically an outline of life as envisioned by Democrats. The current mess they have made of America has been in the works for nearly 100 years.

It is literally a song about land where the worthless assholes of the earth receiving free public transportation, demanding climate change for their benefit, getting released from jail for their endless crimes, laying around all day on drugs and alcohol, fucking children and stealing from others while living the life of parasites. The deleted the verse on buggering children, another Democrat value is pedophilia.

In the closing verse, the song mentions "See you in the fall", which is a classic behavior of trade union scum for the last 120 years. When construction season ends, they all drive down to Florida and sit on unemployment and welfare for the winter. So the scumbag anthem has been around since the commies arrived in the late 1890's.

Lyrics:


One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning"

"I'm headed for a land that's far away
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains"
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

There's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night

Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
And the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees

The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs


The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow

Where the rain don't fall
The winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks

The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too


You can paddle all around it
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again

As soon as you are in

There ain't no short-handled shovels
No axes, saws nor picks

I'm goin' to stay
Where you sleep all day

Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains


Deleted verse:

The punk rolled up his big blue eyes
And said to the jocker,
"Sandy,I've hiked and hiked and wandered too,
But I ain't seen any candy.
I've hiked and hiked till my feet are sore
And I'll be damned if I hike any more
To be buggered sore like a hobo's whore
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains."

To PCC or not to PCC...?

A buddy of mine has told me that he's "finally" convinced to get an AR given the times we are living in. After talking about it a while, he decided he wants to get something in 9mm because he does not want to deal with any additional calibers (currently, his only rifle caliber is .308). He has asked for my recommendation (budget is around $1200).

I know that he is not going to mess around with any stamps, so for him, we are looking at rolling the dice on a pistol/brace build, or a full 16" barrel.

Now, all the "experts" like to say that PCCs "don't suck" and the reasons and examples they offer usually revolve around SBRs and suppressors.

In this case, though, I'm having a hard time recommending something that doesn't suck, because in my personal opinion, if one is to bother with a long gun, it damn well better shoot something more powerful than 9x19. However, I don't want to discourage him from exercising that 2A muscle. I just can't fathom why one would want to take the weight/size penalty of a rifle only to dispense pistol-level firepower.

In my mind, the sweet spot for a PCC is a barrel 6 to 9 inches, and with a brace (unless one is inclined to SBR it). Anything outside of that, and I just can't justify the cost of one as a serious duty/self defense rig given other choices (shorter than 6 inch barrel, we're looking at sidearm ballistics; 10 inches and longer, might as well go 5.56).

Am I missing anything here? I get that they are fun to shoot, but so are airsoft guns.

Even still, my current list of recommendations is (in no particular order):
CZ Scorpion Evo
B&T GHM9 (if he's willing to come up a couple hundred)
CMMG Banshee
And I'm thinking about adding the Stribog A3 to the list pending more info.

First set of binos - which mag?

Hey all,
I’m going prairie dog hunting for the first time this spring and figured I’d grab some binos for spotting. Now, this will be my first pair and here’s some info about my shooting:
1. I have the little Leupold 25x50 armored spotter, which I like, but it’s hard to look through for any length of time
2. I shoot precision .22 and am getting into long range with both a precision-ish AR15 and a Howa Bravo 6.5 CM. I’m thinking about trying out PRS for fun and to learn me some things. I’d also like to learn to spot an help out when at matches when I’m not shooting.
3. Hunting would likely be limited to predator and varmit for now. P-dogs will be in the 75-250 yard range reaching out to 500 if we want to shoot long.
4. I have a tripod and will mount the binos for extended glassing

So, given that, and a ton or reading here and on some other forums, I was initially thinking that a 15x set of binos sounded like the way to go. Given that I’m newer to long range, I’m guessing I may be more prone to thinking I need more magnification than I really do. Am I right in looking for 15x or should I really be looking at 12x instead?

Brand-wise I’m looking at Meoptas, Steiners, Leupy Santiams, and Mavens. The Athlon Cronus and Bushnell Forge look interesting given the price but not sure it’s worth saving the money. I tend to buy once cry once, but within limits (ie my long range scope is an Athlon Cronus not a Nightforce or Kahles).

Anyway - I’d love to hear your thoughts on 12x vs 15x and if I’m looking at the right brands. Also, is there anything I’m not considering that I should be?

Thanks!!!

Labradar - New app has a bug in the Shot Detail (SOLVED)

Here's the deal ... I was plotting my data using the new app, and discovered that my individual shots didn't line up with the series totals (Avg, SD, ES, High and Low). For instance, a five-shot 300-WM group had averages of this ...

1643554859887.png
... but the shot details show much lower numbers ...
1643555014531.png


Note - shot #5 was 2860 ... just didn't fit on the screenshot.
Note - ignore the projectile weight, that's not "real", I forgot to change it. It doesn't effect velocity anyway. I was shooting Berger 200.20x HT's.

So then ... I pulled the SD card to look at the raw data and here's what I got ...

1643555360665.png


So the raw data is correct and matches the series totals on the App ... but the shot details in the series are WRONG.

I shot five different series yesterday, and every one is the same. The raw data matches the series totals and is correct ... the app-based shot details are totally wrong, and I have no idea where those numbers are coming from.

Has anyone else seen or investigated this? I'd like some "Peer Review" before I take this to Labradar.

BTW ... App is the most up-to-date version, and the Labradar firmware was just updated as well.
