Website issues question

Is there a setting that I might change, to change up how difficult this site is to sign in to? My two examples are, that I cant get in on aicraft wifi because of some weird security issue, and, whenever I sign in from another computer, there's always some odd " Ut ohhhhh, you signed in from another ip address! Can you confirm it's you?"
Can I change some setting to avoid these things that I have never seen before on any other website?

Anderson Mfg. Sold to Ruger..... Any concerns?

I'll pose a question to everyone; can anyone confirm the Ruger actually produced their own AR receivers? I mention this because years ago I bought some parts from a company in San Diego called JDM. Turned out that JDM actually made receivers for other companies like Spike's Tactical. JDM has since gone out of business but companies they produced for had to seek other sources. Toolcraft is another company who sells their products under different company names. Maybe Ruger figured it was cheaper to buy the company than continue to pay them to make products for them?

Must depend on the matches in your area.
I've never used a 6-9 Harris other than shooting off a bench, so the PRS Ckyepod would probably be a bit short for me.

The standard Ckyepod on the middle width is slightly shorter than a 9-13 Harris which I find to be about perfect.

Yeah all depends on what you need and where. I used the Harris all over the country in matches but if I needed taller I’d usually toss my pack under it. Why the Ckyepod PRS is plenty high for me for standard matches. It it’s a NRL Hunter style then I can see a double or triple would be better or a tripod.

The Ckyepod PRS is plenty high enough for me. That single should be higher than a 9-13 but maybe that’s at the narrowest setting.

Night Vision N-Vision Clip On Thermal ?

Ran the XRF for a few years and it was one of the best thermals I’ve ever had. Few months ago I picked up a S60R and man it’s unbelievable. From the screen size, image quality, ballistic calculator etc. I’m all about buying American but the way thermal advances so fast, it makes it very hard. I feel like by the time this clip on hits the market 640 will be looked at like 384 is today. Thing of the past.
My only counterpoint to this is the footage of American stuff that I’ve seen is light years ahead of anything Chinese. Look at Derek Duncan’s review of the guide TB1250lrf. First 1250 sensored clip on. Then look at a video of the Vodoo M it’s not remotely comparable despite the resolution difference. Now I’m sure as AI upscaling continues to be integrated into thermal. The performance of lower res units will continually be improved upon. But i mean the difference in these units is astonishing. And the lesser looking one at least on video has near double the resolution of its thermal sensor.

PRS Talk New shooter timing out a lot

I would suggest to do alot of dry fire practice, focus on where u set the gun looking over the scope and make every step intentional. Don't ever settle for a bad bag setup you will save time by picking the gun back up and getting a good bag placment. Don't focus on speed, it will come with time but make everything intentional and go out and practice. It hard to learn on the clock. If u can't use the next match for practice and just go slow and learn. Talk to the good shooters and see if one of them can give u a couple of things to work on.

Do you know of a REALLY low, cantilever mount? (30mm, 0-MOA)

Nightforce 1.125" 0 MOA
I have one of these and it's a PITA, most of my scopes won't fit as the turret housing will hit the base before the tube sits in the lower ring halves.

Nyent 11 whyit you botherin me

So ran some errands after dinner last night. Blue button down for Graduation Party, 511 and check . Top off gas in truck. Check . Stop for a 12 pack . Holy Mother a Homeless Crackhead ax juggling wackadoo .
I pull into the parking lot and Slotard the bicycle ridin clown is weaving in and out of lot traffic whilst flipping a hatchet in the air . K . I enjoy the show , find a parking spot and get out . Well our fine Crystal Methodist pulls up at Beer Distributor and dismounts hatchet in hand a fallipin . Guy is just hangin, effin with the ax and his bike next to the entrance. If I haven't clearly painted the Bob Ross masterpiece by know leh me
splain it. Mofugga looks not shelf stable , 5'10" and a buck fitty of unwashed Cray Cray .
So keeping Tueller in mind . For y'all non LEO that's , Stupid with a weapon can traverse 21ft and give you a makeover before you can draw . So I digress. I walk past keeping an eye etc . Low and behold Dumbass walks in behind me . In summation. Henry Longfellow Eisten buys a tallboy , goes out , cracks it open and proceeds with the ax show whilst owning the area . No one at this point goes anywhere near . After all the inexplicable evil and violence lately I decided to call 911 .
So I call and get the Queen of the ghetto. She doesn't have any idea of the location , street , cross street or businesses being described . She asked " is he bothering anybody "? Pretty sure I just explained it . So I just said hey , with all the crazy violence going on I figured I should call . Her response was a resounding " ahh muh gahd ", as if I was here toddler waking her up at 2am . How bout save your editorial and send a cop . You know the thing . You get paid for it . Ya know in between surfing your phone and tryna remember to breathe .
Funny if Skippy did go all Paul Bunyon on some suburban housewife local authorities would be bitchin that " no one called about an ax wielding lunatic" .
Common around here. And Camping outdoors 'without address' here local, spunout and walking around with a hatchet seems it not illegal. Also LE does not want the sticky homeless stank hanging in the cruiser for days that sticks to the inside of your nose. so No way they putting their hands on him.

No not really. I just look at where I will be shooting, angle to target and then see if I need a few more clicks of height or not. Never usually have to extend it fully. It goes higher than the Harris BRM-S which is most in use by people in matches.

ETA some photos of Harris fully extended and Ckyepod PRS fully extended in middle width and narrowest width which is a hair narrower than the Harris. I used a line on the carpet to set both arca at the same point but the width of the ckyepod body makes it look like it’s higher up but it’s not.

My redemption from committing the cardinal sin of letting our household run out of bacon continues.

Bacon and cheese omelette whilst watching the Hungarian F1 race before heading out to finish cleaning and painting the front timing cover for my truck’s freshly rebuilt motor.
