Reticle Design and our Disagreements

NF and others put the small reticle section in to use for reticle ranging, so that your using the same part of the reticle to range all the time. Yes, in most cases we’re using lasers now, that was not the case at all times. While I understand you don’t like it but in some schools of thought there were welcomed.

As the end of the day I agree it’s hard to work your way through it all in all.

What are you listening to?

If you have kids that are difficult to wake up in the morning, don't yell at them. Forget throwing a bucket of ice water on them. If you thought about playing a recording of Reveille, ditch that idea.

Just play this song outside their door in the morning. They will wake up, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to take on the day with gusto! They will love you for it.

Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

Yeah fundamentals. Spend some time at a range and you’ll see lots of shooters with terrible fundamentals shoot a bolt gun pretty well. Hell, RO a PRS match and you’ll see 1/2 of the shooters finger the trigger like it’s their date on prom night. A heavy-ass bolt gun in a mouse fart cartridge makes it pretty not hard. Try that with a 6 lb semi auto and you’re in for a day of frustration.

Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

Fundamentals, I never had a coach with the exception of basic military training and qualifications.

I did do some (low level sort of) security details guarding special weapons , aircraft perimeters yada yada. My primary mos was aircraft mechanic.

That didn't stop me from being in the right place at the wrong time occasionally. Lol 🤣

Anyway I was always a decent shot, competitive in clays but nothing else. Minute of deer and not much else.

I joined the hide and they lit a fire in my ass. So much expertise here it's incredible.

So my shooting got better my reloading got better a bit at a time.

The one thing that will be a benchmark is getting an ar to shoot under 1 moa, 3/4, 1/3 .

It can be done with tools less expensive than the best. Top shelf is not a necessity it's a luxury.

I still use sorted range brass.

My favorite trigger is a 2 stage from a Brownells completion kit.
It was slicked up with a stone and a lighter replacement spring used.

It all comes together fast once the first load takes shape.

Now I look forward to stretching out.
