In Honor Of Kill Dozer Day. This is The Way To Have A Second Type Of Event

Easy killer. All I was saying is, the dude, (who is an implement dealer), graveled a lot on an 11 acre parcel and parked machinery on a highway. And zoning doesn’t like it. (Again, I hate them.) But that’s not the same scenario as a zoning board picking on a farmer for having tractors parked in a field. That’s all I was saying, that there might be some important context to the story buried in those details.
They have an argument and are trying to set a precedent, which is why that munigov ought to be crushed by every farmer in the county coming together with pitchforks and torches in hand.

Do you drink anything while shooting?

Amen to the idea that hydration and proper nutrition is never a “the day of” thing.

In fact its a daily thing. Every day.
Then if you hit a day it doesnt, you dont get dinged so bad…..


I laugh at the irony as I type this on a cell phone, but put the social media down and make being healthy a bigger priority than checking the Hide, Instantgram, facebook and whatever. Dont worry about anything on TV.
I would challenge even many match shooters that maybe they should skip a match or 2 and get their health dialed.

I dont care how well you can shoot off the top of a fence post with a 24 lb 6 GT and a 12 oz trigger or run your triple pull and rear tripod if you cant walk 4 miles in 60 minutes on fairly level ground (eastern CO, not W of I-25 😉)
Indeed, I'm usually outside a bunch in SW Florida, yard work, shooting, fishing, etc. I always laugh at these fat fucks that can barely make it from their AC into a building without keeling over--but they have that grunt works, whatever shirt!

Rifle Competition Events Cleaning for Competitions

My Philosophy and this is coming from someone that while when I was shooting at my peak I was consistently in the top 5 at 2 day matches before I took a long hiatus.

Do what works for you, and do it the same way so you get consistent results. My goal was to always make it through a 2 day match with train up and zeroing before leaving for the match, so 250-300 rounds between cleaning/maintenance.

I am putting a flip style gooseneck hitch in my truck this weekend. I did some wiring today, replaced the rear 7way socket and used a plug and play wiring harness to go into the bed for the gooseneck.

Things are so much easier and cheaper these days. I remember having to splice and solder in harnesses back in the day.
And welding in big pieces of channel iron.

My last three have all been B&W turnover balls. Big fan of those hitches.

Is this crown ok?

To the OP...

What does the crown look like at the bore edge? If it's clean and uniform... I wouldn't sweat it.

Take your Qtip like in the one pic and rub move it around the inside edge of the crown... as long as your not pulling chunks of fiber like that off from your threads... don't sweat it. Go shoot it and let it tell you how it's shooting.

Yes the overall finish of the crown work could be nicer looking.

Is this crown ok?

Send it back to whoever cut those if it bothers you that much. I’d just shoot them.

Here’s what an accuracy robbing ding looks like. My favorite walk around rifle and I went for a ride down a mountain. It actually used to be worse, that rifle (M-70 375 H&H) would stack my pet load in a solid .6-.7 hole, after the tumble, 1-1.5. I just kept shooting it and it wore down a bit, since it’s my bear fighting gun, 1.5 moa is good enough.

A crown can be damaged to the point you cannot see it with the naked eye and it can cause accuracy issues.

That one though in your pic... that's bad!

Ukraine war Bullshit.

LOL.
Dude! The US and most of the West has more sanctions stuck up Russia's ass right now than at anytime in world history.

Additionally, we have (illegally) tied up a trillion or so dollars in their government and private assets.
I don't agree with it but that is what it is. Hopefully that is short term.

Soooo........ it is absurd to suggest that the US is helping the Russian Federation.

Not to mention the US has been instrumental in setting up the chessboard over the past couple of decades that allowed this proxy war to take place.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

And without yours and western companies?
LOL.

Accuracy International Picture Thread

More shooting videos for you muppets because y'all want to see more shooting.

This was recorded in September 2024 while trying to find ammo that the Lothar-Walther 1:12 twist 20" barrel actually liked, and shows the groups at 100 and 300 yards, while I was also still trying to get comfortable behind the Accuracy International AT308 itself. Its some interesting data, and a clean day of shooting. Just only now deciding to make a full edited video of it.

Go roast me in the YouTube comments.
Thanks, but I choose to roast you right here.

Why does your face on your thumbnail look like you are having constipation issues?
