Do you drink anything while shooting?

What I dont get is the additional sodium additives in drinks. 99.9% of Americans that eat the standard american diet are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY over their recommended sodium intake just from eating what they consider a plain breakfast (that alone does it) lunch, and dinner. There's no way unless you're REALLY pushing yourself super hard in the SW heat all day long, should you ever be low on sodium at any one point in the day. Just a normal lunch with whatever water you would drink to replace the water you lost should do it 99% of the time. My wife had a lifting coach last year, and she had to track EVERY bit of everything she took in, and we started counting how much sodium was in shit, and man, you'd be surprised. After you read EVERY label on EVERYthing you eat, and add it up, you'll see things you havent in the past. It would surprise you.
When I was really deep into competitive cycling, gatorade was a big thing, but after a few years it came out that even gatorade had too much sodium and sugar, and that you were over doing it if you drank it all day during a race or tour, unless you were sweating profusely all day in 98 degree heat in a black wool jersey. That shit was originally formulated (they say anyhow) for the football teams practicing hard in the florida heat. Was never meant for standard issue civilians during casual sweating. The recommendation was to cut it 50/50 with water to make it better for you as some people dont do well taking in that much sugar in the heat either. It sounded right to us at the time anyways.

Pearl really has something against the so-called "Christian" women. Her opinions are not without justification. Also note Pearl's comments about women who choose career first.

When they do that, "they were lied to." As Pearl correctly notes, the "career women" chose that path and won't take any accountability for their actions. They still need to blame someone else.

Suppressors Form 4 wait time

My most recent EF4 as an individual took 61 days. My brother went with me and got a couple on the same day. He was approved in 4 or 5 days. Not sure why I was the unlucky one.
You didn't show enough leg on your submitted picture:p
Think my last was about 3 weeks
Sure is hit or miss but damn sight better than it was.
Hated when it was "submit it and forget it".

JB’s Bore Paste & ARs

When using abrasives on a gas gun , it's a good idea to use a bore scope and verify that none of the abrasive paste has collected in the gas port. Blowing the abrasive back into the BCG on a DI system is not ideal.
Yup, I agree. And who knows where else. Definitely dont want it in my trigger mech when shooting suppressed either.

Carl Zeiss Sports Optics to close shop

We will see how far reaching this is , note they had production like for conqest scopes in Hungary like S&B ,but even that one cased the riflescope buisiness and is only making camera objectives now ,will be interesting to see the knock on effects as much of euro scope makers use Zeiss and their companies Schott as suppliers for their scopes. We might be seeing a Nikon moment , full hard stop on riflescopes and binos .

Do you drink anything while shooting?

My wife used to work in a hospital. There are people who get addicted to water. So much that their intake has to be strictly monitored. They have to drain the water from the toilets in their room or they will drink it. I have somewhat the same problem with beer, though I have never been tempted with a toilet full of it.
LOL. What the fuck! Out of the toilet??? DAM MAN. Maybe those people should be culled from the herd anyhow! Still, that's like .000000000001% of the population; kind of like smart democrats.
Now beer on the other hand... that's a hard one. I am a sucker for a Guinness or a good IPA... I think about them often lol.

It's real. And it works. And most of all, it started as a bet between gunsmiths at a bar where one told another "I BET you cannot make it function though". And the rest is history...

AB Quantum Major Update 3.3 + Calypso AB Mini

Thanks for the reply! Just to clarify—I’m looking to use ABQ as the solver, with live wind data streaming into it. My concern is that if the wind sensor is paired directly to an LRF, it might not be able to stream data to ABQ. That’s why I’m asking if it’s better to have both the LRF and wind sensor connect directly to ABQ. Does that make sense?
If you pair the Calypso to the LRF, it cannot stream to ABQ through the LRF. I don't know of any LRFs that are setup to transfer that data. The LRF itself would need to supply that data.

With a Garmin, either watch or Fortrex, you can have a Kestrel and an LRF paired at the same time. AB Q seems to only allow pairing one thing at a time. So you would have to connect the LRF and get your ranges, put that into your target cards and then connect the Calypso to stream the environmentals.

The only 1 thing at a time is a HUGE limitation of AB Q in my opinion. It's built on a phone, that can have multiple bluetooth connections. I see no reason why AB Q cannot do the same thing. I get that way back when AB was first created, a range finder and a kestrel were the only real things that could use the system, but times and technology have changed drastically.
You can pair a Kestrel & LRF to a Garmin Foretrex 901 but you cannot pair a Calypso AB Mini and LRF to a Foretrex 901. However you can pair a Calypso AB Mini and LRF to a Tactix 8 or Instinct 3 Tactical because they are on the new comms protocol.
