@Powder_Burns - back in July, I was up there at the range, running a couple ladder tests and zeroing a scope.

Guy came over and told me there was no way my 18" .308 would be an accurate gun with that short of barrel. Let me know I needed more room for "spin and speed"

I asked if he wanted to each shoot a 5 rd group to see who's barrel was better....

I argue from necessity shorter is always better.

That's just rain and some wind.


Hot and nasty?
It's what happens when the rain stops at 2pm and the sun comes out with a vengeance.

UV index rises to 13+.
Normal 97° Fahrenheit and humidity rises to eleventysix thousand %.

Makes a fella remove his hat and wipe the sweat from his brow...
 
Well when you get sustained gusts of 80-120mph for a few hours in one direction, and a few hours in the other, and your neighborhood looks like this the next morning,
80F11905-8E50-4943-94E1-0D10B9FC6FF2.jpeg

and then that 97°F 1200% RH kicks in by 8AM and you realize your central AC doesn’t quite work when your power grid is down for 3 weeks and you have no roof...yeah it gets nasty.
 
Strange looking dog eh !!🙃
Taken by a friend on Mt Nebo State Park , Arkansas Yesterday.
He / They know their safe on top. May not see colors , convinced they can read !
I’ve seen 20+ quite a few times over the years. Hes healthy , does looking like they need deer sammiches.
Hell on gardens though.
Not seen that on Mt. Nebo before but I have almost clobbered one on the way up! Full disclosure I was treating it a hill climb. :LOL: You really can read your own license plate a few times on the way up if you try hard enough!

So I have my dad’s truck at my place, went to use it a few days ago..., battery dead. Tried a jump back no luck. Last night my dad brings out a charger . It was on 3 hours last night and 6 today.
Got home from work mixed up chemical to spot spray the edge of the hay fields. Truck still won’t start. Unhook the battery and put the charger on it... we wait
So I take my 10 gallon of chemical 2 five gallon buckets and I carry them 300 yards and spray... 4 gallon solo back pack sprayer.

so I needed some trigger time.

Great day Sunday... Started on the range at 100, then 410, then moved back to 835. Far as I can go without being in the road. I've been working on my fundamentals out to about 620. Very pleased with the results today. First shot was low and kind of expected. I knew I'd need to true the MV. I was just glad it was on steel. I adjusted up .2 mil but held too much wind on the 2nd. Adjusted up .2 again, 9.0 total for 3, 4, and 5. Target is a full size IPSC. Gun is a Ruger Precision Rifle in 308 shooting 175 grain FGGM. It is so addictive...

I have one of those pistols. Great little truck gun. If you pull the grip and disconnect one side of the trigger spring, it cuts the trigger pull down to about 2.5 pounds.

I have steel and Mspeed lights we could stick out there to give you more targets...

We could work on positional shooting as well.
