    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    Before this thread gets shafted like the other one........did the ATACR clone that Lobaev seemed to be working on there for a bit actually lead to a usable scope? I can't remember who posted it, but it would be interesting to see where it got up to.

    Chinese Fly Safe System Off

    This system is really just to stop asshats doing dumb things with commercial drones (just DJI uses this system AFAIK). Flying the mini into fire fighting aircraft being case in point. If someone wants to fuck something up with a drone it won't be a DJI, it will be an FPV running an FC with...

    Why The Shock Over The Paris Olympics?

    I may be in the minority here, but I feel the olympic disciplines unfairly get a bit of a bad rap from the wider shooting community for being too contrived etc. It's partly their own fault though. If they got rid of the shooting suits etc and people realised that they can still shoot better...

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    At the end of the day, does it all come back to being presidential securities 'space shuttle challenger' moment? I mean conspiracy theories will abound, but it would be pretty easy for it to happen with a few ridiculously incompetent team leaders. Imagine the conversation over the radio...

    What happened at the NRL 2024 Championship???

    This - and if you insist on screwing around and picking up and examining every item on the prize table (making to whole process take 2+ hours) - the MD will grab something for you and send you on your way.

    Sniping In The Ukraine

    PSA: any chance of you guys taking this over to the other Ukraine thread dedicated to arguing about who's winning and stop messing up this one?

    Sniping In The Ukraine

    Wouldn't this be impossible if they take it out of the box before it's shipped to the front line? Then there is also the whole 'Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to' thing. Sure, it may be some Russian intel/smuggling op. It may also be a vocal public Ukraine supporter...

    Has anyone thought of leaving the US for greener pastures?

    Yeah, you would be nuts to consider moving from a red state in the US to Australia. Living in rural QLD or NT may possibly be better than living in LA or San Fransisco currently, but Australia is a super urbanized country and politically (at local, state and federal levels) probably moving in...

    Sniping In The Ukraine

    I would of thought that the greatest gain would have been not being shot in the face 🙃. It kind of makes me wonder with the amount of trench warfare going on if it's just a case of 'what's old is new again'. Ever since WW1 snipers have used 'remote' (periscopes etc) observation systems to avoid...

    Sniping In The Ukraine

    Some kind of brass/aluminum combo for the projectile?

    Sniping In The Ukraine

    It kind of cuts both ways though. Using the example above - the Russians version of the 'servicable' item would probably get you change from $100, whereas the TCROW/XCROW probably runs north of 1k. No question that the TCROW/XCROW are superior products, but if you can get the job done for less...

    Sniping In The Ukraine

    I admire the Russians creativity with stuff they buy off Aliexpress.....

    Sniping In The Ukraine

    I would be super interested to see one of these scopes. Even if the glass isn't quite there, if it matches the ATACR in durability and reliability that's still a pretty solid effort.

    Any First Drone Recommendations?

    The only real solution to this one it to use an open flight controller system (pixhawk + ardupilot) or something similar. That pretty much eliminates everyones spyware. Probably not a 'first drone' thing though

    Any First Drone Recommendations?

    I think they only make a few specific models in the USA (probably only solely so they can get the government contracts). The rest is .ch
