    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    Now you know what I was meaning when you first got the QuietKat last year. Your QK and my Bakcou are somewhat similar. More of what I call a "truck bike" except not up to serious MTB trails but still good for hauling stuff. Glad you got the Giant EMTB's! These type 1 EMTB's are much more fun...

    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    I wish there was another way to do the chain drive train other than having a derailleur hanging down but it is what it is. I managed to bend the derailleur on two of my bikes. The bike shop just bent them back but the shifting is barely acceptable on one of them. It's kind of a back up ebike(the...

    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    I'm finally getting in summer shape again, meaning I did 17 miles with 2 other old guys today on EMTB's on blue difficulty trails. Ha sounds silly compared to Jbell. One of these guys is 79 years old, was a triathlete, and it's amazing how well he does. But this week a friend my age, 65-ish...

    Rifle Scopes Deciding on deer rifle optic

    Just two weeks ago I shot a yote at 190Y with my 5mmFBI with a Athlon Heras 4-20 SFP scope on top but it was on 16x and just then another one came out at 60Y running off to the side. The FOV was too small to track it while running so it got to the trees. I put it on 12x to try that out for next...

    Long gong

    I applaud you and Thank God for people like you who steadfastly endure the extra time spent, hard work involved, and occasional headaches !!!

    Long gong

    Darn! All I can think of is if you can maybe trade some entry fees for some help. You probably already tried that and still didn't get the hoped for response?!

    Long gong

    You MD's don't get paid near enough! Hopefully you have lots of help or at least some. We have a small FT club but the MD and half a dozen other guys, including me, had our 24 steel targets set up in 45 minutes and half that time to put it all up. Many of us camp out at this location, a...

    Long gong

    I like Hozer's and Lash's match concepts. IT keeps things more interesting. Also prefer to go to matches that offer higher hit ratios because it sucks when someone is a more talented shooter and only gets a 50% hit ratio but sucks worse for less talented shooters that get 10%-20% hit ratios...

    Rifle Scopes Deciding on deer rifle optic

    The LHT 4.5-22 is the least bang for the buck scope I've come across so it's on a rifle I rarely use. The Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15×50 is the best I've come across for the price as far as hunting goes. If this had daylight bright illume I'd rate it as good enough that I'd put the thought out of...

    PCP reliability and accuracy/precision

    I started with airguns as a boy, then got into firearms comps and of all kinds until 5 years ago but also airgun comps for the last 25 years and currently still do. I reload for all my centerfires so I know all about it and have gone down the rabbit hole of trying to squeeze everything I can...

    Quality BB gun?

    I'm really not trying to be contrary but a Gamo springer is one of the worst for a few reasons, however 20 years ago they were better made than recently.

    PCP reliability and accuracy/precision

    kthomas, send that gun off to Derrick Wall of Tenacious Airguns out of Texas. He's a great guy and just as good a shooter. He's also a premier tuner. BTW Tiapan is one of the all time best pcp's ever made. It just needs new orings is all. OP, as far as PRS or NRL shooting the FX Panthera and...

    Quality BB gun?

    Even now in my old age I wouldn't mind a higher quality BB gun. I've been tempted to buy this one, lol! It uses a battery system and gets good reviews. Barra 400E. https://barraairguns.com/cdn/shop/files/400e_polymer_001.jpg?v=1744401420&width=2000 55 years ago I started with a Daisy Field...

    K-Bars Small fixed blade for your daily carry?

    Dawson with their USA made Magnacut steel is a good one and I've had nothing other than positive experiences with this company. I love their proprietary metal finishes. Here's my four so far. I EDC a fixed blade all day long and much prefer this over folders. The way the Contractor feels in...

    737R 6 Dasher Build - Rounds Sticking In Chamber

    Just throwing this out there. If not you then maybe someone else later on. Another thing that might be happening is you have a tight chamber causing not quite enough expansion at the .200 line on the web of the case. Exacerbated the hotter the load is because the brass expands a tiny bit more...
