Rangers don't talk. My BIL was (is) one. He never told me anything other than training and cool shit he got to do. He came to visit last year for Thanksgiving and we were talking over beers. Told him about book I just read and said he could take it with him. He said, that's OK I was there and...

Clot shot.

Enter a 600 yard FTR match off bipod for 60 shots for score and come back with results.

Not really.

I know a guy that was his 1st deployment on that operation as AC-130 gunner. He said that was a hell of a way to start.

This 100%. I've seen this many times where a new guy shows up to 600-1000 yard F class match with a factory pencil barrel Rem 700 and box ammo and comes in last place and can't understand "why".

My sons took turns driving a S-10 with 240,000 miles in HS. I said that’s what you get, take it or leave it. Both are responsible men now.

Black smoke, full throttle? Kind looks like he steered into it?

Regarding my post previously. 5 shots at 100 yards. .308 FTR in testing. Same gun 20 shots 1000 yards in a match. Shots 14-17 were killer and on top of each other. But 20 shots is what we score and is, what it is. End of day, HM score at 1000 yards in FTR. Again all wind reading.

I shoot FTR matches at 600 and 1,000 yards. I've seen some really nice equipment over the years that I'm sure is .25 MOA at 100. However, the reality at the target is 1.25-1.5 MOA at 1000 yards for 20 shots (or worse depending on conditions). At that point it's more about wind reading than...

I love that I have a local butcher shop. I give them almost 100% of my biz when I can.

The state of WI had this 20+ years ago. It's buried on the last page of your closing documents. I was at closing and knew to the dime what I was getting for my house after all closing costs etc. There was this one line for like $5,000 something and I looked at attorney and said what is this? He...

Read that a couple years ago. The crazy part, it was not that long ago.

I've waited a over year before and also just a couple months. Last time my wife said it would be "a long time" before we got another dog. She was looking within weeks and we had new family member 2 mos later. Dogs pick you.
