    cross fit $$$$$$$$$$$$

    That's totally consistent with what I have seen. Nearly every single injury I have seen occurred with a barbell in the hands of the person who got hurt. And of those, the majority were attempting heavy (for them) lifts. The only others were a twisted ankle from a harder than necessary...

    Training Courses BHTC 2 Day Initial/Intermediate Precision Rifle, Apr. 4-5, Lewistown, PA

    Thank you guys, We have about five spots left as of 1/9/14. It looks like I will be closing the roster soon, and sending out the equipment list and the pre-course assignment materials. The winter has left us to conduct lots of target repairs and to update and re-organize using lessons...

    HAHAHA!!! True... True... And we have been known to chisel from each other's playbook from time to time. Openly, and notoriously. ;-) --Fargo007

    cross fit $$$$$$$$$$$$

    It's true a lot of places are severely overpriced. The only absolute conclusion I have about it is that I'm coming at crossfit from the wrong end of the cash register. 7 reps at 75# is VERY impressive bro! That's my 1 rep max. But I'm 47,and the oldest one there. I usually crush the 20...

    Advanced Marksmanship effects of bipod on concrete during recoil.

    Everyone's right about the body position driving this. Just wanted to add that you could simply lay your shooting mat down, and then set up making sure the bipod legs are on the mat rather than the cement. --Fargo007

    If you could only have one AR platform

    Any RECCE type config in 5.56 would be my first pick for the most versatility. Good accurate quality barrel free floated and wearing a can. --Fargo007

    Rifle Scopes What's out there for a quality FIXED 12-14x?

    Looking for fixed magnification in 12-14 range In MIL/MIL with an illum reticle. The SWFA 12x is the only one I could find. I would rather have an illuminated reticle and a side parallax knob rather than that rear ring they use. --Fargo007

    how many mils in a mil dot?

    It's an interesting exercise to have a firing line of students do this using a piece of 8.5x11 paper they just zeroed on. With the SFP scopes set at their "published accurate" magnification setting it is cool to see the spread they come up with. FFP and SFP's alike. A FFP scope should be...

    Ak47 optic and mount advice

    What are you using on it? On mine I've got an aimpoint CompM4 in an AD Low mount. It does not co-witness but I can still see the front sight. Since it's QD it doesn't need to. I agree they are excellent, and (outside of the Beryl Archer's excellent proprietary rail) the only credible...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST clarity

    You are not alone my friend. There is a huge oversampling of MD's in this shooting discipline. I won't begin to guess as to what the attraction is but to the man they make really good students, I can say that. That's really not that heavy of a gun, and even more reason to keep it as...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST clarity

    Yes, this is on the way to what I mean but there are some technical and practical reasons that some fail to come to grips with simply because they've convinced themselves that "more is better," "I just need it so that makes it OK," or they have always shot this way as a matter of habit. At...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST clarity

    From the perspective of running a training company, we see a lot of scopes succeed and have watched others dramatically fail. I can tell you that the PST's perform extremely well from what I have seen personally. I haven't seen one fail a student yet, and we have added them to the list of...

    Ak47 optic and mount advice

    The plus of the ultimak and MI rail are that they are barrel clamp designs which guarantee that the sight is perfectly aligned over the bore. Anything mounted in the back (on top of the receiver, or the side rail) doesn't proceed under that assumption because it depends on how the gun was...

    Comp Equipment Questions

    Except that's not the way it's done at all. The dope does not get "converted" to align to the reticle. The dope is absolute. Shooters using an SFP this way don't mathematically convert holds because it's not required. They apply their holds against the reticle at twice its value. My...

    Comp Equipment Questions

    Jim, You are aware that you can use an SFP scope effectively at magnification levels other than the maximum right? I really don't see how a stage like this is impossible or even slightly more difficult by using an SFP scope. We run stages like this ALL the time that incorporate targets...
