    shooting books?

    Honestly though, books and videos will only get you so far. I'd look at taking a long range shooting 101 type course in your area. Or join a club or show up to a LR shooting match and network a little bit.

    Suppressor = Filthy failing AR-15

    Suppressors, by nature of their design, are going to trap a lot more gas and carbon and contain it in the weapon system. There is no way around that part. Consistent maintenance, good lubrication, and quality parts will help. A heavier buffer might help too. How many rounds do you typically...

    You’re gonna call out Aero Precision but say nothing about Tacfire Handguards?

    Would be awesome to get a chance to get a return M110

    I used the M110 in the Army and I actually liked it. It was a great weapon system that was a solid performer. There were a few guys that stuck with the bolt gun, old habits die hard. I figured if they were going to give me an upgraded weapon system to use, I might as well give it a chance. I...

    Lr-308 handgaurd

    Aero Precision has some simple handguards that are top of the line and affordable. The M5 line is for .308, I have the 5.56 version on an SPR build and I really like it.

    Light boots for 18 hour days .

    I wear Danner Tachyon boots, 12 hour shift as a LEO. They work great for everything, lightweight, comfortable. I put Superfeet Green insoles in them and they are good to go. You can get them with a thin layer of gortex if you need it. Downside is that they are not warm. I wear thicker socks...

    Beginner Help

    https://loadoutroom.com/42292/watch-defeat-threats-violent-nomad-workout/ I like this format, have used this mentality for years. It isn't restricted to a gym or certain equipment. I used it overseas on COPs and Patrol Bases where space and equipment was limited. Its also fun and doesn't...

    Fieldcraft Which eberlestock to buy...

    I own the Halftrack, used it pretty extensively domestically and overseas. You can add the rifle scabbard to pretty much any of their packs. I've used Mystery Ranch bags too, they are another solid buy. Both packs will last you a life time and worth the investment.

    Advanced Marksmanship Dry firing

    I dry fire pistol more than anything else, I carry one for work every day and for our qual we have to make some fairly challenging shots. I have a setup in the garage with markers for 3yds, 5yd,s and 7 yds. For rifle, I primarily do it from the prone working on the basic fundamentals. I...

    Churlish childishness causes chopping at Chuck-e-cheese

    I don't know if you've been to Chuck-e-Cheese lately...but the clientele has gone downhill since the days of innocence I remember as a kid.

    Incentive for my boys

    I feel your pain. Our kids are inundated with technology and its easy to just let them veg out watching TV or playing video games. The outdoors is quickly becoming a dying sport.

    Any reviews of TiborasaurusRex's YouTube Vids?

    To truly master something, you have to be able learn something from everyone, regardless of your skill level. A closed mind is the biggest obstacle to progress in any discipline. He may not be your cup of tea, but there is someone out there who has improved by watching his videos. I've been...

    The Laughing Swamp ... FOX Live at Rev. Graham's Ceremony Under the Rotunda

    They have no honor or respect, not even for eachother. It seems they would out their own mothers to further their agenda. You spend too much time in the swamp, you begin to look like the "swamp thing". If Steve Irwin hadn't died we could have elected him as president. He had a lot of...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Riflescope Warranty Service

    I get the argument that its better to make a product that doesn't need customer service, and the very high end optocs typically have that. However, for those people with a lower budget ceiling, knowing that your stuff will get fixed is a good thing. I have had middle of the road SWFA...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Is match pistol ammo actually worth it?

    My department uses Federal American Eagle as practice ammo for both rifle and pistol. The stuff works great for being a middle of the road ammunition (decent quality). We use Speer Gold Dot as duty ammo. I cannot tell a difference in the pistol at 3-25yds (our qual distances), but I can tell...

    Recommend me a .308 BCG

    I have used Aero Precision and Ballistic Advantage (basically the same company, same ownership). I've also used Odin Works, factory Bushamster, BCM, and generic no brand BCGs. Honestly, never really had an issue with any of them. However, for a precision rifle, I would stick with one of the...
