    How hard is it really to be accurate at 300-400 yards with an ar 15

    Ask SterlingShooter what you can do with an AR-15 and a sling. 600 yards iron sights prone w/ a sling and you can keep it within 12" fairly consistently. Then you get those 200-15x shooters that will keep it under 6" like a machine. "accurate" as far as most are concerned is well within the...

    Common core debate team...

    I agree with this idea, but how do you get so far off the beaten path that, even when being told you are doing well, you don't stop to question whether you should actually be debating the topic at hand? How does a debate on the use presidential wartime powers become an incoherent diatribe on...

    Common core debate team...

    I still am not getting it. This is real? As in, people actually judged it? HOW? I didn't understand anything that any of them said. How can you determine who won? What did they win? I'm lost. This makes me think of the article Richard Feynman wrote about sitting on a school board for...

    Common core debate team...

    This is satire, right? What does "common core style" mean? I'm sort of missing the point - it's supposed to make fun of the style of debates by portraying both sides as rambling and incoherent? I mean, it's sort of like they do on crossfire, where it's just raised voices with appeal to emotion...

    A different sort of query for you guys....

    My idea would be machinist school, definitely cnc. Then go find a nuke mfg'er like Westinghouse or B & and make good coin. Note, you cannot f up on anything you work on though.

    The Rolling Stones magazines educates us about guns.

    The guy who wrote the comment about the next article: "The 6 most 3-sided triangles" made me almost pee myself. I'm still laughing.

    "Enhanced"

    Bolt, take the following however you like, but I think you could use a recliner and a frosty beverage. Relax - there are always going to be people looking down on you for some reason or other in life. Having spent the last 10 years of my life on the bottom rung of the ladder because of age...

    House for sale with shooting range in moumtains of Virginia

    Haven't been that far down there, but been to Lynchburg more than a few times - nice place, and if you ride a motorcycle, they have a bunch of fun roads around there. Plus, NCBIKE and VIR are pretty close by for the racing-inclined. Best of luck to your folks, Zack.

    Carry On Bag HELP

    Are you asking about whether you should buy that bag? Depends entirely on if you want it and if it will hold what you want to bring. I usually over pack and more recently have been traveling with a single $10 gym bag which is half filled with medical crap I cannot live without.

    Interstate Driving Tips

    If you are in the lane closing down, go to the end and zipper merge. If you are in the open lane, zipper merge and quit trying to not let people in because otherwise you are the one slowing everything down.

    A drone's view of fireworks

    Nah, you only shoot at it if it's manned by a hobbyist.

    A drone's view of fireworks

    Yes, Andrea Bocelli. Woojos, that's the same music as "Por ti volare," right? Is it the same song in two diff languages? Am I missing something? ETA: yup, Con te partiro is Italian, Por ti volare is Spanish. As for the drone flight - I have my mission for the next 4th. I have a HAM study...

    Enlisting in the military???

    Coach, I am in the process of going back on active duty after about a year of being out. If you want, pm me and I can detail to you the extreme level of admin jackassery I have already had to deal with before even reporting in. 90% of your time gets wasted on the 10% of stuff that is least...

    The sound of $45 Million

    Thanks for the vid. Very good to see that out and about. Much prefer strings but I do really like the sound of the oboe. The other sound I tend to like is French horn. I regret not keeping with music. I plan on getting a piano when I finally have a house to settle down.

    Maggie’s Excessive force? Maybe? Maybe not?

    Ugh, is more federal oversight the answer? Let's just set up federal oversight for every police precinct, wouldn't that be better? Sounds ineffective. There has seriously got to be a better way to skin this cat. There's arguably a lot of material out there to show where police have made...

    The sound of $45 Million

    Love it. Every once in a blue moon, there will be someone playing a string instrument well near the metro I use for work. It's wonderful to stop and listen just for a while. And sometimes, I wonder about whether I will ever get a Joshua Bell moment: Stop and Hear the Music - Stradivarius...

    The Right to Shoot at Pilots

    I think the situation was probably more confrontational and the paraglider pilot may have antagonized the homeowner that time or in the past; however when we start justifying shooting at or around someone, especially when it's based on perceived insult/baiting, we can create some very...

    The Right to Shoot at Pilots

    Kind of disturbing to think that this action is seen as well and good by the homeowner. Maybe I'm biased, but in skydiving, there is a chance of a mishap leading you to land on somebody's property, which was not the initial intention. If you have a problematic cutaway putting you lower than...

    Bullshit of the highest level.

    If the article is anywhere accurate, CPS removed the child from the mother's house (why? was this legitimate, or CPS creating a problem from an assumption?). The child is now living with father and step-mother, so when dad is deployed, step-mother is still around taking care of her. Ok, well...
