    Movie Theater Top Guns

    Re: Top Guns I like the fact that they talk a little more about the guns, but as in the show they re-use shots, then over use those shots. And half of them are from a different gun. They are probably desperate to fill up air time and don't care if anyone who knows about those guns can call...

    So I had some free time!

    Re: So I had some free time! The top looks like a shooting stick top, so you should be able to find those in plenty of places. Another good point to that setup is that it has the hook in the middle to add weight to in order to stabilize it when its fully extended. May or may not help for...

    Cutaway #6

    Re: Cutaway #6 Out of curiosity what size chute are you jumping? I was working my way down in sizes and was at 150 when I broke my hand and had to quit. Now I just need to get my money stash back together and get back into it. We had to put a 110 lb girl on a bigger canopy one time because...

    7.62x54R vs 1"steel

    Re: 7.62x54R vs 1"steel Brown Bear is 203g soft point. I'd be interested in seeing what steel core or even some of the heavy ball yellow tip ammo I have would do to steel that thick. I have hit tank armor with mine at 100 but it was just shrugged off. Now thats some tough metal.

    Movie Theater Act of Valor

    Re: Act of Valor I have yet to shoot anyone so I can't really make a call on it. Don't really see a need to go shooting people to find out either.

    Movie Theater Act of Valor

    Re: Act of Valor I would be Hollywood more than anything. I would also assume from a neutral standing position a person would be more likely to fall backwards when shot in the head if the legs relaxed. But thats just my take on it.

    seated box jumps

    Re: seated box jumps I've done plenty of boxes but thanks for the tip. I usually step down anyway, no need to put extra stress on my knees coming down in one jump from a decent height.

    seated box jumps

    Re: seated box jumps Nice. May have to try that at the beginning and end of my workout tomorrow and see how it goes. I'm a fan of boxes. They will get you winded quick doing hop up and down drills. Same for going up a whole set up bleachers at a big football stadium.

    Cutaway #6

    Re: Cutaway #6 Was a good canopy despite being all twisted up. Hard to kick out of a line twist when you are spinning in circles around yourself and falling fast. I've kicked out of one that was easy since the canopy stayed upright. But thats how most of them go.

    Cutaway #6

    Re: Cutaway #6 There are two handles on the shoulder straps. The handles are located just below your armpits. The right handle has what is basically weed eater cord that runs up through the rings on the shoulder straps that attaches the main canopy. If you pull that handle the cord comes with...

    Whats a clean powder for 45 and 9?

    Re: Whats a clean powder for 45 and 9? I run Bullseye and it burns clean enough for my liking in both 9mm an d.45. Try to find some HP38 if you like soft rounds. In .45 HP38 gives some killer soft rounds that shoot really well. I couldn't believe how soft they shot when I tried some. HP38 is...

    Backpacking anyone?

    Re: Backpacking anyone? Also, don't forge to take a camera and some binos if you are in a good area. There is plenty to see once you stop and take a break for 15 minutes and just observe.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Full size 1911.... In 9mm? Your thoughts?

    Re: Full size 1911.... In 9mm? Your thoughts? If you reload your own ammo, I can load .45 for the same or less per 100 as 9mm costs and its got less recoil.

    Maggie’s Scam Call: Free Cruise to Bahamas

    Re: Scam Call: Free Cruise to Bahamas One of the guys I know has handed the phone to his 4 year old and told him to tell the nice person on the phone about school that day. They usually hang up in 30 seconds flat.
