    Why we can't have nice things,

    I’m not sure your replying to my comment “not just internet typers as some might claim.” My point is that I’ve shot matches with a lot of these guys that are offering constructive ideas and not just boots or keyboard heroes because they are on the Hide. I think that validates to some degree...

    Why we can't have nice things,

    Some of my buddies texted me this thread. I see more than just a sprinkling of hide guys I’ve shot matches with over the years. Hell even our MD at the local PRS matches @Swoodhouse19 is on the thread. I know guys like him invest a shit ton of their own money to get these matches going. Hell I...

    Questions regarding suppressed POI shift

    It's not weird at all to have a brake, tuner, Magnetos speed, or can to impact higher than your naked barrel.

    Garmin AB watch

    Ya, that's how the Garmin install works. you have to unplug to get it to load the new maps and firmware. Then the first time you press the start-stop button it should display the new firmware version. Holy smokes, this is a great addition to the watch! Once multiple profiles are loaded, go to...

    Help needed on Proof barrel

    New Proofs should look like the two below; not turned further and have been threaded. The blank may never have been used but is an old vintage.

    two Kestrel questions, 5700 E/AB +Link

    Ok, let restate what you said in a simpler way. instead of using Death Valley and Everest. 1. you have a DA delta of only 2,000' 2. you said you need .1mil or .36" to reestablish our zero. I gave you an example of over 12,500' DA delta with less drop differential than you can adjust for. I...

    two Kestrel questions, 5700 E/AB +Link

    This offset has more to do with your clothing or you, than the DA. Turn off Aj etc.. I'll print out a 110-degree swing at 100 yards, using the muzzle as pure muzzle drop. ie zeroed at the muzzle. The delta is rounded so it's less than <0.1" which's still a single bullet hole hardly detectable...

    Advanced Marksmanship Tips & Tricks, from Tripods to Stage Examples for - UKD Team Field Match or Hunting

    @KnowNothing256 PM'd me about a post in the thread where I was told or thought I was told, the shooter rented his RRS for $25 for the week. I searched and did not find an RRS rental that cheap; I did see a week for $72, and off-brands for as low as $25 a week; but never heard of the place. I...

    Looking for a place to shoot over 1500 yards in NorCal

    I've shot Panoche and Tumey ELR for a long time, but it is one of my least favorite ELR spots. While you can find many long-range shots to and past 2K; truth be told, there are not many spots where you can safely set up a range to truly tune the drop. The value in having a 100y zero, 600y...

    Help with first tripod (manfrotto vs leofoto)

    Yep, I remember that's the entire point. This learning to shoot off this old crap before you can shoot good stuff just doesn't make sense with the cost of ammo, time away from work and barrel ware $$. It's almost like some people want to prove how hard it used to be. Again, I've used the 055...

    Help with first tripod (manfrotto vs leofoto)

    If you're on mobile you might not see the signatures. This is an old thread, but a good recap. If high-angle under time pressure, is not something you're dealing with and pack diameter is of no concern. Then it is very hard to beat the RRS TA-3 for stability to weight on either the Feilso 3372...

    Help with first tripod (manfrotto vs leofoto)

    Weight is a huge deal, depending on what you’re doing. Heck there was a flurry of guys running out and buying that 8lbs Innorel. Yep stable as hell, but a PITA away from your car. Seems that particular flurry has died. That said the Feisol is very light and the tripod you mentioned is in the...

    Help with first tripod (manfrotto vs leofoto)

    Interesting you say that. They are nice for sure. You do need to get the 343L or Long version to use for n most people with binos all day. That’s just a couple inches shorter than the RRS 33 and a about a 1/4lbs heavier. It feel like a RRS with the Versa Apex, but they both don’t benefit from...

    New tripod. Two Vets or Field Optics Research?

    The plea weigh 10oz each? That’s not light for poles but seems strange that the legs are then under 2lbs and the apex and leveling is now 56oz? MIs 20oz with the grips, straps, baskets and spikes? again not bashing on the tripod; just the idea this is a great idea to use as ski poles or long...

    New tripod. Two Vets or Field Optics Research?

    Any reason you don't mount your tripod closer to the mag well for more stability? Other than shooting prone/high prone with a solid rear bag, it's defiantly less stable. It seems cute that the legs "can be used" for poles, but man, that so crowbarring in a feature that makes for very poor...

    New tripod. Two Vets or Field Optics Research?

    We'll i'm not going to try to talk you out of anything. But I will say some of the features your listing as attributes are NOT something I'd want on any western hunt. Apex locks seem great but are very hard to move the tripod quickly and quietly in the brush. Even the RRS Apex locks should be...

    I swear to GOD we need a "STUPID" badge! Once earned, you'd need 50 new like to get downgraded to a WAS STUPID Another 50 likes and you get WAS STUPID removed #1 qualifier is coming on the hide asking a question but instead delivering a pompous statement with a point to prove that is wrong...

    Kraft Data Driven Training: Try This

    Here is why I said early on, this drill should morph for many shooters to include separate targets. With a single target, you lose essential data trends for many shooters. So let me start by saying that I didn't perform the Kraft test as outlined. I did a similar drill I've been doing for...
