    Precision Rifle Gear Large Game Changer Bag for Hunting, which fill?

    I have 2 OG's, a Schmedium, and a Pint Size, and more Wiebad Fortune Cookies in 4 different sizes. The OG's are bigger than I want for anything, and I personally don't really get along as well with the Schmedium as I do with the Pint Size or the MFC's (similar size to the Pint Size, smaller than...

    Precision Rifle Gear Chronograph Testing: Gun Mount vs. Static

    I have a LOT of data out there, and a lot more coming, which illustrates differentiation in the readings between some of these units. For example - without intending to distract from the purpose of this specific thread about the mounted vs. static influence on velocity reading - here are a few...

    Precision Rifle Gear Large Game Changer Bag for Hunting, which fill?

    I carry an MFC in cordura (wish it was waxed canvas) with polypropylene pellet fill (wish it was spexlite). I do have a spexlite filled, waxed canvas OG, but I don't really think I'd want to carry the extra bulk - it carries like it's twice as big as the MFC, and generally just isn't THAT much...

    Precision Rifle Gear Chronograph Testing: Gun Mount vs. Static

    TLDR Version: This is one installment of several experiments I'm doing with various chronograph models, specifically testing the difference in velocity readings when mounting the chronographs to the rifle vs. mounting on a static fixture beside the gun, such as the supplied tripods. The...

    Info on weibad bags

    The Tater Tot is a Mini Fortune Cookie which is wider. Same side panels, but wider body strip. It wraps up and around the stock a little more than the MFC when laying mouth down, and the TT offers a little taller height to fill obstacle gaps a little more than the MFC. Personally, I carry a...

    Garmin Xero C1 Case?

    I use the Evergreen/Seahorse #56 with pluck n' pull foam, it fits my arca mount, the unit, tripod, card style battery pack, and charging cable. Same unit Scheels sells. Same case fits the Athlon Velocity Pro. The #57 model is an inch deeper and fits the LabRadar LX with the same accoutrements...

    Precision Rifle Gear Accutac WB-4 vs Atlas bt10 for prone shooting

    What can be done is a wider discussion than what is best. We can shoot prone from any bipod which is sufficiently strong to support the rifle - BUT - when we look at evidence to promote which bipods are defensibly better than others, the Accu-tac runs away from the Atlas. The WB-4, WB-5, and...

    ELR/PRS Sight in

    Did you happen to notice the title of the thread…? and the title of the sub-forum we’re in…? Sure seems strange the OP titled the thread “ELR/PRS sight in” if they weren’t asking about ELR/PRS…

    PRS Talk Dual Prs rifles? Same? Different?

    I’m an enforcer in the Midpack Mafia, #leftedge4lyf, so what I might do if I were a top end shooter vs. what I do now might be different. I have 3 PRS rifles and a 4th half done now, and have swapped around a few optics, stocks, chassis’, and triggers among all of them, and can shoot the same...

    ELR/PRS Sight in

    What I would state as overwhelmingly important in this consideration - expanding upon the “calibration” explication above - is the simple fact that every ELR range and PRS range hosting matches will offer a 100 yard range for zero confirmation and/or measuring elevation offset. So choosing a...

    ELR/PRS Sight in

    MPBR is an absolute waste of time and energy for an ELR or PRS rifle.

    Do you drink anything while shooting?

    I use Liquid IV electrolyte packs and MtnOps caffeine packs in bottled water pretty often - mostly just water. I do occasionally drink an energy drink as a guilty pleasure before matches - I haven’t had a soda since 1996, and I’ve only had one cup of coffee in my life in 1994 - but a little...

    Precision Rifle Gear Best Leofoto tripod for NRL/PRS?

    I have 3 Leofoto tripods: LN-364c, Ranger LS-365c, and SO-362cx. I use the compact LS-365c for hunting, and my son carries it for PRS matches because it can slip into my pack easily if he gets tired of hauling it - but it’s largely too small and I don’t like ball heads as much as leveling bases...

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    My second unit won’t sync, even though it shows connected on both devices. Hasn’t been my favorite feature.

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    There is a factory reset option in the settings menu on the device, but a deeper level reset can be accomplished by initializing the Athlon Velocity Pro past the preview screens, then holding the power button for 10+ seconds - it will power down then power up again.

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    Is that viewing the firmware version on the device itself or on your app? 1.40.61.1 was issued 2wks ago - but the device will only show “1.40.61” even when the app shows the updated “1.40.61.1”.

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    Which firmware version are you running? In my first 2 days operating 2 different Athlons independently as well as together, I was seeing ~20fps high offset compared to 2 Garmins and an LX. Upon calling Athlon the next day, they mentioned that doing a "hard reset" would likely fix that issue...

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    By and large, with 2-3fps spread between units, determining truth with the equipment I currently have available just isn't a reality - even firing a truing test at distance, I'm quite confident I'm not sufficiently skilled to determine on target a difference in velocity of less than 2fps. As I...

    ELR/PRS Sight in

    PRS and ELR matches ALL have zero boards set up at 100yrds. EVERYONE uses a 100yrd zero - many ELR shooters will have an elevation offset in their zero, but the zero is still considered to be 100yrds + the offset. Any opposing advice is not from someone who is actually competing.
