    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    I put a Timney in my M70. Works just fine. Have it set to about a pound. It isn't a Trigger Tech but works fine and is very consistent. Only gripe was it took some fitting that I was not expecting to need to do.

    Do you drink anything while shooting?

    probably a couple gallons or more. The last episode on the range in those very hot & humid range conditions was in 2014 so don't quote me on the exact quantities. But that was the last time my body said don't do this anymore and I listened.

    Do you drink anything while shooting?

    Combination of very hot temps, high humidity, too much fluid intake and likely pre-existing conditions which ultimately led to me quitting the game. But the more I tried to stay hydrated the more my body revolted. Not at all conducive to a fun day on the range. You a doc?

    Do you drink anything while shooting?

    This I know. I no longer put myself in those situations. I'm too old for such silliness. Seriously, much of the symptoms you illustrate are what I experienced. Not conducive to performing at the highest level at a National event. Getting old sucks.

    Do you drink anything while shooting?

    While at Camp Perry I used to drink lots of Gatorade, that is until I drank too much and it made me rather unpleasantly ill. Then I drank nothing but water..... until I drank too much and it made me ill. The combo, for me was to water down the Gatorade to about 50-50. That seemed to be what kept...

    NICS delay

    I am a retired State Trooper, and I get delayed. Even while I was active duty I got delayed. I used to personally know a couple guys in the firearms services bureau and it didn't matter a bit. I learned to just go with the flow. Isn't worth the grief.

    NICS checks out in free states

    In Illinois, yeah I know, we have to have a Firearms Owners Identification Card, foid, to purchase or possess a firearm or ammunition. Now we even have to go through a background check to purchase ammunition, any and all ammunition! The foid is run by the state daily for any disqualifying...

    Guess we will know in the morning? *update*

    My guess is that suppressors will remain illegal in Illinois in perpetuity. That is until the courts, as they did for concealed carry, impose a mandate. I will not hold my breath. SCOTUS just doesn't have the urgency.

    Optics Gone

    I don't understand why these scopes don't get more love. I really like mine. I don't care too much for the H59 reticle but this is still a pretty decent scope.

    Remember now, natural point of aim, accept your wobble area, press the trigger as the sight approaches the center of the target, and follow through...........

    Well gents……

    Been retired 17 years come July and it's hard to believe how quickly the time has gone. I cannot recommend not going to work every day highly enough. Congratulations on attaining a milestone many do not achieve.

    300 yard consistency

    Pardon, but I think your expectations are somewhat unrealistic at 300 yards with a .22LR.
