    Suppressors Gem-Tech Suppressors

    Re: Gem-Tech Suppressors I went with a Sandstorm. I can shoot it on my AR, .308, 7WSM, and 300 BLK (soon, hopefully). The company has been around for quite a few years, and I assumed that experience would keep them around for quite a few more. I was looking at Shark and Thunderbeast...

    Hunting & Fishing Rookie hog hunter light question

    Re: Rookie hog hunter light question I found a ton of info in the link below. One tip they say which seems to make sense is to (regardless of light color) point the light skyward when turning it on. Then slowly bring the light down on the animal. link

    Hunting & Fishing 6.5 cm vs 308 for hunting.....

    Re: 6.5 cm vs 308 for hunting..... 6.5 CM is a great Whitetail round. Dropped a doe at around 500 yds this fall with one. She didn't take a step.

    Have we hit the wall?

    Re: Have we hit the wall? Does anyone know how to send a bitchslap using UBBCode? I'm tired of having to sift through the bickering to get anything meaningful out of these threads. That 2 shot group did make me chuckle, though. Thanks to Bryan Litz for one of the few informative posts.

    Hunting & Fishing check it out ethic patrol......

    Re: check it out ethic patrol...... I have nothing wrong with these types of shots when taken by the right person. But 3 shots to make one kill isn't really the best display of a hunter's skill. VIDEO

    Suppressors All you guys with Cans

    Re: All you guys with Cans I'll shoot Magnums without a can at long range sessions because I have a Fat Bastard. I'll accept the added noise, since I wear double hearing protection and recoil reduction with the brake is better. My smaller calibers are always suppressed.

    Re: Using Core Lokt for PA whitetail this year I took my first few whitetails several years back with the 150 grain Core Lokt. They all performed well for me.

    Re: rimfire traner scope? I went with this Weaver Tactical Grand Slam and I'm pretty happy. But I don't mind switching between reticles.

    Maggie’s Too old for the military

    Re: Too old for the military Bowman, training any military aviator requires a sizable investment. The government requires a return on that investment. 35 is not old, but the hard truth is that as we age things are more likely to function incorrectly or break. Aviation Medicine is pretty...

    Hunting & Fishing Need Bow Advice

    Re: Need Bow Advice Sounds like you're getting some great advice. Here's a training technique that I like to use. If you aren't practicing from a chair or stand, try standing with your feet together. It affords you less balance and simulates field conditions where you might not have the...

    Re: Need Bow Advice Jig, Great choices! I have the same setup you're considering, and I've been really happy. If I had to set up a new bow I wouldn't change a thing. The QAD functions flawlessly, and I really like a single-post sight. Some don't like having to possibly adjust the sight with...

    Suppressors Gemtech Sandstorm, it’s even better than I thought

    Re: Gemtech Sandstorm (400yd update) I'd heard that the weld was designed that way (i.e breakable), so the endcaps could be removed and internals accessed for repair. Not sure if it's true, however, this is the second time I've heard of the weld letting go on a Sandstorm. Obviously, the weld...

    Re: My take on the Ultimate Long Range Hunting Rig! Take a look at the Vortex HS scope, as well. It's designed for long range hunting. I've never handled one, though. Just considering one for my hunting rig.

    Great problem with the H-S Precision rifle.

    Re: Great problem with the H-S Precision rifle. Finally. Thanks, Terry. Too many amateur metallurgists and CSI wannabes in this thread. If you can't tell the difference between a failure induced by torsional stress vice compressive just by looking at the pic, then you are not an expert...
