    Movie Theater Bradley Cooper's vow to American Sniper

    Anyone notice the shape of the rear of the bolt at 9sec? Then it changes to a normal rem shroud in the next scene. I know Cooper wants to do this right and Im sure there will be things that the viewing audience catches but Im hoping that they do a good job with this. There will be some...

    arduino / Raspberry PI anyone good with this stuff?

    He's looking to build a cheaper target hit indicator system like isis. Since that's would be primarily sensor i/o activity I'm guessing arduino would easily work best.

    Police Gain Access to Home Security Cameras

    As long as you can restrict it to specific cameras. I.e. cameras facing a street outside the home, I don't have a problem with it. If you are giving them 100% access, then that is an issue.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns For all you knife experts....

    Yeah they don't seem to care. You can find some pretty good prices too if you look around a bit. They seem to come in/out of stock a bit more randomly though.

    arduino / Raspberry PI anyone good with this stuff?

    The quick and easy way to think of their usage is as follows. Arduino - better for hardware interaction components. i.e. sensors, LEDs, etc -lightweight coding for interfacing PI - better for software driven solutions (i.e. mini computer) Coding will require knowing linux, python, etc. For...

    ELR Target hit indicator: NEED INPUT

    I say have the plans for a bare bones and bells and whisltes options. I agree, Im a Computer engineer by degree with a minor in Electrical so knowing that I could do most of the work for a fraction of the cost is what keeps me from buying most things. The other side of it is time. I hardly have...

    Just to help clarify, Tom was not building his own rifles at the time when he was competing in BR. Tom just started his rifle building business in the last 2-3 years.

    High End Spotting Scope Recommendation

    If money is no object. Spotter 45 or 60 for sure. Ive looked through a NF TS-82 side by side with a spotter 60 and the TS-82 was super impressive on the comparison. It does not have a ranging reticle though.

    New from Ohio

    I live just south of Grove City. Other than private land your only real options are Thunder Valley and Rayners. Im fortunate that once the crops come down I have 825yards off my deck and can get further if I want to shoot at a different angle in the field behind the house. Just waiting for the...

    LRF's....what's next?

    Ive used these and was not impressed at all. I did hear they upgraded them since the once I played with at the cup but like I said. I was not impressed. Slow, Heavy and did not range as they claim.

    Advanced Marksmanship Up HIll - Down HIll: Yes, once again!

    I think we are both right in a way just saying it differently. 1. drop and wind holds are based on time of flight I think we can all agree with that distance is just what we use as a reference. If I shoot at a target straight up 1000 yards away my drop is zero and yes my wind will be for the 1k...

    Advanced Marksmanship Up HIll - Down HIll: Yes, once again!

    No. The flight time for up hill or down hill is the same as long as the angle is the same. But if you lrf an shot uphill it reads longer than the straight line distance.
