    Range Report Is this right? 2600fps 175 SMK?

    I'm at 2645fps based on 100 yard zero, 6200feet and 5.5...your going to need to shoot a couple different ranges to verify anyways.

    Range Report Is this right? 2600fps 175 SMK?

    Not really sure what you are trying to do. I ran your numbers in "shooter" and came up with 5.8mil to hit 708...5.5 mils for 655 yards....with a 100 yard zero

    Hunting & Fishing .223 vs .22-250 for coyote/deer/hog?

    I don't know if I would go much less than 22" with a 22-250. It would probably be hell on a can, even if you didn't use a can it would be painful without hearing protection. I really like the 22-250 case but I like it more with a fast twist so it can stabilize heavier/longer bullets instead of...

    Social experiment; my wife's stupid fucking shoes

    Sounds like you need a puppy.....shoes get picked up faster when something is eating them when your not in the room.

    Hunting & Fishing Maybe My Oxygen's Low and Trash Gives Me a Rash

    I'm not "from here"...I have lived in Wyoming for 6 years and absolutely love everything about it...EXCEPT some peoples disregard for the land. I grew up in Mid-Michigan and expect to see it there. Less than a month ago I found a new trash pile in the desert near an area I shoot and hunt...

    Hunting & Fishing Maybe My Oxygen's Low and Trash Gives Me a Rash

    I set up a nice little 2500 yard range on BLM a couple years ago, I put up a 30" steel plate, some plywood to staple targets onto, and built a portable shooting bench from construction site scraps. It took about a year for the neck beards to find the target butt and shoot all the 4x4 post full...

    Hunting & Fishing Thinned out a few Aoudad

    I'm not a head hunter...same reason I hunt doe antelope with pistols, bows, and iron sighted rifles...the hunt is more important to me than the animal that gets killed and ends the hunt. I would find something to do with the meat either way, just wondering what people do with it. One of my...

    Hunting & Fishing Thinned out a few Aoudad

    I don't know why but those animals have always interested me. Someday I would like to go after one. I have read that the meat is terrible and not worth feeding to a dog and the exact opposite that it is some of the best game meat out there. Do you do anything with the meat?

    Hunting & Fishing New hunting rifle idea

    Scope might be a touch big....the 56mm part I mean. My go to hunting rifle (for packing) is a Remington 700 Mountain in 280 with a Redfield 2-7x33 on top....which to me is a perfect combo of weight, power, and overall size. Although this year I have a Model 7 Kevlar in 308 with a straight 6x...

    Hunting & Fishing Got a 1200 yard prairie dog?

    If there is blood and its over 1200 yards I count it....longest for me this year is 856 yards so far with a 85gr Nosler Ballistic tip out of a 25-223 at 3000fps. I need to get out and break 1000 yards this year...its has been a while since I got a confirmed kill at over 1k. Nice shooting.

    Target size for 1 Mile/ spotting scope suggestion

    30" across the short flats....I use it for 1 mile +....my WSM swings it around on a 2100 yard hit so its fairly easy to spot for myself. If your shooting steel tap a balloon to the steel before you start shooting....any hit on the plate will splatter the bullet and pop the balloon. The...

    Maggie’s Your Other Hobbies?

    That one stayed up in the hills...I was to far from the truck and didn't have my pack frame. I brought this slab out that day. The wife takes all my bigger rocks and puts them in her flower beds.

    Hunting & Fishing Wyoming hunters! camo question

    I like Kings Camo Desert Shadow a lot.....mainly because it is comfortable. In the mountains And in the in the sage. Prairie Ghost and a green t-shirt works well also. I don't usually get to serious about camoing up unless I am bow hunting. I have found the backpack straps...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 20 brass bulge fix

    I have a gen 3 Glock 20....I load some pretty warm stuff in the factory barrel with no issues so far. Its my first Glock and was worried about the bulge but even top end loads isn't producing a bulge that is noticeable without a micrometer.....maybe I'm lucky?

    Anyone using Magnus Buzzcuts?.....thinking about trying them for the 2014 elk season. I have shot stingers out of my recurves and like them but have only killed small game with them.

I am really loving it, I shoot 3d indoor league and currently holding second place over all and leading the X counts. 60fps faster than my last bow with the same arrows....I killed...
