    How can I tell if I hit a steel target 800-1000yds away?

    Provided your eye stays on the target, you can watch holes appear at 100 yards. There wasn't a hole, and then there was, so you watched it appear. What is impossible is to observe the process of the bullet making the hole. Your eyes and brain work like a video camera in that your brain records...

    Maggie’s Favorite restaurant?

    El Fenix. Got a cheeseburger and it was like they buy patties that are about to go bad from school cafeterias. Went an hour-and-a-half without a refill, and finally got one after the bill came out (waiter was hoping to increase his tip I'm guessing). Lastly there was a roach running around the...

    Maggie’s Favorite restaurant?

    I went to Del Frisco's... Only to find out I was supposed to have gone to El Fenix. It was not great.

    Good read. Reminds me of an army guerilla warfare manual.

    Wouldn't buy from Shooter_308 again

    I bought a die set from him, sending paypal immediately. Two days later he said he was sending it. At four days he again said he was sending it. At eight days I asked to confirm he had sent it. At nine days he said he had sent it that day. At ten days it actually got sent. TEN DAYS after payment...

    Suppressors Why use a suppressor?

    Apparently making a joke about the game Rainbow 6. Never played it. But I've played more than my fair share of MW2!

    Long time lurker... first time posting

    Welcome from Texas! What part of South Texas? I've spent 10 years on the Gulf and 11 in DFW. I'm pretty new here myself, but this place can get addicting. And it will make you want to spend money! Thanks fo your service. My sister was Navy out of Norfolk. USS Dwight D Eisenhower. But she's a...

    Night Vision So I went coyote hunting with a pistol....

    The biggest use my pistol sees when hunting is while riding the 4-wheeler. I place my 6.8 SPC P415 in a rack on the front for riding. If I come up on a hog or rabbit or whatever, I'll slam on the brakes and get off of it (sometimes before it stops moving) while drawing my 1911. The rifle would...

    Brass prep for longrange

    I went to check the price on that AMP and every time I searched for it the forum would send me to a paypal "donate to accurateshooter" page, where it said the minimum donation was a dollar!:ROFLMAO:

    Rifle Scopes Last day of the SWFA sale - talk me out of that new ultralight

    That stinks. I can undertand your hesitancy to deal with them again. It is odd that they charged return shipping on a defective item.

    Suppressors Why use a suppressor?

    I was just looking at the TBAC ultra 9, which seems to have the most recommendations on the hide, and it says it reduces a .308 to about 132db. That is FAR above safe levels for continued exposure. As for recoil, a well-designed brake will outperform a well-designed suppressor simply because a...

    Suppressors Why use a suppressor?

    I was not thinking about squad shooting. I have not done that yet. I can see how you would be more popular with a suppressor! I certainly see a use for one in hunting. That's just not the context I was concerned with. I have one for my 6.8 spc, and it's nice for hunting, but I would rather...

    Suppressors Why use a suppressor?

    Just wondering why many guys use suppressors for competition. I get that they are cool, and in a combat situation they can help make it a little harder to locate where the sound originated. But shooting supersonic, the sound is still loud enough to cause hearing damage so you are going to be...

    Advanced Marksmanship Over coming heat at matchs or atleast dealing with it

    They did not just change their discount program. They said they would no longer do business with the NRA. It only makes sense that the NRA (us) should no longer do business with them.

    Rifle Scopes Last day of the SWFA sale - talk me out of that new ultralight

    What makes you think SWFA knew the Burris was defective? I live very close to them. I've stopped in a couple of times, but have not bought anything (pretty small retail store that is 1/10th of the building). The retail guys seem friendly and knowledgable though.
