    Kestrel Wind Direction Setting

    Portable shooting stands - anybody use them?

    Portable Bench Rests

    Anyone have a commercial or other portable bench for shooting. Something that can be easily transported, quickly assembled and dissembled, etc. yet somewhat steady. Drive my truck and set up at 50 yard increments out to 600 yards. Prone is not conducive at the location. I have used hog...

    Suppressor = Filthy failing AR-15

    It seems it is not the round count but the time in days between cleaning. Typically I run maybe 100 rounds through the upper and next time I go to shoot it maybe a month later, it is getting gummy / gritty when closing the bolt.

    On-Line Precision Rifle Training Video Series from JC Steel Targets

    You received a set of cd's? I thought it was an on-line type delivery system from their web-site. What is the total length of the entire program of 55 videos? How much of the video series is taken up by barricade and competitive type stuff vs. basic form and techniques regardless of position...

    Ballistic Calculator for Mil / Mil?

    All of my experience is with Nightforce scopes in second focal plane and MOA. I have been very successful using the Hornady Ballistic Calculator to get a starting dope chart which I then use as a guide and adjust the target turret drops to the actual shooting results. So I just got my first...

    Only experienced with second focal plane scopes, mostly NightForce, for my long range shooting. Have a scope on the way with the FFP Mill GAP reticle. Can anyone hook me up with a video, discussion, or tips on how to use this system for a novice to FFP, Mills, and this reticle, like myself?
