Not sure what they are actually using but I'm going to try a bag filled with Fairfield Poly-Fil Micro Beads. Ordered a 20 ounce bag that will fill 1/2 cubic foot.
Besides Hurricane Lake you can also look at Bear Lake and Krul Lake. Both of those are 5-7 miles further from the range but still within 15 mins. All 3 of the places are first come first serve and with it being Labor Day weekend they will probably feel up fast. I'm planning on pulling the popup...
Take a look at an Amphipod Hydraform Handheld bottle. I picked one up for my first marathon training. The strap allows you to carry it without having to hold the bottle. You can let your hand relax and the bottle is always there. It made my long runs a lot more enjoyable. I always stayed with...
Take your easy runs easy and slowly build your weekly mileage up to avoid injuries. After 6 weeks find you a local 5k or 10k for a test run to see where your fitness is. That should help you target the proper pace for your training runs. My easy long runs were 2-2:30 mins slower than my race...
Re: Running help please
I'll second and third the recommendations of continue what you're doing and speed is the last thing you need to worry about. Long easy runs will help you more than anything else.
Last year I started 2011 running 20 miles a week and running 2-3 hard runs a week. Got...
Re: Input pls - Runners using a gps watch
Take a look at http://www.dcrainmaker.com/ he has reviewed most of the popular watches on the market with a couple accuracy test done on the watches. I almost pulled the trigger on a watch but couldn't justify it as long as I could use mapmyrun for...
Re: Entry Level Equipment: spotting scope, base, rings
I'll second the praise for the Konus 80. I picked one up on craigslist for half of retail and it was practically brand new. Not as nice as the highend stuff but plenty good enough to get started with.
As far as a rifle and setup. I got a...
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge - 28 July
I was able to confirm zero at the last match in May. Pretty sure you have from 7:00-7:45 to get it done while everyone is signing in.
Re: Big Brother Bitches
For the coaches I'd list them as Boogie, Janelle, Dan with Brittney a distant last place for game skills.
Can Ian be any goofier? Either way its some entertaining tv for the summer.
Re: 6.5 creedmoor velocity loss?
I've got a Stevens action and a 23" Benchmark Barrel thats been melonited. The guy I bought it from said it'll do 2830 with factory Hornady 140 amax. I don't have a chrono but so far shooting it the numbers seem to be holding true.
Re: Best Spotting Scope for @ $300
Take a look at Konus. I just picked up a Konuspot 80 off of Craigslist for $125. I think they retail around $225. Haven't had a chance to take it to the range but it looks good so far.
Re: Base for Savage 93R17

Re: AR15's and ammo drying again up?
I figured this was going to happen with the election coming up but didn't think it would start until Aug or so. I think all of the of the Doomsday shows are the biggest reason right now. I know my brother in law read Patriots and decided it was time to get...
Re: Bayed Coyote.
Those your hounds? An outside race, brings back memories from some fun nights getting after fox down here. Outside races always had a different sound to them.
