Re: Large padded shooting mat??
Went to camping supply store and bought a self inflating mat for a rifle course I took. Rolls up in the end. Without weight on it, think it was 2" thick. If you wanted more firmness, you could blow it up more.
Re: 1mile with .308 6x's ---- real?
Fella up here is having a fun shoot where 308s will be shot to 1760 yards. Will be targets closer. Target will be steel painted orange. Maybe 3' wide x 5' tall.
This guy has been using a Savage F/TR with factory barrel. Trying 155s right up to 210...
Re: Savage break-in barrel
FWIW......
I have done barrel break in in my last 4 target rifles.
Fire one shot and clean. Tried to do this for the first 20 rounds. Sometimes I've gotten to 15 ish rounds and said "to heck with it" andjust started shooting.
Does it make a differnce? Who...
Re: Shooter Ballistics app now for iPhone
Isnipe is a super program. On my other forum, a member had Shooter and Isnipe. He prefered Isnipe.
For $5.99 it might be worth a try. For all the good reviews that Shooter was getting around here I was gonna try it. Now not so sure......
Re: Reactor Watch's
I just bought one today. Fella was in the store at the time said he had 3 Reactors and said he was almost abusive with one. No problems so far.
Apaprently the guy who started Freestyle watches designed and created Reactor.
Re: Shooter Ballistics app now for iPhone
Love Isnipe. Haven't used the range estimator part as I shoot at known distances.
Bullet Flight seems to complicated and regret spending the $30 on it.
Re: Which Kestrel?
I bought a 4500 with Blue Tooth. Need to find the time to read the manual.
Also use Isnipe on my Iphone. Love the program. Bought Bullet Flight and never used it. Seems too complicated
Re: Shooter Ballistics app now for iPhone
What would be the chance of making a PC version of this? Where you could set up your program to ones own liking. Input data and then load into your Iphone, Ipad etc?
Re: Steel Target Size
I have a 4", 10" and 15" steel gong. 24x24" plate. And a terroist target that might be 18" wide by 30" tall with a head on it.
My thought is start big and then go smaller as your skills/equipment improves. Or move bigger plates out further.
Re: Increased action torque = increased accuracy?
Read on the net (yeah, I know.......) that consistancy is more critical then the torque value. Both front and back are the same torque spec.
FWIW........
Re: USMC Reserve shot, hunter thought he was a bear
Simple test......
Ask anyone to guestimate a distance. See what they say.
Friend asked a guy at the club how far he thought it was to the end of the range. Guy guessed 450 yards. Keeping in mind that right over his head it said 200...
Re: USMC Reserve shot, hunter thought he was a bear
My long range shooting area is in a popular area for hunting. I had to walk down to check my target. During hunting season I wear a "road construction" vest. I know I shouldn't have to. But who's gonna loose if I get shot?
The hunter...
