    Biathalon Sling users?

    Re: Biathalon Sling users? I did that review in January of 2010 and I still have that sling and I use it all the time. It is a main stay on my AW300 and have thrown in on a a few other rifles just for ease of carry. When I carry a pack it is either a Kelty MAP or Spec Ops THE Pack and the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Question?

    Re: Question? Potterman, You live in WI. I have been there a few times and I know how freaking cold it is... All that cold weather means layers of clothing. I attend a ballistic seminar for work ever year or so and the 380 does not do well with "heavy" clothing. It penetrates but 10...

    mil to mil

    Re: mil to mil Kraig and Sterling, I guess the issue is you two are out of touch with todays sniper training. I keep hearing you relate back to the days of Accu-Range scopes and M1C/D... That is not what the discussion is about. Then you bring up ACOGs and irons... Again, way off topic...

    mil to mil

    Re: mil to mil Sterling, You are opening another can of worms and misinformation. Range in yards---- Size of target in inches multiplied by 27.77 (constant) divide by size in Mils. Range estimation is often a several part process. First visual estimation because it is the fastest, next a...

    mil to mil

    Re: mil to mil Sterling, I am serious, I have never heard of converting to inches for the purposes of correcting for wind in any sniper course. We are discussing mil mil in relationship to the role of the sniper or precision shooting. The topic of iron sight and SDM optics is a different...

    mil to mil

    Re: mil to mil Sterling, No one said anything about Palm pilots, GPS or any other technology aid. Further more no one even mentioned using a spotter. The topic is specifically about Mil/Mil vs the other options. The problem is you are relating everything to your High Power game. The...

    Military/ LE sniper competitions

    Re: Military/ LE sniper competitions LE/Mil comps have a different twist. Not all the time but the majority of the time the equipment, weapons, caliber and ammo are on a level playing field. Graham, everything is a skill set and anything can be a competition.

    HSGI Taco

    I am currently bouncing back and forth from assaulter to sniper. I love the idea of working so many areas but when it comes to my 1st and 2nd line kit it is a pain in the ass. I basically have two sets of body armor, a Maritime CIRAS and a Eagle Rhodesian Rig. The primary reason I run two...

    mil to mil

    Re: mil to mil I guess my confusion started when you said, "favor". I am more incline to "hold" and instruct people to "hold" for a specific value. To me, favoring leaves entirely too much gray area. When dealing with holding for a specific value in inches, using your example of 36...

    Re: mil to mil Sterling, this is why people get confused.... <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I'd rather find range in mils; but, I'd rather favor wind in MOA. For me, calculating wind favor using a constant of 10 is faster than a...

    Vertx

    Re: Vertx I have their jacket, shorts and pants. I really don't care for the pants or shorts. They really are not practical or comfortable. The jacket on the other hand is great.

    Gun Safe Moisture Problem

    Re: Gun Safe Moisture Problem My safes are in the basement also. I have found through trial and error that keeping them off the ground will help a lot. Basically I built a platform of treated 4x4 and plywood and bolted the safes to that. Additionally I use golden rods and the basement has...

    Load out bag?

    Re: Load out bag? I have an Eagle Alpha in OD I am about to post in the fore sale section. Let me know if you are interested. Back to the original post I have used the Hatch G5 as well and the Blackhawk SCBA bag. Both sucked. The SCBA appeared over built but it still fell apart. The...

    EoTech VS Elcan

    Re: EoTech VS Elcan I own an Elcan 1-4 and 1.5-6, I have also owned two Eotechs. My instructing experience also keeps me in close contact with both products. Personally I prefer the 1-4 Elcan over the Eotech for numerous reasons. Primarily though, I have witnessed and experienced numerous...
