    So another thread makes me ask this ?

    I post on here occasionally about cold weather shooting, and never get a response. Like you Gunfighter I can't help myself, always training. I don't know for what, but I do know I'm too damn old to fire and maneuver. If the occasion demands I'll pick a FPL and fire. Where I live it is cold a...

    Lets argue about the M24

    That was a good article from the Infantry museum . SFC William Knox, the first NCOIC of the Army sniper school after Viet Nam was a friend of mine. I did an obit for him on this forum. He was a good man.

    Lets argue about the M24

    I know the guy who was the action officer on the M24, LTC Nate Miller USA Retired. That means he specked the rifle. He wanted to chamber it in 300 Win Mag. The Army would not let him. The round was not "proven" they told him. He knew that sooner or later the Army would see the light, he used the...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting and Fishing in Hawaii

    Given some luck you can find a local guide to take you pig hunting. Don't need a gun. They use dogs and a big knife. There are also goat and fallow deer, but opportunities are very limited. I hunted fallow deer on Lanai, the season was one day long. Deep sea fishing would be my recommendation...

    Looks like a bad idea to me.

    Fieldcraft Defeat thermals

    Blending into the back round here is easy. Dig into the snow, then cover with something like a space blanket. One could also put out some decoys, say MRE heaters or those air activated pocket warmers. Those were some of my ideas. Never having worked with thermals, I don't know their range or how...

    Fieldcraft 72 Hours with a Quart Ziplock or HPG Kit Bag

    You need to stay warm, dry and hydrated. The rest is extra. Quality rain gear, and warm when wet snivel gear. That and a gallon of water, and you'll be alive 72 hours latter.

    Fieldcraft Defeat thermals

    What are your technics to defeat thermal optics? I have known guys who used a space blanket, and said it worked. I sewed a white sheet on the non reflective side of it, to help them hide in the snow. What have you tried, and how did it work?

    In need of a new range finder

    My Swarovski range finder fogged up last moose season. I contacted the company, it is too old for them to service. "Think of all of the good years you had with it" they advised. I think of the $1500 I gave for it used! I am a Cheap Charlie, but I know you get what you pay for in glass, and am...

    Maggie’s First NCOIC of the US Army Sniper school dead at 78

    SFC (retired) William W. Knox II was the first NCOIC of the US Army Sniper school at Ft. Benning Ga. He died on 10 December 2021 in Idaho. There was not much of an obituary in the local paper, just that he lived from 1943 until 2021. He deserves more, so this is my attempt. Billy was...

    7000 grains in a pound 7000/140=50 rounds to a pound of powder. $25.00 a pound comes out to $.50 per shot. just in powder. 500 grain bullets eat up a pound of lead pretty fast too. Ever consider a .223? Just teasing Buddy, I have the bug too. When you watch the shot thru a spotting scope, you...
