+1 Looking through history, warfare almost always rewards the opponent that can engage from farther away. The long bow, the rifle, missiles, IEDs, etc. Anyone owning firearms for use in any type of combat role needs to consider the best odds of victory are closely correlated to the farther...
A long range precision course wouldn't negate the effectiveness of a scout rifle but would definitely identify what works and what doesn't with it. There is no doubt it might be frustrating because it's not set up the same but setting expectations for a course would limit that. Taylor and...
As I was shooting that chaos drill last weekend, I was thinking to myself about this thread and how this reticle seemed perfect. Was that reticle picked up by any manufacturers? If not, what is the closest alternative?
After Action Notes: Live instructor corrections were big difference from YouTube videos. All the side conversation and information with personalized answers added time of value. Whole class getting together every night worth the trip alone. Glad I ran what I had and came to identify what works...
As a new shooter, I don't know what I don't know. For me, I am concerned with making the initial equipment purchases just to get into the sport. I don't have much money so I have a single general purpose rifle that I can use for hunting and getting into this sport. I am trying to balance so many...
Looking at the different attachment options between picatinny and arca, what are some experiences I should be aware of to influence which direction to go?
Mostly static range shooting to learn the craft. Maybe try a competition at some point but I'm not concerned with having competition solutions at the expense of the former. Do you have an example of a scenario that some feature was good/bad or could have made something better/worse? I keep...
Being new to precision shooting, I suffer from not knowing what I don't know about bipods. I've read a bunch of threads but they often contain recommendations for brands/models but I would like to know more about the WHY for any of these. What are the benefits of different bipod features? $3-600...
Knowing the article is already written - remember when you used to be happy with your performance compared to your own personal performance and not when we were so aware of others and keeping up with the Jones for equipment, skills, performance? I used to really like shooting until I knew how...
If a fixed power optic is ok for a lot of things, is a more narrow magnification range also just fine. Using 10 or 12x as a starting point, does a 6x range really offer much more than a 3x range for the majority of shooting 3x: 6-18 4x: 5-20 5x: 4-20 6x: 3-18 It seems that optics are regularly...
Only -1.0 which has improved to -0.5. I don't wear my contacts unless it's a bad day. I could get the reflex to work on those bad days but I had to really focus on the target instead of the sight, which is the idea of that aiming principal but I didn't like it as much as a prism.
My first deployment we had EOTechs and the batteries did die on me. Then we had Aimpoints which were fine. Next we had VCOG which I took off and ran irons because the VCOG just made it so clumsy. Next we had ACOGs which I liked. Then we ran Aimpoints again which I liked for CQB but outside 25y...
An infantryman is essentially living SHTF everyday and a short low fixed power optic that works without batteries has been working for a long time. I would only consider a RDS if I was assaulting/CQB >95% of the time. Even then, when assaulting, I don't find 4x to be a liability over 1x. At some...
What are the optical pros and cons of different scope construction variables such as: Power: does a 3x multiple (ie. 4-12x) maintain optical quality better than a 6x multiple (ie. 2-12x) if everything else is equal? Objective: How does objective size effect optical quality? Length: Does a...
