The Kestrel Killer?
Ya, sorry about that. Read on Revic vs Kestral ("Kestral Killer") which got to general wind, and "wind meter killer" concept of doing math in your head...and next thing you know we're in BFE, way off topic I guess.- DirkDasterdly

The Kestrel Killer?
Nice. Looks very easy. I'm fairly new to most of this so I'm in "sponge mode". Shooting 6.5 140 or 147 so a 646 or 697 BC. So 6.5mph and 7mph ...within an acceptable margin of error. I just switched from MOA to Mil reticles. Good timing if I'm going to employ this system. Now, like...- DirkDasterdly

The Kestrel Killer?
That's surely easier...if you know the wind. Maybe the point of the original article I read on "square the distance" was if you either don't know the wind or can't judge it? Not sure. I think he did mention something like shots don't lie. So no matter what you think the wind is doing, shoot...- DirkDasterdly

Optics Planet and ITAR
Yep. Shop local when you can. Many dealers will try to compete on price, and with the sales tax unfairness thing going away, most local dealers would love to earn your business. OP is fine I guess, but it's like buying at Walmart. I'd hope that people would want to be part of a community and...- DirkDasterdly

The Kestrel Killer?
Here's a twist. And this may already be a known thing and I'm the last to be let in on the joke... I just read on the square the distance wind calculation. Pretty interesting. For those who might not know what it is, it goes like this: Get your data on 100yds for wind drift. The data for...- DirkDasterdly

Suppressors Suppressor Application DENIED!!! Something to be aware of.
Thanks for that clarification! All of mine have been docusigned and got back a recent (stamp cashed 10/10/18) one. One thing I haven't read yet that I heard is that there was a big issue with Silencer Shop signing on behalf of the dealers too. If you had one in may or june or thereabout, they...- DirkDasterdly

Suppressors Form 4 wait time
Pretty quick: Ordered 11/30; Form 4 signed (Single Shot trust; Powered By/Silencer Shop) 12/4; check cashed 12/12; approved Jun 19; postmarked Jun 21; received today 6/25. Times seem to be slowly coming down. I've heard that as ATF sees more barcoded forms the times will continue to come...- DirkDasterdly

Suppressors Form 4 wait time
I've had a few corrections and the ATF has been exceptionally helpful. In many cases I've been able to email the corrections to them. If you have an issue like that again, ask your dealer if he can resolve it by email. Most of my corrections result in stamps about two weeks later. In one...- DirkDasterdly

Suppressors Form 4 wait time
Last one we saw the check cleared 12/12. We got the customer's form in our hand on 6/15. We have a kiosk and encourage everyone to do the Single Shot Trust. It seems like our people, on average, are getting their approvals faster than most. One small bit of info: realized the ATF Check...- DirkDasterdly
