    Buy American?

    Have been a Hide member for quite some time and especially follow the optics forum. I find it a bit interesting that although the Hide is certainly made up of a majority of patriotic Americans I don't see much discussion of "Buy American". Lots on...

    Kestrel 5700 elite Range Card question

    Thanks, I got that part but my question is where does it obtain the raw data to derive the yardage inputs. Obviously which gun selected is part of it as is also probably some currently available enviro data. But it has to get some ballistic data somewhere that it extrapolates into forming the El...

    Kestrel 5700 elite Range Card question

    How does the range card derive the data to populate the various range increments? Specifically, if I use my linked terrapin and laser a target at one range does the Range Card re-populate the incremental ranges using the data from that one episode of laser acquisition? Thanks in advance for...

    Training Courses High angle classes?

    The rope work in the Rifles Only High Angle is only with the special operations military groups that train here. We try to keep the civilian classes firmly on the ground; but being in shape to haul your gear up and down game trails in the mountains is a requirement.

    I have a very good condition NF FFP ATACR 5-25x56 mil-r with zero stop and illum that I wish to trade for a NF NXS 5.5-22x56 mil dot (Model C 244) with zero stop and illum. Am tired of the busy mil-r reticle and my three other rifles have NF mildot so looking for some consistancy. Also I am...

    First Look ?- Cronus Tactical Spotting Scope by Athlon Optics

    First Look ?- Cronus Tactical Spotting Scope by Athlon Optics

    Glad a couple of you guys appreciated my write up on a new product. Spent a few hours and tried to give objective information on the scope.

    First Look ?- Cronus Tactical Spotting Scope by Athlon Optics

    I have compared the Cronus 20-60 with the Athlon Ares 15-45 x 65 with the ED glass. Our range runs out to 1600 mountainous yards and quite honestly I preferred the Ares as its compact and light. Seeing impacts on steel at 1550 were easy with either. The newer tactical has a reticle which the...

    First Look ?- Cronus Tactical Spotting Scope by Athlon Optics

    I would say one of the big differences is the tactical bent of the Athlon reticle. You wanna range with a H32 you do the math. Height of Target (inches) X 27.8 -/- Mils Subtended = range to target (yards). The stadia of the Athlon circumvents that. Scopes and spotters with the Horus...

    First Look ?- Cronus Tactical Spotting Scope by Athlon Optics

    Not at this time is my understanding, but I am not privy to future plans from Athlon

    First Look ?- Cronus Tactical Spotting Scope by Athlon Optics

    This will be my goto for sure. Since I have only had it for a few days I obviously cannot speak to durability, but it is compact and seems very sturdy with lens caps for both ends and has multi coated lenses with very good light transmission and is waterproof.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56 or S&B PMii 5-25x56.

    In my book durability, especially for a hunting scope is extremely important! The NF torture tests are available to see on their site or utube or Vimeo. Have not seen S&B try this.

    using a drone for target cam?

    Works We use a Mavic Pro to fly up the mountain and snap pictures of targets that it would take a 40 minute round trip hike to get too. Tried to set it up to be completely automated using DJI GS Pro App, such that the drone took off, flew to target, centered target in camera, took picture and...

    Rifle Scopes What Can I Clean Lenses With

    One of the best field cleaning liquids is spit. No really the enzymes in saliva are preferable to plain water and some cleaning solutions. Astronomers use saliva on very expensive glass. Be sure to use an appropriately soft optics rag or cotton ball, and blow or lightly brush off the macro dirt...
