    Max Effective Range for Elk: 7-08, 6.5C, and 308

    You can’t compare anti-armor munitions and their ability to pierce said armor and kill everything inside the vehicle to hunting ammunition. AT/AA rounds typically utilize some form of armor piercer, usually in the form of a shaped charge or spalling SLAP tip to kill the troops inside the...

    Bleed control - personal program

    Like I said, my opinions and experience are skewed by my profession. My wife thinks my aid kits are ridiculous but she also has sting relief pads…which are truly ridiculous. As far as the “stick anywhere bandage”, I believe he is referring to a hydrocolloid bandage. You are think of “coban”...

    Bleed control - personal program

    I’ll have to look around. The CATs I’m issued are black with black velcro. They do have a beefy plastic windless that doesn’t flex like the older versions used to (definitely an upgrade from the first CATs I was issued 15 years ago). They have two holes in the buckle. I don’t know who...

    Bleed control - personal program

    I only have the black CATs. Come to think of it, I don’t think we have any that are grey…at least not that I’ve seen issued. I don’t think I’d be ok with solely relying on the velcro to hold them in place, especially on a femoral bleed. Good to know cause that’s something I have to keep an eyes...

    Bleed control - personal program

    SOF-Ts are great tools, if they’re prepped properly. I always have one on my kit and two CATs. The CAT only relies solely on Velcro if you do not pass it through the friction adapter through both openings. If that is done, then the Velcro is essentially just to secure the excess in the running...

    Bleed control - personal program

    I’ll add that when buying CATs, be careful. There’s a plethora of Chinese knock-offs available (especially through Amazon) you can buy real CATs on Amazon though, just buy them through the N.A.R. store. I like SOF-Ts because of the metal windless but they are not good for applying to oneself...

    Bleed control - personal program

    I’m sure the ratchet tourniquets work and have been tested but there’s a reason that the CAT is the gold standard. They’ve saved lives through 20 years of sustained combat and I tend to not trust life-saving interventions that have a mechanical feature. I carry three tourniquets on my combat...

    WTB 7mm Rem Mag Tikka Prefit Barrel

    I’m in need of a Tikka prefit barrel in 7mm Rem Mag. Looking to see if someone has one laying around. Preferably Proof Sendero contour but I’m willing to do some sanding if need be. Maybe I’ll get lucky and someone is wanting to convert a 7mm Rem Mag to 7 PRC.

    What’s the barrel contour? Looks to be Proof Sendero but I’ve been wrong a time or two in my life.

    Exercise Equipment

    As stated above Peloton is very popular right now. It’s hard to beat a rower or assault bike for high intensity cardio. I use a ski erg, rower or assault bike daily. For treadmills I’m a huge fan of a curved surface treadmill. There’s huge benefits to them, the biggest one being that you are the...
