    DIY rifle shooting “competition” advice

    I left the course set up and try to run it occasionally, it’s fun, but more fun w friends. We tried to set it to mimic hunting situations, shooting through gaps in brush/trees, off hand, leaning on trees/fence posts, shooting off rocks, targets painted in different ways, some stations have...

    DIY rifle shooting “competition” advice

    https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/rokslide-style-shooting-match-challenge-7-20-24.365582/ Did something similar this summer. Strongly suggest incorporating time in the scoring, Form describes how in the thread. Scrap metal/chain is cheap, 1/4” plate is too thin.

    Need a new powder dispenser

    TAC/LEVER/H4350/Varget have all dropped well for me, with the stick powder you can feel it cut a little powder. If you take the time to write down the settings it's supposed to be repeatable too for powder charges. It's quick to dial back in a charge so I haven't bothered with writing it down...

    Harrels powder dispenser is/was a game changer for me. Otherwise, my setup is pretty basic.

    Need a new powder dispenser

    Harrels (basic model) powder dispenser. A little better with ball, but close enough for me on stick powder. Helluva lot faster than anything else, I hold fives cases in a hand and drop right down the line. To be transparent, if I'm within +/- 0.1gr I'm plenty happy, Harrels hasn't put me outside...

    Jim Green African Ranger Barefoot Boots

    Picked up a pair a few weeks ago. Hunted a few days last week in them, short hikes 3-5 miles. Grip is legit. I didn’t love them in terrain where I was side hilling as I felt like my foot was rolling over the sides. For trail hiking and day to day wear these moved to the top for now. Wore...

    Mtn Lion Ban Filed in Colorado

    I’ve run some half paper ads in my community news paper on other community issues. Maybe worth doing in some targeted markets.

    Was a redemption bear for me this year, missed a big beautiful ginger bear this spring in MT to a mental mistake or four.

    Hopefully you have more time to chase them! Sounds like you found a honey hole. I think this is where the Forms “hunting drill” has helped me tremendously, starting from carry each time. Not quite the scenario you described, but putting myself on a timer is eye opening. To your point my...

    6.5mm Projectile for Moose

    Checking out the new garmin yesterday, I’m at 2656fps w 130gr TMK 41.5 gr h4350, lapua srp brass, 18” Tikka 6.5Cm. Does altitude have an effect on velocity at the muzzle, didn’t think that was a thing?

    I bounced around looking for acorns or berry patches (never really found any). I had a couple spots that were a waste of time r/t limited glassing ability, but feel like I built a good library going forward. I’d be hesitant to commit to a spot unless I knew there was a solid food source. My...

    Some great days exploring the area, not being a bow hunter I def appreciate having the month to chase game. Hopefully I can get time the first week next year and find acorns early.

    3 half days, 2 full days. I had most of this week to get after it, but was getting discouraged w total lack of fresh sign.

    Must be photo type issue, screen shot of picture seems to work. Just a little guy, maybe I’ll be more picky in future years

    Correct. Not sure why I can’t post pictures. A little bit of scat fell out while skinning, couldn’t discern what he was eating.

    Better lucky than good. Oak brush 8500ft. No acorns in sight. I've covered a lot of new country this week, lots of places to hit in years to come. I must have pissed Ryan off, can't upload any pictures
