    Sedona AZ

    It’s beautiful country, that’s what attracts the hippies with crystals. Lots of outside activities. I second most of the things said above to do. It’s an amazing area.

    Elk traveling ridges or drainage bottom?

    Not gonna be either extreme, unless they are crossing them. My limited experience is the highest half of the slope, all things being equal. Make your choice based on thermals/wind. It’s usually easier to stalk down to them than up to them. And, faster too.

    Hunting with supressor vs brake

    There are other threads about hunting with a suppressor, I’ve commented on many. Ultimately, there are many reasons to run a suppressor and I won’t go out without one.

    Why Attend a Long-Range Shooting Course?

    It is one of the best things you can do, at a good school. The feedback and education is the fastest way to competency. I went to one, and it was very good.

    Clamping tripod

    That’s a good solution. You can also switch over to ARCA as the rail and clamp. I find that a plate closer to the balance point of the rifle can also be good in lots of situations.

    Clamping tripod

    I use a bag off the top of a tripod for kids. Adult controls setting up the tripod, kid learns how to position himself behind tripod, both kneeling and standing. It’s worked great in many hunts, especially with new shooters. I have them practice with a .22 and cans in camp. Building the...

    How are you training for long range?

    750 is a long way. 8” is an admirable target size. And, just a little error makes a big difference. Fortunately, if you practice on that, you’ll know your skill and load. Then, on game animals you get a little wider target for the most part. If you can, add in some practical training. I go in...

    Shorty .22 Creed: Guess the Speed

    So very cool! Stamp for the suppression. None for SBR because barrel length measured from the total length of the barrel like a pinned and welded barrel.

    How are you training for long range?

    Shooting up and down at an angle also changes the recoil movement of the rifle, making shots land higher if recoil is not managed. The mass of the rifle is also at an angle to the body in many situations. When the gun is tipped muzzle up, the recoil impulse is in different proportion to gravity...

    How are you training for long range?

    Kudos for the work and effort. Keep at it. You are doing a lot of good stuff already. Get a bigger target, paint vital size, and be brutally honest with yourself. You can’t learn without feedback. A 6 mph wind? You didn’t say what cartridge, but my 6.5 creed is 14.4 inches of drift with a...

    Savage 110 .270 win lite strikes

    Could be your reloads. Confirm by seating your primers well. Clean and lube with a light oil. If you want to test the spring, try a small washer to get more compression.

    Wind meter

    I would find a basic Kestrel used off eBay. And sell it when done. It’s a cheap rental. Better than buying junk, questioning it, and then sticking it in a junk drawer.

    Wind meter/Kestrel for Nrl hunter competition

    Good idea to calibrate your wind sense with a wind meter. You don’t need it for data for 95% of the stages. Just keep your rangefinder out of the sun

    Awesome! Good luck on the hunt.

    Looking for my next rifle caliber

    I agree that is is not much of a practical difference. I shoot a 25 mag with 133s, and the ballistics pretty well match my 7mm with 180s. And, with a 5” shorter barrel. IMO, he wants another larger, it still makes little sense to accept the unnecessary recoil, so the 7mm. But, if he wants a...

    Looking for my next rifle caliber

    180s in a 7mm have the ballistic advantage over most 300 until you shoot the 220+ class of bullets at the extreme range 800ish plus yards. I don’t know why anyone would want a 300 magnum with the extra punishment when most shots are inside that 800. At no time is a 180 grain bullet...

    Need Help Deciding Between Silk 634 and Silk 633

    Both will interfere with sitting to some extent, unless fully extended. I like fewer sections. They seem more stable. You can always cut the center to fit your style.

    Tripod head

    I picked one up, it’s actually pretty solid. I don’t use it much for shooting/glassing though, so can’t comment on that but when I have used it for that is good. I use it for small cameras.
