    How to determine best shoes for running

    This (and weights) was key for me also. I think it's less about rotating shoes on the same terrain than it is changing the terrain under your feet. There is so much to be gained from running on uneven terrain. All the stabilizer muscles in your feet and hips get worked where that will never...

    How to determine best shoes for running

    Agree, I've been getting 500 +/- per pair for the last several years with no issues.

    How to determine best shoes for running

    No way to know if its shoes or an actual injury. Get some medical advice (meaning an actual Dr.), and when you have that ruled out and are ready for proper shoes, go to a reputable running store for proper sizing and analysis. Then, spend the money to get a running analysis done. The things...

    Curious on bullets for moose

    I don't think its complicated. I opt for the old school magnums, and for moose, shot mine with a 300 WM with 195gr Bulldozers. Quartering away at 125 yds, took three steps and I had another one in him by the time he hit the ground.

    Cold Plunges?

    It's not about how you "feel" in the current season. It's about stimulating pathways through cold and heat exposure. Both are good for you and should be utilized year-round.

    Cold Plunges?

    I typically don't dunk, but for no reason other than I don't want to. Check out Susanna Soberg's work on cold exposure. She'd advocate dunking as it activates the dive reflex. Accordingly, not a risk of causing heart issues. It's common for Nordic people (and others, just an example) to swim...

    50k Preparation…how do you know?

    While there is a certain amount of resume needed to get into Barkley, I do know of someone where I live that got in and, other than completing a few ultras, had no resume to speak of. Perhaps he wrote a really compelling essay.

    Suppressor wait times

    Having done a few trusts and now a couple individual applications, there's absolutely no reason for dealers to not certify immediately. That's just poor customer service. I had the same experience, though. My trusts took 2-4 weeks to be certified, and my individuals were certified the same day.

    Mortons Neuroma

    The only thing that eventually worked for my wife was surgery.

    Suppressor wait times

    2 days for my Form 4 individual. Prior 3 trusts were anywhere from 9-15 months.

    Suppressor wait times

    Totally understand. It just seems to contradict the process of approving the initial trustee through background check, etc. I realize the trustee is certifying that co-trustees are not prohibited persons, but I'm guessing that's a legal loophole in the ATF regs. In addition, I found this...

    Suppressor wait times

    How does SC get away with having trust owners establish co-trustees after the initial approval, and say they have all the rights of the initial trustee? I don't get it, and it seems way too easy.

    Suppressor wait times

    Correct, but if it's not specifically willed, I think the suppressor dies with you. I could be wrong there though.

    223 subsonic

    Looking for a starting point on working up a subsonic .223 load for an AR. Appears to be challenges with a small bullet like this, building enough case pressure, and perhaps also getting rifle to cycle. Obviously hoping to avoid a catastrophic failure with a stuck bullet. I was planning on...

    Suppressor wait times

    I think it depends. You lose a lot of flexibility on an individual app. If you have no intention of passing it down to a child or friend when you die, or want others to be able to use it, then by all means individual is the way to go.

    Suppressor wait times

    I don't think the ATF is reviewing the trust language. Only checking that the settlor/trustee is the same person(s) as the stamp application. I know this at a minimum, because last year SC screwed up a trust for me and submitted with prior trust co-trustees included. As expected, the ATF...

    Suppressor wait times

    I don't like it any more than the next guy, but my wait time experience on trusts has been terrible. Nothing sooner than 9 months, and as long as 15!

    Suppressor wait times

    So I guess if 9-12 months is worth an extra $200, then go individual, then move it over to a trust. I'm going to try the individual form 4, just to see what experience I have.

    Suppressor wait times

    It appears that way. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can move an individual approved suppressor to a trust after the fact. The trust provides so much flexibility, but it sure looks like they are being de-prioritized. You'd think with the swing the trust companies have...
