    Have you moved out of state?

    Scanned online and a lot of people share pretty negative feelings about Utah. Following are just a fraction of comments from people who live in Utah derived from just one website, thetoptens.com: "Utah needs to change because as of right now, it is the rudest state on the west coast, and that...

    Grizzly bear killed in Unit 6

    I kind of see some disparate viewpoints, so not quite gathering your meaning. Which direction, specifically, are you perceiving?

    Have you moved out of state?

    Isn't it odd? There are only a handful of states I've never been in, but hands down the rudest place I've ever experienced is Utah. It just seems so danged odd. Even people in New York are not as rude. Usually western states are hospitable, perhaps not so much in terms of social protocols...

    Grizzly bear killed in Unit 6

    Mistake made, but always good to read an article about an honorable hunter.

    Have you moved out of state?

    This is exactly the problem. People are literally fleeing from California and Oregon (Portland is losing population badly right now). And why? Because policies in those states are antithetical to good government, good schools, good society. So give those people credit for undertanding their...

    Have you moved out of state?

    Inadvertently became a California resident when I went there for graduate school and got employed immediately. Honestly, during those years I loved it because I was young, single, well paid, and having fun every day. Then I got married and had kids. Turned everything upside down, had to start...

    Velociradar vs. Labradar LX vs. Garmin Xero

    Well that's disappointing. Caldwell Velociradar was originally supposed to be available in May, then it was supposed to be available first week in June, and yet still not available. Note that Midway says "coming soon" and "overdue." That's code for not having the slightest clue when the hell...

    Look on the bright side. She certainly helped pass the time while waiting in TSA's lines...

    "Funny" TSA Thread

    Every one of those employees made an adult choice to accept the job. If it results in too much stress for their personality type, or they don't like dealing with the public, or wages are less than they'd like, well sorry. Live with it like an adult, or quit and move on. People need to be...

    "Funny" TSA Thread

    I think you're referring to the Washington State Senator who accidentally carried his handgun with him to China. He forgot it was in his bag and TSA at Portland International Airport missed it. Less than a year ago. Where I work we call incompetence of that magnitude dangerous buffoonery...

    "Funny" TSA Thread

    I'm sorry that happened to you, but really? What a stupid act by TSA. I mean S T U P I D.

    "Funny" TSA Thread

    Just returned from Rome. Flying out of FCO the security process took like maybe 5 minutes. Why? While they were at least as thorough as TSA, the Italians dedicate far more employees to processing people through their system. The Italians designed their system to get people through quickly...

    Affordable rangefinders that work out to 1000 yards

    Picked it up on a whim because it was so inexpensive -- and I mean inexpensive, think it only cost around $110 or so. But I've honestly been much more impressed than thought I would be by the Halo Optics XLR 3000. Rather shocked that the Halo outperforms my Sig Kilo. Maybe I just got lucky...

    Velociradar vs. Labradar LX vs. Garmin Xero

    Was looking forward to new Caldwell Velociradar in May, but latest info is won't be available until first week in June. Looks to still be selling for $500.

    Good one!

    Velociradar vs. Labradar LX vs. Garmin Xero

    Exactly. Maintaining an open mind certainly is better than wearing blinders as a fanboy.

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

    Yes, it's interesting how so many gun forum discussions devolve into egotistical pissing contests. So much acute sensitivity out there. I don't know if that's a specific reflection of gun forums, or characteristic of online forums generally. Makes me wonder if math forums get into similar...

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    Good points regarding the 30 Nosler. However, as so often happens these type discussions the issue of purpose becomes relevant. In other words, what is the intended usage? For me usage is centered on hunting (specifically elk), but if I was oriented to match competition then the 30 Nosler...

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    Yes, there are definitely BC differences. The 212 has a BC (G1) of .663, the 200 is .597, and the 178 is .552. But below are the profiles shown by Hornady on their website. Not really sure what you meant by form, but interesting to compare how Hornady depicts them. The only real difference...
