    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    That's no joke. The last "1min for everything" relay always takes me down to the last seconds. I've rushed the prone-off-pack final one too many times, or just run out of time. If you're not doing this with a timer, you're not really getting the full experience. (Aka feel the suck)

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    People are attempting this without a shot timer!? That @%$!^!#@ timer wrecks me every time, especially the last relay.

    Elk .243 or 25-06

    Because I'm procrastinating intead of doing real work, I'll bite: -- So a bad shot produced poor results? Weird. -- Do you think your niece would have made a better shot using the 300 win mag instead of the 243? -- If we follow your logic, why stop at 300win mag? If the intent is simply...

    Elk .243 or 25-06

    Not a problem at all, I'll skip the analogy and use small words, just for you: Cup and Core; Frangible; I don't know about the other stuff. I'm in the camp of people who think that frost giants created the world, because that seems like way more fun.

    Breaking Bad: Fudd Bible Edition

    Breaking Bad: Fudd Bible Edition My garbage MS paint drawing was a hit in another thread. So I thought I’d post an expanded version here, in hopes it helps people escape the Fudd Bible Cult. (I say that with love. I'm still a fudd at heart.) The Urban Dictionary says the following: To Break...

    Elk .243 or 25-06

    A Big Hole is always a Big Hole. And a bad shot is always a bad shot. I understand the argument you're making: It's the whole "Bring enough gun" thing. To put it another way, there's a joke I heard once: Anyone can build a house that stands up. But only an engineer can build a house that just...

    Elk .243 or 25-06

    Let me tell you a story about the Fudd Bible. When I first started hunting, there was the Fudd Bible. Its words were spoken in hushed tones in wall tents all over North America, preaching that small calibres were very accurate to shoot, but made small holes. The bigger calibres were harder to...

    Elk .243 or 25-06

    I'm on my lunch break, so I drew an amazing picture. Because something about pictures and words. What my idiot-scribble is saying is that a .22cal bullet with Science Tech, shot fast enough ("Energy" here. Bad word, but I'm lazy) will make a really big hole. And can be shot really accurately...

    Elk .243 or 25-06

    Dude, this isn't hard: Option A = Makes a big F'n hole in animals. Super easy to shoot accurately. Option B = Makes a big F'n hole in animals. Not as easy to shoot accurately. Shoot a rig that you can shoot accurately, and that also makes big holes in critters. In that order. Big holes always...

    Members opinions of the Winchester Mod. 70?

    You want a legit FrankenMauser? Zastava stainless steel action and barrel Ruger canoe paddle stock "Tactical" scope (blasphemy on a CRF rifle apparently) Iron sights that "wreck barrel harmonics" I have better pictures on my laptop. Will post later.

    AR Cartridge for Hunting

    I thought I smelled the stank of an outdoorsmenforum.ca-esque ballistics jerkoffery-type comment waft by... When are you going to tell the thread that, up here, we could never legally hunt with AR's? Or, that AR's are illegal now and We The North can't own them? So by all means, please continue...

    Please tell me where my plan needs work

    For what it's worth, I can tell you the candles won't make a difference heat-wise. I've used these in both my two-man tent, and my truck topper. Helped a tiny bit with condensation, but that's it. Mostly it just made for great mood lighting at night. You'll need a wood stove if you're serious...

    Top 5 Hunting Gear Ranking

    Oh man, it hurts having this conversation with my "Younger Self." So much waste. Dear 23 year old idiot. Focus on these things, and your life will be way better: 1. Optics. 2. Repeat: Optics. Yes, dummy, optics. Get good binos. Blow 90% of your budget on binos. This is a leap of faith, but...

    Tanget Theta 3-15x50mm Scope Evaluation

    Haha I don't disagree. Fortunately I give @Formidilosus mad credit. His posts and commentary got me switched on to Tikkas and SWFA's/LRHS/Scopes that work. (Still havent made the jump to 6.5 Creedmoor - I just can't quit the 30-06.) When I was at the range the other week, a buddy of mine said...

    Leupold "Screw On Dials" still exist?

    Does anyone know if Leupold still makes these "Screw On Dial" things? Looks like they were released in 2015, but I can't seem to find anything recent. (Leupold's site is hot garbage for finding stuff...) Reference discussing these things here I just snagged a 6x36 M8, and thought maybe an S5...

    Best ROI on upgrades for November elk hunting

    That's fine. Personally, I waited around and bought used, because I too don't like dropping mad cash if I can avoid it. However, my bino purchase record over the years went something like: Bushnell ($100), Leupold ($300), Vortex ($500), Leupold ($600), Nikon ($700) = $2,200. When I finally...

    Best ROI on upgrades for November elk hunting

    Step 1. Save as much money as needed to get the best binos. Notice I said "the best". Not best you can afford at the time. Stick with your current binos until you can drop the coin on Alpha stuff. It's worth it (Honest, it really is worth doing), and cheaper in the long run (I learned this the...
