    Swarovski binos and spotter, buying used if you have to, would be the best option.

    Do you regret getting your suppressor?

    Considering you ordered your first suppressor in March of 2021, received it in 2022, it’s a hard to believe you’ve gained much experience. I recognize your excited about them. Which must be why you’ve ordered a couple more. Good for you. However, your lack of experience should cause you to...

    Do you regret getting your suppressor?

    If a person is hunting from a blind, off a machine (ATV/UTV, truck, boat, etc), or walking very short distances……then, yes, a suppressor is worth considering.

    What is holding you back from competitive shooting?

    If hunters could figure out a way to use their Lead Sleds at positional field matches. I think you’d see a lot more involvement.

    Truing Ballistic Software: 4DOF or AB - amount of required correction

    You’re missing the actual question and purpose of the post. It’s not a question of whether or not ballistic solvers need to be trued, or how to do it. But rather, a question for people that are using AB or 4DOF software, ideally loaded onto Kestrel 5700’s, shooting bullets found in the CDM...

    When do you switch from Spray to Gun ??

    Terminal ballistics for handguns are absolutely pathetic. I carry bear spray. Including while packing moose meat in grizzly country.

    Truing Ballistic Software: 4DOF or AB - amount of required correction

    Great point! From my perspective, having the option to have Temperature vs. Muzzle Velocity sensitivity data inputted into a Kestrel 5700 (AB or 4DOF) is a very valuable feature. For those not aware…once your Kestrel pulls a temperature reading…the software will look up the Temp/Velocity...

    Truing Ballistic Software: 4DOF or AB - amount of required correction

    In general, my speculation is that if this is occurring the errors are most likely one of two things. 1) Lack of consistency of the shooter behind the rifle (e.g. wandering zero). 2) Improper inputs into the ballistic solver (e.g. environmentals).

    Truing Ballistic Software: 4DOF or AB - amount of required correction

    Thanks for sharing your experience. This is the type of data I'm hoping to gather from this thread. My truing experience, using G7 drag models using AB in a Kestrel 5700, has been similar (%) to yours. What cartridge, G7 BC value and starting MV was used for the example above? (I'm...

    Truing Ballistic Software: 4DOF or AB - amount of required correction

    Taking another stab at this…….looking for feedback on the question raised in post #1 or post #2, from anyone who understands and has actually followed the correct process for truing ballistic software (AB, 4DOF) using CDM’s (preferably) or G1/G7 drag models.

    Tripod Table for glassing and shooting

    @hereinaz is it an option to buy the table and bag without the ARCA clamp?

    Truing Ballistic Software: 4DOF or AB - amount of required correction

    Okay, let’s broaden this question a little. Are you truing your ballistic software? If so, at what distance? What method are you using? How much correction is required.

    Your Favorite Kifaru Pack?

    Timberline 1 Timberline 3 I keep trying to convince myself to get a new pack bag. But, the new designs look like an origami project gone bad. Or, just a bag covered in bar tacked webbing. I’ll keep packing what I’ve got. Absolutely love the frames and just about everything else I’ve gotten...

    Best in-field system to switch from bino to spotter

    ^^^^This… The Really Right Stuff plates, to be attached to your spotting scope and the Outdoorsman’s Arca-Bino Adapter plate, are of the same dimensions. This makes it possible to adjust the tension lever on the VA-5 one time and it’ll be good for both plates. From my perspective, if you’re...

    Best Bipods

    Before I started shooting with a TBAC bipod, I use to shoot an Atlas V8. The wrench from Victor Co. made it possible to increase the cant adjustment tension to the point it was essentially locked out. Or, any amount less than that. It was very easy to fine tune tension...

    Best rain pants…. SW Alaska first half September

    From my perspective their cost versus quality/durability is lower than products from companies like Arcteryx or Rab, when we’re discussing rain gear. I recognize that products from these companies cost more. But, I believe you get what you pay for. I do think some of the hunting brands have...
