    Aftermarket or DIY solar?

    I just ordered some cheap ones off Amazon then put them in a zip lock. Real basic. Some cameras I have are 6v. So I only need 2 18650s... you'd have to see how yours are wired to know how many batteries you need.

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    Recently worked up a load for a HMR in 6.5. It took a while to get what I wanted, low sd/tight group. I started with powder to find a good node and then low es. Once that was done I did oal adjustments by .005... this is where it took a while. I think the jump was .1 or something like that. But...

    Meateater and Ted Nugent

    I appreciate what Ted is trying to support but he is a bumbling idiot. His time is LONG past and his word ( if that's what you call his gibberish) is useless. The only thing he has value with money.... but then again he just builds his own fenced in ranches and asays fu to the neighbors...

    Laser powering solar array

    Anyone ever test out their RF to see if it can power a solar array to any extent? Came across this gem and thought a rf with proper cooling and a constant power source would be an easy test article. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19950014122/downloads/19950014122.pdf?attachment=true

    AMMO,inc to send 1 million bullets to Ukraine

    For reference: you can fit just over 1M 5.56 rounds in a 40 ISO, palletized. 7.63x39 would fit as well, depending on what a palletized load looks like. The real question is, why can't we buy them by the iso load? Obviously they just have it lying around... so where's my buy option?

    Hunting Misconceptions and Ethics

    Most hunters aren't " unsportsmanlike"???? You've never hunted montana as a non-resident. Or, hunting michigan stateland in general. I'd rather meet a bear than deal with these crusty, lying, cowardly dickheads we call humans.

    Kodiak canvas beware

    Pre-covid they would answer. Then covid hit and they went silent. I was supposed to get a new end piece for a pole over a year ago, but they stopped responding. Luckily, I can rig it to work. If my 12x12 ever becomes fubar ill just get an all canvas/floorless tent.

    Thermal for Recovery

    We use thermals for game recovery but it just allows us to identify deer a few seconds before our flashlights find it. On the last recovery session I looked into thermal drones. If Ihad to buy my thermal that is the way to go.

    Realistic ranges for light weight rifle

    Like has been stated. You are missing out on fundamentals of shooting. If your groups are opening up, its most likely you. If its not you specifically. Its your setup. Everyone has their own max limit. Yours may be just 500 yards. If you want to get better practice farther and farther. True...
