    Bleed control - personal program

    They upgraded it significantly. From the white Velcro to the grey Velcro, they beefed up the windless, made it slightly wider, deleted the second routing through the buckle, and upgraded the Velcro. I have full confidence in the CAT. I think it is a great TQ. That said, it was designed...

    The current Gen CAT (grey) eliminated the second opening. It’s 100% Velcro now.

    Bleed control - personal program

    On a side note, there are a lot of TQs on the market. Go with one that approved by the committee on tactical combat casualty care. Generally, that means a CAT of a SOFT-W. There are others, but those are the standard. Within those, the SOFT is a much more durable and reliable product...

    How to catch an untrapable mouse.

    Create a fatal funnel with non chewable objects on the floor…metal file cabinet…hope chest… Funnel him into a glue trap that’s baited with a single kernel wide line of corn. Put corn all the way across the trap in case he is on the other side. Add a splash of molasses to it.

    As a Juror, would you vote to convict someone that killed a wolf?

    The law is not a suicide pact and the verdict was placed in the hands of the people, not the government, specifically so that they could both vote on guilt and whether the government has gone too far with its application of the law. Lots of things were legal, but evil.

    As a Juror, would you vote to convict someone that killed a wolf?

    We live in a post constitutional world with no laws or rules beyond what the political class chooses to enforce at any given time. Play be their rules as those are the only rules.

    7 PRC for costal brown bears?

    You should shoot it through the shoulder at 500 yards with a 223 and Sierra matchkings. Just uniform the flash hole and send it from a Tika. That increases the killing power at least 300%.

    Factory, blueprinted, or custom rifle build?

    Buy an X Bolt or X Bolt 2 and go hunt…seriously. Custom rifles are a fun luxury like a race car that you love but are always trying to tune and adjust. After a pile of rifles, I learned an expensive lesson…buy a good enough rifle, practice with it…and go hunt. Spend extra money on glass and...

    Why pay for a "custom" action?

    Custom rifles and actions make a lot of sense for special applications…target shooters, competition, desire to run unique calibers or projectiles. However, modern factory rifle options are very good for most shooters. A decent factory Model 70 is a consistent sub MOA rifle with good ammo...

    Ruger barrels - improved since the past?

    Ruger bought its own hammer forge machines to make barrels. Generally, they are good. Their rifles primarily suffer from a lack of bedding. Plus, the odd angled recoil lug.

    Hardware is a favorite topic on here. Focus on software first. Master the basics of rifle work. Although dated, this is an excellent book on getting the most out of your rifle. It’s from an era when brilliance in the basics was mandatory as rifles were basic...

    Does anybody have a good shotgun lubricant for very cold temperatures?

    This is the current mil spec CLP. Break free was the old version. New doesn’t have Teflon…and has more solvent to make it flow better in cold weather...

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    The universal answer to which pistol is Glock 19. Specifically, a Gen 5 MOS with an ACRO and Dawson suppressor sights. Put it on an aftermarket plate, not the Glock plate and do it properly. 5.5 pound trigger, no mods. Mag well is a good addition if using +2 extension mags. Add a Surefire...

    Does anybody have a good shotgun lubricant for very cold temperatures?

    The above is correct. Real CLP is good in the cold. Often, shotguns struggle because they have sludge of unburned powder and oil. It needs to be cleaned and flushed with gun scrubber, then lubed with Royal Lubricants CLP Or original Break Free.

    wolves, we have enough.....

    We can put a grizzly or few wolves in your living room and you can tell they you come in peace so they will just cuddle up and be friendly. Just say it in Arapaho…not evil white man language. That’s about how stupid your ideas are. A Denver resident would probably believe it. They believed...

    wolves, we have enough.....

    No. The city dwellers are voting to impose their will on people outside the city…an experience that the city dwellers will never experience first hand. They are committing an immoral act and should be treated with disdain for disregarding the lives and property of rural Americans. Rights...
