Bumping this. Euro Optic was clearing out the 3-9x40 recently, so I snagged... will update this thread with impressions. Fingers crossed it lives up to the name on the side of em, will be a hell of a package if so
Yeah man that's a beautiful buck for any fair chase operation. Apparently less than five percent of bucks make it to 130 or better in the mid Atlantic. Always kinda humbles me to know I'm in the presence of a master of survival like that.
Congrats!
Our sport doesn't need more hunters, we need the right kind of hunters. And returning seasons to their original intent- removing xbows from archery season, long range muzzleloaders from blackpowder seasons- is exactly the way to do that.
Unfortunately, restrictions like "irons only" for muzzleloaders are necessary now. Otherwise there will be too many kids fresh off a Cameron Hanes youtube video throwing 400 yard shots at animals without ever having chronoed the load they're shooting or developed a dope card, all in the quest...
Frugal, or just not dumb? Climber I'm sitting in probably has about $30-$50 worth of material in it. Lone Wolf has lost their skull.
Also, pro tip for anyone considering this idea- shooting for a 250 pound capacity instead of 300 makes everything about this a lot easier... the vast majority of...
They did. The MSRP is, not kidding, a grand.
If anyone is a welder looking for a side hustle, I've got one for you. Pretty easy set of parameters to meet, honestly. Under 15 pounds and under 500 bucks. Two stationary pieces of metal we're talking about here, not the Hubble telescope. Crazy to...
Definitely not. The main reason you hear people talk about projectile fragmentation as a bad thing is the way it happens in traditional, low quality cup-and-cores like core lokt whereby most of the bullet's mass ends up as thousands of tiny microfragments that are too small to do anything but...
EOD is a great community with a lot of awesome dudes. They are not a part of Naval Special Warfare, though. The only rates there are SEAL (SO) and SWCC (SB)
Yeah age waivers in SOF generally go to like 30 max.
To clarify, there are a lot of 24 year old olympians who don't complete selection programs. Just a bit comical to see dudes with no experience who are "absolutely certain" of anything in that context
Valid point for sure. But he has a bunch of pretty serious injuries, and after an acute TBI like he got in the first Edwards fight... lots of dudes are never the same. Reyes after Jiri. Tony after Chandler. Askren after Masvidal. We'll see tomorrow, but I think his only path to victory is if he...
Good looks. Even better is never posting an original picture, but doing a screenshot instead. Removes the associated metadata from it in almost all cases.
This. Also, the unit from my recent Colorado hunt has 94 waypoints in it, some with icons that have nothing to do with what was actually...
100% with you on all these. Usman looked, in the Edwards rematch, a lot like Cowboy and Tony did in their last few fights... slow and uncoordinated. I think Khamzat ragdolls him. Hot take here, but this is at best bad timing for Volk. 11 days to prepare for a dude as skilled as Islam is a tough...
Skip this idea for sure. Well documented that individual dimensions vary enough to cause POI shifts, and the differences between a young lady and a man would likely be significant.
As long as you can get both to group well with quality ammo, I would stick with what you've got. Honestly...
Check, that's about what I figured. Don't have my calipers with me to measure my current set of arrows, but assuming they're the same GPI, spine and diameter... safe to guess they'd perform similarly at standard 40-and-in hunting distances?
Got a setup that shoots 340 spine Carbon Raider Platinums really well. Looks like these have been discontinued along with the Beman ICS Hunter series, which evidently was the same arrow wearing a different sticker. Anyone know if Easton is still producing these under a different name? Found...
