    Subconscious vs controlled actions

    Brian Enos book “Practical Shooting, Beyond Fundamentals” explores this a bit. I think for simple engagements, like most IPSC type pistol shooting, the subconscious will usually be faster and more efficient, provided the conscious fundamental groundwork has been laid. For more complex...

    CO 1st rifle experience different than prior years

    Yep, that’s a perspective that is easily lost. Even I do it sometimes. Almost made me nervous to go hunt the first time because people would make posts about idiots walking through the drainage they wanted to glass, next post would be about the dumbass camped on the edge of a field he wanted...

    Best option for a tikka 6mm build

    Option #4 Hornady please go ahead and make a .243 win factory round loaded with 108 ELD M. Or the 103 ELD X.

    What do you carry?

    G19. Big enough to fight with and anything smaller is a compromise in some way or another. Less capacity, less accuracy, etc. I live and work near a major city where multiple thugs with rifles committing car jackings are not exactly rare, so that drives the choice a bit.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    Gotcha, lol. In reality, I think SWFA had that up a few months before the WUBTS thread. At this point I’ll be shocked if they ever release a new scope. I doubt they meet their own 2024 deadline.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    I still need 2 scopes in the next year or two. Originally thought that might be 2 SWFAs, maybe a 6x and a 3-9. Now I’m kinda giving up on SWFA and going for a RS1.2. Hopefully the Rokscope/WUBTS for the second one.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    Are you implying that the WUBTS is being discussed/built by SWFA? I didn’t think they had openly said who they were working with on it.

    How much of your unit do you scout or hunt?

    I tried to find some past threads on this, but didn’t turn up anything, so.. When you pick a GMU to hunt, how much of that unit do you scout? Do you E scout the whole thing, then pick the best few ridges to check in person? What about once season opens? I’ve had seasons where I spend much of...

    Oregon hunting guide killed by accidental discharge

    I’m sure you are aware, but your 1 and 4 are almost the same. A good list a lot of organizations use is Jeff Cooper’s: Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you’re ready to fire. Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot...

    How to end NR Wyoming wilderness ban?

    Is there any of the conservation groups you think would be on our side in this? I would think some of them are pretty tied in with outfitters that would be opposed to it. BHA seems to be pretty friendly to the DIY hunter mindset. Maybe they would put some skin in the game considering 1...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    It’s more likely out of stock due to military contracts and Sierra’s method of doing bullet “runs” sporadically rather than continuous production.

    Caliber Question

    Good deal, just like to throw the thought out there for those that are at that point in their journey. In that case, I like the .280 AI of the two. Unless the gun happens to be a Nosler rifle, then it might be kinda cool to have a Nosler 48 or 21, chambered in a Nosler cartridge.

    Caliber Question

    I’ll give you the Rokslide gospel then. Feel free to ignore it if it doesn’t apply to you. But lots of guys that own that many rifles, in that many calibers, don’t shoot as well as they could/should. Maybe you are simply wealthy enough to stock that many calibers and still shoot enough to be...

    Caliber Question

    Are you a collector or do you shoot/hunt?

    Insoles…expensive mistake??

    Yes. If you do any barefoot or minimalist footwear for a while, you will realize less is more. The few shoes I put an insole in, it’s more because the factory cushion wears out quick. I like the sof sole athlete to add cushioning in a stiff sole boot. I would personally never put an insole...

    Best stand option for thick area with immature trees

    I’ve used Wild Edge steps and a Tethrd predator on trees around 6-8 inches in diameter before. Expect more movement from wind. Other than that, it wasn’t too much different than any other tree. Main problem I have with trees that small is they often lack sufficiently leafy branches for...

    First Backpacking Trip

    Another great resource I like is Andrew Skurka’s blog. He has some great articles on gear, campsite selection, cooking, pretty much everything related to backpacking. And has the experience to say with certainty what works and what is a waste of time. Some of it may be a bit more UL...

    KRG Echo - Sporterish version of bravo for tikkas

    So those that have used the echo, would you say the Bravo is the overall better option for an extra $100? Especially if the extra few ounces is not a particular concern? Comes with LOP spacers. So fixes that issue. Flat bottom at the rear of the stock seems to be the preferred feature there...

    Can we legalize suppressors now?

    Correct. Like I said in the first sentence of the post. But, a hearing safety item doesn’t need the same regulation as machine guns. And people definitely don’t need to be taxed $200 per device to help protect their hearing, their kids hearing, etc.

    Can we legalize suppressors now?

    Legalize isn’t the right word actually, they are legal in most places, just heavily taxed and regulated. Seeing how this election is going for both president and congress, what are the chances we see suppressors de-regulated in the next few years? If suppressors got removed from the NFA, that...
