I'm trying to decide between these two options. If I already have a schmedium gitlite gc, would you point me towards the SRS? Is the main advantage of the LS wild one just already having the bag on there for speed to glassing off it?
For standard divisions the stages are blind so no ranging until you are on the clock. I'm not sure if more leeway is given for skills division. I think I read that the ROs can point out the targets to you in skills division if you would like.
I've only shot 1 match, but am planning on doing the Madras one this year in the skills division too. I ran my first event with just my rifle, harris bipod, pack, binos, standalone rangefinder and had a great time. One of the more skilled guys took pity on me and let me borrow a gamechanger-ish...
Sorry to hear that @OregonSteeler . I've gotten pretty down when I've had major injuries/setbacks in the past. I know this won't exactly help, but injuries happen to everyone, and just as you recovered from your last meniscus tear, you'll recover from this injury. I hope the diagnosis isn't too...
As a heads up, if you're intending to use the 7PRC then switch out to 6.5, you'll be hoofing both rifles around to all the stages. Depending on what stage you start at, it may be a long walk back to the car to switch them out.
@Formidilosus Thanks for the review, I just picked up a pair and looking forward to receiving them. It seems Revic suggests using non-magnetic closure bino harness for the BLR10b to avoid throwing off the internal compass. Do you think that's necessary? Seems like firing azimuth should only play...
I agree that nothing drives performance progress like having an event that you're training for. I have no problem keeping a consistent, balanced training schedule of lifting and running throughout the year, but I'm unlikely to push hard for progress in either unless there is something(mostly...
The Queen Majesty sauces from Heatonist are my wife and my favorites. Specifically the scotch bonnet & ginger, and the red habanero & black coffee. The Los Calientes Rojo is also very good.
The tikka 6.5CM CTR kept showing it's consistency on my last range trip
The 223 tikka also had some good groups although there was a wandering zero. Although not photographed, earlier groups had been dead zeroed with black hills 77tmks, and this group is now at almost an inch right (and I had...
If you've never really done weight training before, then you may be able to put on some muscle while you lose some fat. I wouldn't worry about "going backwards" though. If you're already pretty muscular and you are prioritizing weight loss right now, even if you don't really gain that much...
I'd say a lot of it depends on where you're at. If you're already pretty muscular with a long training history, gaining muscle while cutting is unlikely. If you're currently under muscled and have higher bodyfat, and low training history, then sure, definitely possible.
