Alright guys, I'm an adult onset, first generation hunter and I need all the help I can possibly get. I've run across a few super useful how-to threads, and I'm hoping to find even more of them. Most of these write ups I've found are from @Formidilosus but I'm interested in everyone's knowledge. I don't have enough time to learn everything through my own experience so I want to try to benefit as much as possible from everyone else's.

So, who can point me toward some more write ups like these?

Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting
This isn’t in response to anyone I particular, but there is an up tick in the amount of “I want a XXXX distance hunting rifle” traffic the last few months. I am getting a lot of questions relating to this, which I do not mind helping, but thought a public post might help answer some questions...

Bonding a picatinny rail to an action
I’ve been asked a bunch on how to bond or glue a rail to an action. I had one today to do, so… This is a Tikka T3x and Leupold Backcountry Rail. The has a lip around the edge of it, it’s not flat with the action. So you lose all friction that would come when the rail and action are mated...
