Just a different angle, granted the military is always right, but why are we spending effort to move away from the 5.56 when a 223 is all they need?
Calling people stupid for having an opinion, that has some evidence to support it, and then providing no counter argument other than vague non sequiturs about life in Wyoming is not trolling?So everybody that doesn’t share your life experiences is a troll or catfish? That sounds like solid analytical skills. Lol
From what I understand they are looking for a cartridge to better penetrate body armor, not necessarily to make it a better killer in regards to soft/unarmored targets.Just a different angle, granted the military is always right, but why are we spending effort to move away from the 5.56 when a 223 is all they need?
This is the way (of the forum)… when all of the big game hunting seasons are closed.
I have been hunting southern whitetails for decades. It really depends on the area hunting. If I am in the mountains or thick swampy areas, a magnum is never needed. A 7mm08, 308, 338Fed or 358W work as well as many others like the 30-30. If hunting farm land, a 28 Nosler or 300PRC is needed for the reach with high BC bullets. My answer…It depends.
Where exactly did I refer to everyone as a catfish?So everybody that doesn’t share your life experiences is a troll or catfish? That sounds like solid analytical skills. Lol
If I close my eyes and have someone read me this thread I'm transported to the Sportsmans gun counterbecause of the Geneva convention the U.S. military is not allowed to use any ammunition that is designed to “expand or flatten easily inside of a human target”. Everything has to essentially be a FMJ or AP round.
I actually saw one of these lifted with something around a 30 inch tire. I was honestly impressed, there was absolutely NO brake over angle on that thing and talking to the guy that built it he said the wheel base allows him to pretty much walk through a lot of crap.Do smart car drivers poo poo the Prius?View attachment 700237
Bahahahahaha.If I close my eyes and have someone read me this thread I'm transported to the Sportsmans gun counter
It’s going to be harder than I thought to convince a buddy to take a 223 rack hunting with me. I asked if they had a 223 with 77 gr TMK, or a 300 mag and 200 gr Accubond to choose from for these hard shots, which would they prefer, and nobody chose the 223 :-(
Dang it all to heck.
I’ll keep trying. *chuckle*

That’s no better, instead we just fight about fixed vs mechanical, single vs multi-pin, and heavy vs light arrows. All the same shitI'm going to go back to bow hunting now
I was told by a guy in Switzerland that when "Smart" cars first came out, they would sometimes flip over backwards when starting too fast on a steep hill. They had to design some sort of limiter in order to address that issue.I actually saw one of these lifted with something around a 30 inch tire.

Yeah, this thread somehow devolved into the (unrevealed) expert secrets of ass shooting...I'm going to go back to bow hunting now
No… but I have eaten the entire butt end of a quiche. I generally find it unnecessary to shoot them, as they are slow and docile. Don’t shoot em, just sneak up behind them, grab and eat.Have you ever shot a quiche in the ass??
(Is "a quiche" correct?) ....I always call it "quee-chee" to annoy my daughters....
True, but the threads seem to be less prevalent and less likely to drag on to 20+ pages of BS, at least from what I've seen. I pretty much ignore what is new and hot with archery anyway. I've shot fixed heads and plain Jane gold tip hunter xts my entire life and don't plan on changing because I know the ins/outs and it works for me. My biggest regret is selling my Mathews LX in favor of a vxr. It's nowhere near as accurate in my hands as that old LXThat’s no better, instead we just fight about fixed vs mechanical, single vs multi-pin, and heavy vs light arrows. All the same shit
I’ve never seen a pelvis target, but the most helpful practice seems to be spent visualizing what’s going on around the pelvis. The point we’re aiming for is as far forward as the visible bumps of the hips. We call it aiming for the base of the tail, but it’s a little farther forward than that. Height down from the hairline is the most important - that’s where “base of the tail” is about right. If the spine is going directly away from you, the target is little more than a tennis ball. If the animal is going uphill slightly, or you’re a little above, there is more spine to hit if the bullet goes a little high.Thanks for answering the question.
I noticed you mention about teaching this particular shot (facing directly away). Do you have a source for targets? Maybe whitetail as well. Thanks.
