Rokslide Culture Question

[Stinky Coyote]

I have a bad internet day every day. I suck at the internet and don’t use any social media so a lot of the time I come across as an ass or a douche, or ask dumb questions when I don’t fully read the context etc.

I think if you’d ask the dozens of Rokslide members I’ve met in real life, shot with, etc. maybe only a couple would still think I’m an ass

My intent a lot of the time here is to get people to go out and try things for themselves. You learn a whole heck of lot more about shooting and killing by shooting and killing. Staring at apps on phone screens all day is bad for the soul, even if they are ballistics apps

How someone takes my responses isn’t on me. Could I be “nicer” or less “douchey” about it sometimes? Yep.

Haha love this and felt this and same here!

the left, the party of peace, calm, rational, the summer of peace we had after Floyd haha...

I much prefer the harsh douches lol, as I am one online for sure but in person as you say most prefer as it’s a different ball game. And I will take, like me in person, over anything else as well. I bet I’m even more loved online than you haha. But it translates well in person too but I’m so protective of my time in person few get a chance to be blessed by time with me out there haha and if they knew my online persona they’d prolly rethink their in person feelings haha. At this stage I avoid as many people as possible but always a hit when I can’t avoid em. I do test them though and will find a way to push them away if they aren’t tribe worthy.

I want to start out by saying I really appreciate this forum - without it I never would have understood the importance of a drop tested scope and would still have Leupold VX6HDs on all my rifles instead of the nightforces they currently wear. Also was drawn to the 223 thread and am totally on board with prioritizing bullet construction/performance over all else.

Having said that, what is up with constantly being attacked if you choose to shoot something other than a .22 or .243 caliber cartridge?

Or being told you don’t shoot enough or shouldn’t be hunting if you don’t hunt with a small caliber or want to buy a gunwerks rifle.

@mxgsfmdpx is one of the worst, but there are others who are just as bad. It reminds me of the long range hunting website and their obsession with sherman cartridges and hammer bullets.

I love my 223 and 6cm and shoot them a lot. Its crazy to me that someone who likes to take their 280 AI or 6.5 prc elk hunting because they appreciate the high bc bullets and their performance with wind is going to get ridiculed and told they don’t shoot enough and shouldn’t be hunting.

If an eldm in a 223 or 22 CM is awesome, isn’t an eldm in a 6.5 PRC just more of a good thing?

Anyway, its been interesting moving from a spectator to a participant and I am probably going to go back to spectating and hopefully find some good deals in the classifieds

I think this could be one the best hunting forum on the internet if a handful of people could tone it down. Thanks again for all those who have made positive contributions and comments. Not looking to stir things up, just wanted to share a humble observation from a nobody on the internet

If you cant hang with the big dogs,
get the hell of the porch. @mxgsfmdpx is the man! And I think his “tone” is spot on!!

There are lots of folks on here that shoot calibers larger than .22 and 243, read their posts and interact with them and ignore the small caliber guys like @mxgsfmdpx . It's really that simple, and I am sure @mxgsfmdpx doesn't really care if you don't read his posts or not either lol.

If they bother you that bad there is always the "ignore" function as well, block them if you need to

It appears he cares a lot.

This thread is great. Any time someone can give @mxgsfmdpx some crap it’s a good thread.

It’s all a give a one take. Small vs big, they both have advantages and disadvantages. Some people just like to focus on the advantages of their preferred bullet.

Oh and anytime I see someone say “it’s bullet not headstamp” I throw up in my mouth a little bit.

It's bullet not headstamp.

You can thank me later for tasting breakfast twice.

Can I echo, “it’s the bullet, not the headstamp”

“It’s the bullet, not the head stamp.”

And, as a bonus, “it’s the Indian, not the bow.”

The only one who cares more about me than me, on this site, is you

I am satisfied with the direction Rokslide nudge me about three years ago. If I tumble going up a mountain, or tumble coming down with deboned meat, my SWFA is still dead on. A five-day backpack with some dust blowing into the tent, and so forth, I am not worried my Tikka will malfunction.
