Your chart temp doesn’t go high enough

Yesterday evening…

I dont know how all of these various devices work with bluetooth linking but anything relying on bluetooth link for real time conditions updates would be a hard pass for me. Seems like a good way to drain batteries and booger up your data.

It was a hard "no" for me and $60 less expensive to get the non-linking 5000.

I have an OG AB kestrel, from when you had to download Applied ballistics and the associated ballistic profiles to a PC and upload to kestrel from the PC. It is not compatible with new apps/devices only PCs. I had to buy a cheap laptop specifically for it because I couldn't download AB on my work laptop

I'd pay a little more now if it meant i could upload new bullet profiles from my phone!

Enjoy your final day boys, it’s a good one!

@Shaymos94 I have the kestrel 2700 which is fairly inexpensive and basic but it does give accurate temperature and wind speed. It also allows for one rifle profile saved in it for ballistic calculation. I use the temp off the kestrel, elevation from phone or just knowing where I’m at, and the DA chart to figure out DA. Keep in mind I don’t really know what I’m doing but it seems like it meets my needs .

Moving or visiting?

Moving or visiting?

We have property there and try to spend as much of the summer there as we can.

I’m attempting to mail(ship) left over ammunition to a fellow shoot2hunt classmate. He was unable to fly home with it. The UPS and FedEx drop off locations I tried pretty much told me to go kick rocks. I could ship via my FFL but then would be subject to FFL transfer fees on both ends as well as shipping costs. I’ve purchased ammunition online and had it shipped to me without issue plenty of times. I assumed personally shipping it would be no different. I’m hopin someone has experience with this and would direct me down the correct path. It would be shipped from Montana—> Arizona, if that has any relevancy.

You’ll have to ship via UPS. However, the store locations won’t accept it. Only terminals and drivers will. Pack your ammo in containers designed to hold ammo, and yes, factory packaging qualifies. Tape a 4” HazMat diamond on one side of your box, and create a prepaid label online. Pack it up and flag down a driver, or pay the $7 fee and schedule a package pickup. I’ve done it multiple times without any issues.

I shipped mine via FedEx, and scheduled a pick up, which didn’t cost me anything. Like Schmoe said, you need to have it packaged appropriately and they’ll come pick it up and shouldn’t be a problem. Cost me I think $20 or something like that.

We just completed the first abbreviated Shoot2Hunt class. This will be a thread where students can give their feedback.

Back on topic:

In this age where skepticism of everything seen, heard, read, told and thought is warranted,
you will prove to yourself what is truth and what is BS;
what works, what doesn't and why.

Oh, and that you suck at shooting

Cliff Gray's review of the class is pretty insightful.

Cliff Gray's review of the class is pretty insightful.

I appreciated the discussion on value vs cost. I’m in agreance with Cliff. Is the course expensive, to most of us that answer is/will be yes. Is the value there, that is ultimately up to the individual person and what they took from the class and if they practice it in the future.

A small personal perspective of mine: If you show up to the class with a decent background in rokslide topics and can put 90%+ of your prone 10 round groups in a 2” group at 100 yards, the first day or two at 100 yards will feel slow. You may not fully listen to everything the instructors say. That is counterproductive and does nothing to improve your shooting skillset (why you came to the class). If you do that, you are removing value from the class and will be frustrated with yourself for not gaining all the knowledge you could’ve

Keep and open mind, trust the process, be in the moment

Haven’t listened to the podcast yet, so maybe not in relation to that.

I like to think I could shoot sub 2” groups all day prior to class. Was I doing it “right” (fundamentals), no. Even a year out I’m walking through the steps in my mind as I practice and catch my self slipping.

Unless someone is a Zen master w perfect fundamentals coming in they should benefit. Also possible that I’m just naive as this was my first formal shooting course.

I listened today.
Seemed a pretty fair assessment.

"Form: Likeable a$$hole".
IMPACT!
haha

 

[philcox]

Agreed, that was certainly a trigger (pun intended) with Form. He was a good sport about it though!
