Thanks to the shoot2hunt podcast for getting the word out on the molinator shooting bag! This thing is sweet! Looks very well built. @unknownmunitions

Haha almost went with the rokslide but if there is anything multicam black I buy it

I think you guys are trying to build the you tube channel too maybe a video on building various effective positions n the field with just pack and trekking poles woul be a good one

I second this. I’d also like to see some footage on shooting the rokstok vs other stocks. It’s such a different design that while there is some trust built in by who designed the stock, some videos would be helpful showing its benefits side by side. For example, when it’s shouldered does the top of the heel come into contact with the shoulder? And if not does it render the higher heel ineffective. Will it take some undoing of habits built on stocks without a higher heel. Thanks.

Great idea. An educated consumer is a powerful consumer. Function over sponge paint!

Why do you guys feel the need to get into the "hunting influencer"/ YouTube hunting content game? Filming hunts and producing hunting videos has been beat to death by the thousands of wanna be famous insta hunters...you guys are killing it with the gear and gun driven content. I just don't see the need for the hunting videos.

I'm sure someone will say " well just don't watch that stuff" and i won't but I hate to see a good thing turn into what I know it will once the hunting content starts to roll out.

Edit: this is coming from a guy who's been along with the so called "content creator's " on a few hunts. And after seeing what goes into those recorded hunts and the staged b.s., the B roll, the play by plays, interviews, etc....it just all takes away from the purity of the hunt and was such a major turn off from that whole content driven hunting. Now I can't stand the stuff. I want to experience the hunt to the fullest not have a damn camera out at all times.

They have a great version of it, they are the type of people for that space, it makes sense, they have a lot of real, useful information, and they aren’t a commercial… I like what they are putting out

The podcast guest today was super smart and had interesting history. The talk even at the beginning before the gun talk about keeping a company smaller and not chasing money reminded me of the book Small Giants. Talks about companies that had to make the decision to chase money or big contracts and orders or keep the quality. Hard decision to make.

Are you guys trolling us still with this talk about fireforming 6.5 PRC into 6 UM?

Halfway through the new ACE one, just to where you are discussing land and groove width change with the count and surface area, it's getting interesting.

I've avoided the tight bores (236 6mms, 218 22s, etc) because i've seen gunsmiths blame them for jacket failure and earlier pressure. Makes sense to me that it might not be a problem if total bore area/volume is the same or slightly bigger due to narrower lands.

My smith talked to the Ace fellas about the 6 groove VS conventional 4 groove rifling. The 6 groove has slightly less land engagement area on a bullet, not a lot less, but believe it was 10%. I know forcing long heavy bullets through bores of smaller ID does cause more pressure in the chamber as well as to the jacket/core. Once you start getting some fire cracking that's a rough surface applying that extra pressure. I did a krieger 5r 236 bore on my first 6gt, and once I hit 900 ish rounds and started getting some fire cracking, the barrel pressured up quite a bit no matter how clean I had it. It still shot well but had to back the load off near 100fps to keep things happy. My last 4 gt barrels have all been 237 4 grooves and not one has given this problem for the 2300-2500 rounds I put on them before swapping to a new pipe. I may try one of Aces 6 groove 236 bore 6mms, they did also tell me they'd make 237s too, which is my preference.

I will listen to the newer podcasts on my 10hr commute to work tomorrow, but I was alerted by a buddy asking about this new 6mm Ballard cartridge that was discussed on the recent shoot2hunt podcast. I know most things 6mm, but never heard of this one.

Great podcast with ACE guys!!!!

Just finishing up the podcast and heard the answer, 6 Ballard is the style of rifling, not a cartridge.

Great content, but pretty much every topic with Form could really benefit from visual aids.

I get that not everyone wants to be on camera but there are amazing AI filters these days. The YouTube channel Den of Tools guy used to be a big cartoon bear? Maybe just have Form in another room where you guys can point stuff out for the camera? Ski goggles and balaclava?

If the goal is driving YouTube algorithm boosting I doubt many folks want to stream it on YouTube vs a podcast with a static background image.

Appreciate the info/content, just giving some hopefully constructive feedback.

 

[mj23polaris]

Yea the static image podcast on YouTube are pretty gay. I'll watch it and pay attention more when I can actually see the host and maybe the screen when they talk about stuff on the computer or have something on the table they are discussing.

Pssst ... the episodes with Form are for information, not entertainment.

Not everything needs to be infotainment.

And I'm saying that I struggle absorbing the information. They try really hard to be descriptive, but a picture of worth a thousand words...

I'm not asking for scripted drama - just saying that if that information is not easily digested by general populations then it won't increase Shoot2Hunt's visibility on the platform.

That is their stated goal, and the reason they encourage likes, subscribers and comments.

Some people would bitch about nickel night at the brothel.....

 

[swavescatter]

Honestly you guys get pretty defensive about feedback, so I'll take the hint and stop offering it.

Just like the Rokstok thread where OPINIONS were specifically requested, snowflakes got butthurt over anything other than praise. I'm not talking about baseless critiques of design elements like the whole toe angle challenge.

Here you guys are actively putting out social media content and asking for help increasing visibility, but if anyone dares offer feedback in addition to praise we're just choosing beggars, even though many of us are spending thousands of dollars to support the business ventures.

Haha! I’m just giving feedback to your feedback. It's how the game is played.

We could do a lot of things… it’s just time, effort, and money.

In fairness, even Form while talking about stock terminology, commented that it would be easier to show than to describe.

Ultimately I don’t really care. But I might watch a YouTube video in lieu of podcast if I could see helpful visuals.

I didn't hear my name mentioned in regards to the UM rings and where to send my mailing address. Maybe I missed it, happy to send if needed. Just received a set for Christmas, they are pretty slick.

I thought the length of pull discussion was interesting. Watching my two 6'6" friends wrapping them selves around rifles is painful to watch, but they make it work w the same rifles I shoot.
