Get outta here that twangs dead set Aussie. He was probably commiting a crime while recording that speak pipe.

Aussie or kiwi is all the same to us white crackers over here in da States

If im in trouble im an Aussie. If not a kiwi so I guess your right.

I get a separate mulecast, but also understand the logistics of running two podcasts would suck. I want this on a shirt though.

Bryan was hilarious on this week's episode. Oughta have him on again just to tell more stories.

He's probably one of the best storytellers I have ever met. He had my son and me rolling on those long drives through Texas. He is also a good human for a ginger...

Curious to see what Rokslide has to say about this weeks episode with Kenton. I know guys here usually advocate against custom turrets. I do like the idea of the "Military" turret with both yards and mil/MOA.

The military one would be slick for my daughter's rifle. I can give her a range (probably inside 400), she can set it and fire. Then if I want to shoot it I can still run my door through 4Dof.

I see a few upsides to the custom turrets and long, long list of downsides. They work if you only shoot one bullet at one speed at one elevation. I get that they have a program that will convert your yardages based on differing environmental factors. But, guess what? I have that same system on my phone (I actually have three of them, currently). And, I have a turret that I can dial to what that spits out. If I want to get real fancy, I can write the yardages on a card and tape it to my stock for each hunt. Plus, with quick drop, I can do most of the calcs in my head.

The custom turrets and adhesive strips may work for some but a mil (or, heaven forbid, MOA) turret and a tiny bit of math would work better for 90% of they guys out there. It's a solution looking for a problem, especially in the light of modern scopes.

The app that he described that spits out a corrected yardage based on environmentals seemed really convoluted to me. If I'm going through the effort of entering everything I want the actual answer, not some approximate yardage to use.

I like the idea of being able to dial to a range for something like a 300 yard shot that I need to take quickly and then use a solver for a longer shot that I have time to prep for. Of course I could also get good at quick drop and buy a rangefinder with ballistics and not have a problem anymore.

Agreed. The whole system seems like it goes in circles to get to a point that could be arrived at via a simple, straight line.

It's an outdated system that had it's place before the age of ballistic solvers in our hands or built into a rangefinder.

Gunwerks has been a huge advocate of yardage turrets. The Revic rangefinders calculate the shoot to distance. So, you can just dial your turret to that yardage. I guess the app/calculator gives the shoot to yardage depending on enviromental's.... be interesting to try it.

I've heard the Gunwerks guys talk about it before and some of the stuff they said makes sense. The rangefinder giving a shoot to distance is key in my opinion. Then if your buddy or guide says he moved 50 yards one way it's easy to correct.

I'm not a yardage tape guy. Mostly because the CDS solution and many others like it got sold to the ignorant as a shortcut so they didnt' have to learn anything about ballistics and that shit rubs me the wrong way. That said, if one understands things change within a given ballistic solution as inputs change AND doesn't have a RF with on board ballistics, a yardage turret seems significantly preferable over trying to consult an app, kestrel, or dope card when time is of the essence at responsible ranges (prob under 400 yards for most).

That said, ballistic RF have gotten pretty darn affordable..

Its a bit of trial and error to get the formatting right but I've made paper strips in excel (or similar spread sheet software) at times for various scopes with both yardage marks and moa/mil ticks (whichever is relevant to the scope) for my common conditions and then just tapped them onto the turret. Spin quickly to the yardage for shot distances / conditions that warrant that and use the tick marks for the shots that merit a solver.
