Finding a wife

Most women today are ungodly fucked up. It's why marriage today between the ages of 20 to 30 year olds is DOWN OVER 63% of what it was in the 70's. Men today aren't walking away from marriage, they're RUNNING away. Dating as well.

There is nothing in it for them, except for financial ruin if it doesn't work out..... Which is why 50% of marriages today end up in the shitter within the first 7 years. That's almost as bad as playing Russian roulette with 5 out of 6 chambers loaded..... And all for what? A little stink finger twice a week? Spare me.

Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

Best I can tell, the Garmins do as good a job of measuring muzzle velocity as most anything. I believe they interpolate a MV from measuring in front of the muzzle because they can't measure right at the muzzle.

To investigate, I ran a 20 round test on an Oehler 35P with a 9' spacing. That gives velocity at the middle screen. I sandwiched the middle screen with a couple of Garmins.

I put the setup and data below.

I don't trust any chronograph for better than about .1% - 3 fps on a 3,000 fps shot. I think even that is optimistic. That is my one gripe with the Garmin, it reports to the 1/10 of a fps. I don't think it is that accurate so why not have the option to round to the nearest whole fps?

So, one could argue the point is "if the Garmin measures at it's location and they tell you to place it 5" - 15" behind the muzzle, how much velocity would be lost in that distance from the muzzle?

Personally, I don't think it matters.

Nice test!
What was the distance the Oehler Cronograph was from the muzzle?
It is dificult to say from the picture, but it seems like around 6 feet (2 meters)?

“Texas Plinking” 1 MOA/1K Yard Challenge Videos

I’ve been watching the 1K 1MoA the whole time it’s been running and absolutely love it. For all the reasons above and already stated. One thing I see repeatedly is that almost no one seems to dial for wind. From what I’ve seen there is no serious time constraint for your shoot in the challenge, why do people hold over, in the face wind conditions that seen to prevail on that range? It just makes sense to me, from watching show, you’d want to aim centre on the plate improve chance of seeing the splash with the full field of view of the eye piece? Would love to hear perspectives on that.

I’m in Australia and shoot out to 900m/985yds with a 223AI and very tempted to get reach out to Brandon and see if he could find a slot for me this year. Haven’t been to US and would absolutely love a chance to get over with my own gear and run this challenge and any other competitions I could.

Is the vision forend colour matched to the thumb hole skins or are they painted also?
Looks like a very close match if it’s just the forend that has been painted.

Here’s the thing- DOGE isn’t firing “unproductive” people. They’re firing as many people as they can with 0 thought behind it. Elon is just a really fucking weird dude who wants to remain relevant at all costs.
76% of Americans support DODE,

You must be upset about defunding DEI.

Modacam B14R barrel or Vudoo/RimX?

I recently re barreled a T1x, in hindsight I think I should've just gone for a Vudoo.

You don't hear about too many people customizing Bergaras, it seems most just jump straight to a Vudoo/RimX.
The only rifle you seem to see regularly customized is the CZ457 and I think that's because they have a track record of being reliable and are fairly easy to rebarrel with the prefit options.

I'm not usually one to just do what everyone else does, but the headaches I've had with my T1x makes me think the thousands of other people before me have got it right.

Carl Thomas Dean, Dolly Parton's ultra-private husband, has died at the age of 82.

Dean married the country legend in 1966 but eschewed the spotlight. He never attended public events with his wife, and the singer shared only a handful of photos of him over the years.

Parton shared the news of her longtime spouse's death via Instagram on Monday, March 3. His cause of death was not immediately announced.

"Carl Dean, husband of Dolly Parton, passed away March 3rd in Nashville at the age of 82. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending. He is survived by his siblings Sandra and Donnie," the post read.

"Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can't do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy," Parton's post continued. "The family asks for privacy during this difficult time."

Dean was born in Nashville, Tenn., in 1942. He was one of three children born to Virginia "Ginny" Bates Dean and Edgar “Ed” Henry Dean. Parton shared in her 1994 book Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business that Dean was close to his grandmother Minnie Bates,

Pin and weld suppressor?

Sbr or pistol it. Only reason I'd pin weld a can is if you can't have sbr or large frame pistol in a people's republic state.

It's really annoying to not be able to change gas block, handguard, barrel nut etc without dealing with the pin weld. Hell, sometimes it's nice to run a different suppressor. Fuck the 16 inch arbitrary length and keep some flexibility with a brace or sbr if at all possible.
