Did they nuke it?

We all kinda knew this...ATF monitoring

Is reading a public forum really "spying" and abusing power?

-100 points for GOA. That no better than CNN type language. Booooo!
If on company time and paid, yes.
Shouldn't there have to be proof of wrong doing before spending/using assets to monitor Americans?
Who gets to decide what wrong doing is?
Been on here for a while, any members take part in any national news?...

Well in regards to arms I agree… they can regulate alcohol and tobacco to their hearts content though, just knock some letters off, BATFE no more, make them just the BAT.
And this ^^^^^^ bullshit is how the government has grown to it's bloated self. Please please ohh great sugar daddy regulate those things but not the ones that I care about.

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.
