    Winter/ski jacket recommendations

    After wearing heavy insulated hardshell jackets for most my life, I am now a firm believer in an insulated softshell and a Gore-tex hardshell layering system. It's infinitely more versatile and convenient. My personal favorite is the Arcteryx Atom Hoody, and Arcteryx Alpha hardshell.

    Heel/Foot Pain HELP!

    Stretching and good shoes fixed mine. I wore an older set of boots for way to long because they were comfortable, but the cushion sole had gave up the ghost and gave me plantar fasciitis without me realizing it was the shoe. Once I switched to a different type of shoe that was more supportive...

    So, after everyone quits arguing over nuance and minutiae what have you decided on? :)

    Angle cosine indicator and bubble level reconendations

    If you want to spend the money, and/or absolutely need a level and ACI - more power to you, no arguments here...when I first started long range shooting I had both - however....I don't use either now. The built-in cant indicator between your ears is uncannily accurate, and when I am out in the...

    Rifle Scopes Speed of LPVO vs Red Dot

    I see it like this - even if you're a half second (heck, maybe even a full second) slower with a LPVO on 1x versus a dedicated red dot, having 4x, 6x, or 8x on tap is usually much more useful. I'm rarely clearing houses in Mosul and having quckdraw battles with armed bad guys, but I use a...

    Distance that separates Men from boys

    Exactly. I have seen plenty of people get on steel at 1000 yards after a couple boxes of ammo, but to see someone walk up to the line and smack it on their first and subsequent shots is impressive.

    Always ON red dot

    I have a Sig Romeo 4 and have had zero problems with it, wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. They're pretty affordable, too. I have used plenty of Aimpoints over the years and I would rate the Sig as it's equal. I've had it a couple years and the battery hasn't died yet. The new Sig Romeo 5 is...

    All-around rain gear for PRS shooting

    My two cents: For hot summer rains there is really no way around getting hot and damp in raingear. All the breathable Gore-Tex stuff relies on there being a temperature differential between your body and the outside air to get your hot steamy sweat to permeate through the membrane - if your...

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight 2-10x scope

    What about a 1-6x or 1-8x? My Vortex Razor 1-6x will consistently put rounds on a silhouette type target at 800 yards from a 14.5" 5.56, and 600 yards and in is even easier, with smaller targets, too. If it's truly a hunting or combat style rifle and you're not trying to shoot 1/2 MOA groups at...

    Fieldcraft Here is my field gear. Looking for Opinions.

    I should know better than to post in threads like this - but I will say to all the airsoft haters out there: I have seen a lot of airsofters/milsim guys who are significantly more physically fit and tactically sound than a lot of the overweight armchair commandos I've seen at the gun range...

    Fieldcraft Drones casing property/tresspassing- peeping drone

    Honestly your best option is to try and follow the thing back to its controller. If you're in a rural/more open region, with a little area recon you should be able to get a rough idea of likely areas they might be located and as soon as you hear the thing outside be ready to roll and jump on a...

    How far are you guys getting from mag fed 223 AR's?

    FWIW I have a WarSport 14.5" and using good quality 75gr ammo and a 6x scope, 600 yards on smallish targets is very doable, and 800yds on e-type targets is within reach if there's not too much wind. If you had a 18"+ barrel and a higher magnification scope 1000+ yards would be easy. My personal...

    Range Report Cold bore 500 yards daily

    This is a good thread and has a lot of take-aways from it. While I don't have the luxury of shooting daily, whenever I am able to get out to long range I start my range session by setting up and taking a single cold bore shot at whatever distance seems reasonable for the conditions, record the...

    I need some hunting binos

    I have the Burris Droptine 10x binos. Couldn't be happier with them and they're affordable. I've done a side by side comparison with them and the Vortex Diamondback 10x HD's, and the Burris Droptines are slightly better.

    6.5 Hornady American Gunner

    It shoots great out of my AI AT out to about 800 yards and then it gets a little inconsistent beyond that. Shooting at 10 inch gongs at 1000 yards, one would be high, the next a little low, another low, another high - just too much vertical stringing for my liking. but at shorter distances where...
