    Reloading Room Lighting

    I built a gun bench about a year ago in my unfinished basement. It’s pretty dark but it has been okay for just basic cleaning and such. I designed the bench with intention of starting to reload for my 6.5 Creedmoor and probably will spend my Christmas bonus check on equipment. I bought an 8ft...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon riflescope review thanks to Doug at Cameraland

    Doug and Neil at Camera Land are who hooked me up with my Helos BTR. Great guys to deal with! I haven’t got many rounds through it yet but so far I am happy. I would like to do a tracking test though, hopefully it will pass that!

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    So I just got my Helos BTR 6-24x50 in the mail. Opened it up at the shop and the first thing my brother said as I opened the box was “Dang, that looks fancy!” And he wasn’t wrong! It was excellently packaged. Was pleasantly surprised to find out that it came with a set of flip up caps already on...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    Got my new 5-25x50 FFP in last night. WOW. Just picking it up and looking at things in the distance, it already seems leaps and bounds better than my Gen 1! The turrets feel awesome and a true zero stop is something I have always regretted not having. Can’t wait to get it mounted up and shoot...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    I got mine from midway, really wasn’t looking for it but was scrolling through midway and saw them in stock and decided I wanted it. Ordered it Thursday of last week. Sold my 6-24 today. EDIT: I just checked and midway still shows them in stock in Mil and MOA

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    My 5-25 should come in today, should be able to take it out Sunday and stretch it and my 6.5 Creed out to 8-900 yards!

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    Currently looking for a good FFP scope to put on my Kidd 10/22 to shoot my local 10/22 match with. I am debating between the Helos BTR and Ares BTR. I know the Ares has zerostop and that is very appealing, but is there any other major differences? Does the Helos have locking turrets? Thought I...

    PRS Dry Fire Prep

    About to go do a little practice now! Mostly just getting in and out of certain positions, and just seeing how different sitting, kneeling, standing positions feel. I just ordered a SAP sling and Weibad Pump Pillow(been meaning to for some time, just finally had this as a real good reason!) so...

    PRS Dry Fire Prep

    I am fully prepared to take last place! Lol! Loving all the advice, really giving me a good direction to go in. I downloaded a shot timer app on my phone, start with some 10 shot drills on a single target. 120 seconds maybe? Or would a shorter time restraint be better? Try doing that in...

    PRS Dry Fire Prep

    I NEED THAT I.O.T.A.!! Where does one fine one tho? I have a Vortex PST 6-24x50. A quick google search and all I could find were reviews, no place that had em for sale. That thread was from 2013, I wasn’t sure if I could still contact that guy through that email?

    PRS Dry Fire Prep

    Okay, that Would probably work! I don’t have any shooting bags, my buddy is gonna let me use his, I could stuff a hoodie in a draw string bag and kinda use that to mimic a medium/bigger size bag to help!

    Cold Weather Shooting Gear?

    Lotta solid advice given hear. Almost has me looking forward to some of those extreme condition days! Sounds like what it boils down to is layer up(which is always rule number 1 in the cold), stay out of the wind(another obvious) and then after that, just get out and shoot because, I’m not gonna...

    Cold Weather Shooting Gear?

    I have looked at the Arc’tyrex stuff before. Man it’s just awful pricey. The sleeping bag/tarp idea sounds like a good idea. As for the get tougher comment, I take no offense to it and agree. As a farmer I work out in cold/wet/snowing conditions also. Climatization is a big deal, and when the...

    Cold Weather Shooting Gear?

    So I have been slowly working my way into long range stuff for about a year now. Unfortunately, due to farming being my occupation, I don’t get a lot of time to shoot in the spring and fall when conditions are fair. Winter is my best opportunity to shoot a lot since we are slow and the crops are...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Helos BTR?

    Looks like a nice scope for the money! Very tempting to pick one up myself.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Helos BTR?

    Post em up on this thread! I'm sure others would like to see them! It seems like a good fit for my 10/22 build for the money. A zero stop would be awesome, but I understand at that price point you are giving up some of those luxuries. The eye box getting tight on my PST really frustrates me. I...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Helos BTR?

    Looking at an Athlon Helos BTR 6-24FFP to top off my 10/22 build. Can't find any good reviews on one from a reliable source tho. Anyone on here have one? Opinions? On the reviews on amazon a lot of people compare it to the Gen I PST, is this a good comparison? I have a gen I pst and really get...
