Awesome shooting! I bet you could see the hits on video if you had some tannerite downrange. .

Here are a few more I made.. These two are the first knives I've made for myself. 1/8" D2 and Maple This one I made for a friend of mine. It is currently in Iraq serving along side with him on his 3rd deployment. 3/16" D2 Canvas Micarta .

I finished one more.. .

I recently started making my own knives. I just had a hankering one day to try my hand at knife making, so I did some online research and ordered some steel. Here are the first two knives I've made. D2 and Zebrawood Here is number 3 D2 and Cocobolo Number 4 D2 and Cocobolo...

I stumbled across this article and thought some of you might find it interesting. I did some searching and couldn’t find it so hopefully it isn’t a repost. The Trouble With Long-Range Shooting .

I have a few questions/concerns about the side focus on the Mark 4 scopes. I attempted to properly set the scope up earlier this week while on the range. I started out by adjusting the focus on the eye piece by backing it all the way out, (counter clockwise) pointing it at the sky and then...

My AR has a 1:8 18" barrel and LOVES the 60gr V-MAX bullets. The Black Hills Blue Box molly coated to be exact. Due to expense and unavailibility of Black Hills ammo right now, I've worked up some 60gr V-Max loads and will post the results as soon as I've had a chance to shoot them. I'm...

Ok, I e-mailed Hornady and called Hodgdon. (Hodgdon's website recomends calling instead of e-mailing. They got to my call rather quickly.) I haven't heard back from Hornady yet but the Hodgdon Rep I spoke with said that their load data was perfectly safe for .223 and I should use theirs...

I'm loading some Hornady 60gr V-Max bullets for my AR. I chose to start out with Hodgdon Varget Powder and I'm finding conflicting start and max load info.. According to the Hornady Book the Starting Load is 21.7 and the Max Load is 24.9gr. This load info is also confirmed in a book I bought...

I absolutely agree with you. My origional question was more for conversational reasons than practical application. Since I only have the click values for zero at distance "X", I was curious about the conversion to actual drop at those distances. I've heard people referencing how much a...

The two primary scopes I'm concentrating on are both Leupold Mark 4s. The first is a Mark 4 PR (1" tube) with 1/4" clicks for both elevation and windage. This scope is mounted on my AR and is mostly a varmint/plinking gun. I have "dopes" out to 300 yards and the rifle shoots like a dream out...

Thanks guys! Good info! .

How do I convert my "come ups" to inches of drop at a given range? I've been doing this the "Redneck" way by going out to the range and shooting for zero at each distance. I have not progressed to software yet and at the distances I typically hunt (to 500 yards) this methods works. So if...

I worked on it over the course of several weeks. Work and other obligations kept me from working on it as much as I wanted to but I think it could be done in a single weekend if you didn't have any distractions. .

The colors are "Snow Grey" for the specks and the primary colors are "Magpul Flat Dark Earth" and "AUG Green." Thanks for the compliments everyone! .
