    SAR gear ?

    A small flashing LED light to stick on top of your rig, maybe a few for your pack. They are cheap. At night these can be a god send walking back to your vehicle. I think they are called balloon lights?

    Greatest sniper during Viet Nam

    Before the movie "Sniper" came out in 1993 most soldiers hated snipers. They ate alone, slept alone and were generally treated as spooky psychos. I doubt its changed much. When Mr. Mawhinney got back he mentioned what he did over there and suddenly nobody would talk to him anymore. So he stopped...

    Preference Points

    I"ve been a successful hunter using point systems for thirty years.. I am also blessed as a land-owner with LOP's so its not that. I just want the word "point" dropped and the word "years" added to regs so there's less mistakes and mishaps. I know of several folks who due to advanced age put in...

    Preference Points

    Worded perfectly....YEARS. Why do they call them points when they should be straight up with us and call them years? I'm 14 years into a antelope tag haven't drawn it yet. Some guy asked to hunt our place and drew his tag in two years. Thats over a decade I've been trying. When you apply, you...

    Best factory ammo for my girlfriend's 6.5 CM

    2950fps with RL26 was my best accuracy. I have gongs set up every hundred yards from 100 to 1000 right from my deck. The cow was with a herd of 60 feeding between my 500 and 600 yard gongs. I've only shot one elk at that distance. I've got a buck and a cow every year for 35 years now, but never...

    Best factory ammo for my girlfriend's 6.5 CM

    Three seasons ago I had all the time in the world to set up my shot. 550 yards with a 143ELDX, the cow elk only took a couple of steps and fell over. I hit her exactly in the heart. It felt like it actually took a long time for the bullet to even get down to her, if she would have taken a step...

    Hit indicators for LR steel

    DJI Mini2, not too fancy for a old guy. Don't see myself needing more out of a drone. Love the thing. From finding newborn calves to lost buck recovery, roof inspections and yes checking my long range targets.-WW

    Hit indicators for LR steel

    Don't know if it would work in your situation but I fly a drone down to my 1000 yard gong and park it on a stump and can watch hits real time on my tablet.-WW

    Gundog First Aid

    Every rig I drive has some rolls of bright colored sticky vet wrap for everybody, but I also carry a disposable skin stapler and lidocane when I'm hunting with the dog. The skin stapler is a worse case deal. It can be a long, long drive to a vet, and I ran into a situation one Friday where I...

    Teaching kids how to look through the scope and understand the reticle.

    You'll see its instinctive....kids naturally know how to use a scope. Just tell them to put the crosshairs on the target, its the loudness that throws kids off. Double up hearing protection with plugs and muffs, eye protection and teach some trigger control and muzzle control and its done...

    Chrono'd my Chrono!

    I'd say both the chronos are doing great. You can easily get that difference just using different lot's of the same factory loads. Weather, altitude, one grain too much, tighter or lighter neck tension, it just goes on and on. I"d be happy just knowing the old optical was doing as good as it...

    Scent control

    I rifle hunt. Its never crossed my mind in 30 years of successful hunting to use any kind of scent be gone. Think about how far away a buck can smell a doe in heat, pretty sure they could smell your breath and tears in your eyes just as well. Work with the wind and don't get upwind and don't...

    Ridgeline shoots poorly and jams

    If it's dangerous why is he even shooting it? Somebody up thread proly should have told him its a time bomb and somebody is going to get killed? I didn't read all the posts I'd have just traded off a accuracy problem. A time bomb is another story all together..my bad.-WW
