    rifle for beginner/youth- bolt? single shot? other?

    One bonus for break actions is that they’re short. A light recoiling round with a 20 inch barrel will be light and probably more easily-wielded size for a kiddo. They can be reloaded quickly with practice and the vast majority of your encounters are going to be one shot affairs. I would go...

    Man good luck finding one anymore. The 6x is always out of stock!

    Electronic ear plugs

    You can pair regular foamies with over the ear and as long as you’re cranked all the way up you can talk with people without too much issue and then you get double ear pro for shooting a braked rifle.

    In Praise of The Winchester .270. Any good words to say about it ?

    It has the nice benefit of basically every bullet in the caliber pre-2021 was designed specifically around this one cartridge. Makes it easier for factory loads to be accurate, easier to handload, and less likelihood of terminal issues on game since you’re not trying to make a bullet designed...

    Electronic ear plugs

    So in ear plugs are going to function identically when they’re turned off. They work by basically cutting feed-through fast enough that you avoid hearing damage. The electronics don’t somehow reduce the force of outside sounds coming in. So when they’re turned off, they perform to their rated...

    Boots for extra wide feet?

    They’re on the budget side and they don’t have the best durability, but I’ve generally been happy with Merrell wide boots. I’m probably a 3E width. Most 2E’s are fine, but some aren’t and some 4E’s are too wide and some are great. Merrell’s have always fit. Jim Green boots are supposed to be...

    First pair of binoculars recommendation?

    I typically go budget to start, identify my needs once I do the damn thing for a while, then buy to those needs. Lots of idiots with a mountain of credit card debt or daddy’s money love to tell you to buy top tier so they feel better about their poor choices. I have a pair of Vortex diamondback...

    Ballistic Gel Testing

    I would be very interested in seeing this sort of channel on YouTube. Simplemindedfella did this exact sort of testing, but hasn’t done gel testing in years. If you basically replicate his methodology, but change your Knox gel formula to how AZAirgunner does his (a little hydrogen peroxide goes...

    Athlon Scopes

    I know this is from forever ago, but could you compare the Midas hmr and the argos. I’m considering both and want to know if you’d consider the Midas worth the extra $120 I’d need to pay for it and if the quality is worth the extra weight for a hunting rifle. Thanks!
