Purpose built practice rifle
A full day with a 308 can start to get old. I generally take my .22-250, shoot it a bunch and then shoot bigger stuff between sessions. If you’re consistently banging steel, from sitting or kneeling, with your 223 or 22-250 at 3 or 400 and you’re not able to do so with a larger caliber it’s time...- Salmonchaser

Good point, I understand the wear and tear on oneself from larger calibers during load development sessions. I guess I’ll start looking at .223s as well lol. -
RIP Gene Hackman
Mice do not understand economic or celebrity status. The disease was originally diagnosed in the 4-corners area and is common there, but it exists in most states. Peromyscus maniculatus (the deer mouse) is one of the most widely distributed mammals in North America, so we all can encounter it...- BrentD

RIP Gene Hackman
Other Peromyscus can carry it, but in much lesser frequencies. It would be fair to say, from my reading, that the disease is not sustained in any of those species (they include harvest mice, chipmunks, and cottonrats as well (packrats, I disremember)), and that there needs to be a strong...- BrentD

Post Tourniquet application questions.
While holding retractors (residency training, USAF dentists end up as surgical assistants or anesthetists in war time scenarios) for the surgeon doing a breast reconstruction, there was a little arterial bleeder squirting me center mass with every heart beat. Neither the first or second surgeon...- kansasdad

Flatlands to mountain top
Welcome! Everything I have read about those masks is that the breathing restriction can help with cardo but it is much different than true altitude training. Seems to be just another gadget that is not worth it. Also, I know a lot of people into crossfit and I don't think any of them use those...- westbranch

Flatlands to mountain top
100% agree, these masks probably help when training to get body prepared for lower oxygen, but your body also gets used to taking the thing off and resting with "normal" oxygen levels. Elevation does more than just decrease oxygen, your body reacts and recovers different with the atmospheric...- oswald2581

Coach Chris (If I remember the name correctly) had a lot to say about these masks in the past, but the short of it is that their huckster garbage. They don't work.- TheNorthStar

High Altitude Mask For Training?
Based on the evidence, there's no reason to buy a training mask at all. New running shoes are a good purchase for people who want to wear running shoes whether they want to run or not. If someone doesn't have a need for the purchase of new running shoes doing so would be a waste of money for...- Coach Chris

...packing the rest. I got my yeti as a gift. Not sure if I would spring for one on my own... they are pretty handy so maybe.

I've never tried an altitude mask, but I can say that the need for cardio training cannot be over-stated. The better shape you're in the more you'll enjoy it, and the better your chances of success. Besides that, if you aren't accustomed to shooting off your pack or a fallen log, get...- Brian in Montana

High Altitude Mask For Training?
First of all, kudos to everyone who is thinking about this and is doing something about it, whatever you are doing it is better than not training. The mask may not work as advertised but if it makes you work harder and helps you psychologically, why not? Crap, anything that gets me up and...
