    Athlon Optics Rangecraft Chronograph

    Reviews of the new Athlon are now hitting YouTube, including this one that compares it to the earlier Garmin model. Looks like a no-brainer as to which one comes out on top. Athlon vs Garmin

    Radical Prostatectomy

    Update: Overall good news. My biopsy showed just one sample with a Gleason Score of 3+3 or 6. I've read this represents low-risk, slow-growing cancer and is most often monitored with no immediate need for treatment. I meet with my doctor on May 20th to discuss his recommendations. Hopefully...

    How many still tip waiters and waitresses at 20% or more?

    Yes, I've seen comments from those who say they never tip when placing a food order while standing up. I've been following this rule but will leave a tip on the table if employees will be cleaning it after I leave.

    Your most ignored rule

    Rather than backing into parking spaces which seems to be the latest fad, I look for a pull-thru spot farther from the store or business. It makes it just as easy and safe to pull out and I get more exercise. And I park as far away as necessary to find a pull thru spot, often next to a cart...

    How many still tip waiters and waitresses at 20% or more?

    Just curious, since higher tips became common practice soon after COVID as a means for waiters and waitresses to catch up on lost earnings. I continue to tip good service at 20% but wonder if it's still necessary.

    Athlon Optics Rangecraft Chronograph

    Got an email yesterday from Midway that said they're available for $399 but show backorder availability today for $349. I wonder how long it was take for Garmin to drop their price? Still waiting for a new and unbiased owner to post a review on YouTube.

    Lever Guns, what would you choose & why?

    I own a Miroku-made Winchester Model 94, Marlin/Remlin 336, and Henry, all chambered in 30-30. In terms of feel, fit, and finish, the Winchester beats the other two hands down. In fact, I agree with those who say Miroku Winchesters are the best rifles to ever carry the Winchester name. No...

    .25 Creed! But Why?

    No need for it, personally. My Winchester Model 70 chambered in 25-06 has always worked well at bringing down wild game.

    Radical Prostatectomy

    Thank you very much for that feedback. Thankfully, my doctor has performed over 1200 robotic cases, including the first one in my area.

    Radical Prostatectomy

    Thanks for the heads up. Yes, I was given those instructions at the first sign of fever and chills. I started taking antibiotics yesterday and was given a shot of them again right before the biopsy today. I believe I have enough pills to last a couple more days.

    Radical Prostatectomy

    Had my biopsy this morning so I should know my treatment options in a few weeks. I've never smoked pot but suspect I was sucking on that laughing gas tube in much the same way. Inhale deep and exhale slow. Strongly recommend it. Very little pain at all.

    Radical Prostatectomy

    All the comments are very much appreciated. A lot of men die from Prostate Cancer every year when many if not most of them could have been saved had they simply had routine checkups. It seems it's one of those diseases that by the time you wait for the flags to start appearing, beating it is...

    Radical Prostatectomy

    It was an elevated PSA of 4.6 over two checks that got the ball moving for me. I also have a PI-RAD 2 and 3 that I'm not so much worried about but it means more needle samples just to be sure. Thankfully, my doc said I can take laughing gas to lessen the pain, which according to what I've read...

    Radical Prostatectomy

    Anyone had experience with it? An MRI shows a PI-RAD 5 but with everything normal outside the prostate sack. So it appears whatever I have was found early. Having a needle biopsy performed early this week. Just want to be prepared if my doctor recommends removal of my prostate. Get those annual...

    Athlon Optics Rangecraft Chronograph

    These were scheduled to hit store shelves in April for a much lower price that other digital chronographs including the well-known Garmin. Anyone got their hands on one and can offer feedback? TIA

    Anyone else tired of tight groups with sandbags galore?

    As they keep checking their watch to see how long before the feeder goes off. Some will try to defend the approach by claiming it's the "evolution of the sport". IMHO, they might as well sit near a feed trough and wait for cows to show up.

    Scope Ring Honing

    Not an expert at all in this area but it seems lapping scope rings when they're attached to a two-piece base creates more benefit than when attached to a one-piece base. The lapping process itself seems to be an effort to wear away small imperfections in the shape of the rings and alignment of...

    Anyone else tired of tight groups with sandbags galore?

    And never buy more than one box of factory ammo in a given brand and load to try with a new rifle no matter how well that same brand shoots in other rifles.

    Anyone else tired of tight groups with sandbags galore?

    100 yards with just a sandbag under the forearm while shooting from a bench since a forearm rest is all I'll have in the field. I do all my practice shooting at a local shooting range. I'll add a leather V-bag in the rear when I want to lessen the impact of my average shooting skills in an...

    Anyone else tired of tight groups with sandbags galore?

    Y Yes. Federal Fusion 95 grain, Hornady Precision Hunter 90 grain, and Norma Whitetail 100 grain.
