Oh, I remember you, Mister...

Sad day... One of the very few people that you can legit say was a pioneer in her career field.

DAMN!!!

Huh... We're Google-AI-Famous... Who'd a thunk it...

Keep an eye on this...

First, welcome aboard. However, better think about that lower, learn about it. It's not a "Gen 2." It's the DPMS G II. They shrunk the receivers down to AR15 size, and made Large Frame guts fit inside. It's a different animal, altogether. Finding all the small parts, and finding any upper parts - gonna be hard. DPMS has been out of business for years...

Bottom Line... Gen X is just gonna tell you to STFU - exactly when you need to be told to STFU...

I understand her dliemna. If she'll hang out with me, I'll fight this fight with her, and help her win... I'm just sayin'...

You have my Envy, brother. That kinda weather is still two months out for me, but it's coming... I can hold on...

Can't get enough of this story - even though the MSM wishes it never happened, and won't talk about it.

Trade ya?...

Told you guys this was gonna break. It just took 1.5 years to break. Call me Clairvoyant. clairvoyant /klâr-voi′ənt/ adjective Having the supposed power to see objects or events that cannot be perceived by the senses. Pertaining to clairvoyance; discerning objects while in a mesmeric state which are not present to the senses. Able to see things that cannot be perceived by the normal senses.

Well, call me then... I'm only down to 101* now, so we're neighbors...

Please, see here. This is all old news. I even named the company that doesn't want to be named now... Eventually, the internet will catch on, and catch up with me. I'm tuned in to this shiit. More than most people know. https://forum.308ar.com/search/?q="White Wolf Capital Management"&quick=1

For the record, everyone now that's talking about this keeps stating "white wolf capital" - the real company that fukked it all up is White Wolf Capital Management. I talked about them years ago, here, when they took over Aero Precision. I'm wondering why everyone is leaving the real name out of it - unless it's all hearsay that they're hearing and reporting, and they don't really know the name of the company...

Here's a vid on all this. Bottom line - this is all old news. I reported on all this awhile ago, and even invited ANYONE from Aero to let me know if any of my information that I stated at that time was incorrect. This thread isn't new news...

Your thermometer is in my backyard right now...

Certainly did!

@Belt Fed, obviously, Bro - you have to be the first one here. I'm just saayin'...

Technology. Rules. Laws. Belt-Feds are legal. It won't be at Fall Shoot 2026. But it's gonna be at Fall Shoot 2027. Mark My Words... Info here: https://limasix.com/product-category/shop/belt-fed-uppers/ Brace yourselves.

Some other beneficial information to shortcut the process... More Rando Thoughts... Learn how to read wind, specifically, reading mirage. Out here in the desert, we don't have that soft prairie grass that blows in the wind, or leafy green trees to blow in the wind - All our plants are hard, stiff, sharp, want to poke or cut you, and don't flex in the wind. Or, it's a cactus. Mirage is about the only way to go for estimating wind direction and speed out here. The good thing is - mirage is everywhere, anywhere that you'll find a temperature variable - which is everywhere. That skill is portable, no matter where you go. Having accurate DOPE on your load is critical. The only positive way to do that is with (not only) the projectile data, but good weather data. Having weather on your phone is good, but it's only reading the nearest weather station to where you are, that it picks up. Not perfect, but plenty good. A Kestrel will give you weather right there where you are standing. It just can't get any better than that. Phone weather works, though. It doesn't suck. For the projectile numbers - Garmin Xero C1 or the new C2. Easiest way in the world to get accurate load/projo data. Plenty of us have them, so we'll meet up sometime and you shoot a batch across one. Practice, practice, practice... Sounds hard to do if you aren't on the range, but it's easier than you think. First, I need to spend more of your money. Get a shot timer that has a programmable/delayed start. There are plenty on Amazon. I have a PACT Club Timer II, and they have a III version out now. Whatever works. You can get a ton of valuable training in with simple things, and 10 rounds of ammo. You could use a sawhorse as a barricade. Folding metal chair as a barricade. Test yourself, first, then define a goal. First round. Set your sawhorse up, timer clipped to your non-firing side front or side pocket, gun loaded, chambered and on Safe, all equipment in hand - and start the delay on the timer... When the beep goes off, set your shooting bag on the sawhorse, gun on bag, acquire your target, and send ONE accurate, on-target round downrange. The timer will stop when it registers that shot. Check your time... Repeat, repeat, repeat, that's practice. My personal goal, no matter what the obstacle or barricade or prop is - 10 seconds. I train to that. I can get the beep, get bag and gun on prop, build a stable position, acquire the target and send the accurate, on-target round, under 10 seconds. You gotta think about it - if you have 4 different shooting positions, and you have 90 seconds per stage, and it takes you 20 seconds to build a stable position and send a round - you're spending 80 of your 90 seconds just setting up and sending one round per position... What if you have 3 targets/distances per position? For all 4 positions? Time will get you... Building a stable position and sending an accurate shot - is the most valuable thing you can train for all this stuff... I kid you not, I've seen people take 45 seconds to send the first shot. 60 seconds to send the first shot... It's painful to watch, because you already know what's going to happen...

This is really good. I'm only about 2/3 through it, but I've seen enough to repost it with confidence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfITSFKZ3Ko The link could not be embedded because www.youtube.com does not allow embedding of that video. ^^^ Gonna have to click the link. YT is being a fukhead again... It's commentary from Jordan Salinas, the guy who fired back with the 5.7, during the Twin Falls, ID In-N-Out shooting...

Probably the biggest match is Accurized AR at Cowtown, the 3rd Saturday of every month. That's the one I shoot the most. There are others out there, as well. Parabellum range in Kingman is the best range in the state, and I just got back from a .22LR match up there last weekend. They have a giant gas gun match up there on Nov 7th and 8th (2 separate matches, 1 per day). I'll be at that one for sure. There's a really decent match at Ben Avery the 1st Saturday of the month, AZ Practical RIfle. There won't be one in Sept, because it's Labor Day, but they'll pick back up.

Best way to start is get into an Open class, or similar, that doesn't have any equipment restrictions. Sounds backwards, but it's the best way to start - no limits on gear or gun. Rear bag is very necessary, and the best one out there is the Armageddon Gear Schmedium bag, with the Heavy fill. You'll use it for more than a rear bag - most of the time, it's the only thing supporting your rifle off some of these props and barricades. Bipod. You'll want one that cants and swivels. Alot of the things you support the bipod from are uneven. The MagPul bipod is the easiest, cheapest way to get both those features, and it doesn't need to be a QD bipod that you take on and off. Something to keep track of your holds for different distances. I userd a wrist coach for a little while, then switched to the Cole-Tac cheat sheets that I mount to my scope tube. You're going to encounter multiple targets (8~12 per stage) sometimes at 5 different distance, shooting from multiple barriers and props. There's alot of movement, so it helps to have your distance holds right there on the gun.

One of the greatest bands of all time. God Speed, Frank.
