These things sound awesome, but we can't make them because I will eat them. Being an adult sucks.

please make sure it is filtered and not french press


I've read about the lipids or cholesterol being a problem with French press. I don't do it often, but with certain beans it's way better. No worse than me eating fried chicken every few months.

1 cup of coffee (with a tablespoon of butter


Do what?

For me:
8am 16 oz tea (1 green tea bag and 1 dark/smoky bag)
Noon 14 oz coffee, fresh grind usually drip, sometimes French press. Light or dark, depends on what I feel like. The light generally has more caffeine

That's it. On weekends, just coffee or tea around 8 and nothing later.

You need to dry fire everyday (no mag and unloaded). It will help tremendously. Know your trigger feel and get your grip set up you like. Practice everyday and try to squeeze the trigger with minimal movement.



I did this for several months. Still "off" with live rounds. But I know that if I aim 2 inches right and low, I'll hit exactly where I want...with that gun, at least. So to me, I'm good. I know how to hit what I want. There is probably some mechanical or other adjustments that could be made, but if I'm repeatable and hit what I'm trying to, I figure that is the objective.

Is there any logic to getting 1 top notch can for use across 30 cal, 5.56, .270, 6.5? I have all of those rifles. My thought was cheap can for cheap AR, but if I can use it everywhere...

Eh, it's not exactly tasteless. To me it messes up the coffee, but I like it fine in tea which is what I have in the morning anyway. My container (I guess it's Vital Proteins, from Sam's) says 4 tbsp is 18g, how big is your scoop?

Has anyone used any of the Silencer Shop dealers near Nashville? I'm about to get that first one going for the AR. Leaning toward AB A10, open to others. Not going super expensive because the gun itself ain't fancy. If/when I get one for hunting rifle I'll get pickier about weight and such.

ETA: Or a YMH Turbo T3...shopping is fun, I'll probably go somewhere and ask questions.

It does not always matter. One time on public a dude walked up to the tree I was in about an hour after daylight. Told me he lost his flagging and then proceeded to sit in some bushes 50 yds away. ??



I will flash the shite out of someone else because I'm basically always in there first, and if they are still close enough I will talk to them about how close they are and suggest they move farther away. They don't have to, but I don't understand how they would not want to. Some people suck at judging distance, and a light carries really far in dark woods, even sometimes thick ones. I've been thrown off by seeing the light on the farmhouse a mile away before, it just happens to pop through when I'm on a certain hill on my way to a spot.

We have (ok my wife has) a from scratch cinnamon roll that we do every year for Christmas, considering repurposing for a king cake. I guess it would just be different shape and icing, not sure how it could be bad. It rises like crazy though, we might end up with something huge.

dual threat


Yes, but there are miles of skill and speed between a Jayden and a Nuss. We need someone in the better half of that range. I'm good as long as they have good awareness, a quick first step, and aren't as slow as Eli and Peyton.

I require my snakes to be ON THE GROUND, that's a no for me.

Saw 3 as we drove out. The long wait until October begins.

Drove out through some rain for a sit with the boy. First spot taken, second spot works. Ground blind. I thought it was letting up so instead of waiting in the car a bit we rolled out and set up in some sideways stuff. Bubbas nearby are popping off their Saturday freedom rounds. A donkey sounded excited a minute ago. Good times.

Youth weekend in TN, last chance at deer (on public at least). Will drag the 16yo out later, he will object like he has better things to do but he doesn't. Momma says she needs another deer so we gotta give it a shot. I really hope I'm posting later from a ground blind and not with some lame excuse as to why we didn't end up getting out there. Rain has moved past, at least!

Half the time I go there they don't have what I need, and when they do it is some cheap arse version that I know is going to break. But hey, they're super nice and helpful.

Maybe a dumb question, that third round looks smaller, is that for comparison or something else?
Were you expecting a 100% success rate across the tags?
