    Recoil is massive for me for some reason, I get good results but it makes the preparation harder, zeroing, practice etc. I shot a sika hind at about 400 yards a while back with my mates 6.5x55...

    Shoot to kill and the animals won’t know the difference. Since I bought my PRC earlier this year, I’ve shot 27 deer from 31 shots, from ranges 80m to 560m. The furthest any ran after being shot was...

    I have the 284 for hunting and a 6.5x55 for paper (and the eldms for both), I've always been skeptical about the 6.5 at distance but I was surprised by the numbers. Outside the size of the wound...

    I've reached the conclusion that the differences when shooting similar bullets of similar energy and velocity, of either 6.5mm or 7mm, are inconsequential.... a zero noticeable difference in the...

    hotsoup liked post by Stag On thread : Big Agnes Sleeping Mat - Game Changer
    I have never slept well in the hills as always uncomfortable. Purchased a neo air some years ago thinking that was the solution, it’s a slippery, narrow bloody thing. Still wins on all accounts for...

    Ridgeline, Stoney Creek, Hunters Element, Bushbuck et al. All the same shit with a different label. Avoid disappointment and buy something decent at the get go.

    I don't think the Public Interest Journalisim Fund is the only lever the Govt has over the media - listening to the radio in the workshop I am bombarded by entreaties to get additional covid boosters...

    After their disgusting performance throughout the Waipakihi rd debacle and now this - I really think DOC Turangi are too much Turangi and not enough DOC. They seem to have lost sight of the public...
