at my kids school some of the students wear ear protection like you'd wear at a range.

she says its because they get "overstimulated" by noisy environments.

when I went to school that wasn't a thing.


Of course it was. Some kids were just struggling and didn’t know why or what to do ...

Sharks are easy. Just punch them in the nose.


That's the colloquial advice but several people, who do not have names or details, have told me that eye gouging is far more effective, especially when in the jaws of a shark.

What do you guys think, serrated Tasman or plain edge Salt 2 for ...

Sharks attack more people in the USA every year than coyotes. This thread is now about how to defend ourselves from sharks. I recommend a mix of ju jitsu and vegetable juicing.

I wouldn't say sharks are easy. Back in 2008, a great white ...

Firearms.

Older generations complaining about younger generations is as old as time. Socrates did such 2400 years ago, and if you didn't know it was him you'd swear it was a more modern quote. Things I have learned on my nearly 45 years on the planet...

I'm a Xennial. Not gen x, not millennial. I grew up ...

No, the Government did not give those rights. As Americans we recognize those as unalienable rights. The Government is supposed to protect those rights and has no Constitutional authority to take them away. Those who try to do so are actually anti American and are attacking our nation from ...

Just make sure you appleseed the edge and a scandi should be plenty strong! Easier said than done, but I tend to have that kind of edge by going back and forth on my stones and not keeping a consistent angle. Been working on that, but sometimes you want that type of edge.

Have you looked at Microtech's Ram-Lock? It is similar to your design. It uses a square-ish steel block, engaged via a coil spring (no omega springs), to wedge between the blade tang and steel liners. No "locking block" at all.

I've never owned or handled a Microtech, so I don't know how well it ...

I am almost twice your age and that last paragraph you typed is the absolute thing I see with these newer generations. Nobody cares, no common courtesy.

I personally think these kids coming out of high-school now, need 4 years in our military and even with that, it's still a maybe.


And ...

What are your thoughts on the Platypus? I know it runs on glock mags but that's about it. Haven't done much research.


It's amazing. Zero failures of any kind, with oem glock or magpul mags. Smooth action, pretty tightly fit as well. It was well worth the cost. I had problems with the stock 2 ...

Last one is actually my 4.5" PDP full size in od/fde but I don't have a picture of it yet. However, I got my Prodigy, and both Tisas doublestacks right before so it. counts!

I bought a 4max Scout years ago now, and loved it. Bought a 2nd when GSM bought cold steel because I was worried the brand would go away after a short while. I spent around $75-80 each. I felt they were a great deal. Still do. Now I see I can get one for FORTY DOLLARS. $40 at midway. Like...how ...

Placebo effect is very real. Grounding or earthing yourself literally has no effect on the human body. What likely may happen however is you will get electrocuted during a lightning storm if you did the grounding "correctly".

I'm sorry, but it's pure pseudo science and has no real world benefit ...

Me, too. I like outdoor shooting. Right now my go-to locations are well over 100 degrees. I have two young guys who want to go out, one recently finished building an AR, and the other is picking up his new HK next week. Either they'll have to commit to getting up REALLY early, or we'll have to ...

If it adds to your enjoyment, then it’s the right thing to do!


More shooting would increase my enjoyment, for sure! I have an outdoor range close to me, just haven't decided to buy a membership yet. Plus, with the south being the south, and it being summer time, I prefer going to an indoor ...

I think the recording of every shot comes from two worlds. The sniper needs log each shot to know how the rifle will perform under every condition. The rifle competitor needs to know how many shots each barrel has through it so they know when to replace the barrel and maintain peak accuracy ...

Yeah, I do up until I forget lol.....
Most every rifle listed on Snipers Hide will have a round count listed. Some probably true, some probably not.
Imo, it's your gun, do whatever ya want.
Glad you made this thread, for whatever reason, it reminded me that I need to clean my 1944 M1
& I've no ...

Nope. Counting rounds is a newfangled fad.

Back when I starting shooting, before many here were even born, when we really USED our guns for chores like putting dinosaur meat on the table and protecting ourselves from roaming Australopithecus hordes, you'd be laughed right out of the cave if ...

Saw a post on another forum and I figured I'd ask here. How many of you keep round counts on your firearms? I do. I have a list on my phone, and when I'm shooting I will enter the rounds into the list so I know at a glance how many rounds have gone through a weapon, and i also enter any parts ...
