Did you get hacked again??

No……once was enough!


But, it took a while to get the "two step" security program sorted-out this morning so I could log in!


Much to the chagrin of many here……I got it figured out! memtb

To the guys who say "your not man enough" if you suppressor. Make up some more stuff about how you are more macho than the rest of us.

I can't resist commenting here.

If you can be transported via vehicle or horseback to your shooting position, and no hiking/carry is required ……it's your business what you hang on the end of your barrel. Then a "suppressor" can be totally justified.

If you're going to be hiking/hunting several miles per day, possibly in somewhat vertical terrain at altitude……portability in length and weight is at a premium. That's no place for a suppressor.

I also believe that this is no place for a brake!! Yes, ear protection can be worn…..but, is impractical in many hunting situations.

In that day of hunting, you may cover several miles of hunting, and you will likely be in varying terrain….. shooting could be measured in feet to many hundreds of yards. I strongly suspect that no one here has a rifle that recoils so badly that a brake is necessary for one or two shots fired in a hunting scenario! I prefer to hunt without ear plugs, muffs , ect……brakes simply won't work! memtb

I want to hear what's going on in the field. Earplugs don't work for that. Most of my shots are in the 1 and 2 rounds for large game shoot. Range is a different story. I spence a year in Vietnam. A lot of the time in the field with 30 or so ATV's and Tanks. As many as 90+ units in action at one time. Nosies yes. The worest is land mines, or being next to 152mm cannon when they touch it off. I wouldn't walk the field with covered ears. hell you couldn't seek up on anything anyway.
The suppressors I like is the one the Army had. They don't even compared to what we can get across the counter. I wouldn't want to carry one of those Army style suppressors around anyway.
As far as brakes go, I wouldn't be without one on some of my rifles.
