    Verizon wireless home internet??? Tired of Cox.

    I wanted to switch but can't. From what I have been told by my IT guy the Verizon system does not play well with some home automation systems. Our eero mesh will not work nor will our camera system. Verizon requires you to use their stuff. I am stuck with cox for now.

    Setting kids up for the shot

    I like the pig saddle or whatever variation you have. I also am a fan of a picatinny rail mounted directly if you have that option. It is even more stable. Bipod on the rear makes it rock solid. One thing we did for my niece as she graduated to the big gun was "blind cartridge" practice. We would have her hold on target and dry fire multiple times to ensure that she had trigger control and wasn't flinching or jerking. Then, we would put an empty case in the rifle and have her go through the process several times. during that we would substitute the empty case for a live round, all the while with her holding on target. She never knew if it was live or a dry fire. She remained rock solid and has never developed a flinching habit. Might not work for all but it worked great for her. She is 2 for 2 with shots on elk at over 490 yds and 530 yds.

    22 youth cow

    She did it again. After very little activity we finally found a shootable cow on day 3. Was on a NASTY road(swore before that I would NEVER drive that road again) I found a nice cow bedded at 490 across the canyon. We watched her for about an hour waiting for her to move to a better position as she was partially blocked. Finally WE moved and had a good opening. Just as we were resituating for the shot the elk chose to get up and start meandering. So began the clown car circus of scrambling to get everything set up. She held 1 moa for a little wind from right to left and let it fly. Cow took a few steps forward behind a tree and disappeared. We watched for awhile and she never came out but my brother said he saw some bushes shaking. So the niece and I got packed up and headed down. My brother has recent surgery and can't walk well so it was just the two of us. Perfect double lung shot. Pretty much DRT. That's her 2nd 500 yd DRT shot in 2 hunts. after a SEVEN HOUR marathon packout our day was done. And so were we. I couldn't even drive back to the cabin I was so tired. We are so proud of her for toughing it out. What an amazing accomplishment. and she never complained once. I am STILL complaining. I hate manzanita.... The ride home....

    between 10 and 15 yds. partly the cause of his itchy trigger finger.

    wounded? barely. the thing didnt bleed more than a drop right where the arrow fell. got more damage running through the trees than he did from the arrow. 3 inches of penetration in the shoulder wont even slow him down let alone kill him. so no, we dis not catch up to him. i only posted the video because it was a cool up close encounter. and a very unfortunate shot placement.

    figure of speech. not LITERALLY bounced. about 3 inches of penetration and bounced out after a few steps of it flopping around in his skin

    Yes, other insurance will "eventually" pay for it. Car is at an impound lot, not a bodyshop...yet. Car is totaled so who knows.

    Optics Planet what a joke

    Except with optics planet their terrible service has nothing to do with covid or shortages. This has been their modus operandi for many many years. If you search their website, they have EVERTYHING you could ever want, yet they have ZERO actually in stock. They don't tell you this until AFTER you try to buy something. They are not a store, they are a broker. They take your order then find it for you....eventually, maybe.
