I am familiar with it but never used it.

For the past couple of months I have been fortunate enough to use a Meopta MeoStar 1-6 scope. Meopta's MeoStar spotting scope is highly regarded but their rifle scopes do not get much fanfare. I can't speak to other Meopta scopes but the MeoStar 1-6 is nice.

Wow. The barrel nut can be on there pretty tight. Mine was really snug but I was able to get it to break free

I have the Midwest industries one. Actual have an extra one also

For the pistol or rifle? I have one for the pistol.

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it.

I have. It helps. Generally I only wear clear glasses when shooting. I just like the consistency of it under varied lighting conditions and it’s also what i would be wearing if I’m shooting at night.

It does help tremendously but it only gives you a more defined aiming point and all the other fundamentals of marksman can’t be neglected. For those with an astigmatism, the dot will starburst or distort but with a target focused approach it still provides a much more defined aiming point compared to a blurry front sight.

It helps tremendously

FOR years I have been very dismissive of pistol caliber carbine’s. I was of the opinion that if I was going to have something shoulder fired it needed to be of a rifle caliber. The only purpose for a pistol caliber carbine was for competition purposes. I’ve begun to reevaluate my opinion. They can be out right fun and the pistol versions offer a great deal of portability for a shoulder fired gun. I recently purchased a CZ scorpion and I am really enjoying it.

I may have missed it but what distance.

Shotgun for maximum numbers faster. Allows for easy shots on squirrels that are running and ability to take multiple squirrels from one tree more easily. I always used a 12 gauge with #6. As long as you don't shoot them close no issue with meat loss. For pure fun and loss of no meat, .22 head shots. I have not used a shotgun for squirrels in years and prefer a .22 but I am not going for my limit in the shortest amount of time either.

Thanks. As a law-enforcement trainer for a major agency and involved in procurement, I’m always looking at different guns. My department was approached by them and they provided several copies to test. Whenever I have a gun like that I usually end up using it as a training and demo gun and often they can be subjected to a significant number of rounds. I do think they are a little overpriced but if their gun has a particular feature set that a person likes then I’ve come to the conclusion that they are a viable option. This is especially true for a person that does not want to build their own gun or invest in the tools necessary to do so. Agency and individual officer pricing makes it more attractive.

For the past few months I’ve had the opportunity to handle and shoot a few different Head Down Firearms rifles. Initially I was very dismissive of their rifles just because the AR market is so saturated. The more I handle them though, the more I begin to appreciate their attention to detail. They do a very good job of sourcing good components and assembling them

Either option will work but in my experience the pressure pad is going to be more consistent. I find that to be true for myself and for most of those I have trained. Typically those that are using a tail cap or some type of pistol mounted light on the rifle end up not being able to turn the light On or off as quickly and efficiently as they would like. Those deficiencies typically don’t come up when practicing at home or even while utilizing the light for low light searching techniques. It occurs when the rifle is being run at speed while performing movement, cover, and manipulation drills.

For the past few months I have been using The Last Stand target stand and holder. I generally use it for pistol at distance and rifle beyond 100 yards. It is a very lightweight and portable system. You can purchase the components individually or in kits. I got a couple kits and multiple hangers from Action Target for use at work. The system has been around for years but I never gave it any attention thinking it would not be very durable. I was wrong and glad I gave it a try.

I’m not participating in the crisis and have been on spring break vacation in Gatlinburg. Sales appear to be brisk at Smokey mountain knife works. I did pick up some .22 ammo but not out of need but due to the incredible price.

Thanks guys.

Several years ago I made a homemade bullet trap for use with my air rifle in the backyard. I was not making videos at the time. Now that I am, figured I would make one of the trap and share the info.

Most new shooters I meet have no idea which eye is their dominant eye. I suspect most people in general do not know which eye is dominant. This is most likely due to them having never had a reason to know it. For a shooter eye dominance is an important thing. I have always used the Miles or Porta Tests to determine eye dominance but whenever I have a paper towel roll handy, it has become my preferred method. Keeps me form having to make sure they hold their hands correctly.

I use an ILF recurve at 48.5 pounds and use Easton FMJ arrows. I get mine from 3 Rivers Archery with feather vanes. I have had real good luck with them. My particular spine and length will probably not work for you as I have 150 gr. field points and broad heads in conjunction with a brass insert for a higher FOC. You can always adjust your spine and arrow length for your set up. It does make for a quiet set up. I have linked a video showing my set-up. It is toward the end of the video. If you have any questions just let me know.

Hey Hipower, you can always get a 43X milled for the Holosun 407K/507K or wait until Trijicon releases their compact optic. I am still new to the red dot and night vision but most of the guys I work with leave things in manual on dot intensity. It is set brighter than desired under night vision but if you have to go to white light it is still bright enough to see.

Good choice. I’ve seen more aimpoints used hard over the years than any other optics. It should serve you well.

Recently I have been using Streamlight's TLR-7A compact weapon light. I like it. I am quickly becoming a fan of compact lights even on full size guns. They make for a smaller overall package. As technology improves we will see brighter and longer burn time compact lights. While I do prefer to have as much light as I can get out of my weapon lights, the 500 lumens of the TLR-7A is sufficient.

I will echo the responses for M-Pro 7. It works well and no smell. I switched to it years ago and recently switched my agency over to it. There is no smell and it does not leave your hands feeling like they have chemicals on them.
