DIY chamber flags. Got the idea to use nylon weed trimmer string and heat shrink tubing from another Redditor. Modeled and printed a few batches of these tags to go on them. Stopped the print about halfway through to change colors, and then back again at the end.2yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/functionalprint

Hey all! New tech KF0JRT. Bought a Feng UVS9+ and am finding the hard way that I just can’t talk to anybody. I live in a small farming town and any active repeater is 25 to 30 miles away. Is it worth looking for a more powerful HT connected to a bigger antenna, or should I skip right to 50W mobile?2yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/amateurradio
Please help in identifying this piece of equipment. it was included with some radio gear I bought on eBay, and I’m not sure if I need to use it or not.1yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/amateurradio
New be question: taking my new RPR Rimfire 22 out to get it zeroed today. Did a rough zero looking down the bore with the rifle locked into a Lead Sled. Was going to zero at 25 yards but my Arken SH4 elevation is bottoming out right as I got the reticle on bullseye. Am I trying to zero too close?2yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/longrange
Sorry if this has been asked 100 times, but I searched the sub and couldn’t find an answer. Getting into precision 22LR. I’ve heard great things about this SH4 scope. Says minimum parallax is 25 yards. I shoot a wide variety of distances. Any reason I should be concerned about not having 10 yrds?2yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/longrange
After four solid nights of hauling bio waste clear out to Don‘s Inheritance (what in the hell is Don doing with all of it?), it’s finally time to go home. It’s gonna take me most of the trip to scrub the smell out of my cargo hold.3yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/EliteDangerous

If you thought about trying Remington Thunderbolt because it’s so cheap, I would think again. After just one range session and about hundred rounds through each of my guns, I ended up having to knockout two big chunks of lead from the barrels.

Do NOT use acetone to clean your print bed. It took off the PLA residue, but unfortunately also took away the texture in that whole section. Looks like I’ll be placing an order for a replacement bed.3yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/ender3

Could I use RG6 AS the antenna? Putting together my first HF ham shack and I’m looking at homebrew antenna ideas.

Perfect Sunday morning. Prone practice. Set up the KYL at 25 yards and about seven steel targets ranging from 2 inches to 5 inches at 50, 75 and 100 yards. Just had some fun planking with my oldest daughter and I even managed to hit the 1 inch target at 100 yards a couple of times.1yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/22lr

Trying some different ammo types in my new Ruger precision rimfire. Today was CCI Standard and Federal Automatch at 25 yards. The Federal shot pretty well, but the CCI just seems to group tighter. I’ll have to try again on another day as well. We had 21MPH winds that kept changing direction.2yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/longrange
This is probably a longshot, but does this detent look familiar to anyone? I found it on the floor near my gun safe and I’m worried it may have come from one of my firearms.

OK. Been freaking out this weekend about the upcoming brace ruling. How are you guys dealing with this impending ATF Fuckery?

OK, so for everything I love about my SC, it’s just not comfortable enough for me to shoot at the range on a regular basis. I think I’m going to pick up the SFT from Battle Hawk.

What distance are you guys zeroing your red dots at? Got mine roughly zeroed in with a boresighter at 25 yards, but it CQB distances the holdover seems really high. I’m used to running red dots on a pistol where at a few feet away the holdover is much less. Height/bore is a lot greater w/ the Bog.2yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/GrandPowerStribog

I had some pretty severe leading issues with Remington Thunderbolts on two guns so I bought some Aguila super extra copper jacketed rounds.

First family range day with my SC! We had a great time, but I’m a little frustrated. I used the G-Sight to zero my Holosun at 10 yards the other day, but I shot consistently 2-3 inches low all day at 15-25 yards. Is it an error in my calibration, or a new shooter/operator error?2yr ⋅ Father_Togwood ⋅ r/canik

Ok... transmitting on a 20 M dipole and things are going great. Went down to 40m on the same antenna and fried this GFCI outlet in another room.

Hey all. Looking to get into precision rimfire. Going to pick up a Ruger Precision rifle and was looking at this Arken SH4. Minimum parallax adjustment is 25 yards. Is that suitable for NRL22 use?

Got my Holosun mounted last night, and I’m noticing some defects around the edge of the glass. Is this kind of stuff normal, or should I see about getting a warranty replacement?

Can anybody think of a reason why these wouldn’t work on a bog? I know it comes with flip-up sights already, but I want to put a red dot on there and have the possibility of co-witness.

This is a total newbie question. I zeroed my Ruger Precision Rimfire at 25 yards and it seems like ballistics are telling me that the round will be rising 0.14MILS at 50 yards.

Ok. I’ve never purchased an AR so I don’t know the market. Am I ok to pass on this knowing they go for this price often, or is this too good to pass up?
