Re: Old farts in Tucson ?

The senior group that use to shoot out south of Green Valley now meet up around 0700 most Sunday mornings in Rio Rico. The group is around 5-7 guys. There is a makeshift range on FS land at MP 5 Ruby Road where everyone shoots.

Re: Does heat kill food storage items?

I don't think 02 got to them. The mylar bags(multiple) were still sucked down.

Re: Does heat kill food storage items?

I put up a bunch of rice and beans in 2009. Both were packed in mylar w/O2 absorbers and placed in buckets. Rice is fine and cooks up well. Beans got so hard that even soaking 24hrs and cooking in a pressure cooker did not soften them enough for them to be edible. I had to throw them all away.

Re: Looking for DIY target stand ideas

I use a rebar stake and weld a piece or rectangular tubing to it. I can take a bunch of these and a hammer together to the range and pound them in the ground where I want them. They take up alot less room for me and once pounded into the cround, are tipped over if the wind picks up.

Re: Favorite handgun sights and configuration

Ameriglo with green front dot, subdued rear.

Re: Thoughts on AR pistols

I'm using a 10.5" barrel AR pistol topped with an Aimpoint M2. Like another poster, I'm loading it with 64gr Gold Dots.

Re: weapon lights for AR 15

I've purchased a several used in great condition Surefire 962v off the EE on Ar15.com.

Got a great deal on two of those that had issues. Got a RMA from Surefire, sent them back and receiver brand new updated models.

Re: Back packing water filter
