Re: Spent 2.5 years away. Man, I missed it!

Ha! I don't know. I've spent the majority of my powerlifting career training barefoot and deadlifting with a "sumo" stance. I kind of reflexively throw things *away* from my feet because the alternative means crushed toes.

Re: Unarmed Woman Executed by Cop On Her Way to Work Over Alleged Speeding Ticket

So now the question is whether or not she posed more of a threat than a guy with a knife in a wheelchair.

Re: Spent 2.5 years away. Man, I missed it!

What kind of fab work do you do? I started the business as general welding and machining. I've since added 3D plasma and some other capabilities to the shop. In the meantime I branched out and got my contractor's license and the bulk of the work we do involves erecting shade structures. Turns out i...

Re: Spent 2.5 years away. Man, I missed it!

Glad to be back! Thanks for the welcome! I'm not competing in powerlifting right now. Took a soft retirement in '16 after winning a title at 140kg. I'm still lifting fairly heavy, though, just not training for anything in specific. My most recent major accomplishment was training for and carrying th...

Spent 2.5 years away. Man, I missed it!

Changes in work and life took me away from shooting (aside from hunting a couple times) for the better part of 3 years. Yesterday I broke the "dry spell" and had a chance to get out to PRGC and do some proper shooting. Observations: * Marksmanship is very much a perishable skill. I need mo...

Re: 30 cal bullets

I just picked up 1k of these for subsonic loads:

Lapua 220gr HPBT "Scenar-L"

I recognize that this would really be an excellent LRPS bullet, but the price point ($.26/ea) was attractive.

Re: Another "good Shoot"???

I just saw this video last night. Nobody in this interaction is likable at all. Whether or not the original shots were justified in terms of self-defense is something I don't know, but the whole encounter and provocation could and should have been avoided. Every single person in the video (including...

Re: Dove hunting

Opening weekend was pretty sparse for me. I might try somewhere out west since I'm working over there this afternoon, but my normal hunting ground has been disappointing so far in comparison to last year when I limited or nearly limited every time I went out.

Re: New forums... welcome!

So I guess I have to ask: What actually happened to AZS?
