PUTTING TOGETHER A LONG RANGE KIT If you’ve been shooting an AR for years, even something custom you put together, making the jump into precision bolt guns can be jarring. Heading down this road can be as simple as picking up a factory rifle and heading to your first match, but I think you’ll find if you want to pursue this seriously, with training and rapid skill advancement in mind, there are some gear and concepts specific to this type of shooting you’ll want to consider.

A few years ago, I built a little itx computer to run Proxmox on. If you have any interest at all in self hosting services, running a homelab, or just playing around with your network and you have an old computer lying around, it's extremely easy to get started.
Working on a birdNET-Go instance for the new house to get a better idea what's in the area.

I originally ran a VPN on there too, but have since built a proper router and moved the VPN on there. That way, if the server goes down, I can still get in remotely and fix it.

With the vpn in place, you can access all these services remotely without needing to expose them to the outside. Or you can easily setup cloudflare tunnels if you own a domain and route in that way. Self host a blog, a btcpay server, whatever you want.

I consider myself an outdoorsman. I hunt and fish. I camp in subzero weather. I aim to be out there at least 3x as much as the average American. But my youngest always draws me with a phone in my hand and it breaks my heart that she might remember me that way.

Many 2A guys have a culture of losing. You will never see someone from Brady crying that a win was incremental rather than total, because that's exactly how you gain ground and win the war of public sentiment.

These posts always bring out the guys who don't know how to chase down an internal referral, who don't understand how LEAP works, who would rather wallow in self pity than make it happen for themselves.

I've been out of the loop with my move. What have I missed?

I've been too busy with the move to post much lately, but had to pop on to share this killer deal on a compact sleeping pad if you need a cheap one. amzn.to/4ycufHw

If you're not going to shoot in the wind, what's the point? Literally anyone can learn to account for elevation. Wind. Target. Fundamentals.
If you want to get good at long range shooting, don’t pass up shooting on windy days. Learning to gauge wind speed and direction and apply it for a wind hold is the hardest part of long range to learn so I prioritize getting to the range on windy days for the challenge and practice.

We’ve learned a LOT more about Lindsay Clancy’s husband as the trial has played out and women are clocking every tidbit. Patrick Clancy was a man who failed his wife and kids. He didn’t grow up, lead, or take responsibility for his family. He was a man who wanted kids, and who allowed his wife to sacrifice her body to produce them, but then didn’t make sacrifices to care for that body when it needed help as as a result. In the U.S., people heavily chastise women who won’t have kids, but also hang mothers by a noose when they struggle and fail. I think that stops with this case in the court of public opinion.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Patrick Clancy took 12 weeks paternity leave and began working from home following the end of his leave. He was actively involved in parenting, and his wife's medical treatments. media.nbcboston.com/2026/01/Patric… yahoo.com/news/us/articl… masslawyersweekly.com/2026/01/23/lin… bostonglobe.com/2026/07/29/met…

This is a crazy good deal. If you and a buddy or two share one, it’s a very cost effective way to own a Chrono since you generally don’t need one super often.
These chronos are only $399.99 right now.

The story of Cain and Abel warned of this.

These things were such a big step up in chronograph tech that it would be comparable to going directly from a rotary phone to an iPhone.
