Well, I didn't actually "hear" it but read it on a different forum I was looking at. Over on long range hunting.

Apparently there are some hunters and guides/outfitters who truly believe there is taboo with a 7mm bullet and that this diameter has some inherent flaw and is #1 in losing game.

ive heard that several times from a couple of different hunters and for a long time somwhat believed it. i still believe it but not because there is something wrong with the bullet but something wrong with the people who buy them. seems that alot of people just want to get a gun to go shoot/hunt with and they know of 2 guns a 30-06 or they can get the bad to the bone 7 mag. they they take them out there with the cheapest box of bullets they can buy and shoot at a paper plate at 50 yards and if they hit the plate then its good enough to hunt with since a deer is bigger than that play ya know. they they think since they got that big bad 7 mag they can kill deer at 1000 yds and they start shooting.

no, really, he said 5.56MM was a MUCH better stopper than .223 rem

probably the best one ive heard lately was a leo at the gun store. he had his 8-10 yr old with him and there was a 50bmg barret on the counter. he was telling his son how bad that rifle was. he told the boy if the bullet just gets close to you the shock from it can kill you. i just shook my head. the boy then asked what the thing on the end of the barrel was for he said thats so it doesn kick so hard that it breaks your arm and if you stand beside the gun when someone shoots it all the pressure coming out the sides of it can kill you.

Sometimes fathers tell their children things more to humor themselves or for protection. Of course this guy could have just been ignorant.

But, as for me, I know I tell my kids things to prevent them from doing things I don't want them to do. Case in point, my daughter will be 16 early next year. She's gone to some school dances, prom, etc. I tell her that if she thinks about kissing a boy, just remember, he brushes his teeth about half as many times as she does. Then I show them pictures of gingivitis, and disgusting teeth, or an oral surgery on youtube due to poor dental care. That seems to turn on a red warning light.

BTW, the look on her and her friend's faces when telling them about the lack of teeth brushing is priceless, since they are so lazy about it themselves. My kids brush 3x/day when I police them. Otherwise, they'd probably go a day or so, which is disgusting.

there was a guy who purchased a 12 gauge pistol gripped home defense shot gun from my local dealer. About a week later, came to the shop equipped with stitches and a HUGE black, green, red and brown right cheek and eye. He complained to my dealer that the gun kicked WAY to much, and wanted to trade it in on a smaller gauge. He also DEMANDED that the dealer give him better instuction on how to "aim" the shotgun and whether he should have positioned the gun more in the center of his face so he could use BOTH eyes for "aiming"

Now on to “the” issue, elevation affected by wind blowing over certain terrain features. I believe that this gets a lot of people in the field simply because they just don’t realize that it is happening. The simplest example is to shoot down a canyon from the head with a head wind…a common midmorning occurrence. As the wind blows up the canyon life is normal but when it reaches the end it has to go somewhere. The only place for the wind to go is out by going up. If you are shooting across this effect it will lift the bullet as the bullet flies across this wind blowing up the face. How much lift becomes a matter of the angle of the face, velocity of the wind & the distance the effect is in place. If you will look at the diagram below we have a flat canyon bottom with a 45 degree face at the head end for the wind to blow into. We are shooting level out to a 600 yard target in a 10 mph headwind. If the 45 degree distance is ½ of our 600 yard shot, then 300 yards of the shot is affected by a .7 value 10 mph lift. It has the same values and windage but applied to elevation. The wind has in this case pushed our bullet up and we need to back off our elevation accordingly.

I agree with you with a limitation.

I think the domain belongs completely to Hotsh#t.

Vapo, I had to stop and think twice about what the ARPF was...

Don't remember when my last post in the PF was, but I think I wrote off that Charlie Foxtrot in 06 or 07!

Entertaining, though, in a way.

aww Donnie Queen isn't that bad.. no one takes anything he says seriously...

except himself, Sponge WOW and maybe Colt 45...

besides, the PF can help one deal with the dysfunction in their lives at home or work.. knowing it really isn't that bad on second thought...
