    Good idea for a thread, when i first started hunting i loaned a sporterised 6.5x55 M96 from my uncle for a year or more, and missed a couple deer before nailing one. Then when i started as an...

    gadgetman liked post by BobGibson On thread : Best prices on Quantum Pulsar Thermal Devices
    Does anyone know of any person who was charged with a spotlighting offence when they GENUINELY weren't. I think we are reacting to a problem that doesn't exist. If your genuinely not night hunting...

    gadgetman liked post by Spudattack On thread : Suppressor Recoil Reduction Testing???
    Exactly what I have been saying, the same amount of work is done but the time in which it takes is increased. Kiwi Gregs test is flawed in that it measures total work rather than peak force which...

    Thanks for that. It's common to see someone offering technical advice when they clearly have "limited knowledge", but when they suggest people PM them for further info, that deserves comment.

    I think we are missing a key point or two. And its again comparing apples with oranges if we focus purely on sound reduction. Most customers in NZ are buying a suppressor that is a compromise, a...

    Some manufactures with some threads have DIY, self install brakes which means indexing is a breeze :)

    That would of been right years ago. Now that we have electronic ear muffs you can get hearing protection and listen as you hunt, better that normal hearing.
