The "I love food" collar Peanut has on is awesome.

Looks fun. Wish there was an division or competition where it was more traditional gear with the only cartridges allowed were those with a power factor like 7-08, 308win, 270win, 30-06, and maybe some 6.5's. No tripods, bipods, bags and such just rifle sling and improvised rests. Something more akin to a light hunting setup competition.

Whoa, brother, you were hunting dinosaurs? I had no idea; very cool

I love those UV SPF shirts! i hate sunscreen as its oily and gets all over everything( and can ruin some surfaces) and since i discovered those sun proof shirts i havent looked back!

Great vid, I am pretty active with run and gun events in texas and was considering changing up some gear. I picked up a 6arc minifix last month when tag released it. Im still shooting 105g factory ammo and collecting brass for handloads. I got hits at 1100 yards (14 mils of drop with 100 yard zero) this past week, had some wind (2 mils) but definitely consistent at 800 yards and closer. Shooting off a fatboy tripod with the arca rail makes the rifle feel like a heavy bench gun so that helped. I have my dope sheet set pretty well so Ill start working off of sandbags in the next few weekends. I am running a vudu 5-25 FFP and I will say that it is too much magnification for shooting this cartridge but great for glassing. I may move back down to a 3-18 with an moa reticle because my brain math is faster in MOA.

That rifle setup....so sweet!
-
I bought a pair of lems Bolder boots because of your videos and love em , definitely going to be buying a pair of summits or outlanders
-
Great kit and review of the gear and class. :-)
-
Fantastic
-
4 mil wind hold now that’s shooting
-
Get some.
-
sub'd for dinosaur talk
-
i like your 9 jackets
-
I like more practical competitions. Most of the junk and gear I see in PRS matches reeks of gaming. 18lb rifles with giant pillows attached to the handguard with muzzle breaks that would blow out you and anyone near you ear drums. Scopes with 35x magnification. It’s all hilarious to me. I compete with my hunting rifle and do pretty well. I don’t even dedicate that much of my time to it either.
-
What are the handguard grips?
-
Is that pistol grip a custom thing?
-
Who is making those Q-Sert rail covers?
-
I really like jackets in god’s camo. Which brand is the one you are wearing?
-
So how does one get into this competition?
