In my country 3,4% of the population age 16 and above have a valid hunting license. This level has remained about the same for several decades. (we have to pay a yearly fee for a hunting license, therefore the numbers are quite accurate). The ratio of female hunters is increasing. 7% of the...

The waterpiping in a typical home are pressured to between 2,5 and 4,5 bar (ATM) Therefore if you want your watch to be able to withstand the pressure coming out of the water faucet in your kitchen or bathroom, you want the rating to be at least 5 bar (ATM) and preferably way higher to have a...

"Current production" makes this quite a challenge. Two or three decades ago hunters in my area would own something like a Land Rover 110 or Range Rover Classic and use it as their only car. It would take the family to church on Sunday, mom or dad into work monday-friday as well as being the...

Priority one: Find a stock that fit her perfectly. Priority two: Make sure she likes the look of the stock.

The R2 1,7-10x42 has been "sold out, new deliveries expected soon" in my area for quite a while. I know, because I wanted to buy one. I own a MEOPTA MeoStar R1 1,5-6x42RD that is amazing, not just for the money but in general. The reticle and red dot have worked very well for me for general...

Same for me and for the same reason. Sometimes, especially in damp, cold, wet autumn, I will store my shotguns disassembled so I can oil the barrels freely. I do lack a proper fixture in the gunsafe for for this approach, so it is always at the risk of something tumbling and scratching...

Some cloth straps come with a detachable buckle. The fabric can then be cleaned in the washing machine along with your other laundry. Fabric straps that go uncleaned for months become disgusting, maybe not to the wearer, but to people at a progressively longer and longer distance to the wearer ;)

For the last 2-3 decades I have been able to login to the banks self-service system over the net and make a SWIFT, SEPA etc. transfer to a bank account in another country, in a minute or two. This is pretty standard across the world these days. The US being the one glaring exception. If you...

Inspired by your recommendation of those two books, I went looking and found one of them locally second hand. So far it looks promising.

Set up a couple cameras to film yourself from the side and from above, preferably on a high frame rate Engage the services of an experienced rifle instructor

Those two films are candidates for the "Anyone else Butcher?" thread: :) https://www.africahunting.com/threads/anyone-else-butcher.78573/ Corruption and mismanagement is a sad state of affairs that hamper more societies than one might think. It is sad to see societies and wildlife suffer due to...

Non-lead bullets are lighter than lead bullets. Therefore the optimal rifling twist rate is different for non-lead and lead bullets. It will be interesting to learn if those two manufacturers mentioned in the first post, have discovered something else that can improve performance. Their...

I practice with a scoped CZ455 in .22LR On a typical year I fire at least twenty times more .22LR than centerfire at the riflerange. My local riflerange has a "running wild boar at 50 meters" designed for .22LR, it is splendid practice.
