Hell yeah. How far out do you push that thing?

I just built my first AR, bought a 16" 556 stainless barrel upper from PSA. Love it.

I have a 600yd range nearby so I'll see how accurate I can be at that distance. If I'm going for long range I'll run 77g SMK rounds through it. But there is A LOT of drop at that distance. Probably like 80 inches. Otherwise, 500 yds should be fairly manageable.

Have fun with your PSA! My first ar runs a PSA lower. Fun stuff! What optics do you got?

Looks dope. Little AWD station wagons are really the best IMO. I drove my friends rental Hyundai last weekend and I could not remember which song had those lyrics and then your post reminded me.
 
Its actually closer to the size of a RAV4, I'm just tall. It's a Tucson, not a Kona

RAV4 size is still pretty compact tho which IMO is much more practical than a big pick up or yukon if you want to squeeze in to the lot on a pow day

"squeeze in to the lot on a pow day" Ha ha. Have done many times, even though pow is not my big deal.

That's awesome. My range in NH does 600 yard days, but most of those guys run 308 or 6.5. I'll probably give it a shot in the spring with some lighter ammo just to see if I can produce any results at all, still learning about .223 ballistics. I've done 200 yards and even there I'm all over the paper. 16" def has its limitations!

I picked up a Sightmark holo RDS because it was 100 bucks and looked like an EOtech haha. It seems solid enough for anything at close distances, but it definitely has some downsides. I would love to put a Primary Arms scope on there at some point.

Happy shooting!
 
These climbing shoes, some chalk and a chalk bag. Anyone got some suggestions for a light weight harness good enough for some indoor climbing but also light enough to bring ski touring? Was considering the Petzl Tour harness but not sure how terrible that would be for climbing.

I have the Black Diamond Solution harness and I love it, super light and minimal, can't speak to how it works for touring though

The tour is enough for ski touring but for climbing not so much. last year I felt into a crevasse and damn hanging in this belt for more than 15 minutes straight is really uncomfortable.

For serious climbing and work during all seasons I use a Petzl Falcon mountain. It s a day and night difference to the tour. A good compromise would be the adjama or sth in this direction. Still comfortable to wear with ski pants and not too bulky. I d recommend you going into a shop or climbing centrum to try on different models and see what works best for you.

Don't copy me kids. I bought em without trying em on but know my foot pretty well and will send em back if need be. 26.5s were getting scarce online so I figured pull the trigger now rather than regret not doing it later.

You can get away with it. I bought RX130's off a shelf at a consignment sports shop after wearing them for like 2 minutes and in a similar situation of "i need 26.5s right now". I skied em for like 4.5 years until they couldnt hang anymore.

Rolling the dice and purchasing my first pair of skis in over two years. Finally bit the bullet and went with a real weight weenie mountaineering ski for all of my big plans. They're supposed to ski really well for a lightweight mountaineering ski, fingers crossed.

They make good skis! Good luck!

I plan to buy exactly the same. I tried them 10 days ago for a 3-day trip and was so impressed. Lighter AND stiffer than equivalent Blackcrows ! I had both packed snow and powder and loved them straight while it usually takes time to adjust with touring skis. Many people shred them as well in Chamonix.

Put some light bindings and you'll be able to go everywhere with an uncompromising pleasure.

My friend got a pair of blemished whipits a few years ago and we couldn't even figure out what was wrong with them

Good to hear, I cant find a blemish on them but I doubt they'd sell them if it was structural.
 
In preparation for Cornell's upcoming games this weekend, as well as the big game vs BU at MSG over Thanksgiving. Let's go red baby!

In the mood for something a bit more directional and haven't gotten a new pair of fat skis in over 4 years

3 month membership to a local climbing gym, complete noob but excited to finally take the leap

youll have a fun time. my local gym has a climbing setup built inside so its a nice little thing to do if you dont want to go do any workouts
 
Bought a flight to BC from Brisbane Aus for the 19th of Jan returning 20th of Feb. Going to be chilling with the homies at Silverstar, and then taking trips out to Revelstoke, Apex and Sun Peaks.

Also buying a pair of Kartel 108's with adrenaline's which I'm stoked on.

Bought a new gym membership because I'm super fucking unhealthy atm. Two weeks in and still going strong!

gets real addicting real quick! I still suck after 6 months but its cool in how personal the progress is, as in you're only really competing against yourself. It's such a good feeling sending a route that 6 weeks ago looked totally impossible
 
forza Pivot18s on proform with a 115 brake. Remove the paintjob and its still the solid burly pivots we love.....They had a set of murked-out ones at the shop but sadly only in the 75mm width. Wasnt in the mood to drive around from shop to shop like last time trying to find some white pivots.

Sadly some of their inventory got lost in a flood last week so they were limited in bindings and was in a pinch honestly. But if anyones ever in PC, definitely stop by and get a tune by ColeSport or somethin

Got a little wee wacom bamboo off my brother well over a decade ago. In design school I got a large intuos, but you know what, I eventually sold that and kept the smaller one and its sturdy to this day. Share your work some day.

Long story but I was planning on ordering them during the black friday sale. Turns out my girlfriend had ordered me some as a surprise Christmas present right before the black friday sale Scott said he would hook it up still but they were super busy and I felt bad blowing them up to get the deal so I just picked up a set locally. Super stoked to get them on snow!
