Having some fun with at the end of a dead lifting session with my eldest. Good times. Temp finally dropped to 101! Woo! Her favorite lift is the dead lift, followed by bench, then squats. Still working on form and find out what ques work for her.

Proud of my girls. *shrugs*. Shoots, lifts, runs, repeat. Test through the roof.... wait wut.

solid.

form will come the more she gets used to the lift. as with anyone. Lifting it awkward starting off, but once your muscles start properly firing, things will get easy.

what is she doing for all 3 as a "max". I remember something of a deadlift being around 100lbs????

[Ikeman83]

Okay, Srs question for you guys who are CZ heads.

If I'm gonna drop some coin on a nice target pistol for my bday, what's your suggestion? Keep in mind I have a Tactical Sport in 9mm already.

-Shadow 2
-Shadow 2 Orange
-TSO
-Pointman 9
-Shadow Target II
-???

Would go TSO or Shadow 2 for sure, except they aren't IDPA legal and I shoot both that and USPSA.

Spend that thousand dollars on firearms training.

Hi *******s, first time caller.

Ordered a glock 44, saw the terrible reviews, cancelled.

Taurus tx22 held by ffl, will probably pick up today if hes open.

Got some winchester 22lr 40gr on the way, mixed reviews.

Whats a good belt& holster company to get stuff from? Fashion not a factor obviously, just practicality.

Just go get a H&K usp 9 or VP9.

Youre welcome.




Good morning *******s! All this gun talk is giving me a freedom boner for when i move back to VA.

[nbcrr71]

Welp, the big 4-5 tomorrow. Rapidly approaching Taf territory.

I checked Sharper Image but they don’t have it.

At Tactical Response.

[JChippy]

At Tactical Response.

Inb4 meatie.

Will say, training is def under valued.

As good guy Pat Mac says. Just bc you carry a gun, does not mean you are armed. Don’t be a liability. Get some training and become an asset.

Are you planning to conceal this thing or just use it for training?

Just got back from the gym. Probably going to go for a bike ride tomorrow with my daughter. There's some nice trails right near the house that I hear about but have never done, so really need to start checking those out. Other than that, might do a little work around the house but plan on relaxing quite a bit after a busy work week.

I bought a parks pass a couple weeks ago and we've been doing some hikes lately. So will be doing more of that into the summer/fall.

[taf1968]

Happy manstopper b-day, PapaB.

[28maynard]

HBD, PapaB

[taf1968]

Well, at least one company is going against the virtue signalling grain. These guys did an add in response to Gillette when that hit, too.

[PapaBurgandy]

Thanks, fellas.

Saturday morning arts and crafts. Let's paint a weapon.

We're going to be using Krylon fusion camo paint but any matte paint will do. Also note, you don't have to degrease anything...it's not a fancy coating that you need to adhere perfectly. If it rubs off, spray it more.



Step 1: Mask off or remove everything you don't want painted. I move the light on this weapon around, and didn't want to paint the suppressor so those came off. Soft goods (sling, straps, etc) came off except for the dummy cord connecting the optic to the weapon...that's a pain to take off so we'll just paint it. I also like to mask the muzzle device especially if you're mounting a suppressor to it. This should go without saying but close your dust cover.




Step 2: Start with sand / khaki. Put your other colors down...if you start with something else it will end up way too dark. Long strokes make happy folks or whatever.



Step 3: Diagonal passes of green. Not too many, not too few. I like to use the exact number of times I've been completely ****ed by the green weenie.



Step 4: Break out the camo netting and let's make a pattern. This is old camo netting but anything will do. If you want a tight pattern hold it close to the weapon. If you want it looser, hold it far away. This time we're using brown. Short little sprays. Hit only the light areas.



Step 5: Same thing, but we'll hit the dark areas with sand now.



Step 6: Cut yourself some stencils and hold them close to the weapon, then spray black. I like making little slit stencils so I can move them around and make more complex shapes. You do this with black so that the weapon doesn't look flat - contrary to popular belief there is a lot of black in nature, but it's usually not on objects - it's the shadow behind the object.

After you do this, you may want to give it a dusting of the color most prevalent in your AO. In my case it's summer and it's really green here so I dusted it green...hold the paint can far away and give it a big up and down.



Step 7: Peel off your tape and put it back together. Time.

Well, phukk . . . been waiting for info on the 24 Hr Fitness club re-openings and finally found some details. Pre-COVID there were 3 clubs within 20 mins of my house (my main club was about 10 mins away) and a 4th just a little farther away. There was another club just a little farther but not bad. They're only keeping one of those clubs open--and it opens on June 22nd. That sucks. I imagine it will be pretty damn busy with all the other traffic headed there instead of spreading out.

I also have a really cheap membership at Chuze Fitness (one club only) about 15 mins away and that's where I've been going since they reopened. Nice club, but it does get pretty busy. So I'll have to make due but the options are dwindled now.

Thanks, China.

You know what to do. Time to build a home gym.

[taf1968]

You know what to do. Time to build a home gym.

Dont really have a good place for one right now. Garage is out. With the kids still in the house, the basement isn't much of an option the way we use it. There's one spot that might work for a rack . . . but with the structural wood flooring and it being in the middle of a span, I'd need to look at shoring up the joists to have all that weight there.

Someday, maybe, when that extra bedroom opens up then a home gym may need to happen. Until then, I'll probably just made do with the gym. At least the times I tend to go are the least busy, comparatively. Just a tad more inconvenient than it used to be.

I don’t own a Mossberg, but a quick search on YouTube bore fruit. Give it a look.

Because it's the same people picking up the ammo or coming at store open time. Academy can track that through your account or via your CC transactions.

On top of this, the limit is 5 boxes person. That's per check out, not per day. There were people coming in and out and raiding out some of the locations.

The other thing is people were floating inventory at Academy's expense. Buyers would go online and place orders, then float the inventory until they sold it. If that inventory was not able to be flipped, Academy's policy states the buyer is refunded 100% after seven days if orders are not picked up, and they just restock the shelves with that ammo that was held at customer service.

floating inventory. damn that's... creative. But makes sense why they don't list it online now.

Because they want as many satisfied customers as possible. Not a few neckbeards with nothing better to do with their time than smurf ammo to flip

lol

glad you brought this up because I was going to buy a +1 tube extension with sling mount, but hadn't considered I will probably get a light. Haven't looked much but saw this https://www.gggaz.com/mossberg-590-s...mbo-mount.html
Would prefer only one sling attachment point though.

[4ea]

ive been kicking around the idea of getting into full auto bb guns for awhile now, feeling strongly tempted by the umarex mp40 and mini uzi.

will buy eventually, tempted to today

Thanks, broskie.

for sure man. id suggest buying some gun stuff to celebrate but current events have made that difficult.

did you decide on what kind of lat pull down machine to get?
