The Chinese don't just pull the sizing out of thin air! The wicking Ts are supposed to be a close (tight) fit- that's how they wick. The fleece although usually not, is designed to be worn underneath the Lightweight Jacket (shirt).
PCS is Personal Clothing System. It has (from memory) a possible 14 layers. It is worn worldwide although there are Temperate, Tropical, Windproof and Flame Retardant versions.
UK kit is miles better than when I was in in the 80s and 90s. I now sell if for a company and come across a lot of kit, including stuff that is not sold. The Lightweight goretex is top notch but sized totally differently (MUCH smaller) to the remainder of the PCS. The boots are a massive jump...
Marauder packs- I know a fair bit about them. They are aimed squarely at the military. All of them have a shorter back than the civvy rucksacks. The frame is just a flat ali bar about 3/4" wide with 4 "fingers" coming off of the top bar towards the bottom of the bag. (Like a hand with the...
It was a good shot, but whilst skilled in application it was pure luck that between pulling the trigger and the target being hit (a bullet flight time of 1-1.5 secs) that the deer didn't move. A very slight movement would have missed the vital heart/lungs area.
Deer are renowned for living for...
Distance has nothing to do with it as long as any miss (due to the animal moving or the shooters aim) is minimised to negate the resulted suffering. i.e. A shot on a running animal I don't take issue with if there is the opportunity to take a fast follow up shot. That's okay with say an AR10...
Just to clarify; my comments referred to the Heart/Lungs shot, which is also my chosen target area. To give you an idea of how much movement can be made in 1 - 1.5 secs from just natural movement, look at the hind that moves out from in front of the target hind.
For the non shooters, there was...
My concern was not with the terminal velocity of the bullet, IMHO a .243 is a perfectly adequate round; more with the distance involved in this video. If that person can't approach that herd with that terrain then they shouldn't be shooting. As I said, pure luck that the deer didn't move. 1.5...
I don't understand the obsession with long range shots in the US. A shot taken at 0.4 mile on a paper target is a cracking shot, but on a live animal there are too many variables to call this a good shot- a gust of wind "could" drive the bullet from it's intended path, the animal may move etc...
Literally when we phoned to say the dog was ill, the receptionist's first question was "Is she insured?" Followed by "Who with" and then, "Which plan is she on" We then spoke about getting her booked in. It was a chain Vets- PetDoctors.
