    Plains Game Ammo

    DEFINITELY practice shooting off of sticks. Was the biggest gap in my skill set on my first trip to Africa. Didn’t shoot prone 1 time, never a scenario when I could. Missed several shots off of quad sticks as I didn’t have any practice with them and wasn’t super comfortable with them. Bought...

    Gear Q&A

    The 4” is going to give you a little more velocity for supers, but not a tremendous amount. As a con, the 12” brings you into NFA territory. Not the issue it used to be with $0 ‘stamps’ beginning 1/1, but still have the paperwork and wait time. I personally have a 16” Fix w/6.5 CM barrel...

    FE x Sangin Overlord

    PLEASE make a future version with the upgraded automatic movement. I’ll be all over it like Pete is all over Adderall and gas station boner pills.

    Long Range Rifle x Prarie Dogs '26

    Likely no. I’m headed back to SA in May on the FE 4.0 Safari. Probably can’t pull off that and shooting school off just a couple months apart.

    Long Range Rifle x Prarie Dogs '26

    White Owl is the closest town, but it’s basically the middle of nowhere.

    Just freaking shoot...

    QB armband works great too, can print a little bigger or add more yardage intervals for longer ranges.

    Gun Reviews

    Finally got everything together to start shooting my Stag 10 Marksman AR10 in 6.5CM this past Spring. It might be the best AR10 you can buy for the $$. Can be had for around $1,500, easily shoots 3/4 MOA or better with Winchester Match ammo. I ran this at the FE Long Range Shooting School...

    Let’s see your watch. What’s the story behind it?

    I tend to change my watches like I change my socks, but usually have a Longines Hydroconquest on when traveling or one of my Sangins on as a daily driver.

    Long Range Rifle x Prarie Dogs '26

    Can vouch for this, it’s incredible. I did the 2.5 day class this past August. Learned a ton, killed some prairie dogs, and made fun of all the gay butt-stuff Terry did in the Navy. If you don’t shoot better after this, there’s no hope for you.

    What’s the most Field Ethos thing you’ve done this year?

    Shooting steel from 2,000 yards and prairie dogs out to ~300-400 w/Uncle Terry in SD this summer.

    Very White Guy

    Born in SW Oklahoma, raised in Southern Kansas. 4 years serving Uncle Sam as an Infantry Marine in the early GWOT. Work has taken me to MN where I help boil oil and try to survive a state going the wrong direction. Spend too much money on watches, guns, and silencers in my free time.
