Northern Virginia Roll Call

Anyone know any good cheap surveillance cameras that I can watch on my Iphone?

My street has had several hit and runs in the past month.

Always wanted to do the 2lo mod. Never got around to it.

 

What do you think about the 12" smoothies with BAMF relocates?

 

A shock relocate is my ultimate goal, but for the price and effort I was gonna do archive garage relocation with 14” smoothies. Shits expensive yo

 

Yeah.....that's not gonna happen anytime soon for me....

 

Just a fyi, if your surveillance cam feeds are available over the internet (ie, on your iphone), then there is always a chance someone else is watching. The only way to be 100% secure is to have them not connected to the internet.

 

We used to use airsoft in Europe to train cqb stuff with the other countries and active shooter scenarios. When training resources are limited you get creative. Hurts way less than sim rounds and can be fun with the right group especially with flash bangs, arty and grenade sims, and real smoke. Are you looking for realistic training or just to get out and have the experience ? There is supposed to be a real nice place down in southern VA that’s like the biggest on east coast. I have a few upper level training guns i held onto for my kids if you wanna check them out?

 

Blink Camera's are pretty cheap and have an iPhone App.

 

Reverse Taco lean

 

Sounds like tons of fun and something I would enjoy. I'd love to check out your training guns sometime.

 

But sim rounds are so much fun! I've done some civilian based active shooter and self defense training with sim rounds. Actually being put through scenarios shows your deficiencies and teaches a lot of how to react in situations. I get a kick out of guys who act all macho joe cowboy saying all they need is that one round and all they go and do is shoot those paper bad guys.

 

I think i saw you today turning left off route 1 to Jeff Todd? Nice truck.

It all depends on how much you carry in the bed vs how much lift you get. 5160, 5125 or B110 would do well paired with leaf pack and break lines. You can always remove a leaf or overload to lessen or add the D29 to help it up.

For the front it depends on weight again and the stiffness of your coils 600,650 or 700 depending on bumper winch etc you might have no preload and still be above 2. Obviously King’s give you more adjustability.

 

I was Just reading about this lol.

 

When i get Back from thanksgiving trip i will Check my stuff and see if my batteries and charger still work.

 

Yeah it is a much cheaper way to practice and is a good training tool if done right. It definitely doesn’t replace live fire but has helped me show my kids before taking them to range so they can practice proper fundamentals and gun safety. It really helped me while in Europe and not being able to have my guns and go to the range like i can Stateside. Really worked on weapon handling, mag changes, speed
Reloads, movement etc....

 

That’s good stuff man. Everybody thinks they know until they get out and do it and actually see and get hit. Makes you rethink a lot of the bullshit you see and hear from different schools of thought. I need To get back out and train more I’m so damn rusty now but have been so busy. When i was a DS we used to have lots of extra ammo and would run drills and do weird angles and talk through stuff to help other DS be better shooters and trainers. Miss those days and all that ammo lol.

 

Another one..

 

I go out fairly often and about once a month or so I do some runnin and gunnin with buddies on one of their farms. We set up courses of fire that put you in awkward positions making you shoot non dominant side. It amazes me how little people actually shoot their guns. I try and go to at least one really good training facility a yr. It's good to see the different thoughts and schools of what to do. I think that's helped me a lot be a better shot being able to adopt different ideas and adapt them to my style. One of my biggest issues is I'm a southpaw that's rt eye dominant.
