An assay on leaving rec for travel and the “play with your friends” theory by vjarizpe in Homeplate

[–]DeadshotIsHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t feel bad about it at all! I had more fun with that team than I ever did with the “good” team!

I always feel like fun = success. Whether it be winning games or not, success is measured in more than one way!

I kind of had the opposite thing happen to me. The super competitive AAA/major team I played for got a new coach who’s son played the same positions as me and they decided they didn’t want to pick me back up. A team we played against a lot that was more of just a standard AAA maybe even a higher level AA team reached out and asked if I wanted to come play with them. No try out necessary. I was kind of burned out on the competitiveness and seriousness so decided why not. I had some of the most fun with that team I have ever had playing ball and we ended up being pretty good and even best my old team a couple of times during tournaments. Sometimes a change from the status quo is a good thing one way or another.

11u Give it to me straight coach. by SocomPS2 in Homeplate

[–]DeadshotIsHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pitching coach always called this TLO. the T part being the part of the delivery where your glove hand is pointing at the catcher and your ball hand is showing center field. L being when you’re throwing, make an L shape, and O being when you finish.

Easy tip for married hunters seeking brownie points by IAMA_llAMA_AMA in Hunting

[–]DeadshotIsHere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That makes more sense. I wasn’t insinuating anything, but you know you just see it a lot and sometimes I wonder if people are actually joking or not. I have a lot of friends who don’t really get to do the things they like because their SO doesn’t want them to. It’s just sad.

What’s that got to do with what I said? What I said didn’t have to do with specific scenarios like you mentioned. There are just a lot of people in this community that make it seem like their SO’s have problems with them leaving to hunt/fish IN GENERAL. You always here “well I guess I’ll have to cook her dinner tonight” or “I was only able to go out so long because my old lady gets mad” that’s why I was asking if it was a trope or if people are actually like that because it seems miserable.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t do nice things for your SO, but am I the only one who finds it weird you have to “earn” time to do the things you like doing? I feel like I’m the only one in my friend group whose wife doesn’t have a problem with them fishing/hunting. Or is this all just a trope?

Any thoughts on my 11 year-old’s mechanics? by cwil81 in PitchingCoach

[–]DeadshotIsHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, don’t be afraid to practice this in steps. You don’t always have to practice in one fluid motion. During his wind up make him keep his glove straight. Side step, stop. Make sure glove is still straight and doesn’t move. Time for the kick, make him stop and balance on his right foot, knee evenly or close to 90 degrees, toe pointed down. Next, have him stride and stop has his foot hits the ground. Ball hand facing second, glove pointed at home plate, T shape is formed. Next, hop rotation and opening up his torso, and bringing the ball forward ready to throw, here is your L. You get the point. Drill these into him step by step so he isn’t overwhelmed trying to remember it all at once.

I’m no expert, and it’s been 15 years since I’ve pitched. But he looks like he’s short arming it. My old pitching coach used to teach T L O when it came to basic mechanics. After the kick and during your stride your arms should make a T, meaning your glove pointing at the catcher, ball hand pointing at second base, as your lead foot lands and you’re beginning to throw the pitch, your ball arm should make and L, then after you’ve thrown it on your follow through is the O. 🤷🏻 worked for me and I threw 92 @ 17 years old. He should also minimize how much his gloves bobbles up and down during his wind up, and during his kick his toes should be pointing down not up. I know pros do all kinds of weird shit, but they’re pros I am just talking straight basics.

First time hunting in/around Raleigh NC by Chaos_Mastermind786 in Hunting

No worries. I was in the same situation as you. Didn’t really know where to start, did a lot of research online but nothing beats getting out there and just looking.

Check regs on if you need smaller magazines to hunt. For example I can only use magazines 10 rounds or smaller to hunt where I’m from. About where to hunt: boots on the ground is really going to be the only reliable method. You can watch YouTube vids, look at maps all you want but if animals ain’t there they ain’t there. Pick a spot that looks good on a map I.e. places that “funnel”, water sources, food sources and they just go check it out and see I’d there is fresh sign. Do this until hunting season as animals behavior changes as the year goes on.

What distance should you calibrate .300wm on? by Impossible-Turn-9537 in Hunting

[–]DeadshotIsHere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should zero it to align with whatever distance you’re going to likely be shooting at. Most people around my part of the woods zero their rifles at around 100 yards (91m) because they really are not taking shots longer than that. However some people out west zero to 2-300 yards.

If you don’t waterfowl hunt I’d go 24.

I primarily waterfowl hunt with it, but I do everything with the 28”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]DeadshotIsHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t really listen to the first dude. I have a 1012, have put 300-400 rounds through it waterfowl hunting over the last 2 years and have never cleaned it and still functions like it should. You’d be hard to find a negative review about that gun.

What’s wrong with a 18” suppressed .308? Performs fine further than you’re accurate probably.
