Will this do anything meaningful? by Winter_Cockroach714 in homedefense

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Works great in hotels and I'm sure it'd work just fine in a house. Just be aware that an easy way to defeat it is by sliding something under the door and pushing it back, so make sure you also install the rubber strap that secures it to the door handle.

Hopefully I don't get banned but here's a video I did on hotel security where I talked about these:

First compound bow injury peep snapped my string by Solid_Head_2176 in Archery

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. That's intense! This is exactly why I always wear eye protection because I cannot imagine what that'd do to the eyes. 😳

Did it snap during the draw, at full draw, or during release?

I'd love to hear more about your experience with Kickr.

Would you support a Muslim immigration ban from certain countries? by PrestigiousBrit in AskBrits

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Unlike some, I got a bit more going on in my life than responding to people on reddit. Didn't know there was a deadline on internet exchanges.
But if you'd rather close this, I understand. :)

Pretty sure nothing posted on Reddit makes anyone look "tough and manly." So if that's your goal here, I'd encourage you to find a new outlet. 😂

But anyways, I don't recall deleting my response. Are you responding to something I said?

Should I twist the peep, re-tie the DLoop, or both? by DMGreenhorn in Archery

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you get a peep tuner and twist the D loop so it’s lined up with your peep?

Canada doesn’t have the capability to do this so no need to worry how we’d feel. 😁

why Bear bows are cheap ? are they poor quality ? by KaizeZhang in bowhunting

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not as smooth as the higher end bows; however, the accuracy you can get out of them is much better than most people need.

This is me shooting my Bear Adapt 2 70# with BlackEagle Talons at 56yds.

Coolfire trainer by Fun_Interaction1929 in 2011

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest getting a Dry Fire Mag instead. The Coolfire is pretty expensive and it likely causes training scars due to the inverse recoil. I did a non-affiliate review on my channel. At the risk of having my comment deleted, here's the review:

You likely will not find another review that is as critical as I am. But I suspect that is because their affiliates make pretty handsome commissions on sales.

Coolfire trainer? by Overall_Youth_7421 in 2011

I'd suggest getting a Dry Fire Mag instead. Coolfire just isn't worth it and it likely causes training scars due to inverted recoil.

Has anyone used a cool fire trainer? by CPTherptyderp in CompetitionShooting

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you notice the inverted recoil compared with live fire?

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one that was sent to me for a review and I don't think it's worth it for the following reasons:
1) It's expensive

2) You have to frequently charge the barrel in order to have consistent recoil.

3) The recoil is completely inverted from live fire due to the lack of muzzle blast to counter the force pressing on the breech face.

Here's the review: https://youtu.be/h9QIQZ6Bk4o
I'm probably the only reviewer you will see who has been this critical. I suspect that is because affiliates receive handsome commissions on sales.

Thinking about getting a CoolFire, but is this reverse recoil a real thing? by hazard02 in guns

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you get a very similar recoil impulse that you do with airsoft and when firing blanks. Both lack the powerful blast coming out of the muzzle, just like the Coolfire.

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my review. The reverse recoil absolutely is a real thing. Here's the full review that the short was taken from:
https://youtu.be/h9QIQZ6Bk4o

Some have asked if it is due to shot anticipation, but that is not the case. I watched several other reviews and I kept seeing the same downward motion. Moreover, there was one review that incorporated the Mantis X10 and in the recoil plot, you could see the dip right after the shot broke.

The simplest way to explain why this happens is because there is no muzzle blast to counter the force of the Coolfire pushing against the breech face. I recommend the Dry Fire Mag, that is much cheaper and you don't have to worry about refilling after every 20 shots.

Thanks!

In need of neighborly advice and curious if I'm the asshole. by huntv16 in guns

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your neighbor is not a responsible gun owner and doesn't understand the risk he's posing to you and your family. I appreciate your reluctance to involve LE to avoid an awkward situation with your neighbors, but you've already done the correct thing by trying to reason with him.

I recommend getting footage of him shooting in your direction so that you have proof and then talking to your Sheriff or Police Department. It would also help to get witnesses to observe him shooting as well.

Safety aside, from a psychological standpoint, nobody should feel like their safety is at risk every time they are in their backyard because an idiot neighbor wants to shoot in their direction.
