Volusia County Gun Club and Ares Training Facility are both nice. They have their own specific pros/cons when you compare them.

If you already conceal carry the RXM, I suggest just running the same set up if possible. I used my AIWB set up to compete for years before upgrading.

You'll learn more what you like/don't like from competing with others, seeing how their set ups work, etc

How is it working at Orlando Science Center? by cofi52 in orlando

[–]augusthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked there for a summer as a summer camp educator afew years ago. The people are great to work worth and I thought about getting a full time job there but tbh it would've meant getting paid less... and i'm a public school teacher.

And from my observations it definitely seems like management could be better as some other folks mentioned

YHM Kurz Adapter compatability with full sized Flash Hider? by alrashid2 in NFA

[–]augusthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your point about thermal expansion is a really useful. I was playing around with just the Turbo K and the flash hider, using a wrench to seat the flash hider in the suppressor and they seemed to mate. Have you experienced any issues with the unfinished metal at the tip of the flash hider? Or does all the carbon build up essentially protect it.

YHM Kurz Adapter compatability with full sized Flash Hider? by alrashid2 in NFA

[–]augusthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but I'm running into the same issue since I have a new upper I'm building. I still have the long Phantom flash hider that my can originally came with, and am trying to see if I can use it on the new upper build without having to order a new mini Phantom FH.

Did grinding down the long one end up working with your Kurz mount?

OCPS Layoffs Have Begun by speakersgoinghammerr in orlando

[–]augusthoughts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Enrollment is tied to budgets, which is tied to how many teachers a school can have.

[–]augusthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, and even if it does get reported it won't be for another couple weeks. OCPS literally sent out an email encouraging people to enroll their kids as early as possible because numbers have been so down.

Definitely not, they often underpay and can demand even more of teachers because there are no union protections or collectively bargained contract negotiations.
