Whether Arch is the guy going forward I’ll let others debate, but he sure as shit doesn’t have it tonight, so sit him and let’s give ourselves a chance to win.
Noise is certainly an issue, so appreciate that suggestion. Thinking of scavenging my Vortex red dot from another platform, but will likely need a new can… which is a problem I’m OK having.
Alright, after a few more weeks of both squirrels and crows ripping my yard to shreds I’m finally prepared for jihad. Who here has recommendations? Looking either for bad ass pellet variety or suppressed .22LR with rat rounds. Hell, given the range even a suppressed .22 pistol would get the job done… so what say you all?

Had the pleasure of meeting an American front-liner on my flight to Poland yesterday. It was his second tour with an international brigade, though he noted that supposedly he’d be on defensive lines this time instead of pushing assaults. He seemed confident that the tide was turning, so let’s hope that he’s correct and 2026 is the last year of this tragedy.
