Little Girl Enjoys Shooting Precision Rifle
The little girl in this video is just adorable. I am curious how there is so little recoil from this precision rifle. Maybe it is locked onto the barricade? Then there is a little plug for Prime Ammunition. Too cute.

POTD: Fight With What You Got – IKEA Chest Rig
A rather clever use of materials. This is a great way to recycle those IKEA bags. Even though the blue IKEA bags are not free, @akraix2 used one to make a chest rig. Looks like it would be very light weight and hold up to light duty.
