That seems tenuous to me.

You very well could be right. 🤷‍♂️

Aside from (very) slight curiosity, I am unconcerned either way.

Same feelings.

And like BS mentioned, if you care enough about something, grab one and see if it suits ya. Although I do appreciate others experiences as well.

Wait, I am confused, are we believing what we see, read and hear on the internet or not?

You should post up some pictures of "weather" and success on game, skip fishies.

It'll be fun. But we all know those pictures will always have have Golden Rings.

Threads over.

If he said it, it must be true, right? I think he'd be smart to be demanding payment from the forums where he generates so much content and traffic. They're literally marketing their new Tikka stock as "Form approved." So even if Avery doesn't sign the checks for Form, I highly doubt they're not in some sort of business deal together. It's not a bad thing really.

Another explanation for why he totally dropped off the face of the earth here and went to Rokslide exclusively is that people are a lot more combative here... there he has a cult following - guys who sell all their rifles and scopes to get Formidilosus approved setups.

The fact is we have no idea who he is. Makes it really hard to gauge how seriously to take him. He presents himself as an expert on practically everything (I've even seen him give parenting advice) - but when you ask why you should believe him he and his supporters get really defensive about it.

At this point, the only reason I can think of to stay anonymous is that if people knew who he was it would hurt rather than enhance his credibility.

I think the podcast he goes on sometimes is pretty good. One of the better hunting and shooting podcasts. Covers a lot of basics that a lot of guys could benefit from learning.

Because we could have taught him how to hunt and what was a good hunting optic.

Formy was way behind the curve but a few of you fan girlz sure ate up the bullshit.

When you kill your first bull elk you will begin to see.

Good Luck.

So is Form going to be working for free at the shooting/hunting class that rokslide/shoot2hunt is charging $3k for and advertising him as the instructor?

Not that I have a problem with making money, good for him. Things probably just changed since the whole I don’t get paid by any one statement.

I also think a large percentage of the rokslide members are pretty young new to hunting types. Or least new to out west hunting as they like to say. The whole bragging about DIY public land hunt is one clue. They want a hero.

Jumping off ice cliffs to kill a rag horn and expecting us to believe it is another clue.

Do you think a scope manufacturer is attending the shooting course? Or is the manufacturer paying him to put on the course?

Only a novice or an uninformed moron would sign up

I’m sure the HandJob was first in line


🤣
