Just prior to all that at 1:08 when asked about his tests, he does specifically say: “for Rokslide, was last winter”, which indicates to me that he does get some sort of benefit from Rokslide for doing his tests.
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.
It’s pretty fhuqking easy to shoot on your own nickle and simply relate the findings. Hint…………
Not that I don't enjoy reading about all the justifications that routinely pop up for crowning gear without actually taking it out to use by oneself, but my thought since reading about all these tests years ago is if one is dubious of someone's reported issues with something and/or not sure who or how much to believe on the interwebs, just test your own gear to whatever level leaves you confident in it for your uses. Why let someone else have all the fun?
Certainly, I enjoy reading reports of others' successes and failures, and I'm always looking for data points that substantiate trends, but I tend to put more stock in my own experiences.
Scopes fhuqk a LOT of folks up,because the MOST important part of them,is the schit you can't see. Hint.
Rugged Reliability,is factored by guts and very fhuqking few test same,if only obviously. Hell...most are scared to fhuqking death of a "scratch",or anything resembling "weather". Hint.
Rather than make fhuqking excuses for Tender Wares,one should be scratching that schit OFF the fhuqking List. Hint.
Just sayin'.............
Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less. A sad little man in a sad little dream."

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.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less. A sad little man in a sad little dream."
I’m quoting as close as I can remember. Episode 34 as stated before It’s at 1:30 mark
Ryan Avery asks. Do I pay you, or does Nightforce pay you
The answer was: NO
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.
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.

Only a novice or an uninformed moron would sign up
I’m sure the HandJob was first in line
🤣

Go show them how it's done, you could run the "how to play second fiddle to a fat drunk" portion of training lol
