experience
Experience is the process through which conscious organisms perceive the world around them. Experiences can be accompanied by active awareness on the part of the person having the experience, although they need not be. Experience is the primary subject of various subfields of philosophy, including the philosophy of perception, the philosophy of mind, and phenomenology.
Several different senses of the word "experience" should be distinguished from one another. In the sense of the word under discussion here, "experience" means something along the lines of "perception", "sensation", or "observation". In this sense of the word, knowledge gained from experience is called "empirical knowledge" or "a posteriori knowledge". This can include descriptive knowledge (e.g. finding out that certain things are true based on sensory experience), procedural knowledge (e.g. learning how to perform a particular task based on sensory experience), or knowledge by acquaintance (e.g. familiarity with certain people, places, or objects based on direct exposure to them).
In ordinary language, the word "experience" may instead sometimes refer to one's level of competence or expertise, either in general or confined to a particular subject. In this sense of the word, "experience" generally refers to know-how rather than descriptive knowledge (or in other words, on-the-job training rather than book-learning). This article is not about "experience" in this sense, but is instead about the immediate perception of events.
Hoping someone has experience with this Cabela’s duck blind and could possibly post pictures, and tell me how the dog door functions. Can’t seem to find any videos on it. Thanks.

So I just picked up this beautiful weapons platform. Would like to touch bases with fellow owners/people with experience with it. Last thing I wanna do is screw up this relatively expensive gun! I plan on reloading for it, as I currently reload all my other platforms. 5.56, 9mm, 50 BMG, etc...
TL;DR: I received a letter letting me know that my stolen rifle was seized, it was stolen months ago and I reported it, will I ever see it again?
I had a built match AR stolen from the hotel we were staying at for a CMP Match in Kennewick last March. I reported the weapon stolen to the KPD, and...
I came across this business recently. They seem to be well stocked and good prices! Has anyone purchased anything from them? Are they legit?

Note these guys sell ammo, not reloading supplies.
I was looking around for some bulk 38 spl for an upcoming class. Saint Barb’s was competitively priced for some thrifty 38 ammo (PMC Bronze) and there is free shipping when you hit some threshold purchase amount. I wish they used a slightly...
I'm trying to determine if these will cycle consistently with subsonic rounds but there is not much info out there I can find.
Anyone have experience with these that can comment about how ammo sensitive they are or ideally if they can cycle subsonics?
Thanks!
So finally today I broke a seal or valve? on my marauder pistol. Air is coming out at the fill nipple. Have somewhere between 10,000-15,000 rounds through it so can't complain really. Before I go down the long internet rabbit hole trying to figure out how to repair this, does anyone have...
Saw these on sale at midway for $29.99. Seems cheap for this knife.

A really silly/stupid? video but does show how much of a beating it can take. Suggest skipping around if you watch it otherwise it's repetitive and too long (imo).
I've owned a few Taurus firearms over the years, both semi-autos and revolvers, and all of them have been good to me. I know, luck of the draw, not everyone has had a good experience with this brand. I recently picked up a G3C; $250 shipped plus a $25 rebate and three magazines included seemed a...
American Reloading is currently stocked up with powder with a 5% discount on what looks like a good price. Anyone have any experience with this powder?
Considering buying a 308 in either pistol size -not less than 10"- (must have no functional buffer tube, can use folding brace or collapsable brace) or bulllup.
Looking for any shooting impressions from folks that have shot a Tavor especially such as recoil, smoothness, etc. particularly what...
Went in there and there were five employees, one of which I think was probably the owner, and 2 customers. 2 of the employees were helping customers and one woman running paperwork stuff. One employee was bsing with another employee for 5 min then stocking ammo for the rest of the time I was...
Looking for some AR parts and this dealer has what I’m looking for at decent prices. Not a ton of reviews and Google maps to a house. Couldn’t find much else on them. Anybody used them before?
Their GunBroker account (assuming it’s the same one) is A+ with 275 reviews

I see very limited info about Ruger's steel .308 AR mags. Most of the complaints i have read about have to do with the Ruger .308 rifle itself. I found some of the mags for sale for a reasonable price and was thinking about picking some up, but was hoping to hear from somebody who has used...
Despite owning and carrying many brands over the years, I'm a SIG newbie. Recently I picked up a 365xl romeo zero and love it, but the trigger definitely needs to be tightened up. Too much slack or travel before the wall. Have read nothing but positive reviews, and only plan on installing 2/3 of...
Looking at the Meopro Air HD 10x42 or the Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42. From what user end info I can find it seems that they are very close in optical performance, but the Meopta gets a bit better marks for the eye relief, eyecup design, and diopter control style. Both are repeatedly praised for...
Looking to build a 550 magnum rifle off a Weatherby or savage 111-112 action the .338 lapua action savage makes.
questions I have are:
has anyone make the brass from 460 Weatherby? if so what was the best way you found to do it?
what molds for cast bullets do you recommend? or other pre made...

I have numerous problems with this type of policy (especially if it applies to take out meals). In my mind it is a policy that rewards everybody equally regardless of the effort...
So I have my appointment at the sheriff's office this week, and would like to know what to expect. Being new to owning firearms and having a tendency to overthink things, I have a bit of anxiety. I have everything on the checklist, but will I be questioned about anything the application doesn't...
