![]() As you can see, 300 BLK is a very capable round. This data was taken directly from Hornady's website. Within a hundred to two hundred yards, brands such as the thoroughly tested Hornady 300 Blackout 135 grain FTX will perform very well. Although it will still kill a deer at 200 yards, it’s better to keep your expected engagement range below 200 yards to be on the safe side. ![]() It is important to remember when using 300 blackout for deer hunting that the velocity and velocity of supersonic 300 Blackout rounds can significantly drop past 200 yards. We don't want our food to suffer anymore than it has to or for it to taste like it got a shot of adrenaline in its last moments. However, hunting with a suppressor while using subsonic 300 Blackout rounds will likely cause you to violate hunting ethics because subsonic rounds would not be good for making a clean and ethical kill. Subsonic 300 BLK rounds are soft shooting to begin with, but add a suppressor and your AR-15 will be that much smoother of a shooting experience. Noise isn’t the only thing that is reduced by suppressors, so is recoil. With the countered gas pressure, shooting actually becomes much easier too. Hunting is often done on private property so using a suppressor can also reduce noise complaints if you’re close enough to residential property. With reduced sound signatures, suppressors help to protect your hearing and the hearing of others. Using a suppressor device has multiple advantages. Or, they might just get spooked and bolt anyways. With supersonic loads and a suppressor device, your deer will still hear the crack of the gunshot but will have a harder time locating where you are. Under these circumstances, you can expect 300 BLK to follow through on your deer hunting trips with similar performance of 7.62×39mm and even. Within a hundred yards, supersonic 300 BLK rounds will tumble reliably and transfer energy thoroughly into tissue - enough to put a whitetail down. A projectile with the weight of 125 to 140gn has double the speed of subsonic loads at around 2,350 feet per second. Will 300 Blackout Supersonic Be Enough For a Deer?įor 300 blackout deer hunting, supersonic 300 BLK rounds can be suitable under the right conditions. However, with a bolt action configuration you would be able to avoid the sound of the bolt carrier group cycling as you would with a typical AR-15. 300 blackout is a cartridge designed for AR-15 platforms in mind. Subsonic 300 blackout would definitely not be able to meet this criteria. Some states even regulate that your loads must generate a sufficient force to be used in hunting certain game (Colorado mandates 1,000 ft/lb at 100 yards). Unless you are standing close to the deer, subsonic 300 BLK rounds won’t have the energy nor bullet expansion to make clean kills reliably.Īlthough it’s not entirely impossible, you’ll have to use your best judgement for whether or not conditions will line up well enough for things to go right and good shot placement under 50 yards. Will 300 Blackout Subsonic Kill a Deer?įor making a clean and ethical kill with game as large as deer, 300 blackout deer hunting should typically not be done with subsonic rounds. ![]() For further reading on the differences between supersonic 300 BLK and subsonic 300 BLK, check out 300 Blackout Supersonic vs Subsonic. This is a round designed to be suppressed and not create the ear splitting crack of a sonic boom from a projectile breaking the sound barrier. When higher weighted bullets are used for subsonic 300 BLK loads, it helps prevent the projectile from being able to exceed past 1,122.96 feet per second (the speed of sound). A subsonic 300 BLK can be expected to have a projectile of around 180-220 grain. The primary difference between the two types of rounds is speed. It excels in that criteria by using two main variants of 300 Blackout, subsonic 300 BLK and supersonic 300 BLK rounds. ![]() 30 caliber projectile while retaining its suppression capability. 300 BLK, in its intended purpose, needed to have greater close quarters performance than 9×19mm with its. 300 Blackout sit? Does deer hunting with 300 Blackout fall within that suitable range? 300 BLK SpecificationsĪppearance-wise, the round looks disproportionate with a bullet that is almost the length of the casing itself. 22LR round obviously would not be able to take down a moose, but it’s certainly the first caliber that comes to mind when you think about hunting small varmints like rodents and hares. 300 Blackout would fare for hunting trips. This status comes with the question for how. 300 Blackout has gained widespread recognition and usage that is driving it ever closer to being a staple caliber for the AR-15. Designed for SOCOM operations in mind, the. ![]() So, Moai has quality published games under it’s belt, the support of heavy weights working on two games I am incredibly interested in ( in a time I am not interested in too many games! ), using a technology ( LUA ), that I have been interested in learning for a very long time ( … like, a decade ). His past credits include Shadowrun, Battletech, MageKnight, Crimson Skies, Earthdawn and more. If there is a template for a successful game designer, this is him. ![]() More to the point, it’s the founder of Harebrained Games that really got my attention. Shadowrun on the Sega Genesis is easily in my top 10 favorite games, perhaps my top 5, so this is a game I am dying to see. What probably has me most excited though, is the upcoming Shadowrun Returns. The fact it is one of the more technically competent games I have played yet on Android speaks well of Moai’s capabilities. It is possible you’ve never heard of them, as they have only released one game so far, Strikefleet Omega, a very cool RTS for iOS and Android, written of course in Moai. As does another one, who also reaped the benefits of KickStarter. Let’s just say, his is a voice that carries a lot of weight. Other than making Kickstarter famous, Double Fine’s incredibly well funded upcoming adventure game is being powered by Moai. ![]() ![]() Tim’s prior games is a collection of awesome Psychonauts, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, Full Throttle and even the recent Costume Quest ( which if you haven’t played it, you are missing out ). First off, is Tim Schafer of Double-Fine Games. Me, I like to get my hands dirty.Īnother big selling point for Moai is the names that have thrown their weight behind it. Simply put, each SDK targets a different user-base, and Moai targets the group that want to get their hands dirty. Don’t get me wrong, I am not implying you can’t make a good game with Moai if you aren’t a pro, much as I am not suggesting you can’t make a professional game with Corona, you obviously can. To put things in the simplest terms possible, if you have no prior game programming experience and want to make an iPhone game, Moai is probably not right for you. On the one hand, it is much more flexible ( infinitely if you include the fact it is open source ) than Corona, on the other hand, it is much more difficult. Why is this? Moai doesn’t really make decisions for you which is a double edges sword. You have to create a native host for each platform your game is going to run on ( although templates are provided ), and what might take one line in Corona might take ten in Moai. There is no friendly installer, just a zip to extract. MAOI is written for experienced game developers and targeted at the same demographic. The less resources that exist on the subject, the more likely people will find what I write!Īnother big point is the target audience. As a technical writer though, this appeals to me. There are no books, few tutorial sites, etc… Contrasted again against Corona there is this book, plus this and this. There are a few entry level samples, the documentation on this page and the class reference. Worse still, the community is quite small and there is very little in the way of supporting documentation. It is also appealing to me, as if I can’t understand something from the documentation, I can jump into the source code… speaking of which, that leads to the second point.Ĭompared to Corona, documentation is sparse to completely non-existent. This is certainly a big deal to larger development houses with C++ resources in house. Hopefully they will support what you want in a future release, but if they don’t you are pretty much SOL. With Corona, if you don’t like what you see, tough. The most obvious comparison that comes to mind is to think of Moai as a free open-sourced Corona but that wouldn’t be completely accurate, for a couple of reasons.įirst, well, it is hard to ignore the open source aspect. If you have never heard of it, Moai is an open source, cross-platform game engine written in C++ but scripted using LUA. Moai is one of those projects that has been drawing my interest for a very long time. ![]() The charts below break down the men, women, races, ethnicities and the types of crimes that peopleĪre arrested and incarcerated for in both Highland County and state prisons throughout the country.

A Public Library that serves the Fallston and Harford County communities. Just like books, movies allow students insight into the lives of different characters, how their perspective differs and how they handle certain situations. Movies are a great resource for visual learners because they enable them to understand concepts without the barriers that hinder learning. Going out and experiencing a movie is also very educational. It only makes sense to give yourself the freedom of forgetting about all the other stuff for a while. That’s what movies are all about, escaping from reality for two hours. Watching a movie uninterrupted allows you to be more fully transported into its world.

The Sun person can learn to infuse their identity with Jupiter’s wisdom and generosity, while the Jupiter person can find ways to honor their expansive nature witthout overshadowing the Sun person’s individuality. Instead, it’s about harmonizing these contrasting energies. It’s not about suppressing the Sun’s individuality or curbing Jupiter’s desire for expansion. The key to navigating the Jupiter quincunx Sun synastry lies in understanding the need for balance. The Dance of Balance: Harmonizing the Sun and Jupiter Energies ![]() This is a dance of mutual growth and transformation, a cosmic push-and-pull that can lead to profound personal development if navigated with patience and wisdom. On the flip side, the Sun person, with their radiant energy, could inspire Jupiter to maintain a sense of self amidst their ceaselless exploration. Jupiter, with its inherent optimism, might also bring a sense of adventure and enthusiasm to the Sun person’s life, urging them to step out of their comfort zone and embrace a more expansive worldview. The Sun person might learn to view life from a broader perspective, while the Jupiter person could gain insight into the importance of individuality and personal power. The strain caused by the Sun-Jupiter quincunx can push individuals to reassess their values, expand their understanding, and evolve. But it’s not all about challenges this aspect also brings tremendous potential for growth.Īs the saying goes, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” It’s about finding a middle ground, a way to harmonize the self-centric energy of the Sun with Jupiter’s expansive nature. The Sun quincunx/inconjunct Jupiter synastry is a dance that demands flexibility and adaptability. The Dance Continues: Turning Challenges into Opportunities Partners may struggle with understanding each other’s perspectives, as one operates on a personal, ego-centric level (Sun), while the other tends towards expansion, generosity, and a broader view of life (Jupiter). It is not a harsh clash like an opposition or a square, but a more subtle, yet persistent tension. When these two meet at an awkward angle, the resulting energy can feel both confusing and enlightening at the same time.Ī relationship marked by the Sun quincunx Jupiter synastry may have a distinct flavor of misalignment. Conversely, Jupiter signifies the larger-than-life experiences, the expansion, and the wisdom we gain from broadening our horizons. It is the driving force, the light that guides us. ![]() The Sun quincunx Jupiter synastry can be seen as a dance of contrasts, offerring a wealth of learning experiences and opportunities for growth.īeing at the heart of our solar system, the Sun symbolizes our core identity and personal expression. It’s like an offbeat melody in a symphony – it doesn’t blend smoothly with the rest, yet it adds depth and complexity to the composition. The quincunx aspect in astrology often requires an adjustment, a sort of cosmic compromise. Unfolding the Sun-Jupiter Quincunx Synastry: The Dance of Contrasts When these two heavenly bodies are in quincunx, it births a unique synastry aspect that calls for adaptation and adjustment. On the other hand, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, signifies wisdom, optimism, and growth. ![]() The primary mirror, at the bottom of the telescope tube, curved inward slightly, in a spherical shape. ![]() Instead of glass lenses, Newton’s telescope used two polished metal mirrors. ![]() So Newton devised a new type of telescope, which he presented to his colleagues in England’s Royal Society in January 1672. Newton's mirror was made not of glass, but of a metal alloy consisting of three parts copper and one part tin, mixed with a small amount of arsenic, which would make the metal easier to polish. Any glass lens acts like a prism, splitting a beam of light into its individual wavelengths or colors, so there was no way to eliminate the colored haloes with lens-based telescopes.Ī replica of Isaac Newton's reflecting telescope. Isaac Newton, who is best known for devising his laws of motion and gravity, realized that part of the problem was with the glass itself. And the glass contained chemical impurities that colored the lenses green. Grinding glass to the right shape for refracting telescope lenses was a daunting task, and Galileo’s telescopes produced a slightly blurry view of the sky, with colored “haloes” around astronomical objects. (If you extend the curve of a parabolic surface into space it remains open, with the ends never joining.) James Gregory proposed this design in 1663, but there was no way to create parabolic mirrors at the time, so the design was not implemented for decades. Eventually, astronomers would adopt designs using mirrors with parabolic mirrors instead of spherical ones. While Newton’s reflecting telescope overcame the rainbow-like haloes around astronomical objects, it left the view somewhat distorted because of the mirror’s spherical curvature. Calculated the color-distortion effects of refractive lenses. ![]() RAID levels greater than RAID 0 provide protection against unrecoverable sector read errors, as well as against failures of whole physical drives. ![]() Each scheme, or RAID level, provides a different balance among the key goals: reliability, availability, performance, and capacity. The different schemes, or data distribution layouts, are named by the word "RAID" followed by a number, for example RAID 0 or RAID 1. ĭata is distributed across the drives in one of several ways, referred to as RAID levels, depending on the required level of redundancy and performance. This is in contrast to the previous concept of highly reliable mainframe disk drives referred to as "single large expensive disk" (SLED). RAID ( / r eɪ d/ " redundant array of inexpensive disks" or " redundant array of independent disks" ) is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive components into one or more logical units for the purposes of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both. For other uses, see Raid (disambiguation). For the police unit, see RAID (French Police unit). Another minus is the lack of the ability to make any changes to hardware RAID.This article is about the data storage technology. In addition, even a good controller has a lifespan and will have to be replaced sooner or later. Also, a program array without severe performance loss can only use simple configurations and is subordinate to a specific operating system.ĭisadvantages of HW RAID: This RAID option will hit your wallet hard, since a good and proven controller does not come cheap. It is not possible to quickly replace a damaged disk, because first you have to turn off the system, and this is not always appropriate or convenient. Software RAID does not work with disk partitions. ![]() This also applies to reading and writing procedures. Software RAID vs Hardware RAID: Disadvantagesĭisadvantages of SW RAID: if you compare the performance of hardware vs software RAID, the software array is much weaker and slower. In addition, hardware arrays have a lot of additional functions and options. This array is more universal, as it can be used with various operating systems and can be recognized by any system. Also, there is no downtime when restoring a disk. SW RAID is considered safe, because it uses only the processing power of the operating system.Īdvantages of HW RAID: since the controller is used in this case, there is no load on the server motherboard and the write and read procedures are performed at high speed. The program array makes it possible to reconfigure the array easily and without any limits due to the controller. Software RAID vs Hardware RAID: AdvantagesĪdvantages of SW RAID: this array option is easy to install, because no additional hardware is needed. In addition, there are many advanced functions for user convenience and system protection for example, hot-swappable drives when a single drive fails. In this case, there is no additional load on the server processor and performance becomes noticeably higher. Hardware RAID (HW RAID) is an array with a discrete controller (ATA RAID, SATA controller, Delta PLC, etc.). In this case, the performance of such arrays is not great. ![]() Software RAID can support SCSI, SAS and SATA. Usually, SW RAID is connected to the system’s motherboard since all the data processing takes place on the server’s motherboard, the computation and execution time of the tasks on the device increases. Host controller resources are used here as a controller. Software RAID (SW RAID) is an array without a dedicated controller. |
