Hey y'all, my name is Mike, AKA: Halfmilesniper. I'm a Jack of All Trades, Master of None and I hope to bring y'all along for the ride with me as I bumble my way through retirement.
A little about me, I retired in 2016 after more than 30 years in the US Border Patrol. I was a member of the Border Patrol Pistol Team and still shoot in pistol competitions. I addition to competitive pistol, I shoot long rifle for fun. and draw my user name from my longest shot (actually a tick over 5/8th of a mile).
Besides shooting I do a little work on guns and reload ammunition. Outside of the shooting world I cook and homebrew beer I also do some woodworking and carpentry. I even do automotive work and have dabbled in welding too. As I said, a Jack of All Trades.
Feel free to come along for the ride.

Why YouTube, why?
Why TH-cam, why? Stupid TH-cam demonetized the 3D puzzle / rubberband gun video after 2 days, I appealed and they agreed it was good for all advertisers. Then after a few more days they demonetized again and now will not review or allow an additional appeal because, in their words, "it had already been appealed" prior. Nevermind that on the prior appeal the reviewers (or system AI) agreed with me and re-monetized the video.

15 yards? You can’t be serious. As with any derringer, this is an up close weapon. If it reliably lights off primers, it serves its purpose.
Yes sir. I canot say i agree with the tactics they employ. Now they have AI that can demonize channels.
The AI is getting harsher too...I am currently fighting another video that the system doesn't like as soon as it is uploaded, and the review that I requested is denying the change. I don't know if I am now communicating with a real person or AI but we are currently in a battle of semantics.
No censorship ever! ❤ #rumble is much better!
I can't disagree but I do know my Rumble channel has gotten very few views, so I stopped up loading there. I may have to start back up, but the process at Rumble is more onerous.
Cheers for the video, glad to see PPC is still going in the USA where it was born, we shoot it under the 'World Association' rules in Australia, and it's also popular around Europe and elsewhere too. My wife had those same Bill Davis grips on her PPC revolver, but in pink. I prefer the German K&N 'Master 2' big butt grips myself. Appreciate the tour!
LOL, my wife has the pink Bill David grips on her Service Revolver...and my teammate runs the pink Bill David grips on all her revolvers...seems to be a favorite amongst the ladies who shoot. I have Nil grips on several of my 1911s, but the big butt grips on revolvers don't work at all with my sitting position. One of your PPC Association Officers comes Stateside to shoot, he was with the Queensland State Police IIRC. Thanks for watching, I really do appreciate it.
Its difficult to talk to those beaurcrats made-up of young uneducated entitled kids. This is a wooden toy. Really sad.
Someone please tell me where the fuse for the Cruise Control is located?
Some have suggested Fuse #12...which is for the brake switch (which my be the disconnect for cruise when tapping the brakes) but for the most part is appears the cruise itself is controlled by the PCM and has no fuse just for the cruise control. I believe the switch at the front of the master cylinder is the switch controlled by fuse #12.
@@Halfmilesniper Thank You Thank You. I'll start there.
ai censorship is terrible theyll gladly show u inappropriate ads and advertise sex toys and anime corn but anything pro america is banned
Exactly...now I am battling them on the final, Part 6, of the rifle because some Ken/Karen deemed it inappropriate on manual review. Hopefully I can get that overridden.
TH-cam fears the First Amendment!
The fear both the First and the Second Amendments I just can't decide which they fear more.
Socialists don't like God, Guns and Freedom.
They most certainly do not!
Its no logical reason why though. YT smh keep pushing forward Half, like i know you already will.
Definitely isn't any reason at all...very frustrating.
Just read the video description. That's absolutely crazy
It is, and now I have to fight for every video again. What a pain.
@Halfmilesniper I feel you. That has to be a pain. I honestly see no reason why YT did that.
@@BulletsB4Guns_2A I think the it's good, no it isn't...it's good,..on second thouight, no it isn't! is the most frustrating part.
Keep putting it to them TH-cam sucks
No plans to stop...
Maybe it's that gang flag behind you?!
Yea, that's not a gang flag...sorry to disappoint.
😂 sure leos are the most corrupt gang in the us 🙄
@@lowkeyscustomcars riiiiight...right?
They’re blocking me from getting notifications on certain videos to. People think I’m mad at them for not watching their videos but I don’t know they made a video cause of them blocking me from getting notifications. I can’t help that I’ve tried everything I can think of and a few things other people told me to do but no luck.
You aren't alone there Randle. I never get a notification about WTW videos, and they often don't show up in my feed so I have to go hunt for them. seems a lot of folks don't get them for my videos too.
I seen that video it’s not worth the hassle to me. People keep asking me to do reloading videos but I’m not going to on account of crap like this. I’m going to shut up now.
Fck your gang flag
show us on the doll where the police man touched you with a night stick...
It’s STUPID
Why yes it is...
Everyone should stop everything to do with puketube and let’em go under. Most of the time it’s not worth it anyways. Halfmile sniper has nothing to do with what I SAY ABOUT PUKETUBE ITS ALL ME. Just making sure you’re not taking the heat for what I say buddy.
Not taking any heat over the comments...it is just the system says I am violating their "standards" about building and/or shooting homemade guns, lol, like that is somehow an illegal act.
Some people call it screw tube I say puketube either one fits the same.
Just shows how STUPID puketube is
Halfmile I’ve took a break from TH-cam and fakebook lately but i catch a video every now and then
I completely understand the taking a break part Randle, no shame in it.
Artificial Intelligence monitored by Non-Intelligence. Sorry for your troubles YT. Keep making videos and we'll keep watching them, maybe we can overwhelm their algorithm.
That is my intention James...and I really do appreciate you watching, thanks!
If it looks like a gun and fires a "projectile" then it must be a gun and we can't have that!! Go figure...
Pretty sure that is the mindset...add to that, if we don't show it, or let folks talk about it then everyone is safer...not.
Suppressing information in the form of any kind (format) of any kind is unconstitutional. TH-cam knows this but their house their rules. It’s bs, wish we had another format to take over TH-cam!
They get to play the "my house, my rules" because of Section 230...but, because if the way they are doing it I think they are going to lose that Sector 230 protection.
Hard to feel bad for a guy sitting in front of that flag. Did YT throw you in a cage? Did they haul you off, and separate you from your family? …no? Then, quit fuggin crying. It’s frustrating when you get done dirty by someone who won’t be held accountable, isn’t it?
You got a blue line flag behind you. Why would i give a shit about your problems. You have a disrespectful flag that shows your allegiance to a group of bastards over the American people and constitution. I know youre gonna give some stupid retort to this and skim over the bases of my disagreement. Fuck that flag. Put up the GD American flag.
I'm sorry to hear that. Some are calling it screwtube, I better watch what I say, they might delete my comment.
Treetop uses screwtube regularly...of course he got pretty much screwtubed previously too.
TH-cam has gotten so Ridiculous
You aren't wrong Sir.
I agree with you I am sure it was reviewed by AI and I think that AI is going to our downfall over time.
I agree Larry, just running AI with no human interference isn't good...but what do I know?
Happy new year my friend. I would comment but why? It will not change anything or they will delete comment.
There have been a lot of comments on this one hidden JC...I was able to bring most of them up to reply to but for some weird reason they remain hidden...hmmm. Happy New Year to you and yours JC...thank you!
As @paramonttactical says "youtube isn't a freind of the 1st or 2nd ammendments"
So very true!
AI more like artificial ignorance.
Well said.
Shouldn't have to woo-saa. I think we may have done enough woo-saaing. Im so tired of infringements on our constitutional rights. The constitution should be no compromise!
I agree Sonny, but that woo-saa was to keep me in check while complaining about the YT system and their censorship...lol
That is AI for ya! They say AI will take over the world, but we wonder if that is before or after all the bad code causes everyone to move to Mars.
The lousy coding is going to give us Skynet...it'll go active a little later than in the pre-documentary which proclaimed Skynet became self aware in 1997...LOL
It's YTs petty algorithm, it's my guess some anti 2A Karen/Kevin probably complained so the bot black flagged it , Your appeal got it reinstated , so the anti griped again and the bot banned it Again . Pathetic , You can't trust the bots , their like petulant children and have a Lot to learn and too many nanny state online tutors teaching it some of their bad habits . The old fashioned but seldom used these days phrase "Mind Your Own Business" is long overdue a revival . It's a shame they done have anything better too do than complain about a video they knew they wouldn't like in the first place . This sort of attitude By YT is what will spell it's own doom , they've even started demonetizing some of the military history videos I watch because it's deemed "inappropriate or some other petty excuse to fund their corporate greed . Thanks Halfmile , catch You in 25 wishing You & Yours a Happy New Year . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well.
Will do Richard. Thank you and I really do appreciate you watching. Petulant children...that is the phrase I was searching for when I film the video...I wish I would have used that, lol. I have to admit, I did appreciate that they immediately demonetized this video and I had to request a human review...so a human had to review and see how stupid YT was...but they approved the video, lol. Have a safe a sane New Years yourself Richard...you'll get there about 8 hours before I do, lol
Good luck with them
Thanks Mike.

"Sigh" This is why I moved over to Rumble 3 years ago, I'm so tired of YT and their communism! I don't even get notifications from live streams anymore. I don't know they're going on unless I happen to be checking on that TH-camr at the moment
I need to get back to loading videos on Rumble. I have shied away as there was very little traffic and the upload process not as easy or quick as YT, but a necessary evil I guess.
Its aggravating even trying to get a comment through because of one word or it "might" offend someone. I dont mind being called a redn#@k - I couldn't spell it because it gets dropped 😂. Over-censorship 🙈🙉🙊
The age restricted video kind of follows the line that Erik Cortina tried with the term "AR15" if I recall, he was trying to see if talking about his garden hose and something else as AR15s would trigger the video being demonetized, he may have even referred to the nozzle as being both semi-auto and full-auto, lol. I kind of did the same thing referring to the home assembled gun as a homebuilt repeatedly. Biog different between assembling and building, especially when it comes to firearms.

Hammer, meet nailhead...thanks Mark P...you nailed it.
Hey, Halfmile, you are trying to reason with people who have abandoned reason. Thomas Paine said this, though more eloquently. They proclaim they have taken the high ground in morality, also a delusion. We have observed their position to be slightly elevated from the gutter, maybe curb height.
Very true murphy. So they allow so many things that the rest of us don't agree with, but cannot seem to allow our content without some sort of fight. Their impression of morality is anything but! While everything I do firearms related is done safely, and well within the confines of the law, it is viewed as second class content by the system. I have no idea where they get the idea that a home built firearm is somehow illegal, but that is their mindset.
They probably have ai doing the initial filtering. If it mentions a gun, boom, restricted.
There is some of that going on, but in addition to that they have "downgraded" my self-review. After demonetizing the rubberband gun and then age restricting the .22 cal 1911 video they are claiming I have made too many mistakes to automatically green light a video. That means it is like I am back to just like when I first started...have to have every video reviewed and approved. It's like being sent back a grade in school.
Some dude (?) Got his panties in a wad.
Wow...the system didn't like that Bayou...they hid this reply. I have to manuallt count the listed replies to see there were 6 comment missing (count was 57 showing, but I could only see 51). Took a bit but I was able to pull a few up.
