Seems pretty trim on the display.<br /><br />I've been looking for some good shirts to wear this winter. Noticed some of the ones last year are getting a little tattered on the edges.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708868713277676628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-70287756900486700362014-07-25T12:08:31.081-04:002014-07-25T12:08:31.081-04:00Envy...

Still I was there when many of our speedier regulars weren't so I was able to finish near the top.<br /><br />I have a plaque in my trophy collection for SCCA Solo II H Stock (autocross for those who don't know) because I was the only person to show up consistently in that class for a whole season and earn enough points. Even though I technically won by default I still claim it because I showed up.Scott Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-72075704279827853362014-07-25T09:38:51.849-04:002014-07-25T09:38:51.849-04:001.84 on an 8 inch plate from 15-ish is pretty spor...1.84 on an 8 inch plate from 15-ish is pretty sporty.<br /><br />I'm going to have to start coming up with some shoot-run-shoot drills.<br /><br />You asked on book of Face where I'm losing the most time.<br /><br />It's not reloads like I thought. It seems I'm playing tactical Timmy and not really breaking my shooting stance as I move.<br /><br />I need to get the gun into my strong hand only and RUN to my next shooting position (keeping the muzzle safely pointed of course).<br /><br />Guess I watched too much Miami Vice as a youth and I move more like Sonny Crockett (without pointing at my toes or the sky of course)Scott Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-71646483259683575772014-07-25T09:34:43.246-04:002014-07-25T09:34:43.246-04:00Paul,
"Lets see this Burkha."
There...Paul,<br /><br />"<i>Lets see this Burkha.</i>"<br /><br />There's a picture at the link.<br /><br />I like it because it's:<br />1) Lightweight, yet keeps my arms and neck from getting sunburned. As long as it's not too humid out, I find a light-colored, baggy, breathable overshirt to be comfier than just a dark-colored tee shirt.<br />2) Has those big, hidden "document pockets" that are great for a small camera, garage door opener, and other things I don't want to carry in my hands, but aren't bulky enough to mkae me bring a purse on a bicycle ride.<br />3) Covers my gun so I don't have to hear "Are you a cop? What kinda gun is that? Is that a Forty? Do you like Black Talons or HydraShok?" all damn day long.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-84566324582157887862014-07-25T09:07:17.806-04:002014-07-25T09:07:17.806-04:00Lets see this Burkha.

At 300 yards, actually being 298.X or 301.X is irrelevant, but I default to my Bosch DLR165 for both carpentry and close-in target setting. Bosch now has one that does 2 inches to 800 ft (266 yards), which is probably farther than most people need. Only time I need more than 165 feet of high accuracy is when laying out fences, and shooting 180 from a mid point (or several mid points) usually solves that. For my use, a 300-500 foot precision laser would be perfect. Bosch makes 'em, but my 165 is paid for. <br /><br />And, pay attention to the controls - is it easy to use, or will you be pressing multiple buttons to get the functions you want?Aliennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-55014714456126612192014-07-25T08:49:48.154-04:002014-07-25T08:49:48.154-04:00You're blowing the curve for the rest of the c...You're blowing the curve for the rest of the class.!TBeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996700909201966666noreply@blogger.com
