Silver Maples tend to rot out inside the trunk once they hit 70 + years but they make excellent street/shade trees & arent nearly as dirty as elms. I believe the largest circumference trunk in Denver is a Silver Maple but its been a few years since I checked the record.
Is that a Silver Maple Irving?
Not really relevant but I prefer my coffee from 7- eleven.Quote:

I confirmed that I met two other members from here yesterday. I enjoy putting faces to names. Might be a third that if he's available ever, Id lovelovelove to train with.
So I mentioned it to him & he seemed amiable to the idea. Maybe I'll finally get to take a few private lessons this summer instead of going to 'camp'. Prefer it that way too.
I do know it's hard to make time to teach just one person & really is more of a favor to me than anything. I love shooting & its all I want to do, but technically I'm just a hobbyist so understandably not a priority.
If wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak.
Part of why I love going to matches.
Only 15 -20 bucks & I get a custom training course, help setting up & breaking down, the facility @ which to use it & then I get shown firsthand different methods to approach all the various situations by nice & skilled people. Plus I get to see everyone's gear, in use. Freakin bargain & I dont understand why some folks don't view it that way.
I have a DD rolled et al... still good for a bit longer, maybe until fall.Quote:

... so unfortunately I can't confirm if my rifle/ammo/zero was dialed in as much as I'd hoped. I think I'm going to use Hornady again for next months match too.
You're either in the "new shooter who is way over thinking everything" stage, or the "serious long distance shooter who measures every variable" stage and I don't shoot enough rifle to tell which.
If you're shooting a Texas Star at 100 yards in under 10 shots then chances are good that you're stuff is dialed in just fine.
