    I have a 5 foot inseam, but the distance between my waist and my shoulders is about 4 inches. My legs go all the way to my neck, literally.

    realism points? nerd.

    I test my pens with a trigger pull weight gauge. They're pretty close, +/- .01 oz.

    In a competition, I once moved from a 200-400 yard stage with movers... this requires the parallax and magnification and turret adjustments to have one particular setting.

    The next stage was a 100 yard tiny group hot mess. I goose-egged it because I still had my 400 yard dope, magnification, and parallax set. Goose Egg. Zero-effin-points.

    I lost a competition (from 1st place to 6th place) because I forgot to reset my adjustments.


    REAL WORLD application is that as an urban sniper (think police marksman on a swat team), you need to quickly ID your target. Opeing up that aperture (by lowering the magnification) will make sure you're able to do that. Get your equipment ready for the next time you pull it out of the bag. an analogy for this is that when you take out the trash, you put a new liner in immediately, not the next morning when you've got an arm full of trash and realize that you don't have a liner in there.

    Are you just asking for people to switch the photos with the text in your posts or are you just that oblivious?

    Good stuff, Belly.

    *applause*

    I can also raise my hand for the "bad breathing" club. Seriously, a lot of times I would exhale and hesitate for a few moments, and squeeze. You know, trying to be super still and stuff. I'll be working on that by dry fire method as described now. I remember the trigger squeeze advice from a previous video, although this video was more clear for me anyways, I get what you mean more gooder now. I can fine tune my target alignment, I don't think I was far off on that,...... and the scope settings and and all that is still kinda greek to me, I think all my scopes are fixed mag....I'm scope ignorant mostly, lots of work to do there.

    Thank you very much, brother. I appreciate it. The follow up was great too. Cool.
