Malinios....when it blowing so hard that you can't stand up then it ain't worth shootin' in. Just wasting the expensive bullets. Jerry, I was too busy doing the physics quiz, besides I started a lead with the slightly past middleaged women and their lingere show at the TN states.

I tried shooting at a HP ram today and had to put 5 minutes on. I held on his ass and hit him in the nose. That was with the 5 minutes. All you di is develope bad habits which I have way too many of right now.

Jerry G, your only bad habit is not knowing where you are from!!!! Well maybe a few others as well, like taking care of Crackers.

You are right Mary. When your house has wheels, who cares. Just remember, crackers is yours at CO. I'll take him back for 3Point a week later.

It was 55f and calm this morning. I shot the 1,000m target and missed the guess on the wind. It wasn't calm. I shot the 500m target and was on for el and 1" left.

I know Crackers is mine for CO and I'll even take him back to the airport if he flies in as I will have to go back to exhange cars anyway. But if you are taking him a week later that must mean you are not planning on attending AZ in Tuscon. Oh boy something else to pick on you about.

Mary, It really hurts knowing your going to AZ and I'll be missing out. Heck by the end of October we may have snow here as the leaves have already started to fall and some geese flocks are already headed south.... not a good sign I'm afraid.

259...jump on a plane, I'm borrowing rifles for both matches. We could stir the pot some. I'll need the stress relief of a little shooting after the pending audit next week, and the new engineers and their 'production line calibration methods'.

I remember leaving Phoenix Nationals in '01 and discovering I had 7 1/2 minutes of windage on the .270. Do the math on that....
