Cant remember if I told you guys I settled on an Az house.....3-5yr plan as a backup for my daughters if they need to hang with me. After that I sell it and buy something remote in Utah, etc.

3bed, 2 bath and 3 car garage....the 3rd car garage will be my gym. At least I get a 8500' lot, so I get a walled-in backyard I'm gonna rock over and have my grill/smoker on covered patio, firepit in the middle of yard and throw some archery targets out. Looks like I'll be able to do 90' shot along the sidewall with the RV gate entrance.:). I gotta find out if legal to do low power airgun in yard.....I might do a 10m positional range.

Low/No Light round two.

Except tonight it's long guns. Target transitions, shooting on the move, and keeping the god damned shot gun running and fed. I'm definitely getting better at that. Been putting a lot of work in using the match saver, and top loading with the side saddle when the gun goes dry, and getting another round off quickly.

With the match saver, and under loading from the side saddle, I'm getting better at being able to at least get one chambered, and a couple more into the tube fairly quickly. While the gun is still up and mostly on target.

That's been a challenge for me honestly. 1.0, 1.35ish from the match saver is no longer completely out of the question as long as I don't bobble it up and have the bolt handle hit my hand while hitting the bolt release.

Also, I had a pretty good example of why I don't like to rechamber rifle rounds repeatedly. I have some gold dots that have been chambered maybe four times a piece. And three out of ten didnt go off. 1000010597.jpg1000010599.jpg

Yeah...did a deposit and signed contract a few weeks back. Supposed to finish build end of sept or early Oct. I even added a 5kw PV system for the roof last week. I have a really good friend living there that did recon and explained monsoon season water flows and where and where not to live. "semi-happy"......that sounds about right. I need to get back to taking care of myself, and I think this will give me opportunity to start over. Once I get a new motorcycle, I'll plan some roadtrips.

I might even do a small mortgage just so I have a little more reserve for some investment. With only a $640 mortgage, I can hammer that double every month with my VA disability and still have my wife's pension. Or I bite the bullet and pay cash and implement a plan a friend helped me with to do some investment and live off of my 3K monthly income. Either way, I can take my time looking for something to do partime.

Good times on those bills up there Kenny.

Fucking slow night at the market. Made 48 bottles of hot sauce over the weekend, and sat at the damn thing for 4 hours. $168. Sales are always less without my ol lady, probably because I look like a fucking convict.

I find I can rarely get the splits going fast out of the gate, even if I smoke the draw like I did there, I always struggle bus with the first couple split times. Probably stemming some where from not enough confidence in my grip or something I dunno.

I'm happy being able to do under 2.5 on demand, I'll be even happier when I can do flat 2.00s on demand lol.

LOL. I damn sure do not like Kennedy, but Stoeger walks around with some big britches because he rubs elbows with some military elites. Honestly he needs to shut the fuck up too.

I've had my fingers broken and hyperextended and everything else from BJJ and wrestling so much that they're all fat, slow, and inarticulate as all hell.

I'd need a Glock switch to get to a 2.00s Bill, lol.

I thought Tim Kennedy was cool after he gave my son a high five after one of his fights. I had no idea he was such an idiot on numerous topics for a long time, I was ignorant about it all. Now I’m pissed that I thought he was cool for years, lol.

RunCam update: Now that I'm able to sync the phone app to the camera I took it out to the range today for the 2nd time. I was able to get the live preview on my phone and could rotate the camera so it was straight. As previously mentioned; the sound quality is not so great -- voices are muffled like you're underwater. It was sunny so the downrange targets were kinda washed out in the video. There are adjustments I could've made in the app but didn't....maybe next time. Once I went downrange and got closer to the targets; no issues in clarity.

The camera is on a flexible rod that you can bend in any direction as well as the ability to rotate the actual lens. Because of this, you have to be careful and not accidentally touch/bump it, otherwise you could tilt the camera. I did this a couple of times and had to reset it with the live view VIA the phone app. It's easy to bump the camera if you don't want 1 long video but instead turn it on and off between drills. I found this easier to post-process edit.

Here's a vid of an Airsofter using the cam. It will give u an idea of the vid quality and the muffled audio. I sucked too much at the range to post my footage. :(

Did u fill in the dead space after popping off the gel pads? I filled mine with foam ear plugs and it helps deaden more sound while maintaining the same electronic amplfied voice levels. I previously posted a vid from YouTube that showed this.

I also recently got the walkie talkie's for them and they work nicely.

For some reason I wasn't getting notifications for this thread. I feel like I missed so much these last two weeks.

Anyway, going to shoot a legit PRS qualifier match Saturday. I've only shot small club matches with a few shooters previously. Gonna get smoked for sure. Haven't had the opportunity to practice much positional shooting out to 1100yds. Expectations are low.

Don't get DQd, and finish top 75 is the goal.
