Stefan...... I love mingus. Mingus gives me a headache, but I love it. So much. I get lost in it and have to concentrate though. Miles. Is good and more mellowish.

several tv shows are filmed in, or rather with DSLR. It is a great platform for motion or stills. I have always been a canon man myself though. Nikon is just fine, I just got into cannon and now stick with it.

Lol. I'm sure your gas is more deadly than my .308.

While going south on 36 in Roseville by a local mall the new Lamborghini in bright white was traveling north. I also saw a GTR on a trailer. Also saw a Volt driving into a driveway. The lights were cool..... But everything else sucked.

Oh that would hurt. I caught the Ruger action a couple times. The angle is just so steep for me.

I used to focus on the target. It is night and day when you change the focus to the front sight. It is accuracy and luck basically. Amazing. You should come make some noise sometime Sean. It is a great stress relief.

Not a champ, use to be slightly decent but now I'm sorely out of practice. On your safety glasses, put a piece of scotch tape over your left eye where you look out. Don't put anything dark, just something that will let the light in but obstruct your view. It doesn't have to be a big piece, a .5" square will do it. On the trigger, dry fire, dry fire, dry fire. If you have something like a .22 rifle, shoot it from the bench focusing on the trigger pull. It doesn't matter if its a stock trigger or a match one, need quality trigger time though. Also, don't concentrate to keep your eye open, you need something to focus on. That item to focus on is your front sight, you need to learn everything about that front sight. Remember (in the words of the USA pistol coach) FOCUS ON THE GOD DAMN FRONT SIGHT. When shooting you should be focusing on the front sight, then bam, the shot breaks. If you tell yourself 'hey, I need to shoot now' you'll have blown it. Breaking the trigger should almost be a surprise to you, but not a oh shit, didn't mean to do that surprise. Let your body do its natural rhythm. You would be surprised at how good a persons hold is, trust that hold and don't try to influence it to much. For some stuff you can force it, but lots of others if you force your going to be bite in the ass. The goal is to get the entire process refined enough to be driven into your subconsciousness so you don't have to think about it. Shooting is mostly a mental game, and shes a cruel mistress. For a grip, I use thumbs forward. Main pointers are suck your hand as high up into the grip as possible, be firm but not necessarily crushing the poor pistol to death (though some people do). I'm terrible at explaining grips without being able to see what I'm talking about. Google some pistol sites and see what you can find. Thumbs forward is the standard for semi-auto guns, just be mindful to not be riding the slide stop. I will do some dry fire work. So the little patch is just to help train my focus? Eventually I will be able to take it off and use both eyes? I get a perfect focus on the front sight even when using both eyes, but the target turns into 2 targets when I use both eyes. I do have really strong right eye dominance. I cannot even imagine 2 eyes open when rifle/scope shooting.

"Never look a rape horse in the mouth". Damn. Just damn.

That is why I feel the need to learn to be more comfortable getting on target or on bulls eye with both eyes open.
-
I am getting more and more away from pistol shooting, and more into rifle shooting. I only shoot at about 5-10 yards with pistol. Not trying to win records, just have fun. I just like getting better at everything I do.
-
Yes, and mine is set with the smallest grip. I was shooting my father in laws today and I think he has the medium on there.
-
If it helps my groups with pistol are always a bit up and to the left. Next to the average guy with as much shooting time as me I get more bulls eyes, but the groups are a bit more all over. I do have a problem with any trigger than an 1911 though. All other resets feel wrong and I occasionally double tap. I chalk it up to adrenalin when I'm trying hard but it's much more frequent on longer trigger resets like the ruger.

R2 When shooting I am having 2 problems that I noticed today more than ever. I am not able to shoot with both eyes open on iron sights. Everytime I line up the front and focus it to where I need it to be my stereo vision creates two target images and I loose the sight. I can close the left and put it down, but everything I read says I am handicapping myself only using one eye. Next, I have started to blink when shooting. This is a kind of new thing for me. Especially when shooting the AR10 and AK. I have to concentrait to keep my eye open, and if another shooter is working the trigger I blink every shot. I am not sure when I gained a flinch reflex but do you have any tips? Finally do you know of some good documentation on grip strategy for pistol? I am right hand right eye dominant. I fit my right hand on the grip and hold firm. I use my left around my right with a stronger grip and have both thumbs on the left. For me, my 1911 is the easiest to shoot even though the grip feels "long" and I stretch my finger a bit. With the 9mm and even with the ruger 22 in a bull bbl I feel like I can't get the grip right and just wanted to some pointers there too. The ruger angle is a nightmare for my thick wrists, but I would like to improve it a bit anyway. The XDM feels close to the 1911 but I feel like the nose comes up harder when it barks. Any tips would be great. I know you are a champ at this so I appreciate any pointers.

Awesome! I am all over it. Wifes favorite is brisket. Anything else you want in bulk as well. Yesterday's special Angus Prime NY Strip $4.04 /lb (50+ lbs) That is disgustingly good. I couldn't use that much quickly though and would have to freeze. I have never frozen beef for steaks before. Isn't that a bad idea? What, you don't have the room for 50 pounds of beef? Not in my belly in one sitting.... no homo.

Mike I am so jelly! Damnit I was that machine. I just got the Samsung 10.1. I got it and a whole leather kit for it for 350 so I couldn't pass it up. Its the big gig version. I hope to run my HT and all the living room and maybe more from it.

It's a great little device. I do have to admit, I did get one that came with some problems from the factory. I am able to remedy a few of those problems but will end up having ot send it back for a replacement. That being said, it is lightning fast. It's pretty nice to run/install something intensive on my laptop and be able to view it from my tablet. While I'm waiting for stuff on my laptop to load I close out the program and do other work on the tablet. I'm ready to get the dock that turns it into a mini laptop. After that I'll see what kind of productivity I can get out of it. If anything, it will be fun for surfing, games, mild productivity (Calender, people app, gmail, email, etc...) What didja get?
