    RafterW Yup, that is the place, they have done a great job in there. Dont know what happened to Thunderbirds, they weren’t there long but it seems to be doing really well now. Actually…I take that back, I do know what happened, not a good story.

    processhead That actually would have worked really well for what I was wanting too…I am a big buyers remorse guy though, I always buy something and then see something else and think “oh, that was better wasn’t it?” I assume you like that though?

      I try to avoid impulse purchases and do at least a bit of homework on stuff. I hate the buzz kill when something I think I want real bad turns out to be something other than what I was expecting.

        Jonathon A friend told me when I bought my first computer many years ago, once you buy one stop looking because in a week a better one will come out. It was good advice.

          RafterW I have shot at range 54, nice place with good help but Rainier https://www.rainierarmsfa.com/ is a lot closer to both work and home so it is easier. Plus, I know head trainer there so that helps. Ive also gone to Bullseye for their indoor 100-yard range.

          GWG8541 Yeah, I am sort of figuring that out. I initially had it all the way up but then realized that is actually makes it harder at anything beyond 30 yards or so to hit a small target. Aim small miss small is a good idea in my mind (and just as importantly it was in The Patriot!) so that is what I try to do.

          Jonathon I tell shooters that Mel Gibson shooting class “aim small, miss small” actually works. Great movie.

                              Take a look at railscales. My buddy owns the company. They manufacture everything in Tulsa. Good stuff. Will be putting some of their hardware on my pistol build. https://railscales.us/

                              The Karve-P is what I’m putting on my build, for sure. Maybe some of their railscales for grip texturing too.
