    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?

    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.

        Jonathon you got me thinking about AR’s and I just ordered a pistol kit in 300 blk. Complete 8.5" upper and lower parts kit, brace buffer tub…everything a guy needs but the lower housing.

                          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.

                                        Jonathon better hope Mrs. Tremblay doesn’t decide she likes target shooting too.
                                        I don’t think he will be able to sell enough brats to cover all the 5.56 ammo they will be shooting up.

                                          I bought a case of 5.56 a few weeks back, got it around .52 a round. Then bought more 6.5 (ouch) and .22 mag as well, have more than enough 9mm and a little .380 for my wife handgun.
