    Not a bad score... The OH thing will come with time and practice. I got a few tips from the AMU about offhand shooting that may help. Will show ya when we can shoot together.

    Bill,

    I can't help you with the jacket, but with ~$30 I can hook you up with a high-speed low drag shooting cart!

    Not too much to tell... I guess it started on the CMP forums when he put his picture up on the picture thread. I just had to look as I know he gets around this area and may attend some of the same events I do. So last Wednesday, as part of the Creedmoor Cup East, the AMU put on a HP rifle clinic. I've been wanting to attend this for a couple years but it's always on Wednesday and I usually have to work.

    So anyway, here it is Wednesday morning I take a seat in the 2nd row and wait for the rest to show. Right in front of me sits a guy that I should recognize but drawing a blank on the name. At our first break he turns around, asks my name and we both instatly realize who we are talking to. The conversation went something like this:

    Eric: I've had a few run-in's with you on theinternet.
    Me: You've had a run in with everyone on the internet.
    Eric: You going to tell Battle Tested you met me?
    Me: If it comes up.
    Eric: Now that you met me what do you think?
    Me: Blank stare.
    Eric: Don't tell the BT guys my last name, I think they want to break in my house and steal my stuff.
    Me: I wont. Don't worry. The BT guys are not like that anyway.

    That pretty much ended the conversation. I can say a few things for sure. He's not that bad of a dude, he just has no social graces at all. He's a bit paranoid. He make a lot of assumptions about things and usually get them wrong, not because he's stupid but because he over-complicates everything. He was they guy in class that asks all the wrong questions at the wrong times. If I had to guess, his parents beat him more than talking to him while he grew up....

    Break in his house and steal his stuff??? He was serious? Really?!

    I'm starting to feel sorry for him if that's the reality he lives in.

    That is one of the funniest things I've read. Poor RT.

    I don't care about his last name but I always did feel a soft spot for him. I wanted him to be okay but he wouldn't allow himself to be.
