  1. Need some info on parking an extra large RV during the Dust Devil Classic. I've been informed of the Wishing Well RV park which is 8 miles away from the range. ...close but very few amenities there Another RV park in Marana is only 23 miles away (according to Mapquest) ...all the bells and whistles but I've been told this is a 50 minute drive to the range. Does anyone have any info on this situation? ~Nanci~
  2. How could that be Merlin...or even a Texas tree stand? There's no cowboy hat.
  3. I have no right to question him.......not! If I had questioned him earlier he might not be in the dog house right now. Yes, I know my place.....to keep his butt out of trouble. lol, I don't think my parents thought or lived that way in 1955.
  4. Creative way to get $20 out of your husband
  5. Can you peel potatos?? Jim Hey Jim, How long are you gonna stay in that doghouse?
  6. "For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother... Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day." I kept looking for the part which might be construed as a similar sentiment... These two parts might fit that description. There is a reward for joining the ranks of the brave few who would take up arms. Honor, respect, love...
  7. 86% Beat my husband again!
  8. No admonition intended dajarrel, only adding to an already awesome statement. +1 on the fair weather patriot...seems to be a current theme also! December 18, 2006...This morning on NBC's "Today" show, Sen. Clinton was asked about her 2002 vote and offered a slightly evolved answer. "Obviously, if we knew then what we know now, there wouldn't have been a vote," she said in her usual refrain before adding, "and I certainly wouldn't have voted that way."
  9. ok, the rochambeau thing is definately not for me...or him either... He changed the picture so I'll forgive him...this time.
  10. dajarrel, how could you leave off the best part? ...Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Thomas Paine 19 December 1776
  11. I always let him off easy...BTW, what is Rochambeau...that might be next.
  12. Jim's still upset with me since I beat him at the club match last Saturday.
  13. To All Concerned: Jim will be punished...severely!
  14. Don't ever try to fool your mother..you will loose.
  15. When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out. author Pastor Martin Niemoller (1892-1984) "His poem is well-known, frequently quoted, and is a popular model for describing the dangers of political apathy, as it often begins with specific and targeted fear and hatred which soon escalates out of control." "First they came...." Wikipedia. Wikipedia, 2007. Answers.com 20 Feb. 2007. http://www.answers.com/topic/first-they-came We as firearms owners, regardless of what kind of firearm we choose to use, or what purpose we use them for (hunting, shooting sports, plinking etc.) must remember that attacks on any aspect of our rights as firemarms owners affect us all. If we do not stand together when they get around to your particular interest there may be no one left to stand with you. Throughout history small groups of people have been separated out and persecuted while the majority stood by and did nothing. It is only when individuals unite and stand together that they cannot be overcome. United We Stand, Divided We Fall. MHO
  16. All I can say is Wow! I thought I was a busy person but...wow!
  17. That barrel sure does look bigger from that angle doesn't it? Tripped me out the first time I watched it! As far as the "small hands" thing, I wasn't refering so much to my grip as the fact that I can't hit the mag release. You'll notice that I have to "flip" the gun so to speak before my mag falls. Sorry if I changed subjects on you mid post! I do that. Hey LP, Many people have that problem where they can't reach the mag release without rotating the gun thereby loosing their grip and having to re-acquire their grip again. This can also cause the shooter to nearly exceed the 180 degree safe line by pointing the muzzle up and over their shoulder. Not saying that you did this but I've seen this happen to others. I have an extended mag release on my STI Trubore that I'm sure many other shooters have also and find helpful. If Dawson is working on your new gun, this add-on would be worth the extra cost. Some people don't use them because they inadvertantly drop the magazine with their left hand while gripping the gun. Just ask my husband.
  18. Hey LP, I just checked on your new video...kinda weird looking down the barrel of the gun...it's only a movie, it's only a movie. lol I tried to focus on your thumbs as that was the part we had discussed earlier. A right handed shooter will have their right thumb on the grip safety (only release safety after you clear leather of course). I have seen the left thumb ride on top of the right thumb, park on top of the extended slide stop, or just run parallel to the right thumb and find a spot to stop at. This part of your grip is important to develop early because once you find your grip it's hard to change it. Did your new gun show up yet? When you have your new gun, your grip may change again. You mentioned short fingers but I don't that at all. Your fingers appear to wrap around the grip with plenty of left-overs. Hope you're able to make it up to Albuquerque on Saturday(2-17) for the match. See ya then.
  19. Possibly starting with me... I'm next!
  20. +1 ...I was wondering if someone else found this behavior peculiar. He is so predictable I can always tell when he's preparing to cock his head like the little dog on the RCA advertisement. Good call Flex
  21. #3 is a looser...but also a winner. Of Course, when the boat sinks, she can use the fat dude as a flotation device. PT22...Pathetic Torture ~Nanci~
  22. We need more chicks like that! What's her address, I've got some spare ammo I want to send her. ~Nanci~
  23. Hey Jane... Ditto on the Valentine's Day Gift. Wanna see what my husband gave me for Valentine's day a few years ago? Nanci
  24. Would that be 4 brave but battered husbands?
  25. Heya Little Pistol, I've watched both of your videos and I see improvement from first to second. Your stance is now a bit more aggressive...which is good. It's hard to imagine recoil while you're dry firing unless you have many hours on the range. BTW, when you're on the range, work on 1 thing at a time and remember what you learned so that the dry firing exercise is not wasted. Your speed in drawing and presentation looks fast but needs more "smooth" and deliberation. The one thing I've noticed about your grip is your left thumb does have not a "place" to rest. It must have a place that it rests on every time you draw. Find that place and put it there every time you establish your grip. When I learned to shoot my single stack style gun (too many years ago to mention) I trained my left thumb to sit on the extended slide stop. It took many iterations before it would behave on its own but now it seems natural. When I got my new open gun I had to find that spot all over again but the original training paid off and now this seems natural also. Keep up the good work, be diligent and become consistent. You're off to a good start. ~Nanci~
