BigDave Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Just a hint, I'm not the one shooting in that photo. Twix/3qt - Do I really appear that big in person, or does the camera add 15 inches to my height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Did someone perhaps name you "Big Dave" for a reason...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Well I do have to say the first time I saw you I thought one of the Pacers had walked into the restaurant!!! I do remember that guy being pretty short. ( Even to a runt like me!!!) It probably is kind of a handicap when the timer usually goes off behind your shoulder. Most of us can't reach high enough to put it by your ear!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Dave, It looks like the barricade comes up to your chin. Is it a short wall or ar you THAT tall? Man low ports must suck for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 low ports do suck!!! However, shooting positions where you shoot one string above a bar and one below that is at waist level are cool b/c I can drop to my knees at the start of the COF and change my shooting position and index very little. Being tall has its advantages, but not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus The Bum Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Don't feel bad, man. I'm 6'6" and I cry every time I have to shoot from one of those barricades or shoot low ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twix Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Objects in the foreground usually appear a little larger, but you are a big'un. It's nice having someone around that can hold the car up while we fix the flat, those cheesy OEM jacks take too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groupguy Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 "Being tall has its advantages, but not many." Big Dave, Come on now, being tall has many advantages. Here are a few off the top of my head, which you typically can't see 'cause I'm 6'8". -Hi capacity pistols aren't too big for your hands. -Keeps you out of a lot of fights and those that are dumb enough to try are usually short drunk guys, easy prey. -There's no such thing as a bad seat at a concert. -Your wife can always find you in a crowd. -Often mistaken for professional athletes, I've signed dozens of autographs. -Most people can't see your bald spot. -Women dig big guys. -It's much cooler to be known as "Big Dave" than "Little Dave". I've been this tall since I was 14 and I wouldn't trade places with a short guy for anything. Big Ry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 Big Ry, Yup, those are all so true. One other you forgot, getting that damned spider off the ceiling doesn't require a step ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Yea but you fellas can't relate to a movie like 'Rudy' at all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Next time one of you TALL dudes even thinks about bitching that you're tall, just try being SHORT!!!!! Gah!!! A cruel fate! (And getting spiders off ceilings requires long-handled whatevers. Just smash the suckers and leave them there.)(BTW, don't ever vacuum up a live spider. It doesn't kill 'em... they just manage to crawl out!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 David and I are the original odd couple - he's 6'5" and i'm 5 feet almost People stop us on the street and tell us what a cute couple we make - baugh! Actually, a dude we were shooting with Sunday said the same thing to me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
