How's little HB doing tonight?
I'm back, and the competition is done.
i finished not first and not last, somewhere almost in the middle, actually......but more on the north end of the bottom 1/3rd.
391 points possible, the winner shot 48%, and I got 9% hits. Here's my key metric, though: I had a personal hit ratio of about 40%. When I shot, I was almost positive that I was going to hit the target. I did not waste ammo just to make expensive noise. When
Most importantly, here's the companies whose swag that I walked away with (which is a mix of the official prize table and people walking up to me after the awards ceremony):
River Valley Rifles (Tennessee)
Triad Tactical ( www.triadtactical.com )
XCED Training Solutions ( www.xcedtraining.com )
Operators Suppressor System ( www.osstechcorp.com )
Wilder Tactical ( www.wildertactical.com )
North Texas Rifle Precision ( www.northtexasrifleprecision.com )
T.A.B. Gear ( www.tabgear.com )
WieBad ( www.wiebad.com )
Bushnell Optics ( www.bushnell.com/tactical )
I have a LOT of topics in mind for upcoming videos.
Congrats, Belly.........Nice job. Cool on the extra stuff too.
OBC

Glad you had a good time Belly, and met some pretty cool dudes in the process.
Thanks Brutal...I'll mess with it.
Mostly better, thanks for asking. He's in bed nowQuote:

But seriously, did you get a triadtactical stock pack? I've read a lot about them and if I need to raise my check weld, I'll probably get that one.
I know the whole experience was challenging, Belly,..what would you say the hardest challenge was for you though?
from triad, I got this: https://www.triadtactical.com/Triad-...oting-Mat.htmlQuote:

Yea, I don't think I'll be upgrading my stock anytime soon. The HS Precision feels very comfortable for me, but my cheek could be just a tad bit higher. I'll probably use some old closed cell foam taped to the rifle for a while lol.Quote:

I know what you're talking about...I feel the same way about computers.
Oh I'm sure bro. I gave up on PB.Quote:

Just copy and paste what you get when you click on the IMG .
You're over thinking it.
Go to PB and bring up your image. Click on IMG or click in the box with the code, either works.
Come back here and right-click - paste (I prefer to use shift-insert)
Preview or post it.
I think someone just needs to show you a few tricks instead of trying to 'splain it.
Are you trying to navigate forward/back on one browser window or opening a window/tab to each site? I can't imagine trying to do anything with the former.
I have one on my 700P LTR. The one with the cartridge holders on the inside of a zippered pouch.Quote:

How tall are the rings?Quote:

Damn snow again!
You need the whole string in there and it has to have a valid image extension (.jpg) in this case to recognize it as an image.Quote:

I use different browsers when doing this shit Brutal.
PB is toggling back and forth with some beta stuff that's making it harder for me. There is no way in the beta to select what link you get, you just get ONE. I don't wanna bore everyone to death in this thread trying to learn about it. I"ll just say thanks for those that tried to help me, and leave it at that for now.
So, where's the party at tonight?
