I only ended up with the power belts because everything else was gone and the season starts on Saturday. I only bought a 20 pack and am down to only six projectiles so I'll probably be going back to get the large package. Anyway, loading a bunch yesterday I didn't notice they went down the dirty barrel any easier, so I'm not sure about them being undersized. I shot the aerotip first, then a powerbelt and put them both on the steel with the first two shots so the accuracy is probably there.
I'm complaining a little more than I should because after those shots I moved back to 150ish yards and couldn't hit the steel, so I set up a board with a target sheet and couldn't even get anywhere on that at all. So when I moved back in to 100 yards my shoulder was getting sore (making me anticipate) as my confidence was shot. Still managed to put a few more on the steel and paper at 100, so I'm likely okay.
What I'm dealing with now is for some reason I set my rear sight slightly left last year, and all my shots are a few inches left at 100. I bent a small screw driver trying to loosen the damn sight and don't know what to do about it.
Hold towards rear of the rib cage?
Read the package insert that came with the power belts, most of their ?jacketed? ones are slightly undersized.
But I am sure as you mentioned it?s just other factors.
Doesn't matter now. I was picking up my Axis and had Ark look at the rear sight of the muzzleloader (I couldn't get it off) and the whole thing is messed up so I have to put my spare sight on and recenter it anyway. Fun.

I'm sorry your venture didn't work out with your partner as you'd hoped. I know that would disappoint me far more than if the 'business' failed for relevant reasons.
Still, nice to see you.
Bummer.Quote:

Thanks CN and OBC. The dissapointing part is not only losing a "good" friend but just losing more time with nothing to show for it but a burning anger, I already had that market cornered already.
This year for friends has been a weired one. I have lost 3 friends i would have taken a bullet for just to figure out in almost a decade (2 and one of 30 years) of knowing people you really have no clue who someone is.

Hope everyone in the Ho Nation is doing well!
I encountered something today that I found extremely disappointing. While rerouting around the detour on 8th i decided to go down to 7th via an alley. Halfway through I saw an American flag still attached to a wooden pole sticking out of one of the trash bins behind a house.
Needless to say the flag is now under my care.
I also took specific note to which bin it was discarded as the addy was preprinted on it by the city when it was issued.
I feel that way about my ex'sQuote:

Should be put to good use there :)
Only 410 guests on the forum. Must have just missed the reset.
Think I heard the counter was off.
Cn thats how i got my flag out in front of my house. I watched my neghbors wife rollit up and put it in there (new) and went over and asked if i could have it. After this year ill have to make the trip to the vfw or va and get it retired.
AmenQuote:

It's a pretty damn simple thing to hope all of us have a decent Thursday.
I hope for that.

That’s actually not a bad idea at allQuote:
