    Well, I think motivation, creativity and learning process involved in turning nothing into something is very admirable. It's just one more way that you can show you're a provider as even if you lose your job, you can still make a living.

    I wouldn't call it a living... I've only made $520 in two months.

    He's actually impressed with my eBay stuff... He admires the hard work and determination to make money with it... I think that's some brownie points right there...
    Impressing your girlfriend's dad is pretty straightforward. Dads want the very best for their daughter and demonstrating that you have her best interest at heart, and are capable of taking care of her is usually paramount. Good for you, with your eBay store!

    Ah, gotcha. I usually just setup a target at 25yds for sighting in a 22 (though you can move it closer if you have iron sights or bad vision). I think you traditionally do 3 shots to see how the grouping develops, then you adjust the scope or iron sights. It can be a little tricky to understand how the scope moves, so its best to put the scope on a bench and looking through the scope, turn the turret one way continually (counting ticks) and rather fast until you see what it does to the crosshairs. Then, you attempt to move the crosshairs over the point of impact. It depends on what caliber you are sighting in too, because its silly to sight a 308 in at 25yds. If you'll be shooting the 22 primarily at 25-50yds, then zero it at either one and you'll be golden.

    No, but you probably aren't focusing 8 hours a day on doing it either, are you? If you devoted much more time to it, you probably could turn it into a living.
