Thanks Jack and some days the last flag or two are more truthful than the first two. I try to use the sight in period to also try to figure out who is telling the me truth and who is now lying as it can change from one match to the next or at times during the day. But more times than not if one has enough patience and time they will eventually all agree and I will wait. But some days they just don't want to so or do it enough times within the alloted time so I am also pre prepared so I don't get caught with my pants down and don't end up left scratching my head. I used to be able to shoot five conditions with full confidence but after my stroke I had to relearn it all and can now only shoot three. But I will also only do so when I absoulutly have to now and prefer to just wait for the same one to return. Back in my CBA days five gave me real competitive edge having only 10 minutes for score and 15 for group. Now with CBA long gone and it's all Schuetzen here now three so far has been more than enough to get through a match. Mirage is not quite as difficult to learn but seeing the direction it is clearly running has now become my biggest issue while looking through my scope with my bad eye. And I am to far along in life to want to change to left handed shooting and going over to my good eye. The offset bases are also just to awkward for me to want to use so I just keep trucking along trying to do my best with what I have and still having a hell of allot of fun trying.

this sort of issue is what makes some people give up, and others try harder.

Bruce I have seen those who are not willing to put in more time and effort just walk away from it. When I first started my first goal was to come in second to last just once and it took me two years to get there. Folks back then at the top wanted to remain there and just not willing to share. Once I finally made it there it has always been my goal to help others to get there and then it's been up to me to work harder to try and stay there. Leaving one alone only to become discouraged is to me not what the sport is all about or how to make it grow. If a new fellow can find just one little spark of improvement each time he goes out he will typicaly keep coming back. But there are a few of those who just don't like loosing and want to win right out of the gate unfortunately who won't stick around long if at all.

Yes Sir and indeed True.

Thanks John,

I have always gotten plenty of good advice from fellow shooters quite a bit of it contradictory, but it always gave me something new to try.

I have plenty down here at Capitol City range.  I can bring some with me to Tacoma if you wish.  Will twitchy winds 15-20 Mph be OK?

Jack

Hopefully we wont have a repeat of the winds in Spokane from a few years ago when wind flags were blowing over.  I had a wind sock that I weighed down with a couple of bullets that managed to unscrew the socket off of the light stand.
