NWI INDIANA GUN OWNERS. #24 Lets face it we all love to shoot and eat

[melensdad]

Do you have trouble finding the Red Dot quickly?

I have figured out a few things.

First, my eyes are too old to focus on the front sight, despite the fact that it is one of the big dot self-glowing tritium sights.

Second, the green laser from the Viridian E Series under barrel mounted laser unit is visible and easy to see out to 50 yards, even in the sunlight. It is also super fast to find.

Third, there is a technique to finding the red dot. Bring the gun up level and the dot is right where you expect it. Bring the gun up front sight high or front sight low and you will hunt for the dot. After some practice it is pretty easy to bring the gun up and find the dot where you expect it, if you close your weak eye it is much faster. Bring it up 2 eyes open and it is harder to find the dot. Bring it up incorrectly with 2 eyes open and you need a lot more practice.

So with some practice of proper technique the dot is very easy and fast to find. I'm still faster with the laser. People who have extensive training with dots (I do not) claim the dots are as fast as lasers. Could be. It is easy for me to find the dot on a follow up shot. But I also know, I'm always slower with the irons.

Thank you - excellent summary.

Almost friday. Morning y'all.

[chef larry]

Thursday morning and waiting to see how the weather plays out tomorrow.

 

[kaveman]

Looking forward to Friday with a high in the 20's. Hope that's the last gasp of winter but expect we'll see at least one good snow in March.

I'm down for one more good snow. Think we'll get better than 6" but it'll be gone in a few days. I plan to sit tight for the weekend.

Gotta go get bread/milk/eggs today. I got enough TP to get me through the next glacial maximum.

Morning ... not as bad as predicted earlier

 

[Ballstater98]

Tahoe apparently got 4.5' in the past 24 hours.

And by the time it hits it’ll be a light dusting….MAYBE.

Oh and Morning folks.

 

[Snapdragon]

Morning, everyone.

 

[KLB]

The forecast I saw says rain, then probably freezing rain, then snow. Oh joy

And California is still under "severe drought' orders because their water board continues to dump water out into the ocean instead of filling the reservoirs.

Nothing makes sense anymore

That makes sense for California. They should just go ahead and shut off their electric grid and go back to living life like it was the 18th century

Saw a recent documentary on The Great Salt Lake in Utah. Seems they're diverting so much water away from it for Ag and urban use that it's drying up. And that's creating a huge toxic dust arsenic problem for those downwind. Now they're going to try remediation efforts which include sprinkling systems from the same water they're diverting.

Just a coincidence, but it's going to cost "billions upon billions" according to Mitt Romney. Peoples' tax $$ flows freer than the water nowadays, it seems.

Just wait until the people educated in our current schools get into power. They will find new ways to hork up everything worse than ever before.

It would have been CM's birthday today and @Snapdragon started a happy birthday thread for him back in 2019. That thread got revived today and as I was scrolling through it I see post #8 from Big Tanker. Then there is a recent thread on here which is basically a goodbye from KG1. Bad,sad stuff.

Sure seems like life sucks sometimes.

 

[kaveman]

Circle of life my friend,.......we'll all meet again. That's why it's a circle.

 

[Doug28450]

I vote for no snow and no rain. Gotta keep the contractor going on the garagemahal.

Sorry user is KG1, here's the thread:

Hello I must be Going..

Well Ingo after 14 years a member with this post I will have reached the 20k post milestone. It's been a ride. I'm taking this opportunity to announce that I will be taking a leave from Ingo to focus on some serious life issues, mainly concerning my health. Let's just say that my prognosis for...
