THE CZickness XLVIII....."The Holidays are Coming" edition...

[Firehawk]

I may need counseling, that’s why I joined up here.

In the words of “Shooter”
“Why did you come?”
“For wisdom”
“Well, son, you’ve come to the wrong place”

Morning y’all!

Morning all...

Morning

Avatars can be just as confusing as screen names. I was confused when Hannabone didn't look like Rosie O'Donnell. And Hoosier45 used to have a picture of Johnny Noveske as his avatar, it was before I knew anything about Noveske, so I thought that was H45 in the picture.

Only avatars I ever noticed were Printcraft's and vitaminK's. Scared me so bad I haven't looked at one since.

Was pleasantly surprised last night when I found out HKS made a speed loader for the 9-shot H&R 22 revolvers. Even better, I found them on Ebay and was able to negotiate a whole $3 off asking price!

Probably, I'm not becoming a true 'morning person', but I'm up !

Happy Saturday all! Might mosey up to the Tipton gun show today.

Happy Saturday all! Might mosey up to the Tipton gun show today.

Not a gun show, but I used to attend many native American pow-wows, and my favorite was in Tipton. As I became more known in their communities, I was even invited (and did) join in the sacred dance circle.
Now, my knees wouldn't hold-up, but I was starting to get the hang of it !

Back when I ordered my Noveske you ordered them directly from them. The person I talked to was John himself. He said that he would be the one that would be building it. Very nice gentleman.

@gmcttr @mcapo and all of the tech savvy people in here.

Looking (very loosely looking) at downrange camera systems for seeing my targets at 200 - 300 yards. I currently have the ability to mount my phone on my spotting scope, but the image quality ends up not being ideal to see small bullet holes precisely on non-splatter targets.



gmcttr, I think you have the SME system? If so, do you like it? They have a 300-yard system for around $260.

It looks like top level F-class shooters are using the ShotMarker system out to 1000 yards. It's $799, requires a proper frame setup and has a 12-16 week lead time. That's probably way overkill for me, even if it looks awesome and appears to be very reliable.

I know we have plenty of tech guys in here, so I'll ask a super dumb question. Is it possible to somewhat easily use a smartphone downrange as the camera and use a 2nd smartphone or tablet back at the firing line to see that camera's view remotely?

Take a picture of it, fondle it for you, say hi to the seller?

Take your wife's or daughters smartphone, mount it downrange and FaceTime or zoom, etc. Or buy a cheap used phone and a pay as you go plan.

Good Morning, CZers ! ! ! ! ! ...... wish the coffee had the actual perk up like those ! ! ! !

He will need more data than that.

Shoot sequence, timing, pattern analysis, laddering degrees from mean, group size statistics.

Lol (sort of).

I knew someone that had the earlier generation sme one. It was a pain. Granted, it was being used at max and beyond distances.

I’m guessing the newer ones have improved.

I’ve looked very seriously at the Autotrickler one many times. The quality of the powder drop is over the top and at some point, I’d like to shot distance again with regularity .

What I really mean to say is:

I have not a clue but you should buy one.

If you just want long range pictures, thus may be an affordable compromise. Says 1 mile range, YMMV

Morning all!
I see the wheels have already been turning in here this morning. I'm still on my first cup of coffee.
