May have to use old school method if you know the size of the targets you will be shooting

Ok thanks. Looks like lots of rain so any little tip to help at the stages is appreciated. Was hoping to use my range finder but that is looking like a bust at this point. Level playing field for everyone now.

• Use your surfactant treatment of choice (e.g Cat Crap, or just regular soap - it's the same stuff) on your eye pro and all your optics before the match.
• Carry microfiber cloth in a ziploc bag (or even a lightweight real dry bag, even better) and wipe your glass down as you walk into each stage
• Be very mindful about mud and keeping your guns and your hands clean, e.g. if you have to crawl, do it on your elbows, not your palms.
• Since the round count is so high, keep a minimum of mags on your person (maybe 2 of each) and keep the rest in a backpack to keep them clean and dry. Swap them out between stages on the run.
• Run your guns WET with grease - as long as you've tested this before and know it won't impede your specific guns' functionality. Rain washes away light coatings of oil and then you have a "dry" gun that's more prone to malfunctions (even though it's wet with water, but you need lubrication).
• Carry a small bottle of lube you can quickly squirt onto the BCG through your ejection port if necessary. It doesn't look like real torrential rain in the forecast so extra lube will probably be unnecessary, but it's easy to carry if you're already gonna have a pack so you might as well bring it.

I’ve commented in the past that I knew I’d gotten old in 2002 when I spent more on 2 tickets to see The Eagles in Knoxville than I did on all the tickets and weed I bought in the summer of ‘76 (and that included Skynyrd, CDB, Marshall Tucker, Outlaws, Frampton, Gary Wright and a few others). For reference, tickets I the 70s were $6-$14 in the Savannah Civic Center(and weed was $20 an Oz)

I’ve made my teenage sons real fans of the music of the 70s-90s, games of “Name the Artist and Song” are a regular part of out driving, and they are good at it, and both are Rush fans.

I learned this past week that Rush is touring in ‘26 with Anika Nilles on drums. They’d love going to see Rush, even w/o NP, so I went to the 26 tour website to look into tickets in Toronto (closest to us, and really it is Rush, Toronto would be the right place)

HOLY CRAP! Nosebleed seats are $465ea, the floor is $2k+. Who pays that for a concert? At least with Rush they can reliably be expected to be actually singing and not using a backing track, but come on. Us poors aren’t gonna get to that show.

I think it'd be why in the world would Nazi Germany attack the Soviet Union and create a two front war when they had a nonaggression agreement? I don't think I've ever seen a clear answer to that particular question.

My Xero behaved similarly in the past, when I had something like six or so Shot Sessions in the queue.

It started getting troublesome when I started having ten Shot Sessions, requiring multiple reconnections.

My last outing, which had thirty, was just impossible.

Tried everything - rebooting devices, forgetting and pairing Bletooth connections, deleting and reinstalling the app, etc.

You do you. Probably easier to convince a liberal that the NFA should be abolished than to convince someone tuners don’t work . The amount of variance in 3-5 group sizes simply doesn’t allow one to make a good conclusion. My tests were comprised of 6 (5) shot groups overlayed to make a 30 shot group for each setting. The problem is those 5 shot groups had some in the .1s and some in the .4s. So how do you know which one you got in your test?
