Ahhh, slow, but still, learning.

Well, the "stuff" I ordered at Jim Gier's recommendation to make my front windage sight behave arrived today, so I'm putting all those LR shooters at Forsyth on notice. But I may be done with prone, my body is not yet fully recovered after 6 days! And I'm wondering about tilting the rear staff forward a bit for a better site picture at 1000. Midrange is coming up soon at Worland. Are staff positions intended to be fluid for different ranges in contrast to those with elevated targets at long range versus level?

In viewing the Alliance results it appears that those who consider the wind their friend did well in challenging conditions. Maybe some day...

The DI takes place in Phoenix. I was gonna post some really smart ass stuff here, but I decided against it. Different game than Forsyth, that’s what I will say. There are plenty of Forsyth threads.

It's ok Jonny, we know if you hang around DD long enough some of that will start rubbing off on you.

Be careful tho, as long as it took him for that last comeback, he may be slipping a few cogs.

Jonny V, My response didn't get posted so I'll try again. Yep, Forsyth and Big Hill, which I shoot, are different games than Phoenix. Not sure I understand your point but I do appreciate you withholding smart-ass comments. We are all trying to improve our shooting skills while having fun, regardless of the venue. I've never shot paper except at our local 200 yard range. I hope to shoot midrange for the first time at Worland next month and even the DI next winter, weather permitting, to see what I can learn. I'm past the age of embarrassment and am not getting younger. I found your video at the recent DI to be helpful. Thanks for sharing that.

I made a list of what Johnny V needs to get done before he returns to the Desert International before I left for home back in February.
Looked for that list yesterday and today. Haven't found it yet and don't, off hand, recall any of the salient points other than the list was long.

I need improvement in every aspect of my shooting game, that’s a fact. The list would be long indeed! You know what they say about eating an elephant right? Grab your knife and fork, start at the ass, and go one bite at a time!

Meant no disrespect Mike…was having a little too much fun last night, paying for it this morning lol! I’m not sure what my point was either come to think of it.

Mike hope to see you make it to Worland. Don't forget about the original Creedmoor match at Kenny's over labor day, and the Creedmoor match at Byers in Sept. All 3 of those will be good experience for serious long range work going forward

Yep, Worland's going to reveal a lot to me. I'm looking forward seeing you Don.

SEMTAV once again offered himself up for casual spearing: "Be careful tho, as long as it took him for that last comeback, he may be slipping a few cogs."

Although I am less than flattered by some comment related to SEMTAV's ongoing transition to adult level of education, I, unlike SEMTAV, have a life outside of online forums. AND, I do feel a bit of fleeting remorse in having to point out and to correct some his more egregious displays of cognitive decline.

Some may suggest otherwise and their objections basically boil down to a failure to understand the fine points hidden in the English language.
That being the difference between differing understanding between the words jealousy and envy. Honestly, I attribute these picadilloes to SEMTAV just being SEMTAV. And to me that is all good. Because, in actuality, he can't help but be himself, whatever that is at any given point in time.

Well you got to admit, this site has gotten pretty boring since most of the experimenters that actually posted their work have either passed on or been run off.

Boring is close, I was thinking more like comatose.
