LOL ! I understand completely . I've wanted one of those suits for years . Of course I'd also want the perceived shooting knowledge of the person wearing the suit ....

Thanks Red . I read lots of shooting material . I'm currently struggling with the investment decision of long range hunting gear . Rifle , scope , rangefinder and related handloading gear can really add up fast . Then there is the dedication of spending tons of time & ammo at a 1000 yd. range that I do not currently have any reasonable access to . But dang , would I love learn the art of putting 5 shots into a pie plate size target at those distances !!!!! I really admire those that can .

No problem,one problem is finding the space depending where you live lol.1000 ranges dont come easy some places.The most I had was maybe 300 yards back in NH.Though I didnt have a set up for long range shooting,lots of woods though. |

Mike That they do BC.If I can ever get some day work coming in again and I can get to New Hampshire. I'll be picking up an 1861 .58 Enfield carbine reproduction.Its good for out to 600 plus yards. |

Hmmmmm , guess a double QUOTE won't take a comment with it ?
RJC , that is truely impresive with a blackpowder rifle ! Hell , I thought my 22-250 & 7 mag keeping 1 1/2 groups with a 20 and 9 power scopes at 200 was decent . I really need to get my fathers reloading equipment set up in the bacement . Just gotta find a local mentor to get me started properly . Then , next on the agenda ( some day ) will be a high power bench rest rifle .........

Some people are gifted with good sight like that,though I'm not one of them,I'm near sighted.Even though my brother was legally blind in one eye he was still drafted,isnt that a kick in the ass.Guess they thought excellent sight in one eye was good enough.I know he still has the quarters some place,I always tried to get one off of him lol.But figure that was 30 some odd years ago so whether he can find them or not is another story.I've seen him light strike anywhere matches with a BB gun too,he can shot.
