I finally broke down and ordered myself a 1712. I guess I am somewhat fully invested in the sport now. Even though I have not made very many matches I really enjoy the game and the great people I've met at Benton and Fort Smith. Buying the 1712 was kind of a motivational its getting serious now thing. I bought the gun from Bud's gun shop online. $1278.00 was their cash price, which was a slightly lower price than I had seen anywhere else. I'll post again after she comes in and I can try her out.

The words "fully invested" as they relate to this sport will take on a new meaning soon....Contratulations on your new purchase.

Let the 'bling' begin

There's a very good reason the 1712 is the benchmark in this sport - it just plain works.

Picked up my 1712 at lunch! Would'nt you know its raining today. Won't get to shoot. Oh well I'll clean it and mount the scope tonight and practice dry firing.

Here come the ammo trials. New rifle, new trials.
Congratulations and have fun.

Mary two things. #1 Clearly the man is innocent, even he calls himself Shakes! #2 I'll be the guniea pig on this one, maybe I missed it somewhere else, but what is snoss?

JB,
1) If Shakes knows he shakes then he should sit down or suffer the consequenses.

SNOSS=Southern Nationals Orange Shirt Society. Now do I have to go into details on that one? I'm sure that some of the other members will jump in on this one.

I can't help it. In the winter months it gets cold up here in the northwest and you cant sit down becuase the seats colder than a polar bears nose.

Shakes,
I refuse to inquire on how you might know the temperature of a polar bears nose, especially when taking that temerapture with certain parts of anatomy. But I will ask do you have a seat warmer for the Harley?

I dont keep track of all their names, that way she doesnt get to attached

Shakes, you need to plan on attending the Dan Healy Southern Trifecta, seriously, you would be in the running for a chance to become an official member of SNOSS. While the SNOSS competition occurs at Winny the overall character of the potential inductees is judged throughout the course of the trifecta tournaments.

If I can scrape together enough time off I plan on doing all three. May have to take days off with no pay, but if I can be a member of SNOSS its got to be worth it.

Shakes,
The Authentic Louisana Democrat International Orange shirt with Franklin Parrish DOC inmate on it is sooooo classy. Dare I say it looks sexy on some people. I even wore mine to a Public Adminstration Ethics masters level class the week after I had skipped class to attend Winny.
