A few sneak peaks from MR.W

Wow,

Those pictures look pretty good. I didn't think they looked that good on my camera. You sure brought out the color, Thanks.

I just used the auto adjust settings in my Aperture program and that's how they came out. I can't wait to shoot them. I hope you added some master score magic to them.

Jason,

I believe there is something wrong with the stock. You should send it to me for testing and evaluation. I will get back to you with a report in a few years. (hee! hee!)

Tell me about the finish. I have not seen anything like that before. It is very nice.

I just picked the "Pimp Your Stock option". You get a pimped out stock and he throws in a free set of of Gold teeth. "Grill covers"

Now here's a list of what I'm going to do to shoot my master scores;

1: Use a pimped out rifle.
2: Wear a pink shooting shirt.
3: Vest must come from South of the border.
4: Shoot bare foot.
5: Run to the line after they have already called ready.
6: Make sure I learn to text message while shooting.
7: Buy a Lapua hat. "got to be some sort of magic in them"

There is alot more to it than what I first thought. I will add to the list when I learn some more tricks.

Jason, you're a quick learner! Sure to make Master in no time!

[Innocent]

jjp, Buy Laupa hat???come on man you gotta learn to hustle, that should be given to you gratis and your spotter had better already have the rifle on the line and be in position to spot/score and call time.

Innocent

[BCloninger]

It's all in the spotter! I knew something was missing from your list!

[jjp]

A good spotter/coach is worth their weight in gold!!!

I'm looking for one too..... I'm letting PPKNY go for a number of reasons

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but,

What exactly does a spotter do? I have scored in NRA HP, but coaching is generally not allowed.
thanks

Mary,

Darned computers. They do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. I must have clicked on the wrong button to answer you as "it ain't there". Did we mention vision?

Anyway, good one! Ahhhh...I don't think so about the pimp mobile. Actually I knew someone who came back from a year in New Orleans in a 500 cubic inch Caddy pimp mobile. Goodness gracious. "Huggy Bear" of Starsky and Hutch would have looked right at home driving it. He returned to his senses (well, almost) right before gas prices really went nuts and figured out that it was not a good combination for the distances driven over here.

What caught my eye about the stock was the paint(?) itself. It reminds me of a Miata that an acquaintance in the sports car club painted as a show piece for the body shop he and his father own. It was a chameleon something or other (can not remember the name). It changed color with the light and from different angles. It was quite intriguing how they got a paint to do that. It wound up as a feature article in one or the other of the custom car mags. The problem is, you might not recognize your own rifle when you came back for it.

Chuck, a good spotter calls the where the shot impacted the animal, or missed it, wind conditions, mirage conditions, what animal and bank your on and keeps track of time for you. The spotter/shooter team is a vital combo in tuff conditions. many times it takes more than one time to develop a relationship with your spotter such that you trust each other.

Rick...we shall see how jason keeps up with his pimped rifles!!

To put it simply, a good spotter lets me not have to think about anything other than the spot on the animal that I'm going to hit. If the spotter is very good, he/she told me the spot to hit as I was mounting the rifle based on conditions. To be honest, I think it's a lot harder to be a good spotter than a good shooter for the same reason that the spotter is usually the more senior solider in sniper/spotter teams in the military.
