Thanks for the 'nearly.' Yeah, those chandelles. All three days I broke three sets of true doubles in a row at that station and then sat down 'cause I was bored. Obviously, if you'd shoot a properly set up gun (SxS) you wouldn't suck so bad.Stackbarrel16 wrote:As for Voss yeah he's nearly insufferable I shot the second day quite respectably with the 16, excepting those fucking chandelles.

Nobody would expect one to waste valuable shells shooting such an elementary set of targets. I saved my ammunition for showing those who were interested in improving themselves how to break the high, crossing pair off the dam at Station 6. Once done with that pedestrian task, I moved back another 20 yards or so to make them interesting.Stackbarrel16 wrote:Ah so you never completed the station, thanks.

From one who claims to have an "unfettered mind"! I think I finally figured out that it is evidently unfettered by what Stephen Colbert calls "Truthiness"!steve voss wrote:Nobody would expect one to waste valuable shells shooting such an elementary set of targets.

Chuck, you are close, but still mistaken. What I actually have is an 'unfettered ego.'

My life motto is, "It's ok to be full of it as long as you know it." The most crap we take in life comes from those who are full of it and don't know it. I am more full of it than about anybody I know. It makes life fun.Chuck Graber wrote:Now that has the ring of truthiness!!!!steve voss wrote:Chuck, you are close, but still mistaken.

That is a good, but not great comeback. Do try to keep up.Stackbarrel16 wrote:A VEL (Voss ego lead) is farther than a LDL, exponentially.

Mr. Graber:
The question is not: "What an RBL has, that a Gold Label lacks..."
The proper question is: "What a Gold label has, that an RBL lacks..."
And the answers are:
a. Over one pound less weight
b. 12 gauge chambers, when 20 is enough
c. not enough triggers
d. lots of gaps in the inletting
e. still being manufactured
f. an absence of attractive engraving
...and probably other features!
Now, if I could just figure out how to properly shoot my RBL...
JERRY

This one was discussed many times at Flatwater 2008. The Executive Committee has a new "nom-de-net," Torque. :D
