Got all the spinners fixed back up and working perfect now. Makes it really nice to have permanent targets instead of having to replace paper target constantly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7mnBLmIec8

For $50 it actually not bad considering the old Oregon Scientific cameras were $100 and had way worse quality. My roam hasn't been to bad considering the start up issues I had at first and the $200 it cost. I guess it is a case of get what you pay for.

That reference is probably lost here. However, I'm sure someone here is headed to Delaware range with a six pack of 5 hour energy and 50 rounds of ammo.

I look at it this way, if I can hit what I aim at when I am calm and collected from 35-50 ft, then that stressed out adrenalin filled shot at 15 ft will be easier and better. Honestly comparing guns on individual likes and dislikes is like comparing motorcycles. Each rider has different needs and rides differently and at the end of the day all that mattered was it got you where you wanted to go, was functional in doing so and didn't get you killed along the way. Should be the same for a concealed carry more or less. That said, just like motorcycles we like to hear other peoples experiences on what worked for them. To that end I have enjoyed going to rent different pistols to try with friends or trying their firearms and letting them try mine. But like bikes I don't have money to own them all so I'll learn to use what I have to the best of my ability.

IDK, I'm pretty accurate with my LC9. Maybe it's the shooter not the gun? Honestly though, when switching back and forth between guns I find the first few rounds always suck. So it took me a while to get used to the long pull on the LC9 but once I get used to the long pull I'm as accurate with it as the G4 Glock17. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeLxP6Kywzk

I really have to post a photo of an LC9?

2nd Yosemite visitor dies of rodent-borne illness 9:20 AM ET, 08/28/2012 - Associated Press YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. -- A second person has died of a rare, rodent-borne disease after visiting one of the most popular parts of Yosemite National Park earlier this summer, and park officials were warning past visitors to be aware of some flu-like aches and symptoms and seek medical help immediately if they appear. Health officials learned this weekend of the second hantavirus death, which killed a person who visited the park in June, spokesman Scott Gediman said in a statement. There was one other confirmed case of the illness, and a fourth is being investigated. Yosemite officials said the four visitors might have been exposed while vacationing at the park's Curry Village, and are warning those who stayed in the village's tent cabins from mid-June through the end of August to beware of any symptoms of hantavirus, which can include fever, aches, dizziness and chills. An outreach effort is under way to contact visitors from that period who stayed in "Signature Tent Cabins," which have more insulation and amenities than other tent cabins. Federal health officials say symptoms may develop up to 5 weeks after exposure to urine, droppings, or saliva of infected rodents, and Yosemite advised visitors to watch for symptoms for up to six weeks. Of the 587 documented U.S. cases since the virus was identified in 1993, about one-third proved fatal. There is no specific treatment for the virus. After-hours calls to Yosemite officials seeking further details were not immediately returned Monday night. Following the first death, which was reported earlier this month, state health officials advised anyone with symptoms to seek medical attention and let doctors know if they were camping in Yosemite. Officials said thousands of people visit the park every month, so it would be impossible to track everyone who had set foot in Curry Village. Curry Village is the most popular and economical lodging area in the park, a picturesque assemblage of rustic cabins at the base of the 3,000-foot promontory Glacier Point. Gediman told the San Francisco Chronicle that of the 408 tent cabins in the village, 91 are of the "signature" variety where the four cases had stayed, which feature more insulation and amenities than the others. It was not clear how many people stayed in the cabins in the period in which park officials are warning visitors. Gediman said contractors are working on the signature cabins to protect park-goers. "They're doing everything they can to eliminate areas where mice can get into the cabins," Gediman told the San Francisco Chronicle. "This was never because the cabins were dirty, it was never because we didn't take care of them. This is just because approximately 20 percent of all deer mice are infected with hantavirus. And they're here in Yosemite Valley." This year's deaths mark the first such deaths in park visitors, although two others were stricken in a more remote area in 2000 and 2010, officials said.

I guess I should clarify, the Outlaw Richland Furnace before it was closed down and made a non motorized vehicle area. Richland Furnace ORV area is fine and always has been. But it has been expanded since those days. Last time I was there was before the big wind.

Yeah, Richland Furnace used to be the same way. Indypup, my long distance travel is limited at the present by $$$ and being able to care for the dogs.

Well at least you will from now on.

I've decided it is okay for walking around as a ccw holster now that I've cut the leather belt loop off the other side. Uncomfortable as hell in the car and sticks out too much on the bike. So I've bought a bum bag (AKA fanny pack) that the LC9 fits in perfect with the mag. CCW is much easier with it as I can take it off and put it back on and no one knows what is in it. Now if I can just get over the stigma of a bum bag as being gay apparel I'll be okay.

I had one idea. If you took some 12 inch pipe and feed it around the leaking pipe as far into the ground as possible you might be able to pump out the water and then pour concrete between the two. The concrete and 12 in pipe would be a permanent addition but it would add stability to the narrow pip and hopefully seal it. Depending on how deep the bend is you could even try a steel pipe around it down into the soil beneath.

With plastic corrugated pipe like they use in field drainage tilling it is usually a replacement issue as there is no permanent fix (at least none the farmers I know use). As a temp patch I would try using a trash bag to plug the leak till the pond can be drained and the pipe replaced.

Good eye, I was hoping someone would catch the multiple shells hitting the ground form a revolver no less. One of the few plays on modern action movies.

You're right, I should have applied for a government grant to film mating rituals of the rural walmart shopper. Sad part is I'd probably get it.

Pm me.

I'm unemployed and ran out of metal plate to build spinner targets. What can I say, I have lots of free time to let the brain go down the drain.

Apparently some don't remember the old b movie with bad effects and three takes in a death scene. Tried to explain on another forum how it is supposed to be bad acting with switching clothing, guns changing (start with a revolver then suddenly it's a glock, using a pump .22 instead of a shotgun, spurs on tennis shoes, etc. Oh well, I guess it is a generational thing. Like someone not understanding the way shows that were black and white suddenly became color. So I'm guessing Hoblick doesn't like British humor either?

Okay you can shoot me with a pussy. Just make sure it's not too sloppy.

Target range plate.

So the correct answer to the OP's original question is at least two 8 lb turkeys thick? As for Todds comment, I'd rather just not be shot at all with any bullet.

Okay, it's time for the spaghetti western meets attack of the killer tomatoes meets You Tube shooter using soda bottles! What fun is just shooting pop bottles with out turning them into a zombi apocalypse? I think I'm ready for the big screen! Try to remember it's supposed to be really bad acting to meet my "B" movie rating, thankfully I am an over achiever in this area. ENJOY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfxsolOa7wc

Make sure to plug it in and turn it on for full effect!

Then you still loose an eye, but would be a movie star, so it would all be okay.
