Tuesday, and Already Behind the Curve!

But first, the news:
Bicyclist Allegedly Attacked by Frozen Sausage-Wielding Thief The alleged victim told cops that his attacker swung frozen sausage links at him before hitting him in the head with a wrench...
We bicyclists are now frozen with fear...I'm considering caring a frozen Kosher hot dog with me at all times when I'm on the bike. Does anybody make an insulated shoulder holster for a frozen weiner?

Spent some time at the range working with my competition AR...as I mentioned, I'd sighted it in at 25 yards. On this most recent trip to the range the 100-yard range was open, so I was able to tweak the sight-in at 100, then spend a little time verifying it at 75, 50 and 25 yards. I realize none of this is probably going to help me at the Crimson Trace Midnight Sun night 3-gun in July, but I at least have a lot of faith in my JP rifle. I'm also getting a much better sense of how the Leupold CQ/T works, and I'm getting used to the circle/center dot reticle.


I got the Briley 10-shot tube for the Remington Versa Max, which I'll probably install today. Both guns will be running Streamlight TLR-1 HP 200-lumen rail-mounted lights, with standard TLR rail lights as back-ups. Also a big case of CR123 batteries! LOL!

BTW, had a very nice lunch yesterday with Rob Pincus, where we caught up on each other's various and sundry projects (and Rob has a ton of them!). You'll see one of Rob's newest training videos on SHOOTING GALLERY/DRTV next season. Rob is presently sporting the World's Ugliest Beard, the result of a lost bet. Makes him look like an extra in Hatfields & McCoys.

  2. Michael, looking forward to sseing and visiting with you in Oregon as I will be there as well. I'm disappointed they don't have a "senior" division as I'm 66 years old and I was told I have to 'compete'. This shoulld be good for more than a few laughs...

    All The Best,
    Frank W. James

  3. Funny, Pathfinder.... Actually, the development of the World's Ugliest Beard is being documented in the Video Updates from the PDN Tour. :-)

  5. When frozen sausages are outlawed, only outlaws will have frozen sausages!

    Couldn't care less about Pincus's face, but I really want to hear more about the new Streamlight. I have one of the standard TRLs on my 870. So, when I picked up a Fenix TK50 and was amazed by the incredible throw distance, I immediately though about how that would be useful for rifles, especially ranch and varmint guns to have such a thing in something about the same size at the TLR.
