I am going to order up some magnets for events and what - not -

I think you guys already have this stuff - but i don't and i wanted something racecar -

so i came up with some of these as ideas - didn't know if you guys wanted to go in with me or not, the more i get the cheaper they are i guess - i was going to get them at buildasign.com i think is the name - I think i like the last one - and i'll probably be ordering pretty soon -

Yep, CHL test. I'm not sure, but I think the gun I shot has a different weight for the first pull so it was throwing me off. I'm pretty sure those 4 off the target were those. I know I had at least 4 where I was wondering if the gun was going to fire and had no idea where the shot went. I think Pat posted a little diagram and up and right means you are anticipating recoil, which sounds right to me.

It's not hard at all to pass. You only need 35 in the 5 point area to pass, so I knew my last 10 shots from 15 yds wouldn't even matter.

Anticipating recoil will normally make you shoot low. Nut enough finger on the trigger will go right, too much finger on the trigger will go left and if you're sitting high it's normally a grip or sighting issue. That's just an average though, different things can cause different shooters to have different issues. I went to the range the other day and was shooting low left quite a bit more than normal. I was not happy lol

I'm pretty sure I'll be at the 1/26 event. I'll have to register pretty late though cuz I've been working a lot of Saturdays lately

^ Mike, can I stop by your house one day and pick up the wheel spacers from you for test fitting purposes? I'll return them to you within a day or two.
