i really have tried and tried to help my ex roomie out but he cannot shoot an auto to save his life. he's ok with a revolver but can't hit the broad side of a barn with an auto.

we worked one day with my 1911 and he eventually got really good, i had to constantly correct his grip but eventually he got it down. but then switch over to the 9mm and he was back to shooting 3y groups. Any clue why this would be? he flinches very little, it's got to be something with how he's sighting but i can't figure it out to save my life.

Combination of his grip and his sighting method, it depends on where hes looking when hes aiming, at the front sight, target, or rear site.

ISSF shooting (what I shoot), you ONLY look at the front sight, if I remember correctly, when shooting something like speed plates you look at the target and not at your sights. *never shot speed plates*

when my eyes start to go i'll cry a lot. of all my senses i love my vision most of all. I do miss my sense of smell though

collar tab??

The little plastic rods that are in the points of the collars of decent dress shirts.

My vision hasn't changed in ~5years though.

Anyone have any good recommendations for new surge suppressors? I'm currently looking at the Tripp Lite stuff, a big badass one is preferred.

Polyphaser gas-tubes on the main AC lines

Stuff is damn near indestructible...

If I get a pre-amp, what kind of amp would I need to drive my mains ? I mean could I use my integrated amp ?

Can the gear in the US work on 220v ?

If your integrated amp has a way to bypass its own preamp section, yes. The NAD 3020 I had could do that, so you could run it as either a pre-amp or power amp depending on which inputs you used. When used as an integrated, there was a little metal jumper in between the jacks.

As for 220V, not unless you've got a transformer of some kind...I know a lot of RF amps that work on 220V, but not many in the audio world

So I'm stuck to searching for stuff here

And I refuse to ask the people here for more recomendations (sp?).

10 years here. Can't remember what the prescription is (-0.5 sounds right). Going to see if I can do corrective surgery next trip.

we have those in our premium shirts, i usually pull them out and throw them away though...i guess i'll start leaving them in

I would go on a site like DIYAudio and ask around what people are using for stepdown transformers so you can use 120VAC gear.

hahahahahah

Why refuse?

time to go spend money i don't have on a gym membership i probably won't use

might be an eye dominance issue. more then likely, gun/grip issues. switching from a semi custom 1911 like yours to (what 9mm?) anyother gun is going to create some issues. also, most revolvers have fat grips, those on autos might be too flat and he's not controling the rcoil as he should.

speed/plate shooting involves looking at the front sight as well. for the fast guys anyway. if your punching paper slow fire, front and rear are needed.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Crazy bastage.

Anyone heard of modifying a power conditioner with a remote turn on switch?

The webforum I am one of the admins for just got hacked. Fun.

Sounds like a whole pile of fun.

Indeed it does.

All I want is a power conditioner with a fricking on/off remote control on it. I don't want to have to make my own but it is looking like I might have to. With where universal remotes are in the technology world, I don't see why they don't have these.

Good nap this afternoon....wasted about 3 hours just sleeping heavily.

Interesting project: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread....threadid=115835

Found a SurgeX SX1115RT that will do what I want, but for 600$, hell no.

lol, guess it wasnt hacked... just one of the admin made a whoops & banned 24.*.*.* to 96.*.*.* LOL

Why refuse?

I ask for a low-budget amplifier and they say 200 euros minimum for something decent.

Working on unwinding the new power supply.

Managed to wire the coils right the first go

Mucho thanks to the physics lab for donating it. No noise ftw.

Jim, I think a custom transformer shouldn't be too expensive. I mean I'm not going to need more than 500VA....

So, depending on the options I may just buy a pre-amp and a separate amp from the us

Back to unwinding. It's going to take awhile

Minor whoops.
